The extra touches were not wasted on us. Looking forward to our next trip in the spring.

We had the best stay at Damien’s creekside villa in Franklin. Communication was clear, consistent, and helpful. The villa was welcoming as soon as we stepped foot inside the door and the extras and special little touches were unmatched. The property is absolutely beautiful and we felt lucky to capture its beauty in both sunshine and snow. Damien provides everything you need and more. The villa is located 5-10 minutes from anything you need and is just up the road from a well maintained park along the creek. We loved running laps and our kids loved the playground. We would absolutely encourage anyone viewing this listing to just end your search for a place to stay and book this property!
◆◆◆◆◆
We have stayed there multiple times. There is a reason for that. It is simply beautiful.
◆◆◆◆◆
We had an amazing stay at Damien’s Creekside Hideout! The house was beautiful, clean, and had everything we needed. The creek out back was absolutely awesome, peaceful and fun to explore. There’s so much to do nearby too, from hiking and waterfalls to great local restaurants. We even had the pleasure of meeting Damien for a quick minute, he’s incredibly nice and went above and beyond to make our stay comfortable. He provided a pack and play, baby bathtub, high chair, and even baby plates and utensils for our little one, which made traveling with an infant so much easier. Communication was great, and he was very responsive and helpful throughout our stay. Highly recommend this place, we’d absolutely stay again!
◆◆◆◆◆
The house and area were so peaceful, but with plenty to do to keep you entertained if needed. We hated to leave! highly recommend for anyone looking for a creekside/mountain getaway!
◆◆◆◆◆
Beautiful spot on the creek with wildlife and great walking areas. Very quiet.
◆◆◆◆◆
We had a wonderful stay and enjoyed the water very much! If I had any drawbacks, it was the traffic noise, as we live on 15 acres with no noise; however, after the first day, you heard nothing but the wonderful creek below. I would definitely stay here again. I could not have asked for a better host than Damien. Everything was absolutely top of the line! Thank you so very much for our visit and allowing our fur babies to enjoy the time with us; it meant the world to us! I actually caught a rainbow trout and a speckled brown trout; a first for me. Thank you again and again!
◆◆◆◆◆
We thoroughly enjoyed our time at Creekside! The house is beautiful and there is a shallow moving stream in the backyard that the kids loved to play in. We look forward to visiting again!
◆◆◆◆◆

◆◆◆◆◆
We loved the porch and playing in the creek. The house was in great condition and just as the listing described. During the summer the fireflies were fun to watch. The house is next to Hwy 64 so it's easy to travel to the surrounding towns.
◆◆◆◆◆
We highly enjoyed our stay. The kitchen is well stocked for cooking. We enjoyed the covered screened in porch, as it rained for much of our stay. The property is beautiful and in a great location. Damien is helpful and friendly and responded quickly. Overall this is one of the nicer Air Bnb's we have stayed in. We will definitely be back and stay at one of his properties in the future.
◆◆◆◆◆
The house was wonderful. We were able to fish in the creek in the backyard and catch a few trout. Very private. We had a wonderful time and enjoyed the house. Great host!
