Trout Creek Getaway is exactly as described and better!!
This property lives up to its name. We stayed in July 2023 and returned for June 2025 because we loved the cabin, location, and friendly locals whom made both our stays wonderful. The creek that runs along the road to the cabin holds rainbow, brown, and brook trout. Itâs so beautiful and peaceful. Cabin is very homey, equipped with everything you need, and clean. The perfect amount of privacy if youâre looking for peace and quiet. Walmart, Dollar General, and a gas station are nearby which comes in handy for groceries and such. We definitely plan on returning. Olga the owner is fantastic with her communication and Sandy who upkeeps the cabin, lives nearby and is so friendly, welcoming and helpful. Iâm ready to go back!! I miss it already.
My spouse and I enjoyed our anniversary trip. The listing was very accurate. The cabin was in a peaceful location and we only had 2 neighbors. The 3 mile dirt road was a little tricky at night. If there had been snow on the ground a 4x4 would have been needed. The thought process of everything we were going to need was on point. The only thing is there wasnât a dishwasher which was ok for 2 guests. We will definitely book again this summer or fall.
This cabin is so cozy, we had a minor issue after checking in that was out of the host control but im only saying this because the host was on top of it. They had the issue fixed before we ever made it back from dinner! Great host and beautiful cabin !
The home was excellent and had everything we needed to cook in and all of the toiletries. It was very cozy. The hot tub was hot and clean! The host was gracious and easy to work with. The cabin was several miles off a narrow dirt road and there wasn't much to do around there.... The main concern was that based on the photos we expected a large fishing Creek in the backyard which did not exist. It's mainly just a home in the woods but if that's what you're looking for this is the place!
The cabin was exactly what we wanted a expected. Very coperative and friendly owner. Very remote area and a long gravel drive with occasional loss of cell as owner had stated.phone reception
Had a great stay! If you want to relax refresh and just have peace, this is for you! Only 20min from town but fills like you are hours from the world!
Would stay again for sure!
The cabin was clean and very peaceful. The stream flows way below the cabin, but you can hear it clearly early in the morning or in the evening. We enjoyed the hot tub and s'mores by the fire in the evenings!
There are no trout anywhere in the creek, even at the pullouts on the road. Also, the neighbors go back and forth on 4 wheelers and trucks, and have created large ruts in the road leading to the cabin. It was even challenging for our 4x4! We have never stayed in a VRBO cabin/house where we had to haul away our own garbage. I would suggest lowering your cleaning fee if your cleaners are not taking care of garbage too. It is not fair to the guests to be strapped with the additional cost and the haul away.
Olga made everything so easy and comfortable. It was clean, really enjoyed the fireplace on the cool evenings. and we had a restful time. The road there is a bit challenging for us flat landers! (people from Florida) But once you are there it is a very peaceful place.
Thank you Olga,
The best cabin and location for a peaceful beautiful get away!!
This cabin was located in the perfect location for what me, my son and father were looking for. The creek that runs along the road to the cabin is absolutely beautiful and yes we caught a good amount of trout. I definitely recommend driving slow with windows down and enjoy the beautiful sounds the creek has to offer. The pull off spots are near some great fishing spots. I have a 4wd vehicle but Twas not needed whatsoever.
The cabin was so cozy, clean and comfortable. The kitchen is very well stocked with normal household items. Beds are comfortable and even the pull out couch was comfy. Hot tub was a huge bonus to the whole experience. We had a great variety of beautiful song birds visiting the feeders which was nice to relax and watch while hearing the creek nearby.
The locals are very friendly but provide privacy. Iâve stayed at several cabins and this one by far was my favorite. Felt home sick after leaving!! Thank you Olga for your wonderful hospitality and beautiful trout creek getaway. Will be booking again soon.
We arrived at the beautiful cabin and check in with ease. The directions given were spot on. We enjoyed the scenery, the hottub, the fire put, and the sounds of nature. Its the perfect place to get away if you just want to relax.
Murphy is nearby, but it is a very small town with not many attractions. We did visit the farners market, antique shops, walked the river walk, saw the art gallery, and visited the brewery.
I do wish the creek at the house was more accessible because we were looking forward to enjoying getting in.
Overall we had a great time!
Beautiful cabin with a great porch. Jacuzzi is as already on and clean upon arrival. The owner even left 2 laundry pods for our use as well. Bedrooms were big and bathrooms had shampoo, conditioner and soap available which was a nice touch. My son who is three was so excited over the books for kids that were there as well. Great stay and owner was quick to respond and accommodate. Roads were no bad at all. They are dirt so you just have a drive a little slower. It was a pretty drive with the creek running down along the road. The patio was private along with a great fire pit with chairs down stairs.
The place was clean. Beds were decent. Hot tub was nice! A little hard to find. For future guests, once you see Pounding Mill Rd sign, continue going up the mountain. Go between 2 gates (even the one with no trespassing signs). House will be on the right.
