Relaxing Retreat on Jonathan Creek

It was very clean and felt like home. We had a wonderful stay!

This cabin was perfect for our week in Maggie Valley! The cabin was very clean and had all of the amenities that we were looking for. Right on Jonathans Creek which was very nice!

Shower in master very small. Internet was very poor. Outside of that was perfect for our needs. Three friends riding motorcycle in the mountains. Home made a perfect home base. Loved sitting on back porch grilling dinner.

We loved the location. Very friendly area. Met others as walking on the sidewalk. Met the neighbor and her dog. The bed I slept in was very comfy. The kitchen was great. The outside was wonderful. The only thing the sofa and loveseat was not comfortable but we made do

This is our third trip staying at a “Relaxing Retreat on Jonathan Creek”! We love it here! It is perfect! We have already booked another trip here!

We had the Most relaxing stay on our trip to Maggie Valley this year! It was absolutely wonderful and we look forward to coming back again. The home is so comfortable and to be able to sit out by the rushing waters of Jonathan Creek is heavenly and was just what we needed!

The property was wonderful! Clean, well maintained and beautiful. We enjoyed our stay so much and will be looking forward to coming back!!

Had a wonderful time, good location, very clean, and had everything you needed!

Great spot on the creek. The home was very comfortable. Fall leaves where perfect.

This was our third time staying in one of Beth and Ken's properties and the second time we rented the Shady Creek cabin. We absolutely loved the cabin and location on our first stay and looked forward to our return trip. None of us anticipated Hurricane Helene would do her best to wreck havoc on the area during our visit. We noticed the creek was higher than previous years but was still well below the bank when we checked in on Thursday afternoon. By 6:20 AM on Friday, the creek had begun to flood the back and side of the yard. We evacuated to the Sunoco station on Soco Road and watched as the creek became a raging river, surrounding the cabin and crossing the road into the community on the other side. We thought for sure that the cabin had been flooded but prayed for the best. We were able to stay in communication with Beth during this time but didn't know that Beth was already preparing another property for us to stay in. By late afternoon, the waters had receded enough for us to return to the cabin. There was evidence of the flood waters rising above porch level but incredibly, the house was not flooded at all. The power was out but there was no evidence of any water getting inside! Beth and Ken met us at the cabin and told us of the other property that they had prepared for us. We were planning to just return home as soon as we could. Instead, we ended up staying until Tuesday. We cannot thank Ken and Beth enough. They treated us like family during a major catastrophe

We really enjoyed our stay at this property. We loved being able to bring our dog too, and our kiddos enjoyed the campground across the creek because later in our stay other children arrived and they played together in the creek. The pictures of this VRBO are very accurate, but some people don’t pay attention to those so I’ll point out some things…the house was very clean. The kitchen is on the smaller side (especially if you like to cook). But we don’t cook extravagant meals on vacation and had everything we needed. Jonathan Creek is right behind the house, my husband caught a few trout but it is a well-populated and fished area. There are many places close by that you will catch more trout. We loved having the creek to play in and enjoyed seeing the ducks and their babies. Hope to see elk next time! There are many restaurants close to the house too. I will clarify (again for people who aren’t paying attention) this is not a secluded cabin in the woods. There are houses all around it, but from the listing information that was obvious to me and not a problem for us. Great communication with Beth too, we would stay here again if we visited Maggie Valley!

Prior to our stay, communication was great. Check-in was very easy. The house was perfect. Located on Johnathans Creek, we loved sitting in the backyard, listening to the water. About 50 Mallards came up the creek each night, which added to the enjoyment. The kitchen had everything we needed and the rooms were a good size, with comfortable beds. Definitely checkout this place if you want something close to all the mountain towns with easy access to Asheville.

We had such a good stay. Can’t wait to come back.

The property was in a very easy place to come and go to all Maggie Valley has to offer plus being on the creek in the swings made us not want to venture far!

This beautiful property located right on the creek offers plenty of possibilities for those who enjoy the outdoors. The cabin is stocked with anything you may need during your stay. Loved it!

When we went to get a shower for bed,on the first night, the master bedroom shower had a crack in the hose. Water was spraying everywhere. Notified the owners and it was repaired the next day. Crock pot lid and insert were dirty and had to be cleaned before use. On the second day of our stay, my husband noticed “bites” on his arms, back, and legs. Our daughter in law (nurse) identified them as bedbug bites and we examined the room and found evidence (dead bedbugs) in the nightstand. Informed and sent pictures to the owner. An exterminator came in and confirmed the bedbug issue only in the master bedroom. We (hubby & I only-not entire family) were offered by the owner, a night stay in a local hotel but it was our last night of vacation and no guarantee that the hotel would not have the same issue, so we decided that one more night was not going to make a difference. No other compensation was offered or asked for. I will say that the owner was awesome and very upset and apologized for the situation. We just do not want others to have the same experience we had.

The property was in excellent condition and offered perfect opportunities for many Great loops.
