By the Creek Charming cottage on a creek

By the Creek is the perfect home for a relaxing getaway. This charming cottage offers privacy and tranquility, but is only an hour from Asheville for dining and shopping. Let the sounds of nature take your stress away as you relax on one of the two covered decks. You will feel like you're in your private oasis overlooking the 1,000 feet of stream that flow by the property.

The updated kitchen and open living room are perfect for gathering with friends and family. Enjoy the gas fireplace in the cooler months or open the sliding doors to the deck and relax to the sound of the stream in the spring and summer. The cozy main bedroom has a large walk-in closet and direct deck access. Downstairs there are two more guest rooms with a queen size bed and a full size. The downstairs living room is perfect for game or movie nights.

So, pour yourself a drink, have a seat on the deck, put your feet up and let the burbling song of the mountain stream carry your stress away, leaving the perfect tranquility of a pampering mountain cottage.

Hidden gem
Our family of 4 stayed here as a last minute get away in July before school started back up in August. The location is quiet and private. The kids enjoyed the stream, sadly we couldn’t enjoy a fire as it rained almost every day we were there and getting a fire started the 2 nights we could just didn’t happen. The house is stocked with everything you need. One thing to definitely know that we were not aware of is that the only a/c is a mini split in the living room area. The downstairs (2 bedrooms) and upstairs bedrooms do not have a/c. There were floor fans provided in the closets we used, but we are a family that loves it super cold at night so that was a bummer for us. Other than that we had zero complaints and enjoyed our getaway. Thank you for sharing your home with us!

Wonderful location!
This property is right on a babbling stream! You can sit outside on the porch and enjoy the sounds and sights of the stream. The fire ring is right on the water's edge for wonderful campfires next to the water. This place was lovely and is near lots of great waterfall hikes!

Peaceful Place, great for a family
We thorougly enjoyed a 5 night stay at this property last week. We rent VRBO properties 2-3 times per year at minimum. This home was one of the most thoughtfully renovated, well-equipped homes we have stayed in to date. The kitchen has recently been redone with new cabinets and appliances.The fire pit area has been improved since the listing photos were taken. The location is easily accessible from hwy 64, and the larger town of Brevard (with restaurants, Ingles, & Walmart) is about 30 minutes away. We enjoyed a few nearby hiking trails (within 15-30 minutes drive), and spent lots of time reading while the kids played in the creek. The only thing I would mention is that the upstairs bed is very firm - would be good to know when planning the sleeping arrangements. There are two other beds downstairs that are softer. I realize this is more about preference than anything else. We would consider renting this home again if we decide to stay in the area in the future.

Not quite what we expected
The setting for this home is nice. Very secluded and a beautiful creek very close to the home. The porches were perfect for relaxing and listening to the sound of the beautiful stream. Although the home was definitely very clean, the furniture in some of the areas was not up to par. The carpet on the stairs needs to be replaced. It would be best to have no carpet in the home and just hardwood floors. The linoleum floors are also outdated. I think there could be many improvements to this home as I think it was very expensive for the quality of the house.
