What guests say about Creekside Waterview
This was an amazing place to stay!! The home was private and the setting was serene. In a market where many young people are buying homes, filling them with crap from Target and Walmart and portraying them as "luxury", this was the real thing!! The furnishings were beautiful and the decorations were very nice. We've stayed at over 30 airbnbs, and this place set a new standard for us. I would love to stay again.
My family and I had such a wonderful stay at this beautiful home in North Carolina. The location near the creek was peaceful and serene—perfect for a relaxing getaway. We spent so much time on the deck just enjoying the wonderful sound of the water. The house was spotless and well cared for, with everything we needed. Even lots of useful baby items (high chair, baby bath seat, baby spoons, etc…) that was a huge plus for us with a 7 month old. The host was kind, responsive, and easy to communicate with. Check in was super easy and host was very informative on how to get there, how to get in, and things to do near by. Highly recommend!
We stayed with Damien last year at his Creekside Hideout property and were caught by Hurricane Helene on the last day of our trip (also an amazing property). I cannot say enough about Damien and his response to questions or concerns. He truly wants you to relax and enjoy your vacation. I mentioned having a Keurig coffee maker and magnifying mirror in my last review, and they were both there for me on this visit. I was just blown away. This place is very private. Total seclusion. When you are at the house connected to Starlink the reception is perfect. However, any cell service other than Verizon, may struggle until you get closer to town. I anticipated this, and saved offline maps to the locations we needed to see. It is an incredibly beautiful property. I will definitely return. The creek was beautiful. It has multiple waterfalls. The roar of the water might compete with the sounds of forest animals so be attentive to pets and children. A Thermacell kept the bugs away. 춘우(Choon Woo) 이(Lee) 5/5 April 21, 2025 즐거운 여행을 편안하게 할수 있었습니다. 춘우(Choon Woo) 이(Lee) 5/5 March 23, 2025 모든것이 완벽하였습니다. 친절한 배려에 너무 감사드립니다. 다음에 다시한번더 찿고싶습니다 . 감사합니다.
There is so much I can say about this Airbnb, but I will keep it short and sweet like our one night last minute stay was. I booked the place last minute with a few of my friends and all of our kids. We grew up together and it is extremely hard for all of us to get together much less with all of our children. We felt so welcome in the home and they really put a lot of effort in into making the place accommodating as well as beautiful. The outdoor scenery and the sound of the water flowing is unmatched. The house were extremely communicative and ever so kind. We will definitely be back and recommend this spot to anyone we know coming into town.
Beautiful, clean and comfortable home. We will definitely book again when we are in the area. Damien was very responsive, and home was as described.
My family spent Thanksgiving at Damien’s place and it was so relaxing and peaceful. Damien is incredibly helpful and responsive to messages and his home was beautiful, clean, and cozy. I would highly recommend any home Damien has to offer.
We stayed here for a motorcycle trip and it was a great place to stay. Well maintained and had everything we needed. I would highly recommend this place to anyone.
Creekside Waterview was an amazing place to stay! It was so beautiful and peaceful on the outside and so clean and spacious on the inside! Damien is very friendly and responsive! We would definitely come back!
Damien is a great host!! This is my third stay at his properties. i will continues to book with him whenever possible.
We had a great stay at Damien's home. The home was spacious and cozy. The home had everything we needed and included bathroom essentials. Damien gave a lot of helpful information ahead of time with recommendations for.places to visit in Franklin and options for groceries. Damien was very responsive and accommodating. We hope to return another time and enjoy longer.
My family and I really enjoyed staying at this Airbnb! The deck and the creek were our favorite parts about the property. Damien is an excellent host. He’s quick to respond to messages and provides plenty of information for guests about the rental. This is the perfect place to stay whether it be for a quick weekend getaway or a lengthier trip.
Damien is an excellent host!! This is the second property of his that I have rented. The place is just great and would be perfect for a large group of family. It was great for me all by myself as well. Can’t wait to stay here again!!
