Homey Cabin on a Trout Stocked Creek. Sleeps 4.

Description from the owner

Alarka Creek Cabins is located just three miles from Bryson City - voted by National Geographic as the best gateway-town to the Smokies! We are easily accessible to all major highways and activities. We are located on three acres with a large trout stream dividing the grounds that are beautifully landscaped with large trees, lush flower gardens, water features and rustic charm. The sounds of the rushing river will soothe your senses and awaken you to the beauty of the mountains! Whether casting a line for trout or just sitting in the rocking chairs on the creekside deck, you'll soon be enveloped by the natural serenity of Alarka.

The... White Oak Cabin is just at the creek’s edge. It has a rocking chair back porch and a staircase right down to the creek, with another deck halfway down that has a table for picnicking by the water. It also has a superbly comfortable king size bed and antique furniture in the bedroom and living room. It’s decorated like an enchanted mountain cabin with little touches of the whimsical to make you smile … and even has a rustic old out-house in the garden outside. (Of course there’s a real bathroom inside for your convenience!) :) In addition to the king size bed, the White Oak also has a queen-size sleeper sofa in the living room and a breakfast table in the kitchen. A large old-growth White Oak adds shade to the natural beauty of your surroundings.Read more

Additional Location Information

As soon as you pull into the parking area for the White Oak you will be surrounded by the colorful gardens, the green grass, the old tall trees and the sound of the creek as it rushes over the rocks and sand. We have several gardens on the property which you will want to walk through and enjoy and are surrounded by so many trees that you feel like you are in a forest. As you enter the suite you will be welcomed by a basket of homemade bread, local fruits and chocolates. You won't want to unpack before going out to the porch where there are rockers to rest in and the creek just feet away to dip in. The children will have no trouble entertaining themselves as they play in the water, climb trees, look for rocks or just explore. Trout in the creek are calling you to catch them and a grill awaits for the dinner you will cook and eat at on the table by the creek. There are up to 90 ducks a day which will come right up to you in hope of some crumbs of bread and sometimes you will even catch a glimse of their babies floating or waddling by. Pick a rocker, sit back and relax while you watch the groundhogs and their babies play and roll down the hill as they put on their show in the late afternoon. We have 4 small dogs that love to roam the property so with your permission they might just come for a visit too. There are waterfalls down the creek you can walk to through the creek which is a challange if you are up for one and a bridge on the other end of the creek you can walk under if you have not had enough for the day. God has given us a wonderful property and a wonderful place to live and we know once you have been here you will feel the same way.

  Home away from home...

  Left on 01/10/2013 for a stay in December 2012
  
  

  This is my family's favorite place to be when we aren't at home. It is our home away from home. The open and airy feeling of the suite is just wonderful! There are windows every where allowing the sunlight to shine in and brighten the whole place. In the bedroom you are surrounded with windows and are able to look at and listen to the creek while laying in bed! Talk about relaxing and romantic!! I am in school and to lay in bed and do my studying and homework (free WiFi too!) while looking at the beautiful surroundings is the best! I wish I had that exact room in my house, with the creek of course! I have two children (ages 4 & 5) and they love to play in the creek and run up and down the property.
  
  The owners are so kind and left a cute basket with fresh fruit and chocolate in the suite for us the day we checked in. It was a nice personal touch. They are friendly and easy to talk to and we spent some time just socializing with them.
  
  Overall this is a great place to be when you want to get away, relax, and enjoy the great outdoors without going too far. We just love it there and will keep going back as often as we can!
