About this property

Chalet at Peek's Creek

  • Summary:

    Chalet at Peek's Creek



    The Space:

    Escape to nature at this cozy, A-frame cabin located on a private, wooded lot right between the towns of Franklin and Highlands. Here, you'll also be conveniently close to hiking and biking trails, waterfalls, and the Cullasaja River for fishing, wading, and tubing.



    Inside this sunlit, three-story retreat, you'll find a well-equipped, full kitchen to help you prepare everything from your morning coffee to elaborate dinners. Dine together at the adjacent table with seating for up to six guests, and then gather in the living area to stream your favorite channels on the Roku-equipped TV.



    Take in amazing views through the east-facing windows across the valley towards the Cullasaja Gorge or head outside to relax or dine on the wraparound deck accompanied by the peaceful sounds of Peek's Creek right across the street. The property is surrounded by native plants and flowering trees, and you'll also find a flat, grassy area for outdoor games.

Cozy cabin in a quaint location

The cabin was the perfect size for my girlfriend and I, though it would have been great for a family as well. The location was tucked away nicely, but close enough to Franklin that anything we needed was nearby. We would love to come here again!

Wonderful cabin, wonderful area

We loved staying at the Chalet. The cabin was spacious and clean, with plenty of space to be together, or to have quiet time/privacy. The location was great; we felt secluded, but safe. So many beautiful lookout points, trails, hikes, and GEM MINES! Highly recommend.

Perfect for our stay.

We wanted to experience Highlands and the surrounding areas on a budget. This Chalet allowed us to afford our stay and was also perfectly placed along the road to and from Highlands for hikes, waterfalls, and fishing. We will be back to Peek's Creek very soon!

Perfect place for my solo trip!

The location was awesome overlooking Peeks Creek with some good Mountain Views. Felt private & secluded without sacrificing convenience of paved roads and nearby Highlands Rd. Loved the windows in the great room, gas fireplace/stove & covered parking. Thank you!

A great getaway house in Franklin NC

The Chalet at Peeks Creek was beautiful and in a nice secluded location not far from the main road. 10 min. to downtown Frankiln, grocery store, waterfalls and gem mines. It had a warm cozy feel from the second we arrived that lasted until we left. Would have stayed longer and will do so next time.

Mountain Retreat

We really enjoyed the chalet! It was very clean, the kitchen had everything we could possibly need, and the deck overlooking the forest and mountains was really pleasant. We felt very comfortable, during our two week stay. The only suggestion for improvement would be adding a handle to the outside of the slider, to make it less difficult to open.

Clean and accommodating!

When you first walk in you’re facing a wall of windows that opens up to a beautiful outside wrap around porch that is great! This stay was great and if I ever need to stay in the area again I will know where I will be! Thank you for a clean and welcoming home! (:

Cutest cabin with beautiful view

The driveway was a little hard to find in the dark, but once we found it the cabin was perfect. Our kids loved having their own little loft and beds. The fireplace made for a perfect place to settle in after a long days play on the snow tubing hills. They had coffee for the coffee maker to get us started for a few days and soap in the shower. The morning view from the porch was perfect. Would definitely come and stay again.

Great home, if you prefer larger towels and additional wash clothes, bring your own. However, they do have a washer and dryer. I just didn’t want to spend vacation doing laundry. 🙂 We loved the area, very quiet and everyone we encountered was kind. The three stories made it fun for our child. Thanks for a great week in WNC!

Beautiful Views and a bad bed

There was not a bad view from any of the property. The chalet is beautifully situated on the property between three mountain tops. It would have been a perfect rip had there been enough linens for our guests (without sleeping adult sisters in the same bed) and a comfortable bed for us on the lowest level. The king bed on the lower floor is past its use-by date and should be replaced. We referred to it as the marshmallow or the hammock. If you can avoid using the lower level for sleeping this is a very nice location.

Chalet in misty mountais

The house was great. 9 minutes to Franklin and 21 minutes to Highlands. Several waterfalls between house and Highlands. The view from front porch was great. There are two streams accessible by short walks. My dog and I enjoyed the wild turkeys that we saw in the mornings. The spiral staircases were a little tight. The one to the basement bedroom and bath were tight, but there is an entrance from outside. It made walking the dog and carrying in luggage easier. You would not know you were in the basement. Windows everywhere. The master is on the maintenance floor and twin beds in the stand up loft. Save those for the kids. Grill was great. Very quiet and no car noises when sitting outside.
