Stoney Fork Creekside Cottage: Relax by the Creek with Hot Tub Bliss

Cottage was clean and the setting was wonderful. Unfortunately the washing machine overflowed and flooded the whole laundry room. We had to turn off the water to the whole house to get the water to stop. Eric was very responsive. He came immediately and got the water back on but the washing machine was out of order. Eric gave us the option to move to the Cozy Creek cottage which was almost next door. We moved and had a lovely evening. The Cozy Creek cottage was perfect!

I'm really torn because the house has both pros/cons. Yes, the house is very quaint/rustic/old. Because of its age, the floors slope in places, and the ceiling beams appear to need repair, but perhaps they're just decorative?Pros:- Serene location next to the creek. Feels very private despite being right off the road with very easy access. 25 min to Asheville.-The trails across the creek in the adjacent park are not well-marked, but we had a great time walking our dog there. It's filled with native plants, including the largest patch of trout lilies I've ever seen! Beautiful! -Love that it's dog-friendly and doesn't charge extra for pets!-The hot tub is lovely and covered! -We didn't use it, but it now has a Weber grill.-Lovely toiletries!Cons:-Harder to sleep if you're sensitive to noise: One bedroom has a window unit that's fairly loud. The master bedroom is near the utility room where some sort of system routinely makes various noises that were too loud for us.-The water pressure was abysmal if you tried to use more than one faucet. So if someone was showering, we couldn't use water in the kitchen. -The shower perpetually drips. -The bridge over the creek no longer has a railing. We had no issues, but not ideal for someone less stable. -The road is out just down from the house, so access to the trails is a bit longer.-Some sheets were worn with pilling that made them feel gritty if you slept in shorts. Would suggest new sheets or plan to sleep in pants.

This place was exactly what we needed. Very peaceful right on the creek and had places to hike and walk the dog right from the house. The parkway has an entrance that’s very close too which made it nice for being able to take the scenic route to places and enjoy the beauty of the parkway. The host also was very responsive and went out of their way to get things right for us. Would definitely recommend staying here!

Wonderful location, we loved exploring the trails. It’s definitely quite rustic, and could benefit greatly with an overall clean with general maintenance, but we thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would book again. Excellent communication also - We accidentally left something behind and the host went above and beyond to help us.

If your looking for a weekend away this is the place its calm, quiet and peaceful. The cabin was clean and cozy. Overall great stay

It had everything I needed except pantry items but I always come prepared so it was perfect! They bought a new fridge so there were no issues there! The gas stove was a little tricky lol but that was my own inexperience. The living space was cozy and comfortable. The beds were clean and comfortable. The shower took me a little bit to figure out but after that the water pressure was fine, clean hot shower. I spent most of my time in the creek and on the porch swing so the TV was only on for background but it had everything i needed. To me, it was perfect, it was safe and out of the way but still close enough to run to the store. If you need a soul rest and reset in seclusion, which I did, but still want to be among the living, this place is perfect. Thank you so much for allowing me to share your space

Small issues that were resolved immediately. Can’t say enough positive about the owner. He definitely went above and beyond. Loved the cabin and location was wonderful literally steps from the large creek. Beds were comfortable but glad we brought pillows. The wife, dog and very much enjoyed it.

Great stay. Small place. Very clean. Nice location and beautiful views. Stay was not long enough but everything was great!

The place was nice. Loved being on the creek. A lot more rustic of a cabin than the online photos. We were ok with it because it reminded us of our farm house. Refrigerator does not work even though I was told that it had been fixed. Also, there was supposed to be a trash can beside the building and there was not. Notified the owners upon check out that the trash was on the porch. I hope they get there before critters do.

My husband and I stayed at Stoney Forks for his birthday and it was great! The hot tub, the swing, the river, walking in the woods, nearby hiking, and of course Asheville (specifically the River Arts District) were all highlights for us! Thanks for this great little spot in nature!

We loved the location and the deck with the creek is beautiful. The owners were quick to answer questions and that was nice, but they also didn't offer any kind of compensation for the refrigerator not working. The house itself needs a lot of basic maintenance, not even costly repairs would be necessary to make a stay more enjoyable. Alot of small, very basic maintenance is necessary.

Perfect for us and our dogs! 15 mins to dowwntown asheville, 5 mins from fantastic hiking and a walk across the bridge in the backyard to trails and the state park. We will be back.

The cabin was exactly as described and super clean. Contact with the hosts was answered promptly, and responses were friendly and very helpful. The cabin is definitely older, but it was so cozy. The beds slept great and the hot tub was incredibly relaxing with the creek in the background. We loved the stay and would highly recommend the cabin and its hosts.

Had such a relaxing time at this cabin. Hot tub was clean and worked great. Living room is best feature inside. Internet for other cabins too so not secure, but I didn’t want to work anyway. 😂 The kitchen had all needed but could use some new sauce pans. Creek came up with some rain which was nice for sound and flow. Loved the roof over hot tub so could use it in the rain. Would recommend at this price point! Bed was very comfortable!
