Tucked along a magical creek in the heart of Appalachia, Huffman Creek Retreat is home to seven unique cabins ready to be the basecamp for your next mountain getaway. Come join us as you walk along our miles of private hiking trails, kick up your feet in a creekside hammock, and gather around the campfire. Just minutes from the world famous Tail of the Dragon, the sweeping views along the Cherohala Skyway, the pristine waters of Lake Santeetlah, and a short drive to the Great Smoky Mountains National Park, you'll only wish you could stay a few days longer. From weekend getaways to week-long rentals, solo trips to group gatherings of many travelers, we can't wait to help you plan your trip to Huffman Creek Retreat.
Welcome to America's most exclusive mountain preserve.
Pet Friendly
Yes, we are absolutely pet friendly and we can't wait to welcome your pup. No size restrictions. Just be sure to pack a leash and plan for lots of time splashing in the creek. We'll even set out some special towels for your pup for after their adventures.
The Experience
If relaxing in a rocking chair and reading a good book is your kind of outdoorsy, we've got you covered. If sipping champagne in a floral dress by the fire is your kind of adventure, we're ready. If hiking through the day, fishing for dinner, and enjoying that meal over the fire and under the stars is your kind of woodsy, we can handle that, too. Whatever the experience you're looking for, we can't wait to help you plan your perfect getaway.
Family Friendly
If you're looking for time away from screens, gathered around the table as a family playing board games, hunting for salamanders in the creek, and hiking together to explore all the excitement of the forest, then this is the spot for you. And don't forget to ask us about ziplining, white water rafting, and lake day excursions.
Wellness & Relaxation
We invite your to bring along your yoga mats and prepare for the most serene, meditative backdrops along the creek, in our meditation platform on the trail, and to make your own space of zen right outside your cabin space. Soak in the tub with our handmade Wehrloom Honey Soaps and indulge in a piping hot cup of small batch roasted Little River Coffee Co. coffee.
Great for Groups
Come one, come all! Huffman Creek Retreat can host up to 55 guests in our 7 unique cabins. From dreamy forest weddings to unplugged corporate retreats and even family reunions, we love welcoming groups for time along the creek. We're happy to provide a list of vendors for your next big event.
