Our stay was one of the best experiences we’ve had. The cabin was beautiful and perfect for our family of 4. The creek was a lot of fun, we visited it every day after our day of adventure in Boone and Banner Elk. The porch was nice for relaxing and listening to the waterfalls. Our host Renee made check in super easy.

Such a peaceful retreat

Cozy little cabin at the end of a long gravel road. It was great floating in the tubes down on the creek. Both us and our dog had a blast! Will definitely return.

Perfect Getaway

We loved our stay at the cabin Up the Creek! It was so peaceful and cozy, clean and had everything we would need. We had fun adventuring down at the creek, roasting marshmallows, and enjoying quiet evenings on the back deck. We would absolutely visit again!

Amazing waterfall

This was our second time staying here, and it won't be our last! My family loves walking to the waterfall. The sound of the creek and the privacy at this cabin is rejuvenating. We can't wait to come back next time!

A very cozy and comfortable cabin overlooking a beautiful accesible stream nestled not far from Boon, NC. Great escape if you are looking for some peace while still having access to the areas major attractions. The driveway is fairly steep but very manageable under normal weather conditions. I would probably recommend a 4 wheel drive if there is any snow. From my experience the driveway is not uncommon for many mountain homes. The home has everything you need just bring your own groceries and coffee and then you can enjoy your own little private retreat. I would book again.

Up The Creek

We had such a peaceful stay at Up The Creek and Renee was the perfect host. The sound of the creek, the beautiful fall colors and the fall flowers that greeted us when we walked in the cabin are the memories that we brought home with us after our stay in this lovely cabin.

Beautiful Cabin & Even Better Property

This has been one of my favorite places we have rented in the mountains for our family. Very beautiful cabin setup. Like I said in the title the property is even better. Plenty of hiking and areas for our boys and dog to play around. The river area is beautiful. Keith C

We had a great time here! When I visit the mountains, I prefer privacy and this cabin delivered! The home was very clean and cozy. We enjoyed mornings on the deck listening to the creek and evenings by the fire. The host was very gracious and answered all of my questions. The dogs loved their freedom to roam here as well. We will be back! :)

Perfect Getaway!

This cabin exceeded our expectations. It is so beautiful and in the most peaceful location. We spent most of our weekend at the waterfall. It is a short hike, but a fun adventure! My boys (9 & 11) played in the creek for hours. We also loved sitting on the front porch listening to the creek. Beds are very comfortable, cabin very clean, and beautifully decorated. Renee is a wonderful host and she graciously let us arrive early and leave later. My family had a wonderful, relaxing weekend. We will most definitely be back again soon!

Peaceful Adventure

It was a beautiful cabin, with lots of attention to detail! I would say 4x4 or AWD was required, our CRVS Bailey made it up the gravel driveway. There was also no WIFI, including no phone service & almost a 30 minute trip to civilization...if we did not have a GARMIN, we wouldn’t have been able to find the place, as our phone connectivity died 30 min away. If there was an emergency you would be SOL. But I am from the suburbs and not used to the isolation. I would give this cabin an 8.5!

Amazing Cabin Getaway

We stayed at this cabin as part of our family vacation but also to tour App State. The location was perfect for both. We brought along our furry family as well and she had the time of her life. We were greeted by the sweetest little furry friend which we named LuLu Rosita until we found out her name was Rosie. She gave us our grand tour of the amazing decking that overlooks the creek. We spent most of our time on this deck reading, laughing and enjoying the sound of the creek. The inside of this cabin is just as amazing, complete with games, puzzles and anything else you may need. Beautiful, inviting and even fresh flowers throughout! I highly recommend this little retreat for anyone looking to truly get away from the hustle and bustle or to get the kids off their electronics! No WiFi or Cell service here made this easy to enforce!

Peaceful creek cabin

Absolutely beautiful cabin that is so cozy and secluded in the woods. Loved sitting on the porch listening to the creek! Loved the picnic table on porch and enjoyed our meals on porch. Super clean and loved the decor and all the wood work pieces in the cabin. Loved enjoying the creek, waterfall, etc. Hope to go back! You will not be disappointed.
