About this property

Juniper Creek Cottage- on 10 acres with a creek!

Unplug and reconnect with what really matters at this unique and tranquil getaway. During your Juniper Creek Cottage stay, you will enjoy some of the original charm and details of the updated 1950s home, along with the beauty and excitement of nature just outside the doors. Enjoy a cup of coffee on the front porch while watching the horses play across the street. Follow the babble of the creek, just steps behind the house. Explore local trails at the nearby Blackwater Forrest State Park.

This is a beautiful home built in 1950. The home sits on the front of the 10 acres, with Juniper Creek running through the middle of the property. We have worked to keep the home’s original charm, by exposing the stick built vaulted ceilings and heart pine floors, and refinishing the original claw foot tub. The ceilings are not enclosed (see photos). Many of the furnishings in the home are original to the time period in which the home was built. If you see something you like, it just might be for sale! Message the host to ask about pricing. Originally there was no central heat and air in the home so we installed a mini split unit, which heats and cools the home. There are additional fans and heaters in each bedroom, if needed. The bedrooms tend to get warmer in the summer and colder in the winter. The kitchen boasts its original cabinets, with a new butcher block top. There is a vintage style mid-sized refrigerator, a full size stove/oven, microwave, and drip coffee maker. There are additional kitchen items. The bathroom boasts a beautifully restored claw foot tub. We have high speed WiFi available via Starlink. There is a smart TV available in the living room. You can also stream to your own devices, using our high speed internet. The cell and internet service is great. There are books and games available, as well as plenty to enjoy outside. There is a shower nozzle that can be used in the tub as well. The intent of this property is to be a place to unplug and connect with one another and with nature.

There is a wooden picnic table and small charcoal grill on one side of the house. On that same side of the house, there is a nice fire pit area. Perfect for enjoying the outdoors!

The wooded area at the back of the house is where you will find signs directing you to Juniper Creek. The trail leads to two rustic wooden benches at the creek. The benches and signs are made from cedar trees harvested from the property. Breathe in the fresh air and smell of cedars while listening to the creek flow!

There are many deer, raccoons, squirrels, and rabbits that roam freely throughout the property.

Quaint stay by the creek

Perfect spot for a night away from the noise. Quiet spot at the end of a street and near the creek.

Private location but cannot recommend due to unsafe and unsanitary conditions. Dirty sheets!

I regretfully have to say that our stay at this VRBO was extremely disappointing. The biggest concern is that the sheets were visibly used, dirty, with hair and bugs and dirt on the top and fitted sheets (we have pictures) and bedding. It was gross and unsanitary and we ended up sleeping on top of a blanket on top of the bed. Disgusting. The property was in unacceptable condition, and I feel compelled to share my experience.The floor had holes allowing outside air and bugs nto enter the home. It was cold overnight and we tried to use the space heaters which didn't provide much heat and blew the fuses making us feel unsafe, so we had to turn them off. The concern over electrical and fire issues made this an even more stressful stay. The lack of ceilings in the home or between rooms allowed every sound to be heard by everyone, severely compromising privacy and rest.The bathroom was not functional—there was no shower curtain, no drain stop, and not even a shower head bracket to hold the shower head, making it impossible to properly use the tub or shower. Pillows flat and worn out. Kitchen items dirty. Unsafe outlets. Kitchen sponge was gross. We cleaned up dead roaches from kitchen. Cleaning and maintenance of the property were sorely lacking and we just cannot recommend that anyone risk their health or safety to stay here. We left as soon as we were able with minimal sleep and no bath or shower and wer're on to clean off the "yuck" of this stay.

Overall okay

We loved the charm and rustic, but feel that it lacked in bed comfyness and trash was still in the trash can outside from previous ppl. Overall house was pretty clean, and air conditioner worked very well.

Nice quiet weekend in nature

This little home was cozy and pretty comfortable. We liked it was pet friendly and secluded. The price is good and the host easy to work with. There are some neat furnishings there that give the home a 1950s era feel. Not exactly as specified in the listing but we did enjoy our stay.

Lovely escape to nature

I enjoyed staying in this cute, quiet house with my kids as a way to get away (but not too far away) from our busy lives. Kids enjoyed exploring by the creek and watching the horses. Host was great with communication, we had no issues.

About the host

Hosted by Kaitlyn Pooley

Host profile image
Hello from the beautiful sunshine state! We were born and raised in the panhandle of Florida and are proud to call it our home. We are grateful to share this little slice of heaven with you!

Why they chose this property

Our family purchased this property at the end of 2020. We fell in love with it as soon as we walked around the woods and saw the creek. 2020 was a difficult year and we found peace and rest in nature. Our hope for Juniper Creek Cottage is that it will always be a place of rest and rejuvenation for everyone who visits. We hope you have the best experience possible. We have added some of our favorite local spots for dining and exploring. Feel free to ask questions!

What makes this property unique

Unplugged. Surrounded by nature. Too many cedar trees to count. Remote. Peaceful. An opportunity to take a step away from the hustle and bustle.
