Creekwood Cottage

KimberlyRating, 5 stars6 days ago
Exactly as described and pictured! When entering the spacious, cozy and comfortable home I only felt welcomed. Maybe it was the responsiveness from the Creekwood Cottage Team or the cleanliness, dust free space, or labeling for lights, or ceiling fans, that’s wholly appreciated. The mattresses were heaven sent…I am short 5’1, had to climb to get onto the bed in my room -2nd bedroom, however, worth the climb! Restful, sound sleep with a ceiling fan to boot! Roku TV’s in each room with nightstands and lamps. Their attention to every detail is remarkable. It’s the little things for me. Extra towels, blankets, games and yes, peace. Quiet, safe neighborhood with folks walking pets and kids. I loved coming home from the quick drive downtown New Bern after a day of exploring. Grocery stores, Harris Teeter, Food Lion and restaurants close by. Did not venture into the game room, or cook in the kitchen or hang out in the fenced back yard but next time will do! Love this space!!

Near Town/Deck/Hot Tub/Fire Pit/Views

BrandyRating, 5 stars2 weeks ago
It was really easy to find due to the directions that were given to us before arrival. There was a book on the counter with places people enjoyed going, take out menus, and reviews of local attractions. The space was clean and had everything we needed. It wasn’t as private as some of the others we’ve stayed in but it was a nice area.

Cedar Ridge Hideaway (True Cabin Retreat)

KimberlyRating, 5 stars9 months ago
This is just a lovely place up on a mountain! Even if you don't have an SUV or AWD, don't let the driveway scare you. Our Miata NC made it up multiple times with no problems. Take the advice of the cabin owner and go slow in low gear. The cabin was clean, comfortable and spacious. It is a peaceful, quiet and scenic spot. We enjoyed sitting on the front porch rockers and relaxing. You will be away from the action/hubbub of Fontana Village and Bryson City, but can get to either in 30-40 minutes. This was much better for us than renting several hotel rooms. The kitchen has everything you need. The hot tub area was nice, too. Owner communicates well and quickly. Thanks, Christina!

Creekside Too

CherianRating, 5 stars1 month ago
Went for mini vacation for spring break with wife and our aussiedoodle from April 6 - 9, 2025. Found the cute cabin, we drove past it and when we came back we found it. As soon as we went in, loved the ambiance, the simplicity of the layout, very easy check in and it had all the amenities. What we loved best is listening to the river water flow as soon as we get up and when we go to sleep. Ample place for our dog to run. Saw a number of ground hogs ( I think ) Loved the porch with rocking chairs and also LOVED the hot tub. But what we loved was sitting by the river. The bathrooms were big, very clean. The beds were ok comfy. Creeks a lot :-) . But I have to say kudos to host Tina & GSCR for being very responsive for all our needs. We are sure to come back to this beautiful cabin. Thank you for hosting us.

Cherry Treesort "Big Nick"

StephanieRating, 5 stars6 days ago
The Big Nick was perfect for my daughter's 12th birthday sleepover. My daughter and her friends had the larger cabin, and my husband and I had the smaller cabin. The girls felt so "grown up" having their own cabin, but we were only a stone's throw away. While we had a lot of rain the night we stayed, the girls were able to enjoy the bounce pillow the next morning. The fire pit would have been great at night for smores and hanging out if everything hadn't been so wet. Would come back and stay again.

Beacon Treehouse

LindseyRating, 5 stars6 days ago
Our stay at Chris + Torie’s treehouse was magical! Love the patio & twinkle lights… they greet you with such quaintness from the start. So many special touches in the treehouse. The bed is the most comfortable and coziest spot with the heated blanket! Also loved hot water in the outdoor shower. My daughter and I had the best time zip lining at The Gorge, and coming back to a fire at the treehouse afterwards. The location is fantastic as you are close to Flat Rock, Saluda & Hendersonville with amazing restaurants to enjoy. We hope to be back!

The "Whip-O-Will" Cabin was just as significant in making Our Birthday Celebration Weekend EXTRAORDINARY, as was the FESTIVAL we attended. From the moment we arrived, we were " Over-the-Top" excited!! We kept running around the grounds and Cabin like 17 yr.old girls - shouting out " Look at This; OMG, See what I found; How cool; I Love This; You've got to see this"! BTW - We are 70!! not 17, and we were Thrilled at all the Magic here. We can now check off " staying in a fresh, unique, inspiring, & comfortable " Tree House Cabin, from The BUCKET LIST. The decor was amazing, & there seemed to be surprises thru each door & in every cabinet, to enhance our experience. The weather co-operated & our short visit was just THAT...WAY TOO SHORT! Thank you, Sherry, for your prompt responses to questions; For providing info up front that eliminated most questions! Thanks for all the special treats & thoughtfulness you put into giving us a 5 star experience!! "WE'LL BE BACK"!!

My friend and I were so pleased with everything. The communication was so welcoming and helpful. The setting was absolutely beautiful - the woods, the creek, the pond, the house. The books and movies that were available were such a nice part of the setting, as well as the numerous options for sitting outdoors and relaxing. It really couldn't have been any better than it was.

Your guide to North Carolina

Welcome to North Carolina

North Carolina has a little bit of everything: city life, mountain getaways, coastal fun, the most visited national park in the country, the Great Smoky Mountains. Whether you’re into urban culture or Mother Nature, the state has got you covered. Towns run the gamut from tech hubs like Raleigh to smaller bohemian communities like Asheville. On the Eastern Seaboard, there’s the port city of Wilmington, home to one of North Carolina’s more popular seaside getaways, as well as the rugged Outer Banks, which span more than 100 miles of pristine coastline. And, of course, there’s the largest metropolis, Charlotte, a center for the state’s pro sports franchises as well as the famed Charlotte Motor Speedway. One of the country’s top craft beer destinations, North Carolina also boasts more than 340 breweries and gastropubs.


The best time to stay in a vacation rental in North Carolina

Spring and fall are generally the best time to visit North Carolina for guaranteed good weather. Overall, the summers can be hot and humid, while the winters can bring below-freezing temperatures and snow into the more mountainous regions of western North Carolina. The coastal areas are particularly busy during the summers, so book one of the state’s cabin rentals for shoulder season in late spring or early fall if you want to avoid crowds. The annual Grandfather Mountain Highland Games in July is a great opportunity to come learn about North Carolina’s Scottish heritage.


Top things to do in North Carolina

The Blue Ridge Parkway

The 469-mile Blue Ridge Parkway starts in Great Smoky Mountains National Park near the Tennessee-North Carolina border and winds its way northeast into Virginia, offering scenery galore paired with glimpses of Appalachian culture and Cherokee life. Popular stops include Grandfather Mountain and the Mile High Swinging Bridge with its 360-degree views of the surrounding mountains.

Carova Beach

If watching wild horses roam a sandy beach sounds like something out of a fairy tale, then you’ll want to add Carova Beach to your itinerary. The northernmost community in the Outer Banks is accessible only by unpaved beach, and the 100 Corolla wild horses that populate the area are descendants of the Spanish mustangs that arrived by colonial ships in the 1500s. Other herds are scattered throughout the barrier islands. Be sure to keep your distance and never feed the animals.

The Biltmore

The largest home in America looms just outside Asheville. Built in 1895, the 175,000-square-foot mansion once served as the home of George and Edith Vanderbilt. Take in the fascinating history of their railroad dynasty while on a self-guided tour of the 8,000-acre estate, which includes a winery.
