Fabulous cabin. We’ve never seen such a well-stocked kitchen. Everything was set up in a way that made us feel welcome and comfortable. Among other things, we enjoyed the fire pit near the stream and found a wonderful hike nearby. Thank you Ellen for being such a thoughtful host!

Wonderful relaxing get away

This is such a great place to stay when visiting the area. We spent allot of time in Black Mountain and Montreat because my husband went to college there, but might just come back and stay in or around the cabin. Our kids loved the creek and hot tub. We also enjoyed a hike and had friends over to grill. Everything is just right to have a great family weekend.

Our family had a great stay! The house was spacious, clean, and welcoming, and Ellen was very communicative and accommodating. Old Fort was a great location for us to be able to explore different areas like Asheville, Black Mountain/Montreat, and the Lake James area. We loved having a fire pit and a deck next to the water, too. We hope to be back!

The pictures of the cottage does noy do it justice. It is absolutely beautiful! My family enjoyed playing in the creek, lounging in the hot tub, and just sitting on the deck with a cup of coffee listening to the creek. The beds were also comfortable. All the little extras were just amazing. Highly recommend!

Perfect creekside rental

Jarrett Creek Cottage is delightful. It is beautifully appointed, well equipped, very clean and Ellen, the owner, was very friendly and responsive. We couldn't have asked for more. My 4 children had a blast playing in the creek and exploring the adjacent acreage. If we return to the area, we would absolutely stay there again and highly recommend it for families.

We had an absolute blast at this lovely home. We spent a tremendous amount of time outdoors sitting by the stream, in the hot tub, or by the fire. This house is comfortable, clean, and well stocked.

5-star stay from top to bottom. Great location, perfect host, awesome house - old farmhouse feel, cozy, but nicely updated and laid out well. Great room and hot tub overlook babbling creek, bank of rhododendron and patio with grill and fire pit. There are lots of nearby hiking/biking trails, shops in Black Mountain and local grocery and taverns. We loved it!

Summer Vacation

We had a wonderful relaxing stay at Jarret Creek Cottage this week. The property is gorgeous and spotless. The first night there we decided to make a home cooked meal which was ready in a snap as all cooking essentials are there at your disposal. While visiting we went to Asheville to explore, rented a pontoon boat on Lake James and went fishing with the Catawba Angler. In the evening we would sit outside and listen to the creek or relax in the hot tub. It was a wonderfully relaxing trip !

If you're thinking of staying somewhere else in this area don't. This place is absolutely amazing, and so peaceful. Ellen (the host) is the best host I've ever had. She was so helpful and accommodating. I stayed here with my girlfriend and sister and they both absolutely loved it. It borders a bunch of trails and some small towns that are great to visit. Both Hillmans brewery and Whaleys are great. Definitely visit Black Mountain, coolest little mountain town around. We will definitely be back.
