We found the perfect place to stay for a family wedding weekend! It was less than 5 minutes from the venue - The Mill at Rock Creek, which is beautiful! And about 10 minutes to Boone and everything you need or want with lots of great restaurants to choose from. In fact, Sherry provided wonderful google docs that have tons of info and recs! I just wish we could have stayed longer. For our small group of 3 adults - it was perfect. We loved the creek side fire pit and the porch looking over the creek out back for cocktails and coffee. Well appointed and so cute! We will be back!

Great place for a family trip!

We had 4 adults and 2 small children with our group and this cabin was a great place to stay during our trip to NC. It was very close to downtown Boone, Tweetsie Railroad and not too far for a day trip to other areas of interest like grandfather mountain. The cabin was spacious and it was so nice that much of it was baby proofed since we were traveling with a baby and toddler. It was so peaceful hearing the creek behind the cabin and we enjoyed the property while we were there. It had all the amenities we needed to cook yummy meals and then rest our heads before another adventure. Sherry and Rick were so kind and accommodating and even brought over toys and books for the kids to use while we were there along with a pack n play. And the cookies were delicious! We would definitely stay again if visiting Boone.
The double story deck was really neat.
We didn’t get to use the firepit but I could definitely see s’mores and memories being made there.

Perfect!

We have twins who are beginning their college tours. App State was college tour #1. We wanted a cabin in the mountains that could comfortably fit 4 people. When I found this place, I thought it was perfect. When we arrived, it was exactly what we saw online. Cozy. Welcoming. Relaxing. Quiet. It was exactly what we were looking for. The hosts were awesome! They were in contact with us the whole time and were readily available if we had any questions. I mentioned that our kids were touring ASU, the host was very sweet and left two ASU bandanas for them. Plus, some yummy cookies. My kids loved ASU, so who knows, we may be spending a lot more time at this sweet cabin over the next few years.

Cozy Creek Cabin

We had a wonder but too short stay at Cozy Cabin on Howard's Creek. We were in Boone for the King of the Mountain Soccer tournament and the cabin was the perfect location, less than 10 mins to Watauga HS and the Ted Mackorell Soccer Complex. When my son wasn't on the soccer field he enjoyed fishing in the creek just steps from the cabin, while my older son had his own quiet retreat in the basement bedroom/family room to study for his AP exam. Sherry and Rick were amazing host from their homemade cookies to fishing tips. We would love to have had more time to explore and enjoy the cabin, which means we'll have to visit again.

Perfect Mountain Getaway

Our family needed a break from the busyness of life and from the heat and humidity of the Sandhills. This was the perfect retreat! The creek is everything- the view, the sound, the fresh trout! We had a relaxing and quiet weekend. Sherry and Rick were wonderful hosts and we hope to stay again in the near future.

Fun vacation with the grands!

We decided on this property due to it's close proximity to Tweetsie Railroad and Grand Father Mtn and it did not disappoint! We enjoyed this property so much...from the baby birds nest on the front porch, the beautiful interior and the tranquility of the creek while sitting on the decks in the back. The owners were great and even offered a code for discount tickets to Tweetsie, which was so appreciated! The only negative is I wish we could have stayed longer. In the words of my husband "it feels like we are staying with friends rather than a vacation rental".

Great property

We were 3 childhood friends celebrating our birthdays. Sherry and Rick are top notch hosts. They excelled at communicating with us and went above and beyond to make our stay one to remember. They left us cookies, a Happy Birthday sign and a delicious birthday cake. They truly care about their renters. The cabin was clean and comfortable. The setting along the creek is so peaceful. Thank you Sherry and Rick for sharing your cabin with us.

Best VRBO experience ever

Thank you to Rick and Sherry for an amazing stay! They were so gracious and attentive with their time and extremely helpful. The cabin is gorgeous, well appointed, clean, cozy and has amazing views of Howard’s creek and surrounding mountains. A very short drive to downtown Boone and easy access to everything this area offers. My son loved wading in the creek even though weather was not the best for fishing. We played games, read books, visited, and made precious family memories in the comfort and coziness of Creekside Cabin. Plan to visit more if my daughter decides on App State! Thanks again Rick and Sherry! Best experience with a VRBO rental in the 10 years I have been renting properties on this app.

A Wonderful Weekend Getaway!

My husband, teen daughter & her friend, and I really enjoyed Creekside Cabin! It was so cozy and clean, and the owners added special touches like delicious cookies for us on arrival, and a birthday banner hung because I had mentioned it was my husband’s birthday weekend! The beds were very comfortable, and the whole cabin is cozy! We especially loved sitting by the gas log fireplace! The creek behind the cabin is gorgeous, and trekking down to the creek was fun! We went snow tubing at Hawksnest, walked around downtown Boone, and had great Indian & Thai food using the hosts’ recommendations. Communication was perfect— Sherry was responsive and helpful if we needed anything. We will definitely come back!

Sherry and Rick were so responsive and answered all of our questions (and left warm cookies for us when we checked in, which were delicious and quickly eaten!)
