Candler, North Carolina
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.
Everything about this cabin has been thoughtfully planned: the jacuzzi temperature set just right, the well appointed kitchen and the warm lighting set for guests’ arrivals. Not only is the cabin artfully decorated, but it’s just the right size for a relaxing and romantic get away. After a day of near by kayaking, hiking, golfing or zip lining, we spent our evening relaxing on the huge deck, sitting by the creek, feeding trout in the pond or unwinding in the jacuzzi. The location is perfect: close enough to Asheville to enjoy amenities but away from it all under a canopy of trees..
We really enjoyed our stay at this amazing property. The house was the perfect size for three of us. We really enjoyed spending time outside on the porch, in the hot tub, and by the trout farm. The house is also in such a great spot. 30 minutes from downtown and 20-30 minutes to some great hiking spots. You really can't go wrong with this property. We are recommending this place to all our friends!
Nice place for a two person getaway. Quality kitchen items (proper knives & tools), spices, condiments etc. so it wasn't scramble to eat in every day (bc Covid). Good linens and enough towels was also a treat. (Been at some air B&B places that cut corners and its a drag). The deck and hot tub were where we spent most of our time watching butterflies, hummingbirds and bees when not exploring the falls on hikes in the nearby forest. Bit too warm for us to use the sauna, but it was beautiful to look at. The outdoor shower was a delight after the hot tub and trout pond. Would love to come back in the fall sometime. Thanks again Carl!
We couldn't have asked for anything more. The home is very secluded and quite lovely. Amenities abound and the kitchen is especially well equipped with everything you need or didn't even know you needed. I found it quite humorous that I looked everywhere for a cutting knife when they were on a wall magnet right in front of my nose.. The personal note from the owners and vase of wildflowers made us feel very welcomed. The owners were readily available and attentive without being intrusive. The live house plants are a very nice touch, especially the wandering golden pothos. The deck area is just as nice as the inside and the abundance of butterflies on the yellow-flowered bushes was awesome. The Creekside Studio is a nature lover's dream. Thank you Carl and Stephanie. We will definitely be back!
This is just what my wife and I wanted for our anniversary week! A relaxing getaway that was not too far from things to do. We loved every minute and are looking forward to another stay in the future.
The cabin and property are a true sanctuary. Peaceful, relaxing and beautiful!
My husband and I stayed over the Fourth of July weekend and we couldn't have asked for a better experience. The house, the grounds, the pond, the amenities all exceded our expectations. We look forward to returning to recharge many times in the future!
We spent the weekend socially isolating ourselves at Carl and Stephanie’s Creekside Studio and had an amazing time. The hot tub and sauna are wonderful, especially after a quick dip in the plunge pool. The cabin itself was very clean and had everything we needed to relax and cook all of our meals. Communication and check-in were quick and seamless. I hope to visit again!
Everything about this property was great we enjoyed our stay cant wait to go back
Absolutely adored our stay at Creekside Cabin. An absolutely charming place, and it felt so homey. The hot tub and the sauna were amazing resources for our vacation!
