A GREAT TIME was had by all at Creekside! …

Everything about the cabin and our week-long stay was TOP-NOTCH … starting with the close proximity to Franklin and the obvious fact that the property is well-cared for and well maintained … factors such as the cleanliness, the comfort of the beds, the wonderful private secluded view from the expansive back porch on which we spent a lot of time enjoying our morning coffee listening to the sound of the creek as well as the generous supply of dry firewood and extras of household supplies like towels, washcloths, cookware, soaps and toiletries were all obvious efforts indicating that the owners very much wanted to make their guests feel comfortable and happy to be in their space! They were quite successful! Thank you Hannah and Lance!

Checks all the cozy creekside boxes

This was our favorite property we have stayed at in Franklin over the years and we will definitely be back! I always look for creek access for playing and fishing first, then a downstairs bedroom for my aging mother, then the other bedrooms and location. Creekside Cabin checked all the boxes and was just perfect and magical upon arrival. It was perfectly cozy while also having plenty of bedroom and bathroom space. We ate lunch and dinner on the back porch and played in the creek everyday. Each night, my daughter couldn't wait until dusk to catch fireflies and then we would cozy up to a nightly movie. My husband brought up our Jeep for the first time and enjoyed driving on trails nearby right across the GA line. Downtown Franklin is very close by with some of our favorites: Crabtree General Store & Coffee Vault, Chop House, Outdoor 76, The 28734 Store, & Las Margaritas. Downtown Clayton, GA is also a favorite. Both towns and the cabin are dog friendly. Highly recommended!!

Great Stay!

My husband and I stayed four days at the cabin. We had an amazing time. The cabin was clean, the master bed was very comfortable, and the porch looking over looking the creek was so peaceful. We would definitely recommend this cabin for a quite, cozy stay.

Family friendly

One of the best experiences we’ve ever had. The cabin is very family friendly and well equipped with all you will need AND MORE. We hope to rent again in the future for more family stays. The location tucked away in the trees with the best creek ever was 10/10! The WiFi and TV aren’t the best but it’s great for unplugging and have downloaded things on the iPad for the kiddos! Only about 11ish minutes from the store. My little one is 2.5 and it was perfection for her. She loved every bit of the cabin!

Absolutely Fantastic

I brought my mom here for her 87th birthday. We loved everything about the cabin. The location is beautiful, peaceful and secluded. The cabin is wonderfully appointed, clean and comfortable. The back porch and rockers were our favorite spot along with sitting by the creek. We didn’t use the fire pit but it’s a beautifully done area. The landscaping, both natural and planted are gorgeous. We didn’t want to leave and will definitely be back!

Perfect getaway

We were blown away by this place and can't wait to get back! The cabin was perfect. You can hear the creek from the porch. Small enough to be cozy but large enough to have some space. The beds were extremely comfortable. The weather was cold! 20 degrees one morning - but we were toasty with the fire. Property and creek were beautiful - it was a little cold to maximize the outdoor space, but we did have a small fire one night and it was lovely. I would highly recommend this place for a family of four. The loft space has two extra beds but was a bit hard to access on the ladder. We can't wait to get back and will be booking another stay - for longer next time! We did not want to leave.

Perfect Mountain Escape!

Beautiful property! The house is very comfortable, with a lovely gas fireplace and a nice kitchen. The deck is perfect for relaxing! The creek is beautiful, and kept my kids entertained. There are plenty of great hikes within a reasonable distance. My kids were documenting salamanders and found numerous specimens at the creek and on hikes. My husband sent pictures to his co-workers and had several ask for booking information they were so impressed! I would recommend this stay without reservation. (Note: cell service is non-existent until you get closer to town and internet is spotty so be prepared to have people call you on the house phone or bring a long distance calling card)

Felt property could have been cleaner. Coffee maker, microwave, refrigerator needed to be cleaned and kitchen in general. Forthrightness of no cell signal, slow Wi-Fi, and access to property should be addressed. Bedding should be updated. Sereneness of brook a nice touch.
