The setting is beautiful. I know from my research about the Thorn Creek restoration project some years ago and wow what a success that was. The cottage was so cleanAnd well stocked with everything you could possibly need or want. Can't wait to come back.
Me my girlfriend and her boys enjoyed our stay very much plus would look forward to another stay great location the property manager was very hospitable it's very modern and cozy and I'd suggest this to another family.
Everything about the place exceeded any expectations as compared to other properties in similar settings. Comfortable for 2 couples downstairs (2 rooms) plus 4 beds in the loft for kids or young adults.
The stay at Thorn Creek Cottage was incredible when we arrived there were four deer on the property and we love it we walked into the cottage and it was incredible all wood all over and the place was immaculate we walked down to the Gazebo which was brand new and a fire pit was there we used the fire pit every night and the gazebo every day heard of deer on the property it was incredible I just want to say thank you Jordan for our stay it was the most relaxing stay we've ever had at a VRBO and also the most well-equipped VRBO we've ever stayed at we will also come back again in the future the stream running behind your property was amazing with herds of deer every night thanks again
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.
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
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!
We came for the annual family reunion and enjoyed a lovely home, in a beautiful setting, where everything was peaceful and we had all we needed in a safe area.
Beautiful quiet setting. The sound of small waterfalls and birds was all we heard. Host had everything you could possibly need or want. The BEST place we've stayed so far. Will be back first chance we get.
Our stay was PERFECT!! The home is immaculate, well stocked and very comfortable. The property and the location are absolutely BEAUTIFUL! We had a wonderful stay and I for sure plan to go back! Thank you, Jordan, for sharing your home with us!
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.
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!!
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!!
