About this cabin rental

Originally a pole barn, Creekside Studio has served as workspace for a potter and, later, a glassmaker. Today, it’s an inviting living space and just what you need: a well-situated home base for exploring western North Carolina and a great place to relax when you’re done!

Bring your hiking shoes, road or mountain bike, canoe or kayak, and other essential toys. Creekside Studio is near the Pisgah National Forest border and about 7 miles from the Blue Ridge Parkway. Access the Parkway via scenic, winding Highway 151—a gorgeous drive or challenging (but rewarding!) bicycle climb. Once you reach the Parkway, you’re just 3 miles from the Mount Pisgah trailhead and a 1.5-mile hike from the finest panoramic views around at 5,721 feet. A large, locked storage/laundry room at the studio can secure your gear when you're not adventuring. And if you seek a different kind of action, the studio is a 25-minute drive to the funky bustle of downtown Asheville where you’ll find plenty of interesting people, arts, history, and more craft beverages than you’ve ever dreamed of!

Creekside Studio sits on 13.5 acres of forested land along a dead-end, gravel road. Here, you can sit in the Hot Springs hot tub on the 740-square-foot deck, count the stars in a very dark sky, and take in the sounds of…nothing, except the creatures of the night and the whisper of the creek below the front yard. The spacious deck provides ample room to grill, dine al fresco, and relax in the rocking chairs with a glass of something delicious. Just up the trail from the studio is a traditional Finnish-style, wood-fired sauna designed and built by the owners featuring wood harvested from the property and reclaimed materials. Light the fire, lie back, sweat out your cares, and then plunge into the cool, spring-fed trout pond. It’s electrifying and so good for the body and soul. An outdoor shower with hot and cold water will facilitate the transition from sauna to pond to hot tub. A set of robes in the bedroom closet will surely please; just bring your slippers.

The studio’s open yet cozy space is perfect for two. The kitchen contains all the tools you’ll need to create your favorite meals or treats. In the winter months, you can enjoy the glow of a warm fire in the woodstove.

You may decide to unplug upon arrival, but, if not, free WiFi will keep you connected with the outside world. Not that you’ll need it, but electronic entertainment options include a Roku TV with Netflix, Prime Video, HBO Max, and Hulu; a Bluetooth-enabled stereo with CD player; and DVD player.

We’d love to welcome you to Creekside Studio.

I don't think the ad does the property justice. The sound of the stream while you drink coffee in the mornings is so soothing. Feels remote but close to everything within 25 minutes. We loved the window design. Such a lovely layout of the space. Super clean and has everything you need to cook in the kitchen. The tea & coffee + honey was a nice homey touch. We loved the plunge pond and jacuzzi. We didn't use the sauna as it is July. It makes me want to come back in the winter and hole up with the wood burning stove.

This was the second time staying at the property, and I love the privacy the property offers. The highlight for me is the sauna, which I can never get enough of!! Very centrally located, so it's easy to access great hiking trails, as well as downtown Asheville. Can't wait until my next stay!!

This property was exactly what we were looking for for a peaceful, relaxing trip. Everything was even better than expected--the sounds of the creek while sitting on the deck, the relaxing time spent in the sauna and hot tub, all of the beautiful decorating details. We hope to come and relax here every single year!

Carl and Stephanie’s cabin was a perfect getaway! It’s in such a peaceful location, but the addition of the sauna and the abundant outdoor space really set it over the top. Very convenient to get into town for exploring and to hiking spots as well. We loved spending the day out doing activities and then coming home and relaxing in the hot tub or sauna (or both). We will definitely be back.
