Creekside Cabin + Fire Pit | 10 Min to DT

This creekside mountain cabin is built for relaxing, reconnecting, and enjoying the outdoors—whether you're sipping coffee on the deck, unwinding in the gazebo, or ending the night around the fire pit by the stream. Tucked in a quiet wooded setting, you get the feeling of being away from it all while still being just minutes from town.

The home comfortably sleeps up to 6 guests with three bedrooms, including two queen beds and a third bedroom with a full and twin trundle, making it ideal for families or flexible group stays. There are also two full bathrooms for added convenience.

Designed with groups in mind, the cabin offers two separate living areas so everyone has space to spread out and relax. The main living room features cozy seating and a fireplace, while the second living space provides additional room for hanging out or unwinding. A smart TV is available for streaming your favorite shows and movies.

A rare bonus, this home includes two full kitchens stocked with essential cookware and basics, making it easy to prepare meals, host, or split space between groups. The dining area offers peaceful views of the surrounding trees, enhancing the mountain experience.

The outdoor setup is what truly sets this property apart. A private creek runs through the backyard, creating a peaceful natural setting, while the fire pit by the stream is perfect for evenings under the trees. A covered deck with seating provides a great spot for morning coffee or rainy days, and the heated, lit gazebo allows for year-round enjoyment.

Located just 10 minutes from downtown Waynesville and approximately 30 minutes from Asheville, the cabin offers quick access to the Blue Ridge Parkway and nearby hiking trails. You’ll enjoy the perfect balance of privacy and convenience—close to everything, yet tucked away enough to fully unwind.

This is a mountain cabin, not a luxury property—clean, comfortable, and focused on the experience. The natural terrain, wooded surroundings, and flowing creek are all part of the setting, making it best suited for guests looking for a quiet, laid-back stay.
Make yourself comfortable in this air-conditioned vacation home, which features a fireplace. There's a private patio. A kitchen is outfitted with a refrigerator, an oven, and a stovetop. Conveniences include a microwave and a coffee/tea maker.
