About this cabin rental

Welcome to the Homestead Nature Lodge. We’re so glad you have found us here along our magical creek in Western North Carolina. Snug in the Appalachian region, you’ll find yourself surrounded by ancient mountains, rushing creeks, countless hiking trails, twinkling stars in the night sky, private campfires and some of the most unique native trout fishing in the region. Whether you’re traveling with family or a group of friends, we know you’ll find a treasured blend of relaxation, fun, and the perfect backdrop for making memories together.

So, why the Homestead Nature Lodge? Well, that’s an easy one. At Huffman Creek Retreat, you’re getting much more than just a cabin. You’re practically getting a whole state park experience to yourself! Once you arrive there’s really no reason to leave. Enjoy the miles of private hiking trails that will take you to waterfalls, lookouts, our own meditation / picnic shelter, and even a plane crash! Keep an eye out for blackberries, mushrooms, singing birds, and beautiful blooms along the way. Prefer a little less adventure? No worries. Grab a book and relax by the creek in one of our hammocks or simply soak in the cool creek water after a restorative yoga flow on the massive back porch.

If you’re traveling with a group bigger than a couple, there’s a chance you’ll have a mix of personalities. Some will hope to sleep in late, other’s will want a breakfast spread at sunrise, and some may stay up late into the night watching the stars. The Homestead’s 3-story layout is purposefully designed to accommodate just that. With a private suite on the main and lower level and a bunk room and 4th bedroom on the upper level, you can spread out and enjoy your vacation on your own timeline.

After a day of adventure, prepare a meal in the kitchen or out on the grill by the fire and opt for an inside meal together or out on the huge back porch with a view of the fireflies in the summer of falling leaves in autumn.

After a few days at Huffman Creek Retreat, you’ll be ready for life’s next adventures and only wishing you could stay a few days longer.

My family & I had a great time. This is the 1st cabin I've been to that had such a well stocked kitchen where I had to put away everything I brought up there. The location & property were beautiful. You can do some serious hiking on the land around the cabins. The cabin was clean & everything we expected it to be. Kali the property mgr is so helpful & sweet. We'd definitely come back again.

Driveway was rocky and hard to navigate on bikes. Basement smelled of mold and mildew so wasn’t able to use bedroom due to intense odor. Shower water pressure was inconsistent and made showering not easy. Also doesn’t drain well leaving you standing in water. Wall unit hvac in main bedroom didn’t work.

Our group of 5 adults stayed for one week with our dogs. The cabin was plenty big, the beds were comfortable, and we had all the kitchen equipment we needed for preparing our meals. We especially appreciated the opportunities to hike on property, near beautiful streams, with the dogs. We would definitely consider returning to Huffman Creek Retreat.

We enjoyed every moment of this beautiful cabin we have stayed here before nobody bothers you I enjoyed waking up to the sound of the creek the only one thing I didn’t like was the couch had dog hairs other than that the cabin was very clean I would rate this 5stars+++

The directions to the property were spot on. The house was spotless and very nice. The only thing that might give someone caution with rent this house is that you have to go back a gravel road to get to it. If you're an inexperienced rider you may have a problem. We did not have any issues with bringing in our trailer or riding in and out. A group of Harleys didn't seem to have a problem either. I just think that you should know. We are looking forward to booking this property again. We had a great time and loved the house.

Great place to get away from it all. However, floors and rugs were very dirty, only two trays of ice in freezer for family of nine, and showed pictures of gas logs, but were not usable.
