Something we all need! Creekside is a tobacco free property located on 6 acres nestled in the Smoky Mountains of Western North Carolina alongside Drymans Creek. We have just one rental unit, so booking a stay at Creekside, you will be the only guest. It is 800 square feet all on one level from your car to the door with bath and shower one step up. The unit has been remodeled on the lower level of our home overlooking Drymans Creek with a view of the mountains and a horse pasture . It has a covered deck and private entrance. It is most private and quiet. Listen to the serene sounds of the crystal clear water rushing over the rocks, take in the mountain view from the deck with the creek below. Watch horses graze in the neighboring pasture. Walk the creek taking in natures splendor. You might like to pan for gold or hunt for arrow heads in the creek! Hike the many trails nearby. You will especially want to visit Pickens Nose a rock outcrop on top of the mountain and stand at 5200 ft and look into the valley below. The Appalachian trail is nearby and water falls abound. Our area has been the setting for Hollywood movies too! The original "Fugitive" was filmed nearby. The train wreck is still visible too! "Deliverance", "Last of the Mohicans". Most recently "3 Bill Boards Outside Ebbing Missouri" to mention a few. If you are an antique motorcycle enthusiast you'll want to visit "Wheels Through Time" motorcycle museum showcased on TV as the show "What's in the barn". There's so much to see and do you won't want to leave! Motorcycles are welcome with easy access from highway. We have covered parking for motorcycles if needed. Also in the event of a motorcycle break down, we have a trailer setup for transporting large touring bikes and a good shop to take it to.

Creekside was awesome!! It was a beautiful property inside and out! The inside was beautifully decorated, spacious, and everything we could possibly need was available. The kitchen was wonderful, bed was great, and the porch was probably our favorite. To sit together on the swing and just take in the beauty of the scenery and to hear the peaceful sounds of the creek was so relaxing and peaceful. Joseph was so kind to take us on a tour of the beautiful neighborhood but we were sorry we missed meeting Jocelyn. Again I can't emphasize enough that this was a perfectly wonderful stay with everything we needed and more! ##### Charles K.

We are quiet folks, and when we stay somewhere, a peaceful location is very important. We couldn’t have asked for a better place or location. The view of the mountain and the beautiful creek were exactly what we were hoping to find. We didn’t have time to enjoy the firepit, but I’m sure we will return and utilize it then. Everything was so clean and thoughtfully arranged. Everything we needed was provided. The notebook for guest information was perfect! We also enjoyed the information on places to eat. The furnishings were exactly right: a comfortable bed, comfy recliners, and a very well-equipped kitchen. Who could ask for more?While we didn’t have the opportunity to meet Joceline, we enjoyed our conversations with Joseph. Such a welcoming host!I’ve been coming to Franklin since the 1960’s, and I must say that I’ve never stayed in a more comfortable and welcoming place. We highly recommend Creekside!Thank you, Joseph and Joceline! ##### Jody B.

This is one of the best places in which we have ever stayed! The condo is wonderfully clean and has everything one needs for a cozy, comfortable get-away. The peace and serenity of Creekside is perfect for a respite from the new "normal". Joe and Jocelyn are wonderful hosts, giving as much (or as little) attention as needed. We were really happy with the sounds of the creek and the birds in the surrounding woods as well as with the sights of the horses playing in the field across the way, the chickens in their coop, the lovely garden and yard, and the sweet puppy Wally with his welcoming, waving tail and smiling face. We hope to visit again this wonderful mountain paradise. ##### Linda M.

From the moment we arrived to the day we (reluctantly) departed, Joe and Jocelyn made sure we were comfortable and had everything we could possibly need. While they were very gracious they remained unobtrusive. The property is secluded but still less than 20 minutes from downtown Franklin. From the porch there is a very pleasant view of a broad stream with horses pastured nearby. We ate every meal for 10 days on the porch soaking in the serenity and slept with the bedroom windows open listening to the stream. We are already planning our next visit. ##### MARK R.

We in enjoyed the quite landscape and babbling brook while relaxing on our shaded, totally comfortable, and secluded porch. John designed and built this lovely get away. We enjoyed the interior design too. It had everything we needed for our 3 day stay. The Highlands, NC was a beautiful short drive through the mountains. Where we spent a couple of shopping sprees. Our only negative comment: WiFi was iffy, but our host had mention that. He also told us that could change as the 21st century keeps getting closer to the remote corner of the state. ##### Mark Y.

Very clean and up to date accommodations away from the busyness of town, but not too far from some nice places to eat and shop. Joseph and Joceline made us feel welcome and respected our privacy, but was also around if we needed anything. They were very helpful with local information. Joseph took us up to Pickens Nose in his Jeep for a nice hike and some awesome pictures. We enjoyed the fresh eggs and blueberries they have available for us. Sitting by the creek and watching the horses was a relaxing way to spend some time. We ate most of our meals on the porch so we could listen to the creek. We really enjoyed the good conversation with Joseph and Joceline in the evening just visiting like old friends would do. This was our first experience with VRBO and we couldn't be more pleased. ##### Ron H.

Very clean and spacious bedroom/living/kitchen. Beautiful creek flowing in back of property you can see/hear from deck. Fire pit area which Joe was gracious to have set up and ready to go. Joe & Joceline are great hosts that are willing to provide local recommendations, location is close to multiple easy hikes with waterfalls, scenic view spots, and not far from restaurants/grocery if needed. As expected we did not have cell service but this was not problematic for us as internet connection was sufficient for Wi-Fi texting and simple email checking. Most areas around the surrounding mountains we found did not have sufficient service to call, but GPS was functional. ##### Ashleigh S.

We wanted a relaxing getaway and we found a private little bit of paradise. Joe and Joceline were amazing ! We arrived as it was getting dark and it was raining and Joe was there to greet us !! He showed us around and gave us all the info we needed. Exhausted we fell to bed and when we woke and saw the view outside … Wow! The porch view was hilly pasture , grazing horses, deer , a ground hog family , wild turkey and the bubbling creek and Mountain View … oh the sounds - creek, birds, and horses !!! All nestled on the beautiful 6 acres !! Joe and Joceline thought of every detail!! They had fresh eggs on the kitchen table for us, the kitchen was stocked with all you need , the cottage is warm and cozy with everything you need - for your stay and for any adventures you want to take ! Joe & Joceline have great knowledge of the area and both are so wonderful to talk too and just filled with warmth … best hosts ever !! We arrived as strangers and left as friends . The area is beautiful and there is so much to do within an hour drive but our greatest moments have been at the cottage and finding a new friend . Thank you Joe and Joceline for opening your home to us and your loving hospitality ! ##### Sonia A. Stayed 7 nights in May 2023
