Escape to this spacious home with creek side hot tub! We hope you’ll love the charm of this home as much as we do. Originally built in the early 1900’s as a 3 room cabin, those 3 rooms remain with the original hardwood floors, tongue and groove paneling, and original interior doors. With the additions (both up and out!) and renovations, it is ready for your family and friends to enjoy! Located on Wayah Creek, just 5 miles from scenic Wayah Bald and the Appalachian Trail, this home will exceed your expectations for comfort, convenience and relaxation. Enjoy lazy days and star lit nights lounging in the 6 person Hot Springs Grande hot tub overlooking the water or walk across our bridge for a hike into the Nantahala National Forest! Make this home base for all there is to discover in gorgeous Western North Carolina, from bountiful waterfalls and white water rafting to gem mining and everything in between! Trailer your boat and visit some of the beautiful mountain lakes in the area....Lake Nantahala is a beautiful 10 mile drive away. And don't forget your fishing poles!!!
Inside the home, you’ll experience the creature comforts of Starlink High Speed WiFi as well as 3 Smart TV's ready for you to log into your favorite programming! Our completely renovated open kitchen with state of the art gas range will please the finest chef in your group! The large pantry has plenty of space for all your groceries and the cabinets are stocked with pots, pans, gadgets and even a crockpot (did someone say boiled peanuts?!). Gather around our bar made from a 100 year old Poplar Tree or relax in the overstuffed chairs in the river room as you listen to the soothing sounds of the rushing creek. In the winter, keep yourself toasty beside the wood burning fireplace. Enjoy the warmth of the heated marble floors in the foyer and upstairs bath!
There’s plenty of space for everyone to spread out with one bedroom on the main level with a queen bed and television adjacent to a newly renovated tile bathroom with walk in shower. Two oversized bedrooms are located upstairs. Behind beautiful sliding barn doors is a large family bedroom with one queen bed and 2 twin beds plus a large walk-in closet. The Master bedroom has a king bed overlooking the river and large sitting area with sofa, 2 chairs, and a wall mounted TV for enjoying from the bed or sitting area. There is a private balcony off the Master bedroom for soaking in the sights and sounds of the water below. The 2 upstairs bedrooms shared a large bathroom with heated marble floors and heated towel rack to knock the chill off on even the coldest winter mornings! The bathroom has an inviting slipper tub for long soaks or quick dips! If showering is your preference, the downstairs bath will meet your needs!
Gather around our beautiful handmade wood dining table in the river room for meals and game nights! Or enjoy time together on the creek side deck with picnic table and rocking chairs. The laundry room with new washer and dryer is also on the main level so you can pack light and go home with clean clothes!
Conveniently located on Wayah Road, also known as The Mountain Waters Scenic Byway, a paved road, the home is easily accessible even during inclement weather.

Grocery shopping and restaurants are less than 10 minutes away.

Perfect home for a 3 generation stay. The creek was great for the kids to play in and explore. Owner provided tons of information and we loved finding the waterfall and swimming hole within walking distance.
Beautiful property with everything needed for our stay. Beds were comfy too. The only negative (which wasn’t a big one) is that the lights under the bridge and in the upper fire pit area didn’t work.
The pictures on vrbo were great but didnt do this place justice, it was even better than it looks online. One of the best properties we have ever stayed at. My wife and I had one of the most relaxing weekends ever.
Lovely home situated in a park-like atmosphere. We loved our stay. Home was extremely clean and had everything we could want to feel at home. Close to stores and restaurants. We loved the dry falls and a trip to Highlands for lunch.
We had the BEST time and absolutely loved this property! The sound of the creek was so relaxing while sitting on the porch. We enjoyed some family time using the hot tub and fire pit. The house was super clean and had everything we needed for a week away from home. We'd love to stay there again!
This was perfect for our family of seven! We rafted the Nantahala, hiked a bunch, a rode the rock slides. Gathered around the outdoor fire pit at night. Comfy beds & great access. It was just wonderful!
This was our second time staying at this property, and it was just as clean and comfortable as I remember. We have 5 children 6 and under, and it was the perfect place to relax, for the kids to safely explore and everything we needed for our stay. We enjoyed a day trip to Highlands and a trip up to Wayah Bald lookout tower (not to be missed!) We will be back!
Get that group of couples or family and get this house! It’s in the perfect location for multiple towns and there is so much to do! Make sure you stay for a while. I guarantee you’ll not want to leave! Owner is extremely helpful and quick to respond.
We stayed for our anniversary weekend and it is idyllic…….we had the perfect cozy and relaxing time! Kathy was extremely helpful and responsive with recommendations. Thank you for a wonderful rental property! We will be back!
We could not have asked for a more wonderful place to stay….however….I will have to say that the upstairs bathroom was my favorite! It had all the modern amenities with the nostalgic feel!
Thank you for a clean, relaxing place! We are very busy people and needed a week to just relax and enjoy this beautiful, quiet, and clean rental!
The wife and I had an awesome time and would definitely come back. House was clean and the owner is super responsive with messages. The creek was the highlight to me and to go through the day and then fall asleep with the sound of that in the background is so relaxing. Loved it and would recommend.
My husband I enjoyed the home for a nice restful stay. Listening to the stream go by curled up with a good book in the sun room was my favorite spot😊
This was our second time and the upgrades outside were a nice surprise wonderfully done. This don’t be our last time we will be back again!
I had friends from Michigan and Alabama meet up here. The cabin was amazing, so many features that just made our stay top notch. The view in the master was beautiful. Sitting out by the fire pit was very comfortable. The only thing we had a problem with was the driveway because we had 2 F250's, one with a trailer... It was a tight squeeze, but other than that, I would highly recommend
We enjoyed our week here. The kitchen was fully stocked with all the tools we needed, the hot tub was great and the heated floors were amazing. This was not a problem for the two of us, but with a bigger group only having one shower on the first floor (bedrooms upstairs) could be a problem.
Overall I would recommend this home.
Amazing house location and owners have thought of everything!
Couldn’t have been happier w our stay. The house was clean and everything was provided! Little touches throughout show how much they care. The creek is so amazing and the hot tub worked great and powerful jets. The bath tub in upstairs bath is the best for soaking and almost as comfy as a bed. Beds so comfortable. We will return and recommend it to others.
The babbling brook just steps from the house, in the beautiful woods, was like something out of a fairy tale. The house itself is also gorgeous, and the furnishings are impeccable! Everything you could possibly need has been provided. So peaceful and quiet! We had fun exploring the area and the fall colors were spectacular. Trips to Wayah Bald and Dry Falls were worth the drive!
This property is by far my favorite among all rentals I’ve done. The setting could not have been more beautiful. I took along 5 other 67 y/o “girls” who have been friends since jr high & we enjoyed this place so much. The house is perfect w/plenty of room for a big group & pretty much everything you’d need is provided. The icing on the cake is the creek running thru the property which was so lovely & peaceful. The firepit area was used on several nights of our stay & was so much fun. I’d def love to go back to this unbelievably perfect property!
