We had the best time at the Creekside Cricket! Our pup Bo had the best time playing in the Creek. Despite the rainy weather we enjoyed the peace and quiet as well as the hot tub! Service was spotty for us even with WiFi, but it was also nice to disconnect. I was able complete homework on my laptop which was good! Space was clean and comfy! Would love to visit again! Host was accommodating and easy to communicate with if needed! Highly recommend!

Wonderful place to detach and relax

Perfect place to get away from the daily routine to relax and enjoy nature. Lots of places to visit and enjoy the magnificent scenery at the same time. Cute place and big enough for a couple to spend quality time together watching tv, cooking, grilling sitting by the fire pit and the wonderful hot tub!! Had some questions and Shelby got back right away and was super friendly. We'll definitely come back again.

Cute little getaway

We booked for a week long anniversary trip. We usually camp/backpack but wanted something more comfy this year. Perfect for hiking and soothing muscles afterwards in the hot tub under the stars!! The road in front of the place had a rather large ditch probably due to water erosion, but that’s not the owners fault!

Creekside Cricket Cabin

It was exactly as it was described. One room studio cabin and great to have stove and hot tub. It was extremely difficult to get our trailer up to it and barely turned around, so I would suggest only bringing a car or truck (do not bring a trailer!) cabin was just as it was described and AC was great.

Cool little cabin but there are some issues

I had a fantastic stay at this location. The cabin was clean, cozy, and provided ample parking for my truck with a trailer. The air conditioning was pleasantly cold, and the hot tub was a much-needed relief after a long 12 hour drive and a thrilling ride through the Tail of the Dragon.The convenience of having a general shop just 10 minutes away was a plus, and everyone at the property was friendly and welcoming.However, there were a few concerns during my stay. The seal on the mini fridge was faulty, requiring me to prop a small chair against the door to ensure my food and drinks stayed cold. Additionally, the cabin had a strong odor of cigarette smoke, particularly when I turned on the shower vent. Unfortunately, this resulted in all of my and my girlfriend’s clothes absorbing the smell, even after keeping the windows open all day and running the fan continuously.Another issue was with the lighting—when dimmed to the lowest setting, the lights flickered excessively, though they functioned properly when fully turned on.Also I'm not sure if the cabin was supposed to be tilted, but from the moment you walk in you can definitely tell the cabin is slanted toward the door and porch. Messed with my balance for a second until I got used to it. Despite these concerns, the overall experience was enjoyable, and the location had several positive attributes that made the stay worthwhile.

Nice Getaway

This was my first experience using vrbo. The rental process was very easy and only took minutes. The property owner was very nice and professional answering any questions I had. We loved the location and the cabin was the perfect size. The only suggestion I could make would be for the owner to evaluate the bed. It was not comfortable. Other than that it was a wonderful experience!

4th wedding anniversary getaway

This cabin is perfectly sized for 2 people, and positioned perfectly to allow easy access to numerous areas (Gatlinburg, Asheville, Bryson City). Nature is right outside the front door and the night time sky is filled with stars. The owners of the property were amazingly helpful answering any and all questions and helping to make this a truly memorable vacation.

Great road for motorcycles!

This little house was so cute, tables and headboard were gorgeous! Description was accurate, it's small, no problem for us just keep it in mind. The best part was how easy it was to come and go on a motorcycle. Most cabins we've rented have seemingly endless dirt roads, this had about a tenth of a mile, one wide curve and a very slight incline. If you have any experience riding on dirt you won't have any problems. Plenty of room to park a trailer (ours is 7"x16" plus extended cab truck) although turning it around was a little tricky. There is a driveway though just before the house you can back into, just make sure you have a good spotter to help. There is another house next door, but the deck and hot tub face away from it, so as long as your neighbors aren't noisy you won't notice it. The road is also right next to the house, but it wasn't busy, we saw maybe three cars during the day. I usually look for complete seclusion, but knew this ahead of time and was willing to compromise in exchange for having a road that was easy to travel. The owner is awesome!! Immediate responses and completely honest and up front, even said this may not be ideal for two people for a full weeks because of the size (for my husband and I it was perfectly fine, we spend most of our time outside or in the bike anyway). Overall great place to stay, only reason I gave four stars on location was my preference for seclusion, but again, I knew there were neighbors ahead of time and chose it anyway, and that's just a matter of preference! I would definitely recommend renting for this owner as well, she is great!

Absolutely magical

My wife and I stayed here with our dog for a winter vacation and loved every minute! The cabin was not hard to find and was in a great location. It was so quiet, all you could hear was running water. The hot tub was awesome! Bed was comfy, pillows were soft, water was hot when we needed it to be, and the ac/heat worked well! The cabin was small but provided us with a very intimate experience. My wife and I reconnected on a whole new level and came back home like a couple of newlyweds! Something about this cabin and the mountains of NC were absolutely magical and brought us together closer than ever before. I highly recommend a trip like this to any couple!!
