Luxurious Mountain Retreat for the Discerning Traveler

The beauty and serenity of the western North Carolina Mountains never fails to fill visitors with joy and peace. We purchased our own three acres of heaven and built a luxurious Guest House so we can share the mountain experience with you.

The Guest House sleeps 4 with two queen beds. The house has been designed for maximum relaxation and pampering. Situated on the bold creek that runs through the property, every room opens onto a 46’ covered deck that overlooks the creek. You can open large sliding glass doors to let the relaxing sound of the creek fill the house or wander out onto the deck to enjoy the fresh mountain air and sunshine.

Careful consideration went into every aspect of our Guest House accommodations. There are two comfortable master bedroom suites with inviting private baths. Relax in the central great-room in front of an evening fire. The gourmet kitchen with cherry cabinets, stainless steel appliances and granite countertops is a weekend chef’s delight!

We have furnished and outfitted the Guest House to please even the most discerning traveler. You will enjoy comfortable queen beds with smooth linens and full pillows. Large ensuite baths with soft towels and complimentary soaps and shampoos. The kitchen is fully equipped with everything you need to make a romantic dinner, hearty breakfast or picnic lunch to take on a hike. The living room has comfortable seating in front of a wood-burning fireplace and large, Smart TV. Out on the deck, there are relaxing rockers where you can put your feet up and enjoy a good book. For summer nights, there is a great fire pit situated in a bend of the creek.

While The Guest House offers a peaceful and private retreat, it is close to everything that makes western North Carolina so appealing as a vacation getaway. Outdoor adventures abound. Take an invigorating hike or rafting trip, a leisurely walk around Lake Junaluska or experience zip-lining through the scenic forest. Enjoy casual or upscale dining and delightful shopping in charming downtown Waynesville, just five minutes away. Drive 30 minutes to Asheville for more dining and shopping opportunities or to visit the always incredible Biltmore Estate.

The house is easily accessible and available year-round. We invite you to relax and re-energize at our North Carolina Guest House. We’re sure you will fall in love with the magic of these glorious mountains!

Hidden Treasure
Stayed at many VRBO properties around the world. This is one of the most peaceful and relaxing of them all! The property is very clean, well equipped with EVERYTHING you need to relax and enjoy the creek and property. Perfectly located to hiking, shopping, exploring and just plain relaxing. Peg, the property manager is awesome and has great communication with us. Too many good things to say in one paragraph. I WILL visit this property again. You will not be disappointed at all with this HIDDEN TREASURE in the Mountains.

Woodland & Creek Oasis
Wonderful visit to the North Carolina Mountains The cabin was clean & tidy and cozily furnished. My girlfriend, doggy & I all enjoyed every moment on the property. The highlight was definitely having breakfast & dinners on the back porch area with the babbling creek just maybe 20 or so feet away

The description of the rental was on point. Loved it. No smells and was like new. The mountain stream was nice even though it was too cold outside to enjoy sitting on the porch. Hope to visit again.

Perfect place
We could not have been happier with our stay. The guest house was very comfortable and the location can't be beat. The location was very convenient for going into town, and heading out for day trips and hikes along the Blue Ridge Parkway. Sitting on the screen porch along side the creek was so relaxing.

A Little Piece Of Heaven
Could not have ask for a nicer place to vacation nor a nicer property manager! Peg and her husband were the best! This place was so comfortable in every way. The large porch had a secure railing around making it nice for you and your pets to be able to enjoy the outside. Step outback to a fairly private backyard with a beautiful babbling creek! The sound was so restful, making for a totally relaxing and romantic evening! Lots to see and do, great places to eat! All within a very short driving distance. Can’t go wrong with this unit!

Cousin’s get away
This property had everything we wanted/needed for our mini retreat before the craziness and demands begin with the upcoming holidays. From our Downtown adventure to Day Trip to Gatlinburg/Pigeon Forge, we couldn’t have asked for a better location & properly - listening to the running brook added to our serenity. Looking forward to many more trips in the future.

Perfect getaway
This lovely property on a creek was far enough away from the crowd and the lights of the city that my husband and I could watch the stars while sitting around a fire in the fire pit. Close enough to the Blue Ridge Pkwy , the Smokey Mountain National Park and the great little town of Waynesville .
