Tranquil Elegance, Secluded & Romantic-Luxury Retreat by Beautiful Creek
About this house rental
Located in Watauga, this attractive house for $444 per night is a fantastic option for your next vacation. THE ULTIMATE ROMANTIC GETAWAY BY THE CREEK - Come and see God's natural beauty displayed for your enjoyment! Secluded on a beautiful 20 acre tract in gated Leatherwood Mountains. A Luxury One Bedroom Log Cabin built by a local architect husband / wife team that put 3 years into building this beautiful log cabin. You will love the complete privacy of the surrounding wildlife and a year-round rocky creek you see from every room. Take note of the master bathroom! It is as if you are outside while relaxing in our jet tub or enjoying our rain shower. The outdoor salt water hot tub is great for a soothing massage while listening to the creek and sounds of the forest, without any harsh chemicals to irritate sensitive skin, so all can enjoy! The creek waterfalls are lit along the way so you can enjoy the sights and sounds of the creek even in the evening. (The light switch for the nighttime creek lights is inside the master bathroom... and you can shut it off when you like.) The property comes alive at night! The hammock trail is also lit, along with the moonshine still. :o) Brand new deck has just been completed that overlooks the creek. Great place for morning coffee or a glass of wine in the evening. We have a fireplace (during cold winter months) and are allowed 2 armfuls of wood. We advise to stop by Walmart or Lowes Hardware (or any store that sells bundles of wood) if you are a lover of fires and intend on using more than the allowable amount. We do ask that you do NOT bring any "DURAFLAME" or similar products to be used in the fireplace. Please use wood only. The waxy buildup from these products is horrible on our chimney and can actually cause chimney fires. Please do not bring any liquid flame starter to the cabin to be used in the fireplace. Bring newspaper for starting fires please. You will want to bring extra wood anyway so that you can enjoy the new fire pit we just built. It is a great place to sit and relax, and enjoy nature! This is a perfect sanctuary to celebrate your special day or just de-stress your busy life. A place to feel close to God and enjoy His majestic creation! It is an ideal place for your special celebrations, honeymoon, anniversary or just a romantic getaway. Creekside Cabin is built within a private equestrian development known as Leatherwood Mountains, located close to Blue Ridge Parkway, Boone, Blowing Rock and Wilkesboro. Visit CreeksidecabinNC com for more information about our cabin and some cool videos as well. ** SOMETHING TO POINT OUT ** At time of booking, if you choose not to do the $59 insurance policy, VRBO will charge you the maximum amount of $1500 refundable deposit. (Their policy, not ours) Just wanted to prepare you for that large refundable deposit if you choose not to do the insurance policy. Activities: Good fishing at Elk Creek (License Required), Community Tennis Court & Swimming Pool(summer), Wilkesboro YMCA -Good GYM- on NC268, about 20 miles from Leatherwood. My favorite things to do is take a scenic drive through Blue Ridge Parkway stop at several beautiful spots for picnic and leisurely stroll along easy trails or hike to waterfalls. Grandfather Mountain is a well known spot along the Parkway. You can go to Blowing Rock, a small resort town with nice shops and restaurants about 25 miles away. You can do white water rafting, canoeing or zip line adventure though the outfitters in Boone. There are many miles of horse back trail rides through Leatherwood Mountains stable or other stables in Boone area. There are several wineries to explore in the nearby areas. Most of our guests just want to stay around the cabin and relax in the private mountain setting. Bring groceries because I bet you will feel the same way!

A little piece of heaven. I can’t say enough how beautiful and peaceful this place is. If you like to be around nature but still with comfort this is the place. The cabin is very Unique. Great for pictures too. You can hear the sound of the rushing creek from every room in the cabin. This was our second time here. Already planning to come back again.

A beautiful cabin, on a beautiful property, with clean, comfortable, and convenient fixtures and amenities. We stayed for our honeymoon last year, and love it so much we came back for our first wedding anniversary. Everything was just as amazing as we’d remembered!

Had a wonderful time staying at the cabin!! Me and my wife got engaged there back in January 2021. We got married a year ago, and we were excited to return to the cabin for our one year anniversary! It was just as amazing this time as the last. So glad that we got to enjoy this beautiful place again :)

This property is secluded, and sits in a breathtaking natural spot. The notched log main areas and bedroom quarters are very well built, with impressive rock masonry throughout. I appreciated the architecture and antiques, and my wife was a big fan of the huge, super-comfy bed, and the wonderfully unique master bath/en suite. In this case, you truly do get what you pay for. The owners are great, and are concerned that you have a wonderful stay. Thanks Vickie and AJ for being willing to share this wonderful property.

Creek side cabin was the most lovely place to spend a few nights rekindling our relationship. The old time charm was simply delightful and we would love to go back in time again soon!

This property is one of if not the best one I’ve ever stayed at. Every detail has been paid attention to and the house lets you enjoy the nature around it without having to step outside!

What a wonderful place to escape to. So cozy and nestled away, but not too far to venture out to Boone, Blowing Rock, or North Wilkesboro. Very well appointed and an antique collector's dream

The cabin and property exceeded our expectations! The master bedroom and bath were spectacular. We enjoyed the fire pit and hot tub at night and loved how the property lit up, it was magic! The back porch was perfect for morning coffee and playing games and reading in the afternoons. We haven’t been so relaxed in years! We are already dreaming of coming back!

My husband and I love the property and cabin. We have stayed before at this cabin and now under the new ownership love the new little updates that have been made. This is a beautiful private location. We had a wonderful time just celebrated our 40th wedding anniversary, love to come any chance to get away and recharge in the beautiful quiet surroundings!

Wonderful private getaway, and perfect place to unplug, restore and refresh. We loved the privacy, the hiking trails, and spending the evenings along side the creek.
Communication with the owners was great. Checkin/checkout a breeze.

The house was PERFECT. One of the best, if not THE best house, I’ve booked on vrbo. Very well kept and clean. It looks beautiful both day and night.

Even better than we imagined, and we already want to go back! A beautiful, private, well-appointed, luxurious getaway tucked into the mountains.
Access is through a quiet, gated community (with hilly but paved roads), but the home is on a private street and private land, with your own private creek view and mountain hiking trail... We didn't see a single person the whole time!
The location is definitely remote, with no cell service but good wifi, so plan and pack accordingly. It's not a close or easy drive to anything. But, the house is well-stocked, and the owners provide an excellent welcome email with all the details you'll need... There was a technical issue where we didn't receive the email in advance, but they corrected it right away.
The master bathroom is definitely the highlight, with the creekside hot tub with "magic lights" not far behind. Everything worked as expected, and I can't think of anything I'd really change, except maybe for less rain during our stay :) Shh, don't tell your friends, you'll want to keep this secret getaway all to yourself!

Amazing in every relaxing sense
PERFECT for couples wanting secluded alone time. Perfect to connect with the one you love and let all of your stress go. We were able to completely relax and enjoy each other. AJ and Vickie have literally thought of everything for this cabin to enhance your connecting experience with your love. If I could give it 11 stars out of 5 I would! Absolutely perfect… we even started the trip with a little adventure. A tree was down over the road leading down to the cabin… we made the best of it, parked the car and walked our groceries and luggage down the hill and came back up (great workout! Lol) This is where caring and customer service came into play. On a holiday weekend, they had their son who lives nearby come by like 30 min after we told them about the tree… he came out and removed it!! It set our minds at ease and we were able to begin relaxing. I feel like that was a bonus and going out of their way to remove that tree so quickly. Thank you so much for everything!!! AMAZING RELAXING STAY!

Simply Perfect
We went for our honeymoon. It was the perfect environment for us. After being around many people at our wedding, it was nice to not see anyone for SIX WHOLE DAYS! The owners keep the cabin clean and running smooth. There are little “old” gadgets around the cabin as decor. We are two teachers, so we were big fans of these. During night, with the creek lights on, it was incredible to relax and refresh before we start on our new journey as spouses.

Great anniversary get-away!
This house structure is so unique, the decorating style is perfect for it, and the physical location is beautiful. The decorating style is “Cracker Barrel” and we really enjoyed looking at all of the “old” items in the house. Do not miss the 1927 Sears Catalog! Take some time to thumb through it and look at the options and the prices! We enjoyed sitting on the porches and listening to the creek. Be sure to turn on the creek lights at night! Also, don’t miss the purple soffit lights in the bedroom!!! If you are up for it, follow the trail past the gazebo and hike up the trail (hiking boots recommended). The hot tub is wonderful! As others have said, bring all of your food with you because it’s a long way to go out and come back. It’s very quiet and peaceful, but we did have 1 surprise (local) visitor who was looking for the owners. Vickie rapidly replied to every message we sent and was so helpful with the whole process of making our first vrbo rental a positive experience.

Great Cabin for Two
We had a great time staying at this cabin by the creek. The owners really paid attention to detail throughout the inside and outside of the property. Very relaxing, very chill, and private. We had zero safety concerns being in the woods considering it was within a resort community. Would definitely stay again.

Resort/Spa experience
Outstanding! The property is absolutely beautiful. Cleanliness was superb. It felt like a stay at a high-level resort: lots of clean towels, robes, soap. Very private. The experience was commensurate with the price paid. Highly recommended!

Peaceful Seclusion
My wife and I stayed here for a long weekend, the cabin was great, the setting was beautiful, you can hear and watch the creek babbling by throughout the day, the lighting at night was quite cool. Not too far from Blowing Rock (probably about 45 minutes), if you do want to get out but I could easily have stayed there for the whole weekend without leaving. Highly recommend!

Look no further! This is pure perfection!
If you are looking for a true peaceful retreat, this is it! From the calming creek, hammock trail, secret picnic gazebo to the hottub, one of a kind stone shower, and just all around beauty.....we did not want to leave. No detail was left unturned. Thank you for the memories and we are ready to make reservations for next year. Stunning!!!
