Beautiful escape to the woods

My family and I rented this cabin for a long weekend and it was the perfect getaway. The cabin feels secluded and is set back from the road so our child and dog could play in the creek without worry. There are acres of trails to explore and the sounds of nature were so peaceful. Trips into Boone were easy and we had a great time. Would absolutely rent again.

Another great stay at Shady Creek!

This was our second year staying at Shady Creek and we were not disappointed! We had another relaxing and peaceful visit to the cabin. Our daughter and dog loved playing in the creek and exploring the property. Plus the new gazebo is a wonderful addition! We enjoyed sitting by the fire pit and listening to the creek.

Recommending to all my friends

Best small mountain cabin I have stayed in. It is perfect for an escape for 2 or a small family. This place is only 6 miles off a 4-lane highway and 1/4 from the main road. It feels like you are deep in the woods. The stream is perfect with water levels and flow to play in. The cabin has a ton of USB ports for modern families. Nice firepit, grill (gas), and hot tub. The kitchen had everything you need, even a coffee maker for 12 cup pots and/or Kcups. Nice washer and dryer. I have never stayed in the same cabin twice. This one I will.

Peace and Quiet!

Probably one of the top 3 places I’ve rented! If you are looking for peace and quiet and privacy to just chill, then this is the place for you! No neighbors in sight, barely any traffic noise ever, place was great to get away from the hustle bustle. House is well equipped and kids loved the creek and hot tub!

We had 11 nights from 08/05/23 at this excellent property

If you enjoy the outdoors, walking around a lovely garden, near to a lovely creek, sitting on the patio by the fire pit watching the stars then this place will take some beating. The property itself was also lovely, not huge but cost, very nicely finished and certainly very comfortable for us (2 adults and a small spaniel, who didn’t want to leave). We had a couple of issues, but they were dealt with without fuss. We shall definitely be back, simply a beautiful place.

This place is amazing. I want to live here - for real....is it for sale?!!? If not I call dibs when it does!! Seriously great piece of property and cabin. The Gazebo was a nice feature. The creek was perfect for our dogs and myself to cool off in. Our 10 week old fell asleep every day sitting on one of our laps or her chair sitting listening to the creek and having the breeze hit her. I caught some native brook trout in the stream with my fly rod (they were returned to the water) and also ran into a baby fawn while doing so. We have shared the link to this place with several friends and encouraged them to book it. We will be back some day!!

Quiet oasis

We booked this trip for a quiet weekend with our dog and this property 100% delivered. The screened in porch and the sounds of the creek and birds made it the perfect stay in the middle of NC summer. Our guest contact was responsive and very helpful, keeping us updated on whether the creek was passable after some storms passed through. We also appreciated the quality appliances and fixtures. If you’re looking for a quiet, isolated, and comfortable getaway, this is the place to be!

Idyllic Mountain Cabin

Cabin was perfect. Very clean and well maintained inside and out. Cabin was delightfully secluded but still 20minutes items from restaurants and grocery stores. Morning coffee on the front porch listening to the creek and evenings on porch having cocktails. We went gem mining with our teenager at Emerald Hollow. Also, went into Blowing Rock and Boone. We would definitely love to return!

Honeymoon Getaway

My husband and I came here for our honeymoon and had a great time! The location is perfectly secluded with the sounds of wind and the river bear by. Night sky of stars easily visible. Hot tub, fir pit, and grill were available for use. I gave 4 stars for cleanliness just for the fact that we found a pillow in the closet with stains on it. Other than that the property was spotless. Would stay again !

New Year’s Eve Getaway

We had a fantastic time at this cabin! The cabin was clean and had all the amenities we needed for a long weekend getaway. Although, there was an issue with the hot tub when we arrived, the owner and team was very responsive and got it fixed on the last night of our stay, so our kids could enjoy! Our kids loved the creek and surrounding property to explore as well. We would definitely rent this cabin again! Myron

Beautiful Cabin with Everything You Need!

Our family had an amazing stay at Shady Creek!! Cabin was well stocked with everything you need. We loved the privacy and space for our daughter and dog to run around. They especially loved the creek! Plus, the cabin itself was beautiful and extremely clean with comfortable beds, which is key!! We will definitely stay again!

Beautiful little corner or the world!

Where do I start…the property is beautifully situated in a valley next to a creek. All you can hear is the water moving through the creek. We were there to spend time with our son at ASU, but if I had the opportunity I could sit on the porch or patio by the fire pit for days soaking in the surroundings! The house itself was clean, well-maintained and very thoughtfully appointed. The house smelled fresh and clean when we walked in. Beds were comfortable, bathroom was very clean (this is a big deal for my wife and this bathroom received her seal of approval), kitchen was clean and very well-stocked. Everything you need is there, from condiments to flashlights to rechargeable lanterns. There are motion-activated lights that guide your path outside at night and the lights by the patio are warm and inviting. As for the creek, the property listing cautions about crossing it during periods of heavy rain. I can say from our experience that even when rains are heavy and sustained, it can be crossed in a SUV. We stayed the weekend that the remnants of hurricane Ian passed through and we crossed back and forth across the creek without issue or concern the entire weekend. The owner is beyond accommodating, very responsive and welcoming. If you are looking for a mountain oasis, look no further. We will be returning soon!

Awesome Views

If you are looking for a cabin where the owners are very responsive, look no further. The cabin was great and the views were wonderful. I found the pots and pans in bad shape. I contacted them and in less than 12 hours, they had delivered a brand new set. I don't fault the owners for the state of the cookware. People need to learn to not use metal on non stick cookware. I suggested that the owner remove the metal cooking utensils and they said that they planned on it. They were so quick to respond and to fix the issue. We plan to stay there again!!
