About this cottage rental

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.

Awesome property with plenty of room and secluded. Nature trail out front door that leads to spillway from nearby lake. Kids had a great time playing in creek! Would definitely book again.
8.0 / 10.0Excellent·Jul 2025
The house is in a truly beautiful spot and the grounds are really well maintained so you can easily explore the creek. The driveway is not difficult to get in and out of and the roads around are easy to navigate. Loved spending time in nearby Brevard and nearby parks. Other reviews have mentioned that having only one AC in the main living area was inconvenient, but we were there in the dead of summer and we were never uncomfortable. Granted, temps were in the high 80s in the day and 70s at night, but each room had a fan and it seemed like the cool air circulated easily. Porches are fantastic. Plenty of toiletries, dish soap, towels - everything you might need. Only issue, and it's a big one, is that the dishwasher doesn't work. I reported it after our stay (didn't want the hassle of dealing with a repairman in our limited time), so I can't say if it's been fixed or not. I would inquire before booking. In addition to having to hand wash all our dishes while there, I noticed that this had clearly been an issue for some time, as all the dishes in the cabinet were filthy, and had clearly been put away after running through the worthless dishwasher. So that was a big bummer. Also, the coffee maker that was out for use is broken (loose parts sitting beside it), but there was an extra in the closet. If not for the disgusting dishes, this would be five stars. So if you're considering booking, just ask ahead of time.
