Amazing Mountain Cabin

We stayed at the cabin for a girls weekend and the cabin was perfect! There are plenty of comfortable beds, lounging areas, a warm wood stove, and just an overall cute, cozy cabin. The communication with the host was great and he even made sure the road, driveway and stairs were cleared of snow for us. We will definitely be back!

Fabulous get away

Magical stay! Lucky enough to get snow the day before and the roads were all cleared for our drive up. House initially cold, but warmed up quickly with the fire going. Comfy beds, plenty of towels, many options for seating and playing. Plenty of beds to choose from. Overall, fabulous stay and will definitely return!

Great Creekside Cabin

We had a great stay here. The kids loved having the creek in the backyard and the tire swing. It is in a great location, we were able to quickly drive into town whenever we wanted to. Very quiet neighborhood. We had no issues at all, and would stay here again.

Family Fun at Creekside Cabin

We thoroughly enjoyed our family reunion (ages 6- 79) at Creekside! The property is so beautiful, peaceful, and spacious. The sound of the creek at night was very restful. The younger kids loved the swings, and the older kids all the gaming options! We all enjoyed the spa at night, and also spotted shooting stars.We had a lovely time; thanks so much to hosts for sharing!

Board Retreat

We rented this property for our annual board retreat of our nonprofit. We choose somewhere to go that is quiet, inspiring, comfortable, and convenient to the board members for travel. We also needed accommodations that would provide separate bedrooms. This property was perfect. The surroundings outside were beautiful and inside we had comfortable places to relax And also lots of space to meet together and brainstorm our goals for the coming year. We had everything we needed. The owner was very responsive and helpful when we discovered that we left an item at the property. He mailed the item back to us! We are looking forward to staying here again for our next retreat.
