Creek-front Cabin on Wooded Acres

Welcome to Big Timber Creek Cabin!

Big Timber Creek Cabin is a creek-front log cabin on multiple wooded acres with views, a fire pit, and trails to walk or hike. The covered front porch enjoys mountain views, offers a gas grill, has dining and living areas, and an HDTV. The main level features an open eat-in kitchen, completely renovated in the summer of 2018, with stainless appliances, custom cabinets, and live-edge wood countertops. A round dining table and adjacent bartop seating accommodate 10 guests. The great room has vaulted tongue-and-groove ceilings with exposed beams, wood floors, new furniture, a stone, a wood-burning fireplace, and a large HD Smart TV. The master bedroom is on the main level and has a king bed. It has been recently renovated and has an upscale, full bathroom, also accessible from the kitchen area. Upstairs are two more queen bedrooms, a small loft with an arcade machine, and a full bathroom, also recently renovated. All three bedrooms have HDTVs. There is a washer and dryer on the main level, a hot tub outside, and more.
***See the river access note at the bottom of the description.

The Timber Creek Cabins, centrally located in Valle Crucis, are just a few miles from the Original Mast General Store and the Valle Crucis Park. Boone and Banner Elk are less than ten miles away, and Blowing Rock is about thirteen miles away. As you cross over the small bridge onto the Timber Creek acreage, stay straight and to the right (pass the driveway to neighboring Little Timber Cabin, which sits to the left of Big Timber). Big Timber has a fire pit down by the creek. Little Timber likewise has a fire pit, but it is closer to the little cabin.

*Allows pets with an additional fee paid after booking. The fee is $35 per pet per day.

**Please note: Little Timber Creek Cabin and the neighboring Big Timber Creek Cabin can be booked together, offering a total of four bedrooms, three bathrooms, and sleeping arrangements for ten guests. Since both cabins also rent individually, they would both have to be available during your desired dates. Property Page for Little Timber Creek Cabin.

***Private access to the Watauga River is less than a mile from Little Timber Creek Cabin. The property owner also has a large, 6-acre riverfront meadow with hundreds of feet of river frontage a short drive away! Look for the sign that says "Timber Creek Cabins River Access." Bring your fishing poles, picnic baskets, rafts and tubes, kayaks, and canoes. Fish or float the river and have a family picnic on the river banks. A unique amenity for Big Timber Creek and Little Timber Creek Cabins guests!

A Quiet Getaway
We truly had a wonderful time in this beautiful cabin, and on such beautiful property. The four of us had plenty of room, and we LOVED the porch overlooking the mountain side. We spotted so many deer, various birds, and a fox! We are already planning our next visit here, but for longer!

We had a wonderful girls weekend at this cabin. It is beautiful and secluded yet nearby to Valle Crucis and Boone. We loved all of the nice details of the cabin, and especially the porch. The river nearby was picturesque. We hope to be back!

So fresh and so clean!
House was very spacious and comfortable.we were super impressed with how clean and well apointed the home was. Our children and dog enjoyed investigating the outside property and the stream. We appreciated how close we were to Boone, and especially enjoyed kayaking on the New River, outfitted from River Girl Outfitters in nearby Todd. We had a great time, and we look forward to visiting again soon!

Beautiful cabin
We stayed here for a short weekend trip and had a great time. The cabin was perfectly designed and had great view. I was however disappointed in the cleanliness of it. The cabin was full of dust and master shower had mildew on it. There was also hair from previous guest on the bed sheets which was my biggest concern.

6th anniversary weekend
This cabin was a great place for me and my wife to enjoy our anniversary, quiet and private and only a short drive to town. We enjoyed playing the board games and uno the host had left also enjoyed fishing at the creek access! The bridge you have to cross to get to the cabin is a very tight turn for large vehicles was the only downside. I drive a f250 and had to do a 2 point turn going in and out everytime for fear of scratching my truck on the rocks or falling off the bridge

Secluded Cabin and Mountain Stream
Our family enjoyed our stay! The hot tub and covered deck were lovely places to hang out. The kitchen is nicely stocked with all utensils, cookware, etc We didn't use the fire pit, but what a lovely addition right next to the mountain stream. The driveway is steep and is tricky getting out if you pull straight in. Only two minor issues - we received check out instructions later than expected on our departure day so we had to scramble a bit to get things done. The dishwasher door doesn't open all the way due to space issues - so loading the lower rack is challenging. Other than that, we were so happy with our stay!

Disappointed
Unfortunately, as cute as this cabin is, the interior is very dark and somewhat gloomy. Water pressure and both showers is low. The propane range and the dishwasher are in disrepair. Many many of the dishes are chipped

Very peaceful
The cabin is beautiful and the view out the back porch plus the sound of the creek is so peaceful. The kitchen is well stocked and we had plenty of space. I did not love having a second cabin on the property mostly because you have to walk down the driveway to the creek but in order to get up the hill driveway you have to go fast. I wish my son could have walked down to the creek in his own because he is pretty independent- but that made me nervous. The creek area is the only outdoor play area since it is all sloped-but it was lovely. There was a lot of animal hair on the porch furniture- which is understandably hard to keep clean but it did tickle my allergies a bit. Cabin is close to so many things and pretty easy to get to. I would definitely recommend it to families-especially with older children/teens.

Needs a good cleaning
The carpets in the house smelled strong of dog, and probably need to be cleaned. I also think the hot tub needed to be drained and freshwater. The house was well equipped my only other comment was that you could hear everything in the house so if your are sound sensitive or a light sleeper this is not going to work

Mislead by advertisement
When we entered the cabin at check-in there were some crumbs and dirt on the floor in the kitchen, spider webs on some of the lamp shades, poop on the side of the toilet and floor in the downstairs bathroom, and blood stains on one of the pillow cases on the bed down stairs. The dishwasher was left packed with dishes from previous guests. The river access that was advertised was too far to walk with a dog and 14 year old kid with Autism and there was no parking area at the river access and meadow. The only place to walk my dog was a rock and gravel driveway. My dog is used to grass. We had to drive to the Valle Crucis Park to go for walks and walk along the river. Other than all that our stay was okay.

Beautiful cabin, lovely view
Pros: The cabin was absolutely lovely, furniture was comfy, amenities galore. Gas grill, indoor and outdoor dining tables, 4 sofas, numerous accent chairs, TVs in every room, love the Arcade Machine! Kitchen had every kind of pot, pan, platter, dish, silverware, etc that you could imagine. Coffee maker worked great, extra fancy toaster. Plenty of blankets, towels and pillows. Cons: Only 1 roll of toilet paper in one bathroom, none in the other. Only one trash bag in the whole house, zero paper towels. Not earth shattering, but unexpected given the ample offerings elsewhere in the home. Also, someone's else's stinky trash was left behind outside which left no room for our trash. icky

Great Stay
We enjoyed our stay at Big Timber Creek. The cabin was nice and cozy and had lots of privacy. The snow fell during our stay and the plow came into our driveway which was wonderful. Bedrooms were generously sized and comfortable. Helpful Suggestions: The kitchen needs to have more bakeware supplies (cookie sheet, muffin pans, etc. and a new can opener! Some of the dishes and cups were dirty and we had to clean them before we used them.

Big timber creek cabin
We went back and forth between 3 & 4 star. The actual cabin itself would have been 5 star. Love the feel of the log cabin in the woods, with fireplace & hot tub. But upon arrival all of our wood was wet (granted it had snowed a few days prior) so we were unable to enjoy the fireplace until I could go back to town and buy dry wood. The cleanliness was our main issue. We both work in healthcare and with the current Covid concerns we expected the cabin to feel cleaner. The coffee maker had old grinds, there was food on the oven that our dog finished cleaning. The dryer had old lint. The dryer was also non functional, which when we reached out, they were quick to get back and let us know they had known about the issue but forgot to mention it to us. They did refund us $100. But renting a cabin for 4 nights with just enough towels for the amount of renters makes it difficult when there is no ability to wash & dry. We love to travel and prefer to stay in vacation rentals, and for the price per night we found this location unfortunately lacking. While it was our choice to “travel during a pandemic” you except/hope to feel like the place you are lying your head had been cleaned to the best of its ability. We had very high hopes and I've rented through Carolina cabins before. But this stay just fell below our standards.

Big Timber Creek Cabin
The cabin itself was nice but not worth the price. The hot tub was not even used due to its location. In my opinion there should at the least be a wooden walkway to it but I would rather had seen it on the deck. The grill was nice but no light close enough to see how done my chicken was. The firewood was delivered a day late and I was charged for a double amount even though I only had one night left. To end on a positive note my younger son, who asked me to rent a cabin, loved the stuff geese and shotgun which he had to shoulder, sorry but no harm done. He brought his gun and intended to go grouse hunting but it did not work out.
