June Dates OPEN! Play in creek! Birds, ducks, close to Pigeon Forge
About this cottage rental
Cottage by the Creek is an original 1930’s renovated farmhouse on Walden's Creek with our back porch only feet from it. The pictures are accurate in scale. The roads are flat and easy particularly in winter - no getting snowed in! It is private, peaceful and plenty of wildlife comes by early in the morning for a drink. The ducks come twice a day like clockwork. If you are up early, you may see the turkey family come by or "Granddaddy Long Legs", our resident blue heron. No matter the time of day, the birds are everywhere and we have feeders out for them for you to enjoy bird watching! The creek is shallow enough to wade, explore and hunt for crawdads and small fish and you can relax to the sound of a babbling brook right outside the back door. Yes, you can try to fish it in the deeper pools! We are pet friendly so bring your dog to enjoy the creek as much as you will. Of course, nighttime is beautiful with the firepit and the view of the stars; for those who love to camp, you will feel like you are camping under the stars in the woods...but your comfortable bed is just inside! The home itself is a farmhouse that was located years ago to this property and we have completely renovated it. It is cozy and as peaceful inside as it is outside. We have added large windows across the back to be able to see the view from both the back bedroom and the living/dining area. It feels like you are entering a secret cottage tucked away in the trees and yet, you are only minutes from Pigeon Forge at the Wears Valley/Parkway intersection. It could not be more convenient to the activities in the area. For example, the popular Island and Ferris wheel in Pigeon Forge is just 10 minutes from the home and the pool membership we have for guests at Honeysuckle Resort is just 10 minutes to the south in Wears Valley. The cottage is all one level so no stairs to deal with and we have a yard for the kids to play in. One important rule for the creek is nothing can be removed from the creek such as rocks, wildlife, etc. This area is protected by the National Forest Reserve. As a 2024 update, we have updated the couch and have added two comfy chairs that rock and swivel to the living room - pictures coming. We have a reverse osmosis water machine under the kitchen sink, so you have filtered water. The coffee pot will take both K-cups and regular coffee and we stock coffee and some tea there along with many spices for cooking in when you want to. For the kiddos, we have a foosball table in the back bedroom suite area, many books and movies and Playstation games, a TP tent and badminton set. So, for the days when you want to stay in and relax, you are set. We hope this cottage will delight our guests! It has been a lot of work and we feel like we should have a fixer upper show but it has been worth it to see the cottage literally come alive with the vision we had when we first walked in. Enjoy!

We had a wonderful stay. This was one of the cleanest houses we have stayed in. Nicely decorated, has everything you need. The location was perfect, very peaceful and quiet. Not far to town. Loved sitting on the porch listening to the water run. We had our dog with us and he loved the yard. Will definitely be back.

This place is amazing! From the creek right outside the door, to the beautiful decorations throughout the whole home, so peaceful and clean. Loved watching the birds and the heron, we hardly had the tv on due to all of the wildlife.
They have so many extras in case you forgot something, I was in awe. This was our BEST Vrbo rental hands down.
Thank you for sharing your paradise.

When you walked in it gave you a sense of home away from home. We could come in relax and enjoy each other’s company drinking hot chocolate and playing games. We loved to have all the comforts of home and not have to bring a lot with us. I would recommend this little piece of heaven to anyone. Thank you so much for decorating it so beautifully.

This was an awesome place inside and outside. The only thing wrong was it wasn’t cleaned at all I don’t think since the last people before us. There were dirty towels in the washer that I had to wash. The bathrooms had not been cleaned and I don’t think the floors had been swept. There were a few bugs dead in the floor. I can understand that if it had not had rentals in several days because of where it is. No roaches, just little water bugs. I almost didn’t write this, but I have been a business owner and as I use to tell my employees, if you don’t tell me things I can’t do anything about it. This place is to nice to lose renters because of cleaners. FYI the Christmas decorations done in the cabin were absolutely beautiful. I would stay there again, but if it wasn’t clean that time, I would never stay again.

The cottage was perfect for or family of four. Great location!!
5.0
Exactly what we were wanting. Very cozy by a stream and away from the madness of Pigeon Forge yet close enough to be in town in just a few minutes. It was lovely! The owners were so kind. Probably will never go back to the area but if we did we would definitely stay there.

Excellent location and home. Everything anyone would need. Loved the creek and ducks!

Two moms and two 13 year old girls quick getaway weekend. The house was perfect for us. Anything that we could have needed was there and the house was super clean. The girls loved sitting outside around the firepit in the evening and watching the ducks cruise around when we were home during the day.
The furniture was really comfortable. I have some pretty significant lower back issues and it's always a bit of a crapshoot when I stay someplace new, but I woke up in the morning feeling really good and not even a little sore. I'm not sure what mattresses they are using, but I kinda want the same one (back bedroom, king bed). It was awesome. Both the girls and other mom also had really good things to say about the beds. I know that this is a lot of words on a bed, but seriously, the beds were great.
The location was super central and convenient to Pigeon Forge and Gatlinburg.
I would 100% stay here again. We all just loved it.

As soon as we stepped into the house, we loved it. Very welcoming with great windows along the back of the house so we could see the gorgeous creek and birds. Loved the proximity to town with a far away feel.

Cottage is really cute and was spotless when we arrived. The beds are really comfortable especially the one in the big bedroom.
I like the location. It is close to everything in PF while tucked away by the creek.
Nice back porch. Cardinals aplenty

This place was better than we anticipated. The creek was perfect to cool down in, the kids played safely and got to see fish as well as so much other wildlife like deer, bears, skunk families, and so many birds! We got to feed the ducks every day which was so fun and peaceful. The house was comfortable and clean, beds were so comfy, and this place was stocked with everything you need to cook. The location is great. Only a short drive to get to anything. We will absolutely be back one day soon.

every thing went fine. a little problem with keeping the place cool to a temp we perfered. Needs a little more detail cleaning. None of this would stop me from staying there again.

A beautiful cottage with a wonderful back porch, sitting right on the river to help you undo wind from an active day in Pigeon Forge. Comes complete with most kitchen tools, and there are welcome baskets throughout in case you forgot some thing and don’t forget to sign the guestbook.

Cute cottage on the creek! The mini foosball table was a hit for our kids. We played many games to wind down in the evenings. It was myself, my husband, 8 year old, and 2 year old. The ducks frequented during the day and you can watch the fireflies at night! We didn’t use the fire pit because we were having 90 degree days, but the setup is awesome. Full kitchen with everything you would need, but we didn’t feel like cooking on vacation either. Check in and out was a breeze. It was only 5 minutes down the road to pigeon forge where we did all the attractions. Gatlinburg a little further. Overall, we were super happy with the location! Friends are already asking about where we stayed based off our pictures. Thanks for sharing your place with us! We enjoyed it

My husband and I had a wonderful anniversary trip at this wonderful house by the creek. So many beautiful birds, ducks and geese came to visit. Would definitely come back here. Also the bed slept like a dream.

If you want a nice quiet, peaceful place, then this is for you. Nice creek in the back with plenty of birds and ducks. The back porch is very nice and comfortable.

My husband and I had a wonderful time staying in this cottage -as well as our miniature Dachshund!! The cottage was quaint and had a very comfortable and relaxing feel to it. The cottage was very clean and inviting. We loved the location, as it was private and only a few miles from Pigeon Forge. You couldn't have asked for better weather. I think our favorite part of the cottage was the back porch with the creek being right there. That is where we spent the majority of our time. It was so beautiful and tranquil. We will most definitely stay in this same cottage again; we highly recommend it!!

This was our second year staying at Cottage On The Creek. It is such a sweet little house. This year it was just like last year. Clean and neat with everything just as advertised. It feels so away from everything but yet so close. We will book next year again. Our fur babies love it too!

We come to Tennessee several time a year and I can honestly say this is our new favorite place to stay. It’s close to everything. It’s so pretty and private. Very clean. The hosts were very responsive and great to work with. We will definitely be booking again in the future.

We loved this cottage! It was so cute and a great place to relax after exploring GSMNP. Our family doesn't like crowds so being able to escape to the relaxing country with a creek and birds was perfect for us!

Wow, we were impressed by the cleanliness! The bed in the master bathroom was so comfortable! The view of Walden Creek right in the back yard, it was soothing and the fresh air was great. There’s lots of kitchen utensils, pots, and pans. The washer and dryer were very convenient and they worked great. There’s nothing negative we can say about this property.

It’s our first time in Tennessee and we are in love with the cottage. We had a wonderful time. Everything was as listed, June and Rick went above and beyond. The cottage was amazingly clean by Steph and Keith. You just need food and clothes to have fun! They have the cottage very well equipped.
We will definitely be back. Thank you!

The cottage on the creek was everything I had hoped for! The cottage is beautiful and has everything that you need. The creek is wonderful and the wildlife is entertaining. We saw a deer, lots of ducks, a heron, and if you love cardinals, you will be in heaven! Not sure if they are seasonal to December but it was such a nice surprise! We thoroughly enjoyed our stay!
5.0
Just perfect! We watched ducks play in the creek, birds eating from the feeders and even had a visit from an eagle. All just feet from the back door! The charming cabin was perfect for our needs. Very welcoming and comfortable and decorated so cute! Secluded enough to appreciate nature but just minutes from all the shopping, restaurants and entertainment!

My husband and I loved our stay here! It was our first time visiting the area and we loved the quiet, relaxing atmosphere at the Cottage compared to the hustle and bustle of Pigeon Forge's tourist area. It was so nice to finish our activities for the day (such a short, convenient drive to and from all the action) and come back to the peaceful cottage and it's serene creek view. The home was impeccably clean (thank you to the housekeeping folks, Steph and Keith for the Welcome basket) and it was even cozier and prettier than the pictures described! The view of the backyard from the second bedroom was wonderful. And we were greeted each morning by a family of ducks in the creek. The home had everything we could need or want, and we even found ice already made in the freezer when we arrived. (We thought we would have to go buy ice as we usually do in rentals). I have always been a beach girl, but I told my husband, this home made me think that I could love the mountains/woods too! The hosts were quick to respond to any questions we had prior to arrival and once we got there . Thank you Rick and June for sharing your home with us! We will be back next year!

This property was so serene, peaceful and quite. It is at the end of a drive so there are no vehicles constantly driving by. The home is beautifully decorated and convenient to Pigeon Forge without being in the hustle and bustle. We would absolutely stay here again.
5.0
The reviews posted from guests before this one are accurate. The comfort, serenity, cleanliness of this property are worthy to stay here again. I thought I’d miss not having a Hot Tub, yet have not. :)
There’s no bath tub, but the showers both of them have extendable hoses, in case you need to use it that way.
I had no experience in using Roku for TV but I did just fine.
We are very grateful for the accommodations.
Be sure to sign their guest book!
Oh, I’d love to know how I can get my own downy comforter like what’s in the suite bedroom!
Note to maintenance worker: The pull out bed in the suite room, needs a thick mattress pad but I just softened it with one of our blankets, and vacuum under that.
We hope to book with you again.
Thank you again.

What a wonderful experience! The property was more than we could have asked for!! The owners have truly thought of everything. We especially enjoyed sitting on the covered porch listening to the water from the creek. We hope to be able to visit again sometime soon.

We enjoyed our stay here so much. It was the perfect getaway with our little family. Our dog LOVED the creek and we loved the view. We hope to return again soon.

This is a very cozy property. I was glad that we were allowed to bring our dog, however, there was hair from prior dog/dogs on the furniture and top bedspread in the master bedroom. Additionally, the comforter on the bed in the master bedroom was gross! We washed it & it cleaned up nicely, but still, we shouldn't have had to do that. It's a cute place, but could use a deep cleaning. Thank you!
5.0
I wanted a place to be still and say, “Ahhh”. That is exactly what happened. I loved the creek sounds and birds.
Everything was stocked. It even had a fan in the bedroom for white-noise.
Down comforter let me sink into sleep.
The sofa was super comfy to sit on.
Plenty of space.
Easy drive to restaurants and activities without climbing winding mountain roads.
Very peaceful.

We loved the cottage on the creek! The hosts literally thought of everything! We would love to return some day.
