We absolutely loved our stay here. The location was perfection. It is right in town, however had a very secluded feel to the home. Especially in the back yard. There was a small park very, very nearby, the little kids loved this! Our downstairs fireplace did not work during our stay, no biggie, we didn't need it. Also, there are no photos of the bathrooms, but they are nice. and the kitchen is located upstairs. We thought this would be a pain, but again it wasn't a big deal. We would definitely stay here again!!
Property was as described. We really enjoyed the creek side location and hot tub. Plenty of space for our family. Really enjoyed our stay and would return to this rental.
The cabin was very clean, comfortable and spacious. The kitchen was fully stocked for cooking and grilling. The views off the creek were great and we enjoyed listening to the calming waters each day. Would highly recommend staying there if visiting Maggie Valley and the Smokies.
Great weather and even better location. The house has everything needed for a comfortable and relaxing motorcycle trip. Plenty of parking for a truck, trailer and a carport to keep the motorcycles covered and protected.
Very clean and comfortable. The house was well stocked. The hot tub and fire pit were pluses. Loved listening to the sounds of the creek. Only disappointment was the inability to fish in the creek from the backyard.
We loved our stay. The house was centrally located to the places we wanted to visit while we were on vacation. We loved the creek behind the property along with the fire pit. We used the fire pit the first night and made smores. We also used the grill on July 4th. We would highly recommend this property for any small family looking for a vacation home while visiting western Carolina.
We really enjoyed our stay and just wish we had more time! This home is very conveniently located and while it is beside a golf course, it is very private and peaceful. The sounds of the creek drowned out any road or golf noise. The home was well equipped with everything we needed and had plenty of space for the 5 of us. The home was approved by the adults, teens, and kids! Just note that there is one bedroom upstairs and two downstairs and all bedrooms have direct access to the outside...if you are traveling with small children that could be an issue.
This vacation home overlooks a golf course in the front, and a fabulous creek with shade trees in the back. A few reviewers have commented that it wasn’t isolated enough for them, however this certainly was not the case for us. We appreciated the very easy access to the highway along with the covered parking. This is a great home for families or couples vacationing together. The kitchen is on the second floor, and the stairs leading to it are rather steep and narrow. It is probably not the best property for older travelers with hip or knee issues. The small kitchen was well stocked. We enjoyed our stay.
House is more than enough. You are at the middle of river!
Our kids enjoy so much the water sounds.
Everytime I came out I felt to sleep and that's what we needed.
All 5 stars and I will be back.
Only thing I would recommend is to check rails at top deck.
Multiple spindles were lose and small kid could push and fall.
I will strongly suggest that's check for everyone well being.
I recommend this place to anyone.
Thank you for renting it to us.

We have stayed in many vacation rentals in Western North Carolina over the past 15 years. On this trip, we stayed at Creekside Haven for ten days. The property was marketed as a higher-end property (pics and descriptions) , but we found it to be more mid-tier quality.
The setting is outstanding, though the landscaping is perhaps not as well maintained as the pics imply (e.g., flowerbeds not well kept and brush pile along the creek). The outdoor furniture by the firepit is in need of a good cleaning and re-stain. IMO, a property of this price level should offer a propane grill versus just the small charcoal currently provided.
The interior has a very odd layout. The downstairs includes a small (or so it seemed with the king bed and luggage in it), a very small bedroom, small bath w/shower, a dining room, and a living room. The upstairs has a small bedroom (or so it seemed with the king bed and luggage in it), a very small bath, a kitchen, dining, and living room. The stairwell between the two levels is narrow and a little steeper than the normal staircase, IMO. We spent several evenings on the balcony off the upstairs bedroom, enjoying the view and sounds of Jonathan Creek.
The cookware, utensils, and dinnerware are old and a mix of styles and brands. We found only one skillet suitable for preparing bacon and eggs. There were only two wine glasses or highball glasses in the cabinet, so we purchased a couple of wine and highball glasses, which were left for future guests.
The property is described as motorcycle friendly. While it is not unfriendly, it is not ideal for multiple bikes. The listing described the driveway as paved, but it is not. The ~40' driveway is loose gravel, making it unstable for maneuvering heavy touring motorcycles. The carport can fit 3-4 bikes if you can use the driveway for a turnaround area. With one bike, I was able to turn the bike around mostly within the paved area of the carport.
I spoke with the property management company several times during our stay and found them to be very friendly and responsive.
Some may read this review and consider it too critical, thus my framing of the review as being unmet expectations and giving an overall rating of 4 on a scale of 5. The comments are intended to help others better understand what they are purchasing and help the owners/property management company make some improvements to better meet future guest's expectations.
Thank you.
Loved this property and plan to stay again next year for the holidays! We have been coming to Maggie Valley & Waynesville for many years and this cabin is by far one of the best places we've ever stayed. Kitchen was perfectly stocked for cooking a big holiday meal, amenities were fantastic, the beds were comfortable, the living spaces well decorated and enjoyable, and the proximity to everything we like to do was perfect! Easy to find, near lots of restaurants and attractions. Would highly recommend!
Stay was great! Creek behind the house is so soothing and relaxing; sitting out there around the fire pit was wonderful. The house was clean and the kitchen was well stocked. Liked very much the upstairs, downstairs option that this house offered- great for couples.
Great property on the creek. Would rent again.
Description should include that fishing and wading in the creek is not permitted on the property.

Great view, walk for creek access
We had a lot of fun, but we were immediately caught off guard by creek restrictions and the fact this is in a golf course and not secluded. When you are in the back on the creek it does feel more private. Creek access for fishing and creek play for kids can only occur upstream by about 50yrds. Apparently neighbor across the stream is picky about his property (which is the creek) and liability. Otherwise the community is unique and short drives to most items in need. . Creek setting is beautiful and oddly very loud. Great for a nap!
Home was very clean and accommodating for the most part. Loved the creek in the back of the home. Very relaxing!
Bathrooms could use some updating. We were a little nervous to use the down stairs shower due to some deficiencies. Other than that it was a really nice stay.
We enjoyed our stay very much!! It was so great having the creek right outside the house and fire pit area. The house was in close proximity to the main road and things we did. It wasn’t as secluded as we normally get but we had no trouble with noises or people. Our stay was enjoyed and we will be traveling again in the future!
