What our guests have to say

Great stay here in the Nantahala Forest. Very comfortable and updated cabin. The owner obviously put a lot of time and effort to make the cabin as user friendly as possible. Some examples include providing blankets in the living room and towels for the hot tub. Damian was super communicative and went above and beyond to make our stay enjoyable. Lots of great activities close by for those who enjoy the outdoors.

Damien was an absolutely fantastic host. In all my years of staying at Airbnbs, I’ve never had a host who was more responsive, accommodating, or genuinely committed to making our stay enjoyable. The property itself is absolutely beautiful. Two creeks come together just behind the deck, and the peaceful sound of the flowing water instantly melts away the stress of everyday life. It’s the kind of place where you can truly relax and unwind. The home really sells itself, but Damien’s thoughtfulness and exceptional hospitality take the experience to another level. He went above and beyond to make sure we had everything we needed and addressed even the smallest issues quickly and graciously. We couldn’t have asked for a better stay and will absolutely be back. Highly recommend this property to anyone looking for a peaceful getaway with an outstanding host.

A beautiful cabin on two gorgeous mountain streams. Nicely furnished and comfortable. Access to the streams was unfortunately quite difficult due to retaining walls.

Damien was an excellent host from the very first communication. His home was beautiful and well equipped, in a truly unique setting. There is plenty to do…and ample opportunity to relax. I was sorry to see our stay end, we could have easily stayed longer.

We had such a wonderful stay at Creekside Waterview. The house was peaceful, cozy, and surrounded by beautiful nature, the perfect place to slow down and relax. The creek views were especially beautiful, and we loved how quiet and calming the whole property felt. Damien was an incredibly thoughtful and communicative host. You can tell he genuinely cares about creating a great experience for his guests, and all the little details throughout the stay reflected that. The home was clean, comfortable, dog-friendly, and had everything we needed. One thing I especially loved was seeing all the dog pictures around the house. It made the space feel genuinely welcoming to dogs and not just “pet allowed.” As someone traveling with my own dogs, that made me feel very comfortable and at home during our stay. We would absolutely stay again and highly recommend it to anyone looking for a relaxing mountain getaway!

Hosting has been our full-time work since 2021

Our personal approach is what sets us apart. We've actually lived in each of our properties — long enough to learn where the light is best in the morning, which chair everyone fights over, and what you always wish you'd packed.

That's why the spice rack is stocked, the Wi-Fi holds up to a work call, and someone answers when you message.
