Carolina CREEKSIDE Cabin - Fire Pit & HOT TUB on the Creek - Easy Access

Located in lovely Waynesville, NC our cozy authentic log cabin is the perfect place to unwind and relax. The cabin is directly on Laurel Branch creek where the peaceful sounds of lightly rushing water can be heard the moment you step foot on the over 1 acre property.

Property is easily accessible with any vehicle. Paved road access with no steep inclines leading up to our short gravel driveway onto concrete parking. Plenty of easy parking and walk up to cabin make it very Senior citizen friendly too. All areas of the cabin and property can be accessed without stairs.

Flat screen TV with PlayStation 3 / DVD player and DirecTV with NFL Sunday Ticket Max. There is Verizon Business LTE service at the cabin for wireless internet and we have pretty decent cell service.

The kitchen is well appointed with everything you will need to cook a delicious mountain meal. From high end pots and pans, wine glasses, Yeti cups, coffee maker and everything else you will need to feel right at home.

Enjoy your meals and your morning coffee overlooking the creek in one of our many outdoor sitting areas.

Large bathroom with two vanities and inviting claw foot tub. Relax in a nice, hot bath after a long day of enjoying the mountains. There is a sliding glass door overlooking the Creek with a river rock patio area that is the perfect place to enjoy a morning cup of coffee brewed in the Keurig. In the evenings, this spot is perfect for enjoying a glass of wine.

This property is a bird sanctuary where you will encounter many different kinds of birds in season during your stay. With over 35 bird feeders, the sounds of song birds fill the mountain air. Our favorite is the beautiful and lively Hummingbirds. There are 10 Hummingbird feeders on the front porch and back Creekside deck. During the season, it is likely you will experience many Hummingbirds up close. Quite often we sit in the rocking chairs on the front porch and watch 5 - 10 Hummingbirds as they feed and chase each other from a few feet away.

Get ready to roast some marshmallows and make s’mores around the main big fire pit just a few feet away from the creek. We love sitting out there in the evenings enjoying each other’s company. There's another creekside fire pit at the grill/patio area too!

Kids and adults alike will love exploring the creek which completely surrounds 2 sides of the property. 

The Creekside deck is a magical place to enjoy the beauty of North Carolina up close. Rushing mountain spring water and native plants embody the natural beauty of the region. The deck sits right along the Creek a mere few feet away. There are rocking chairs, a wrought iron table with 4 chairs and the Creekside bar made out of reclaimed Oak wood with 4 Log trunk stools. In total, there is seating for 12 on the deck. Off the deck is a Creekside patio area with another wrought iron table with 4 chairs, fire pit and gas grill. We love to enjoy a beautiful charcuterie or dinner al fresco!

We recently added a hot tub deck with a luxurious BullFrog hot tub a few feet from the creek! The hot tub seats up to 6 and has a relaxing lounger. Another perfect place to unwind at the end of the day at the Cabin!

This cozy Creekside Cabin is a favorite spot for unplugging from the daily grind and getting back to nature while still enjoying comfortable amenities. We know our happy place will become your happy place too!
