Beautiful home!
Our family had a wonderful experience in this beautiful home. It is pet friendly, in a gated community, and sits on a beautiful creek that can be enjoyed while toasting marshmallows and enjoying the quiet sounds of nature. This home has a fully stocked kitchen with very comfortable linens in both bedeooms. My 2 favorite spots were the outdoor patio with gas fireplace and the fire pit by the creek. (My boys would say their favorite spot was the hot tub) You must drive to access the boat slip. Also the water levels from Sept-June are significantly lower than during the summer months (almost 100 feet lower) Check current water levels if you plan to rent a boat. NOC is a short drive and you can access these grounds through a gate about 1.5 miles away from the house. If you prefer to eat some meals out, Bryson city has a few casual restaurants. We ate most of our meals in. The house has a gas grill as well. We would most definitely give this home 5 stars. We will go back. Thanks for sharing your home with us!!

The best property we've had in 10 years!
We prefer higher-end, well appointed vacation properties. Whether we're staying in the Smokies or the Rockies, we love long distance views. However, this time we decided to stay lower because Watia Creekside seemed SOOO appealing. And it did not disappoint. The creek makes this property shine, and the screened in porch with its own fireplace, the firepit built along the creek, the super comfy family room and huge kitchen, and hot tub with a view of the stars all helped make this our favorite rental in a long time (and we've been to some GOOD ones!) The property manager had great communication, too. Finally, the private road leads up over the mountain and down to the Nantahala Outdoor Center, which supercharged our vacation. We whitewater rafted with an amazing guide, zip lined, and rode horseback all within 15 minutes of the property. In the end, I cannot stop thinking about the screened in porch as I sat and enjoyed the creek sounds and night breezes with the fireplace on, every night this week. We WILL be back.

Great Getaway
This was a great property. The house and grounds were very clean and nice. We loved the fire pit on the creek bank, the screen porch with fireplace and the hot tub. The property was very well taken care of and it had everything we needed.

Incredible Mountain Getaway
If you want to relax and get away from it all in a luxurious and comfortable mountain retreat, we highly recommend Watia Creekside. It was definitely hard to leave this lovely home - well equipped kitchen, comfy master suite, hot tub, stream, fire pit, indoor and outdoor fireplaces - it had everything we needed for a tranquil mountain getaway. The home is super nice, but not "fussy", and it was very pet friendly - our dog Sadie had a blast. Easy access to so many great spots to hike. Exactly what we were hoping for!

Awesome place
My husband and I are fairly frequent travelers. This place was without question- a top 5 stay for us. One of the most peaceful, tranquil, beautiful places we’ve escaped too. We will definitely be back.
