Cozy Creekside Retreat, Gateway to the Smokies, Maggie Valley, Asheville, Nature

The fire pit and stream out back were very nice

While the property had pretty much everything we needed, it really needs to be deep cleaned and the comforters and sheets need to be replaced. Just a little modernizing would go a long way. Lightning in kitchen was best ever, all appliances worked great. Had some really cute end tables and decor. The outside gazebo and porch could have used a good blowing off before we arrived, it is a beautiful area with the creek flowing by. The house is close to many restaurants and shopping. We really enjoyed our two weeks and with the exceptions noted above, would be happy to return.x

Loved the creek in the back yard

Very pet friendly. Loved the fenced in area for our dog. The kitchen was great. Everything we needed for cooking a family dinner. Then there was the fire pit by the creek. Everyone enjoyed the weekend.

Really enjoyed our time in Waynesville and at Richland Creek Retreat! The house was lovely and conveniently close to downtown and restaurants. The backyard is fantastic, and we enjoyed the sounds of the creek. The house was stocked with everything we needed, and it was nice that the linens and towels were provided.

On a formal note, the check in process was super easy. Upon entering the house, we found it to be clean and neat. The kitchen, bathroom, and laundry were stocked with some basic supplies. The beds were comfy and there was plenty of seating. The outdoor areas were well maintained. We spent a lot of time on the large deck and gazebo where you can see and hear the creek which was maybe 20 or 30 feet from the deck and is easily accessible if one chooses to go down to the water which we did. Out little dog loved the fenced in area.On a personal note, I'd like to thank Susan for opening this property up to visitors. I am originally from the Great Smokies. My family moved us away when I was a child, but I would come back to spend the summers with family. Now, as an adult, I feel the pull to go back and visit the area whenever I can. It was a great retreat and so peaceful to just sit on the deck and listen to the creek rush by. My wife and her mother had a great time shopping in town which was maybe a 5 minute drive from the house. A little further out, there were lots of shops and flea markets with plenty of antique and vintage items. You can definitely put our names down as future returning visitors.

This home has lots of amenities. We enjoyed having morning coffee by the creek before getting on with our day. The kitchen is well equipped, beds are comfy amd the fenced in area is very secure if you have sneaky pets. We did not bring our dog but I appreciated the owner’s attentiveness to that as we have had issues at every pet friendly location. Also, it’s a short walk to lots of ahops and restaurants.

Great place to stay. Roomy house with everything you need to relax and enjoy sitting out by the creek. Gated deck connected to a spacious gazebo and a fenced in side yard make it the perfect place if you want to bring your small dog along. Updated appliances in a fully stocked kitchen that has everything you need to cook a meal if you wish.Quick drive to shops and restaurants.

We enjoyed our vacation in Waynesville. The house is located on a beautiful stream and close to Main Street.

Had a great stay in Waynesville, host was extremely accommodating, excellent meals within 5-10 minutes drive, as well as walking/hiking trails.

A great location in the wonderful town of Waynesville. I particularly loved the gazebo, the flowers, and the deck. My kids really enjoyed the access to the creek! If you don’t mind cold water, it’s a great place to swim and walk the rocks. Pretty much everything we needed was available or close by to bw gotten quickly enough.

Every thing was as showed on add very nice neighborhood very well located to injoy seeing the sites and eating out.loved our stay

Cozy, clean and comfortable… close to town with a wonderful backyard right on the creek is how I would describe this lovely cottage. Thanks for sharing your home it us, we had a wonderful time in Waynesville.

We enjoyed our long weekend at Susan and Rolf's home. A cute mid-century located on the lovely Richland Creek. The house was comfortable, with a nice small fenced in yard, a covered gazebo overlooking the creek. Plenty of parking. Kitchen had many of the at home touches. (Dishwasher is coming soon.) Road noise was a little loud during day but quiet at night. Road noise during the day, but quiet at night.

Absolutely phenomenal little spot in close proximity to all the best parts of the area. The only reason I have to give 3 stars on cleanliness is that the cleaners didn’t show up so the home hadn’t been cleaned when we arrived, but the owner was wonderfully communicative and apologetic and did everything they could to remedy the situation while we explored downtown. Will definitely be coming back next time we’re in the area!

We had a great time at the house on Richland Creek in Waynesville,NC!! The house was perfect for our family and being directly in the creek was a plus!! The owners were very nice and easy to communicate with. The house had everything we needed for a great long weekend! Overall a great weekend!!
