Home away from home...only better!
Beautiful cabin, and a gorgeous setting. And did you also order the weather? It could not have been better. Loved the sound of the creek as we ate on the spacious deck. You have everything a person needs to enjoy a long or short vacation. It was perfect for us.
We will definitely return....
Thank you.

We so enjoyed our visit - our girl's weekend out. The cottage is delightful, and the views, the creek, and the deer and birds were such a treat.
The music festival was wonderful - we hope to be back.

Fred & Clara,
We were so impressed with your beautiful little cottage - everything was perfection. Thanks too for the delicious cookies - you had all we could possibly need - so clean, neat, and beautifully decorated. To think we found you near our favorite vacation spot...the Virginia Creeper Trail It has been a favorite trail of ours for the past 20 years and now your place will be our first choice in the future over any lodging in the area!
We'll try to see you in the fall.

Fred & Clara,
It was so hard to leave your little bit of paradise. There is so much to see and do in the area. Just the hiking trails would keep us busy for years. Loved the cottage and all the amenities. Can honestly say I've never stayed in a more well-stocked, well cared for, and beautifully landscaped home. I will miss your peaceful deck and the beautiful sunsets. The traffic and "hubbub" of Raleigh seems miles away.
Thanks again and see you soon.

You are such special people. Thanks for such a wonderful time at Creekside Cottage. It has everything and you two are so gracious. We loved the Creeper Trail and the hiking. Loved the sunset each evening and the deer coming by each evening to eat the apples.

What a great time we had at your beautiful cottage. You were so right when you said "all you need to bring is your food."
Everything else was here!!
We had such a wonderful time spending time with our family. We really enjoyed sitting on the front porch and getting
to see three deer right in front of the cottage!
We are sure to be back - it is home away from home!

This is one lovely cottage!
How wonderful to have found your place. It gave us a wonderful weekend here at Whitetop,

You have a little bit of paradise here, and we got to enjoy it too. Every room is so beautifully decorated.
I am glad you had a photo on the wall of the way this place used to look like. You've sure done a lot of work.
The photos of your family and friends were nice to see too. I love to come to this area as it is so beautiful &
so back to nature. I'm also glad to find a place that lets man's best friend come too. The dogs loved it.
I enjoyed chatting with you folks and we will return again.

Thanks so much for your hospitality! We had a wonderful time at your cottage - comfortable and quaint.
We loved the Creeper Trail and Music On the Mountain was a highlight. Your cottage is halfway between Atlanta

What a treat to find such a lovely cottage so well stocked and cozy! Our friends who were staying down the road
joined us for dinner in the evenings which was a lot of fun. Riding the Creeper Trail was a most enjoyable experience
and especially as it was such a perfect day weather-wise. We hope to be back again sometime and have your card
as reference!

Dear Clara & Fred,
We had a delightful stay at Creekside Cottage! Your comfortable and cozy cottage provided a refuge from the
hustle and bustle of work and of Raleigh!
We spent a day riding the Creeper Trail. It was such a beautiful ride - and we plan to do it again. We also enjoyed
going to nearby Fall festivals, taking drives to look at the turning leaves, and of course going to listen to the music
on Whitetop Mountain.
You are great hosts! Thank you for all the extra touches and special thoughts provided in the cottage. The brownies
were the best too! Our most special treat was meeting the two of you! We hope to see you again soon.

We really enjoyed our stay here. The cottage was very convenient to the places we visited. Spent several days hiking
at Grayson Highlands State Park and it was so nice to get back and relax on the front porch.
Everything was great and the cottage had everything we needed.
