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.
My family & I had a great time. This is the 1st cabin I've been to that had such a well stocked kitchen where I had to put away everything I brought up there. The location & property were beautiful. You can do some serious hiking on the land around the cabins. The cabin was clean & everything we expected it to be. Kali the property mgr is so helpful & sweet. We'd definitely come back again.
Driveway was rocky and hard to navigate on bikes. Basement smelled of mold and mildew so wasn’t able to use bedroom due to intense odor. Shower water pressure was inconsistent and made showering not easy. Also doesn’t drain well leaving you standing in water. Wall unit hvac in main bedroom didn’t work.
Our group of 5 adults stayed for one week with our dogs. The cabin was plenty big, the beds were comfortable, and we had all the kitchen equipment we needed for preparing our meals. We especially appreciated the opportunities to hike on property, near beautiful streams, with the dogs. We would definitely consider returning to Huffman Creek Retreat.
We enjoyed every moment of this beautiful cabin we have stayed here before nobody bothers you I enjoyed waking up to the sound of the creek the only one thing I didn’t like was the couch had dog hairs other than that the cabin was very clean I would rate this 5stars+++
The directions to the property were spot on. The house was spotless and very nice. The only thing that might give someone caution with rent this house is that you have to go back a gravel road to get to it. If you're an inexperienced rider you may have a problem. We did not have any issues with bringing in our trailer or riding in and out. A group of Harleys didn't seem to have a problem either. I just think that you should know. We are looking forward to booking this property again. We had a great time and loved the house.
Great place to get away from it all. However, floors and rugs were very dirty, only two trays of ice in freezer for family of nine, and showed pictures of gas logs, but were not usable.
Amazing cabin in the woods, lots of trails to go on hikes with the family.
This place was great! Was sad to leave. Very warm and cozy, felt like home. Trails were great. Scenery beautiful. Son loved pool and football.
It was an awesome home! Thank you for sharing it with us. I am 62 and hiked up to the plane crash! It was a rough climb but was well worth it. We had the best time of our lives! The house was plenty big enough. So many trails and waterfalls.
5 of us stayed there for 7 nights. And I can truly say that we had a great time. We saw a lot of different sights that were absolutely beautiful. Even if I give the grill a rating of a 1. I still give the cabin a 5 star rating. I would recommend replacing the grill with a better char coal grill with a lid. So you can cook your food better. I can truly say that who ever stays there I hope that they have as good a time as we did. Thank You
Only thing that was wrong with this property was the roads need to be maintained much better it was a hard time getting up to the house, recommend a four-wheel drive vehicle...
