The Cabin

The inside of the cabin is all on one level, making the main living areas simple and convenient once you are inside.

Outdoor Living

The outdoor spaces are what make Creekside Paradise especially inviting. Enjoy morning coffee on the covered deck, soak in the hot tub on the open deck, grill dinner outside, or gather around the fire pit in the backyard.

A year-round creek winds around the property, creating a peaceful mountain backdrop and the soothing sound of moving water. The partly fenced yard adds extra convenience for guests traveling with dogs, while the decks and fire pit give everyone room to enjoy the setting.

For hikers, the location is hard to beat. The Benton MacKaye Trail runs right alongside the property, so adventure can begin just steps from the cabin.
