Given Creekmont's tranquil setting, some may find it surprising that it is also within driving distance of some of the Southeast's largest cities. The accessibility factor is key for many who aren't able to enjoy the luxuries offered by full-time residence. The region surrounding Creekmont also boasts some of the largest attractions in the entire state of North Carolina. The Asheville city corridor, roughly one hour away, provides access to an unlimited number of cultural opportunities, including the famed Biltmore House. In just over 30 miles, you arrive at the boundary of Great Smoky Mountain National Park. America's most visited park provides numerous ways to enjoy the great outdoors, including more than 800 miles of maintained trails for hiking, wildlife viewing, fishing and picnicking. Less than half an hour from Creekmont's entrance is the city of Cherokee, a vibrant society committed to preserving the traditions of native Cherokee life while offering many modern luxuries. Live entertainment venues attract some of the best acts in the country, casinos offer welcome distractions for those looking to try their luck, and workshops provide learning opportunities the whole family can enjoy.
