SOLCASA Retreats

Damien was nothing short of a top tier host. He demonstration professionalism, kindness, excellent communication and insight. This gave my family a seamless stay! We visited during a rare NC snow storm, so we did not get to enjoy the outdoors but the property looked wonderful from the window. Nice weather would be an extra treat at this place! We did although enjoy the fireplace at night! Damien’s place was great for us and had everything we needed as well as great small detailing that made it even better! This is a secluded spot but yet right off the highway! If youre considering booking in Franklin, you can book with confidence with him!

Place was amazing! Super clean and the property was just as the pictures. Super low key( felt nice and quite in the woods) but close enough to everything in town to make it feel very homey. Would come back and recommend to anyone trying to explore the area!

Super responsive host! The location is secluded and just far enough out of town. The setting is beautiful with the backyard being the star of the show. We ate many meals back there! When we checked in there was a whole home stereo playing jazz music and we definitely made use of that feature. You won’t be disappointed with this stay. Longer stays get discounts too so that was an easy decision

One of the prettiest and most spacious properties where we have ever stayed. The views were spectacular and the sound of the large flowing creek was calming. Since the location was isolated, but safe, the nighttime stars were breathtaking. The house was clean and comfortable and the gas fireplace was perfect on those cool mornings and evenings. We, and our dogs who had 4 acres to run safely, will return. Warm regards, Sally Chase & Michael Lubin Emma & Bear

Loved our stay, and Damien was very hospitable!

Damien was so helpful and communicative the entire time. He went out of his way to ensure we were comfortable and everything was to our liking. The house is perfect and efficient and has everything you need. The creek was so beautiful and peaceful. The yard was nice and private and our dog loved romping around with the kids. There is a highway right next to the property although above the property so you don’t have to worry about kids/dogs getting into the road. Was a bit more road noise than anticipated but honestly was barely noticeable once we settled in. And it made for being super convenient to town and restaurants :). We really enjoyed our stay and would come back!

The home was absolutely beautiful. It was secluded, quiet, and close enough to the highway so there was easy access to town. The speaker system welcomed us with soft jazz upon entry. It was a short drive to town for groceries and easy access to the gem mines for those hunting treasure. With thick trees on three sides and a creek to the back-our dogs quickly acclimated to the property boundaries and ran and played untill they were ready for naps. We took our camp chairs to the creek one afternoon and sat in the water soaking tired toes in the cool water. The outdoor area was fantastic with both a charcoal and gas grill, and a beautiful screened in porch for evening dinners outside (minus the bugs). The hosts really thought of everything from spices, condiments, and cookware-there was very little we needed to supply. The beds were extremely comfortable and the internet was fast and reliable. Damien and his staff stayed in constant contact during the arrival of Hurricane Helene.

This place is nestled perfectly at the intersection of 2 small creeks with the main creek running right beside the house. The views and sounds of the water are incredible from the spacious decks, the hot tub and even from within the house. The living, dining and kitchen spaces are perfectly laid out. (The girls on our trip especially loved that the couch was so cozy and large enough for us all!) All the beds are super comfy with nice linens and lots of pillows and blankets. The house is well provisioned with everything you can think of and more. We will definitely come back!!!

Such a beautiful home and location. You were such a wonderful host. Thank you again for hosting our stay, we will definitely be back

Beautiful home and amazing location. Damien is a first class host.

If you are intrigued by Creekside Basecamp, look no further. You have just stumbled upon one of the most magical, peaceful places you will find. You are embraced by the mountains, and the creeks sing to you all night long. Leave your troubles outside the front door. The home is immaculate, inviting, cozy and warm. The kitchen is fully stocked including a rice cooker and 5 qt crock pot. The beds are comfy and there are plenty of extra blankets to snuggle up with by the fireside. The Rhododendron are always green and if you listen the birds are always singing. You have an amazing gracious host that is attentive and lets you know that you matter, this is rare. Damien’s attention to details can be felt throughout the home and your stay.

Our stay at Damien’s cabin was amazing! We were a group of girlfriends on a much-needed getaway, and this home was everything we hoped for and more. From the moment we arrived, we felt completely at ease and immersed in the peacefulness of the place. The cabin itself is spacious, beautifully designed, and very clean. One of the highlights was the deck overlooking the rushing water below. Sitting out there with our morning coffee, listening to the soothing sounds of the stream, was pure bliss. In the evenings, despite the cold weather, we loved soaking in the hot tub under the stars, chatting and laughing while letting the warm water melt away any stress. We are looking to book it again in the future. 😊

we enjoyed our stay so much. it was so peaceful and relaxing. the house is cozy and clean and feels like you belong the minute you walk in. there are games and movies and in the kitchen there are dishes and basic condiments and spices and everything works and is clean and updated. we are looking at booking again in the future not only this property but some of Damien's other properties as well. he was an excellent host! 10/10 will definitely stay again.

This was my second visit and I’m planning my third! All the comforts and attention to detail here! The setting is amazing! I wish I could rate it 10 stars! Thank you for sharing your slice of heaven with us! We are so grateful and we will be back!

This Airbnb is an absolute gem! The home is beautiful and cozy with all the amenities you could possibly need and the outside is absolutely breathtaking! Hearing the peaceful flow of the water through your our stay and being able to enjoy it outside on the deck was just perfect. Damien was also one of if not the best host I’ve ever worked with. He was kind, incredibly responsive and and absolute pleasure to work with. There were really no troubles at all but Damien went out of his way to make us feel safe, supported and free to enjoy his beautiful home! I’d recommend this home in a heartbeat and if he has other properties, I would recommend working with Damien any time!

We had a great family getaway.. the home is perfect for enjoying nature and close enough to Franklin to dine at some great restaurants!

Beautiful, clean and comfortable home. We will definitely book again when we are in the area. Damien was very responsive, and home was as described.

great location

We stayed here for a motorcycle trip and it was a great place to stay. Well maintained and had everything we needed. I would highly recommend this place to anyone.

Creekside Waterview was an amazing place to stay! It was so beautiful and peaceful on the outside and so clean and spacious on the inside! Damien is very friendly and responsive! We would definitely come back!

Damien is a great host!! This is my third stay at his properties. i will continues to book with him whenever possible.

We had a great stay at Damien's home. The home was spacious and cozy. The home had everything we needed and included bathroom essentials. Damien gave a lot of helpful information ahead of time with recommendations for.places to visit in Franklin and options for groceries. Damien was very responsive and accommodating. We hope to return another time and enjoy longer.
