We did like the outside of this property quite a bit. The creek is nice, and the waterfall was cool. However, the pictures on the listing are pretty dated. The property could use some tending to. The outside is grown up in the back yard, and most the bushes in pictures are dead and withered. Clean, basic needs met, and ok for a few days, but the area has a Marijuana farm on the road about a half mile away, and my wife and I both were on the same page and wouldn't book again.

Property was beautiful! Pleasant stay! Creek was such a peaceful sound!

Had a great time here. Easy drive to Cherokee, great Smokey mountains NP and blue ridge parkway. Stream and water fall were great. Love the sound of the babbling stream. Wifi was more like dial up speed.
4.9
Everything was amazing. So relaxing to hear the creek all night. I loved being about to walk outside and feel like I was in a dream. The only complaint I have is the main bed needs a new mattress. I slept on the couch to avoid it the second night. But other than that it was an amazing trip and I can’t wait to go back.

I think this was our 4th year at this cabin. We absolutely love it! Beautiful and relaxing!! We enjoy cuddling beside a fire and listening to the creek. The cabin is always spotless and well stocked. Only recommendation- it is time for a new mattress in the master bedroom.

The perfect mountain getaway. We spent a lot of time on the front porch even though it was chilly, sipping our tea & coffee and enjoying the babbling stream.
Cute & perfect spot to chill.

Our cabin was clean and comfortable. Spoiler alert, you do drive over a short wooden bridge to get to the property. The picture on the website gives you the impression that the creek running around the property is a bit wider than it really is. But it is quite lovely and we loved hearing the Rushing Water right outside the door. The one down side was that the internet was pretty much non-existent. We continued to reboot the router and you would have internet for 10 or 15 seconds and then it was gone again. It didn't hurt our feelings though because we were up in the mountains and enjoying the quiet and the fresh air.

This Cabin has it all! Me and my wife spent our honeymoon in this cabin and it was amazing! The stream that runs outside is amazing and the Cabin is very nice! We will be coming back one day!
4.9
Very cute and quiet little cabin. We wanted something with a creek and this was perfect. We slept with the window open and listened to the creek. Settled in between Bryson City and Cherokee, it was a short drive to both. Highly recommend eating breakfast at the Everett Street Diner but get there early.

This was my favorite vacation ever! Just the place I was looking for like a little piece of heaven on earth! We have decided to go there every September for my birthday. The rapid rush of the creek was so soothing to me. And, I so enjoyed time with my precious family there. The cabin was so clean and well stocked with everything we could possibly need. We also enjoyed roasting marshmallows around the fire pit. It was so nice being right on the creek. What a spectacular place to vacation! You won’t be disappointed!!!
4.9
The cabin is very clean and well maintained. The neighborhood seems safe. We would not hesitate to stay here again. The location is convenient to both Cherokee and Bryson City. We loved the sound of the creek and left the windows open to hear it.

We had a fantastic relaxing stay I wish I was napping on the front porch right now.

This was a great place with amazing outside features. It was so nice sitting outside near the creek and the waterfall across the street. Very clean and had everything you need
4.9
I can not say enough good about this place! You just HAVE to see it in person! Tucked away is this magical place with 2 waterfalls, moss covered everything, a peaceful stream, and comfort of home. We had 0 issues with anything, and everything about this place exceeded our expectation. Bonus; it has a half bath not included in description. Our quick weekend getaway was one for the books. We plan to visit again!!

Perfect place to stay and relax for a few days after being on the road for a week. Loved it and wish we could have stayed longer.
4.9
We had a wonderful 6 nights on Coopers Creek exploring the area by truck. We also had a motorcycle which I don't recommend for this location. The last half mile to the cabin is dirt/light gravel and very narrow and curvy, although it is flat. When raining or wet, the road is dangerous for a motorcycle, and fast cars, trucks, and buses come at you around the curves.

I stayed there a few years ago with my niece. I fell in love with the serenity of the creek and the waterfall. Even the sound of the screen door closing. We enjoyed the firepit. We really enjoyed the evening until I go inside to take a shower to get all the smoke smell off of me. There was no water. We had no phone service and didn't realize there was a phone on the counter. I had blocked it with food. After we found the phone we call the nicest lady Jennifer. She called me right back and was very concerned about our situation. She got someone right away to fix the water issue. But so much for our relaxed evening. The first morning I started making breakfast there was a roach on the counter. I killed it and clean the whole counter and didn't tell my husband about it because I knew he wouldn't be happy about roaches. I wanted everything to be a great birthday weekend. Well that evening he went into the kitchen and there were two roaches on the counter crawling on everything. I couldn't wash the dish towels because the washer was off limits. So I used paper towels to wash the dishes before we ate and after we ate. Talking about towels we had one set of towels for each of us for 5 days. Thank goodness our friends didn't come with us. We would of had to go buy towels. Not good. The fan in the smaller bedroom made so much noise I had to move to the couch so I could use the quiet fan in the living room. I like a fan when I sleep. It had a paper towel stuffed in the area that needed to stop the noise. Well it didn't stop the noise. I hate that all this happen. I work very had to be able to go on vacation. It was such a sad experience. I felt like I felled to make my husband's birthday a good one. My first experience was such a great experience. I can deal with all the stuff except the ROACHES!!! There were roach hotels under the sink. They are not working. We came home a day early because I got tired of the roaches.Even with all our disappointment I would go back if everything was fixed. That is how much I love the cabin and the serenity of the water.

Beautiful little cottage with a wonderful creek and waterfall. Quiet and out of the way. Well furnished. Would definitely stay again. It is down a gravel roads so be prepared for that. WiFi was spotty but not a negative for us.
4.9
WE LOVED THE CABIN AND HAD A REALLY GREAT TIME.
4.9
This is our 2nd stay this year and we live the cabin right on the river. Mattresses are ok, internet could be better and espn would be nice for the guys. We saw a few tiny black roaches in the kitchen this time. Bryson City is a great little town and the food is wonderful. We will be back for sure.
4.9
We had a great time at this cute cabin in the woods. Clean, comfy couch and chairs, beds too. Had all amenities you will need for a short or long stay. No fireplace. AC and Heat worked great. Few stairs to get down to cabin from parking, which could be hard for some people. Parking a big truck difficult. But location was great for day trips. There is some traffic along this road as there are several homes above this one on the road. Nice creek and waterfall. Nice place to sit and relax. I would come back.

Just a very quiet relaxing place to stay. Loved the river.

We enjoyed our respite time at Falls Creek after busy days of hiking! Loved hearing Cooper's Creek at night. The cabin is in very good condition and all amenities listed are provided. The fire pit and deck were an added bonus! Off the beaten path, but close to highways to explore all the Nantahala Forest and southern part of the Great Smokey Mountain National Park has to offer!

I could listen to the sound of the creek forever. I even caught and released a little trout. We enjoyed the fire pit, the cabin was clean, private and well stocked. Location was good for exploring lots of waterfalls in the area.
4.9
We had a wonderful time. The neighbors were friendly. The cabin and the surrounding creek and waterfall were amazing. It was so relaxing and just what we needed to take a break from the world. Pure peace and quiet. Would love to visit again.

Rural beautiful setting, about half way between Bryson City and the Cherokee entrance to Smoky Mountain National Park. This location worked great for us. When we were not off hiking and exploring, we enjoyed the flowing creek right next to the cabin. The open kitchen great room worked well. This cabin made our trip to the Smokies even more enjoyable.

Amazing and relaxing cabin with old character yet comfortable interior, perfect for small families, couples, or friends stay. The cabin was clean and convenient and the property is wonderful with the robust creek and close waterfall (closer and larger than shown).
Interior lighting is dim and we'd recommend you bring some kitchen supplies to augment what is supplied if you plan on really cooking. Traffic on the gravel road was more than expected, especially due to local wildfire workers staging up the road. Overall really great and recommended, but research the location before committing to avoid any surprises. Thanks!

The property was absolutely wonderful. Very clean and setup well, the only thing that didn't work was the wall heater in the bathroom by the washer and dryer. Maybe add the sports channel 😉. Phone service only works in town and not on Wi-Fi.
Definitely enjoyed the relaxing sound of the little creek and the trout fishing. We even got lucky as it snowed for a few days. WE HIGHLY RECOMMEND IT and will be back in the future.
