About this property

The Cottage on Clarks Creek welcomes you. Jyoti and Michael’s newly built, secluded abode is nestled in the woods just steps away from an immaculate watershed creek. The lodge consists of 2 bedrooms, 1 full bath with not only a shower but separate jacuzzi tub, plus another ½ bathroom. The kitchen is equipped with all the appliances.

On the property, for your use, is a creekside, fully screened in, (not kid friendly) meditation room that is suspended right above the flowing water. The perfect spot to relax, have a meal or morning coffee. Mountain water flows through the creek making it pristine for fishing, rock stacking or floating. The Appalachian trail and Fly Fishing areas are around 1 mile from the property.

Between your getaway and the creek lives two fireplaces, one large stone fireplace with built-in seating, and the other is a smaller creekside fireplace.

Jyoti and Michael created a quiet, zen space intended for a romantic and relaxing getaway, we live next to the cottage. We will respect your privacy. If you are looking to party this is not the place for you.

Hershey Park is 28 miles and 35 minutes drive from the cottage..

Great Harrisburg Vrbo experience

This two bed / two bath home is really well done. Everything has recently been renovated, the kitchen is perfectly stocked, wifi is great and its very comfortable. (Michael and Jyoti were great communicators as well.) The home is about 20 minutes from Harrisburg which was very convenient. We recommend Boro Bar and Grill on Front street for a great view of the river at sunset and some local craft beer.

Lovely and Peaceful

Our family (3 people) stayed over Thanksgiving weekend, it was the perfect place, such a peaceful, and serene setting. We had a full kitchen to cook and eat a big meal. Plus there was enough space for each of us do our own thing and not be on top of each other. The place was very clean, and the kitchen well stocked with utensils, cookware, etc. Would highly recommend.

Serenity

This home was absolutely amazing in every way. Laid out very well inside the house - and out. Truly enjoyed the peacefulness of the stream, the meditation room, the local hikes and of course - the local ice cream. Our hosts even offered to bring us fresh baked cookies and gelato. Amazing experience - I will definitely be back again!

Wonderful property

The cottage has a great layout with a roomy kitchen, baths and bedrooms. Beds are comfortable and linens are soft and cozy. Lots of storage space. We really enjoyed the location - we went fishing, bike riding and hiking. The property is spacious so you can walk around and also enjoy a few different seating areas. The creekside meditation room is totally cool! Much bigger than I expected with a surprise inside! Great for happy hour or morning workouts and reading time during the day. The owners have thought of many personal touches that enhance the cottage and the property. We opted in for a home cooked meal and were not disappointed! We hope to be able to return again.

Wicked Amazing Getaway

If you are looking to relax from everyday craziness this cottage is the place you want to be. Fabulous location and the grounds are well maintained. The owners are wonderful people. They are helpful, friendly, caring. Good people. The Cottage has everything you need. If it doesn’t - just reach out to the owners. They will have it or get it for you. We just wished our vacation was longer and we got to spend more time there. Wicked AMAZING place.

My family needed a 2-bedroom place to stay while helping my mother in Halifax with a project. This property was clean, convenient (compared with staying in Harrisburg) and just what we needed. The setting was so lovely, private and peaceful. Michael was friendly and helpful and not intrusive.
