Just Perfect.

We had a beautiful stay celebrating belated Thanksgiving. Two hours in the Hot Springs fixed what ailed us and the hike to the top of Max Patch was a step into God’s country. The cabin was sweet and cozy and the backyard was perfect for the dogs to run around and get their energy out. Thank you for a wonderful holiday stay!!

Soothing sound of falling water

This is a cozy little cabin about halfway between Hot Springs and Trust. With the windows open we could hear the creek. Is was very convenient for us to let the dogs out in the fenced yard. I like a shower with a hand shower head so that was a definite plus. If you will be eating all you meals in Hot Springs, as we did, it is an 8 mile drive back and forth on a curving mtn road. The smokey Mountain diner is yummy for breakfast. Would stay again.

Creek Life Cottage.

We had a great stay. Too bad it was just for one night as we would have enjoyed being there longer and my husband wished he had brought his fishing rod. It was a perfect size for us and the fenced back yard was a plus for our dogs! Very relaxing. Owner very easy to work with and very accommodating. Thanks again!!

A Wonderful Discovery

Really nice, well appointed & comfortable - best of all - our 1 yr old Husky had a fenced yard - we humans enjoyed the creek running along edge of property. Bit of winding road to get there but no biggie...and well worth it. After 2 weeks of hiking and pushing ourselves sightseeing - it was great to use this cabin for 2 nights to relax and enjoy nearby sights. Will be back - highly recommend.

The Creek!

Moms of teenagers needed to get away for one night. It was so perfect! The fire pit and creek were absolutely what we were looking for. The house had all the amenities and was super comfortable. Sonya was very responsive and we had no issues whatsoever. I could see it being a great place for a couple with a small dog or, like for us, just friends that needed a night off. Loved it!

Beautiful !

Beautiful grassy backyard with many flowering shrubs that attract butterflies and hummingbirds. There is access to Spring Creek beyond the backyard where you can sit and dream to the sound of the water flow. The indoor design is simple and elegant with wood floors and arching wood ceilings. The bed was very comfortable. Everything was spotless and clean. The owner, Sonya was delightful, and it was a joy to stay here. I will be back!

We have stayed here many times over the past few years. We also knew the previous owners. My only suggestion would be to have an extra set of bedding for the fold out couch and pillowcases for the extra pillows. (maybe I missed the part about bringing extra for the couch) But everything was absolutely wonderful otherwise. Sonya was very quick in responding to any questions that I had.
