Amazing waterfall
This was our second time staying here, and it won't be our last! My family loves walking to the waterfall. The sound of the creek and the privacy at this cabin is rejuvenating. We can't wait to come back next time!

Up The Creek
We had such a peaceful stay at Up The Creek and Renee was the perfect host. The sound of the creek, the beautiful fall colors and the fall flowers that greeted us when we walked in the cabin are the memories that we brought home with us after our stay in this lovely cabin.

Great Stay in the Mountains
Everything was great. Cabin was very clean and well-equipped. I liked the layout of the cabin and the outdoor space was amazing (huge back porch listening to the stream, fire area etc.) It was nice to have hiking trails on the property especially if you are travelling with a pet that needs some exercise. My dog loved the waterfall hike. Just some info for future travelers, the driveway is steep and curvy. My AWD did great but could be intimidating to some others. You are out in the woods; keep that in mind for food, medicine and supplies. The cabin is built on a hill and the trip down to the stream is steep. None of this bothered me and I thought the place was great but I thought this info would be helpful to future guests. I would definitely come back!

Love this place!
We had the opportunity to have a few days away (while our teenagers were at camp) to stay at “up the creek” cabin. Everything was wonderful from the first morning temp of 55 degrees when we had just left 90 degrees in Atlanta! We were truly able to step out of the rat race feeling and get into Mountain vacation mode immediately. The cabin with its well thought out to the smallest detail and was inviting and comfortable. The location was perfect being quiet and remote but accessible to Boone, Blowing Rock, and the Blue Ridge Parkway for restaurants, groceries, shopping, and hiking. The property has a very cool creek which at any age our boys would love(why did it take me so long to find this place?) I also am glad the WiFi was available as it allowed us to be reachable in case of any emergency with our kids. We can’t wait to return with our whole family! Thank you!!

Great stay in Deep Gap
The property was as or better than advertised. We had a fun time enjoying the creek and walking the trail to the waterfall. Cabin was clean and has everything we needed. Location is a really good base location if you want to have some privacy, but have access to town. We would definitely recommend and say here again!

Down to the creek
Cute new little cabin in the woods! Property is equipped with everything you need for a vacation getaway. Loved sitting on the back deck with a view of the creek. Our dog loved playing in it! It is pretty steep getting down there so use the hiking poles provided! Close to the parkway entrance and about a 25 min drive into Boone. Driveway to the property is curvy and steep. Typical for the mountains though. We hope to come back!

Perfect Getaway!
This cabin exceeded our expectations. It is so beautiful and in the most peaceful location. We spent most of our weekend at the waterfall. It is a short hike, but a fun adventure! My boys (9 & 11) played in the creek for hours. We also loved sitting on the front porch listening to the creek. Beds are very comfortable, cabin very clean, and beautifully decorated. Renee is a wonderful host and she graciously let us arrive early and leave later. My family had a wonderful, relaxing weekend. We will most definitely be back again soon!

Perfect Little Getaway in the Woods
We stayed three nights, and could not have been more pleased with our stay. If you enjoy seclusion, this is your place. From the vase of fresh hand picked flowers sitting on the counter, to the owner built live edged furniture, every part of this cabin was perfect. The creek at the bottom of hill was great for spending time, our dogs had the best trip, plus there is a waterfall that you can walk to. This is not an ordinary, company run, cookie cutter cabin, it is a family owned with a personal touch cabin. We met the host, Renee, and she was a pleasure to talk to. The walk down to the creek would be difficult for someone older or out of shape, but we had no trouble. Limited cell service, but we didn't miss it. We will definitely be booking here again! Thank you Renee!
