Our stay was one of the best experiences we’ve had. The cabin was beautiful and perfect for our family of 4. The creek was a lot of fun, we visited it every day after our day of adventure in Boone and Banner Elk. The porch was nice for relaxing and listening to the waterfalls. Our host Renee made check in super easy.

Such a peaceful retreat

Cozy little cabin at the end of a long gravel road. It was great floating in the tubes down on the creek. Both us and our dog had a blast! Will definitely return.

Perfect Getaway

We loved our stay at the cabin Up the Creek! It was so peaceful and cozy, clean and had everything we would need. We had fun adventuring down at the creek, roasting marshmallows, and enjoying quiet evenings on the back deck. We would absolutely visit again!

A very cozy and comfortable cabin overlooking a beautiful accesible stream nestled not far from Boon, NC. Great escape if you are looking for some peace while still having access to the areas major attractions. The driveway is fairly steep but very manageable under normal weather conditions. I would probably recommend a 4 wheel drive if there is any snow. From my experience the driveway is not uncommon for many mountain homes. The home has everything you need just bring your own groceries and coffee and then you can enjoy your own little private retreat. I would book again.

Amazing waterfall

This was our second time staying here, and it won't be our last! My family loves walking to the waterfall. The sound of the creek and the privacy at this cabin is rejuvenating. We can't wait to come back next time!

Peaceful creek cabin

Absolutely beautiful cabin that is so cozy and secluded in the woods. Loved sitting on the porch listening to the creek! Loved the picnic table on porch and enjoyed our meals on porch. Super clean and loved the decor and all the wood work pieces in the cabin. Loved enjoying the creek, waterfall, etc. Hope to go back! You will not be disappointed.

Up The Creek

We had such a peaceful stay at Up The Creek and Renee was the perfect host. The sound of the creek, the beautiful fall colors and the fall flowers that greeted us when we walked in the cabin are the memories that we brought home with us after our stay in this lovely cabin.

Great stay in Deep Gap

The property was as or better than advertised. We had a fun time enjoying the creek and walking the trail to the waterfall. Cabin was clean and has everything we needed. Location is a really good base location if you want to have some privacy, but have access to town. We would definitely recommend and say here again!
