    Lovely, peaceful location. Convenient to lots of hiking areas. Multiple seating options along the creek are a nice touch. Christmas tree was a welcome surprise. Comfortable bed, hooray! Everything was clean. The forest is beautiful and I imagine this is a spectacular place in spring.

    This property is secluded and very quiet! Just you and nature. The stream and fire pit were very relaxing. Everything we needed was on site and available. We didn’t want to leave, we will be back to Yellow Creek!!

    This is a wonderful small cabin with a creek running next to it. My wife and I had a very relaxing stay. The beds were comfortable, the kitchen is well furnished with all the amenities to cook a meal. The creek offers natural beauty and a relaxing sound if the out doors. I have already recommended this cabin to friends. Would book here again. Todd

    Perfect getaway - cabin was beautiful and the creek frontage was outstanding. Love the seclusion and peace. The no WiFi was an added bonus, could not work or keep up with the news! Thank you so much!

    This was EXACTLY what our family needed. Cabin was beautiful inside and the location next to the creek was perfect. Location was really ideal as a central starting point for exploring numerous waterfalls, trails, lakes, and just gorgeous scenery. Being disconnected from internet, phones, work, etc. was such a blessing. We will definitely be back!

    Absolutely amazing! No cell service! No internet! No distractions! If you are looking for a place to go and spend quality time with the one(s) you love this is it. Town isn’t far if you need something. We took everything we needed to cook in with us and went to town once to go to Wheirloom Honey and The Ace Hardware! 2 places we always go. Trout fishing was great, the creek was amazing and fired by the creek were so relaxing. It is definitely just what everyone needs at least once a year.

    My wife and I both work in public safety/health professions and were interested in a remote mountain cabin to take our family in order to disconnect from the stresses of everyday life. We found what we were looking for at the Yellow Creek Cabin. There is some cell phone service in Robbinsville (15 min drive) and at the top of the mountain in Joyce Kilmer park 10-15 min drive). We were also able to connect to WiFi at Tapoco which we had excellent dining and also boasts a cigar smoking lounge while being close to the cabin. This cabin was just what we needed to recharge our batteries. The property has some hiking opportunities of its own while also being close to other at Joyce Kilmer park and the Nanatahala National Forest. If you need a day at a theme park, this cabin is only a 2 hour drive from Gatlinburg/Pigeon Forge. I would be remiss if I didn’t mention that the creek running next to the cabin and the decor of the cabin itself takes you back to a simpler time and place and is extremely relaxing. If you’re worried about activities for your children we played multiple board games but also enjoyed the DirectTV. As my wife put it, if you don’t enjoy this spot for your next vacation it’s not the cabin.

    We celebrated two family birthdays with fly fishing in the creek and sitting on the porch rocking and listening to the soothing sounds of Yellow Creek. All four of us are in our seventies and this was the perfect setting for recharging.

    No internet, no cell service, no signal. Into the woods of the NC mountains by a easy playful creek. Everything is about 30 minutes away. Its good to get away from work, social media, and makes you grateful for what you have at home.

    We were so please with our stay!! This is our new favorite vacation destination! We have never stayed in such a clean vacation rental. We can’t wait to go back! The DishTv was not working, but Payton did make efforts during our stay to address the issue. It was completely fine because we enjoyed some DVDs while we were there. The property was SO nice and well maintained. All of the amenities were included as well as some special additions that we didn’t expect (cut firewood, field guides, brochures, etc). I especially enjoyed the field guides and books at the cabin with notes about he dates of sightings. Our kids really enjoyed the board games. There was some sort of issue with the county trash service at the time of our stay but we made arrangements with Payton to address the situation. We will be back! ~The James Family, June 2024
