Private Creek, Hiking Trail System, Trout Fishing Onsite + Game Room, WiFi, Fire

We had a really wonderful stay at Homestead in Huffman Creek Retreat. The owner is very responsive and helpful. We didn’t realize the grills weren’t propane and the owner lent us some of their charcoal and lighter fluid in about 10 minutes we had it. The property is a bit difficult to get to using dirt and gravel roads, but well worth it. It is in the most beautiful woods with many trails on the property. We hiked up to some falls on the property and my partner hiked to a plane crash site. Both could be pretty strenuous hikes for those not used to hiking in the mountains, but worth the effort if you can make it. We had two kids with us 7 and 9 and they were able to make the hike to the falls. There is a creek that you can hear from the porch making for a nice peaceful morning or evening in the porch. Don’t forget your citronella and bug spray. The bugs are plentiful. The lightning bugs we were able to watch at night are a real treat. The location of the property is great too. We went to The Nantahala and Cherokee Natiinal Forests from there. The Bald River Falls are amazing and not to be missed. We also rented a boat about 20 min away to spend a day on Lake Santeetlha. That was such a beautiful lake with the mountains all around and great fir swimming as well. It really is a great location.

Our family loved the cabin. Beautiful area, the cabin was plenty of room for the family. Everything we needed was there. Enjoyed the pool table. Sad that the arcade game didn’t work. I’m also sad that I left my phone charger behind . Overall we had a wonderful time. Everything was clean and it also had extra fans and heaters. Very secluded, we will be coming back.

The cabin was clean and comfortable. If you get car sick I would think twice about this cabin. The roads to get there are very curvy. The hike to the plane crash was rough but worth it. It's a beautiful area. The fire pit is great. And there is a nice large back porch and a swing and rockers on the front porch.

PHENOMENAL! Everything about the stay exceeded expectations, by a large margin. The detailed directions with pictures got us there with no issues. Upon arrival, our firewood was already delivered and neatly stacked under cover from rain. The house was immaculately clean. That was our biggest worry going in and we were all very pleasantly surprised. Every room everywhere was spotless. They also totally undersell the best part … the private hiking trails! They were awesome, and in many parts beautiful, and the plane crash, while a somewhat strenuous uphill hike, totally delivers. Super cool. My only word of caution / advice is to arrive in daylight. Once you get on the grounds you will encounter some steep gravel roads and driveways and narrow bridges. The groundskeeper Kali answered every one of my countless text questions before and during the trip immediately, yet she gave us our space and we never saw her. We ran into the owner Robin at the Dance Hall trailhead and he was a super interesting, very nice guy with a gorgeous 1971 Land Rover. Overall, I would very highly recommend this place at twice the price!

The cabin was wonderful. The driveway and drive getting to it was a little difficult. There was only enough room for one case at a time to drive down. The creek was across the street from where we stayed. Overall me and my family had a wonderful time and would definitely do it again.

Road coming in is a bit rough for motorcycles, but otherwise a great stay and great house! Check in process of the code being sent to you the day of would have been good info to have. Still a great place!

We loved staying in the Homestead. This is an awesome place. Peace and quiet place just to gather with family.

If your looking for a great time in the mountains, this is it .Located not to far off the Cherohala skyway ,the tail of the dragon,numerous rivers ,lakes,or just simply stay at the cabin no disappointment here.

This was the perfect family friendly home with space for everyone to spread out and be comfortable. The house was well supplied with everything we needed . we spent hours with our grandchildren ages four through 19 hiking and jumping from rock to rock down the creek the area is absolutely beautiful so relaxing being surrounded by the trees and the sound of water running over the rocks surrounds you Robbinsville is about 11 miles away has grocery and drugstore along with a impressive pizza buffet grandchildren asked if we could go back again next summer we willabsolutely be back.

This property is so beautiful, the on site manger is very helpful and the check in was so smooth, i really love this property! i want to come back and stay in a new cabin next year! the creeks and traiks make it so fun no day is boring! Thank you for the memories!

Our trip was so relaxing. The cabin was comfortable and had everything we needed! The hiking trails were great. We enjoyed smore around the firepit.

Huffman Creek Retreat and the Homestead Lodge exceeded our expectations. We were talking about coming back before we left and we will. Thank you, Robin Turner and Staff!

Our group of friends were able to come together in North Carolina from all over the states. We met about 18 years ago playing World of Warcraft online and this was our first in person get together :) The property was wonderful! Such a perfect setting for us to explore, eat good food and relax. The house was comfortable and had everything we needed. The back porch area is where we spent most of our time. There were rocking chairs, fire pit, and a lovely giant table perfect for hanging out. If we are ever back in this area, we would stay here again.
