A small cottage in the trees along a Scenic Byway in Nantahala National Forest. One bedroom, one bath, sleeping three — with the National Forest starting at the property line and Franklin twelve minutes down the road.

The cottage

One bedroom, one bath. A queen bed in the bedroom and a sofa bed in the living room, so the cottage sleeps three. It is a byway, so riders come through during the day — heavy insulation keeps it quiet inside.

The water

The rushing creek is a short walk off the deck, and you hear it any time you are outside. A little creek trickles past the back door.

The forest

Nantahala National Forest starts at the property line. The cottage sits along a Scenic Byway, surrounded by trees.

The town

Franklin is twelve minutes away, with supermarkets, shops, cafes, breweries, an arcade and a movie theater. The town is known for hiking, fishing, gem mining and mountain scenery year round.

What guests say about Creekside Cottage

If you are looking for the highest quality, look no further! Curated with so much care in every way. Damian thought of everything. Fully stocked kitchen and bathroom, quality linens that feel luxury. A very thoughtful expression of hospitality with wine and chocolate. With so many vacation rentals to choose from -THIS IS THE ONE. Be prepared to extend your stay. Perfectly situated near the creek, just a short drive up to Wayah Bald lookout tower, a beautiful scenic drive up to Natahala lake, trails in abundance, short 10 minute drive into the town of Franklin.
