Quiet slice of heaven

Beautiful grounds with easy access to the creek. Quaint, well kept cottage with the comforts and conveniences of home. Remote enough to feel private, but less than 20 minutes to town.

Great home in a fantastic setting!!

We rented for an extended weekend to enjoy the area and have some quiet time. This house and setting were just what we needed. Waking up to the sound of the stream was peaceful. The home was filled with more amenities and toiletries than we were expecting. Would definitely stay and bring more family next time! Thank you, Chris and Leslie

Wonderful Property!

Our stay at the Thorn Creek Cottage was outstanding! We grilled everynight, spent a lot of time outside in the fabulous yard/surrounding area, and hiked in the connected wilderness area. The kitchen has everything needed and the house and furnishings are beautiful. Our host was very gracious with good communication. Enjoyed our stay very much - thank you!

Family trip

The property and cottage were extremely clean and well kept, and appear much better in person than in the pics. I would highly recommend for anyone looking for a nice, quiet getaway.

Beautiful

We arrived and everything was clean and perfect. Everything you needed was here! Perfect location for the treasure mountain festival. We also used the fire pit out back which was nice! The baby was able to watch her iPad at night to go to sleep with the internet. My family stayed down the road at a campground but I'm not much of a camper. I would recommend this place again!!It was perfect!!

Perfect Weekend!!!

We had a wonderful time during our weekend stay at Thorn Creek Cottage. Our host Jordan went above and beyond to be sure we had a comfortable stay. Everything we could have needed was provided, and there were so many extras that we were so pleased with! Thank you so much for providing information about local events and restaurants!! Jordan stayed in communication with me throughout the reservation process and stay, and everything went so smoothly. The high quality sheets, towels, cookware were way above expectations and the Cottage was very clean. Pictures do not do justice to this peaceful well appointed place!! We were here to visit my son who is working in the area, and we felt right at home here!! We would definitely stay here again!!
