Even better than expected!!!
We had a spectacular time at the property. It was extremely clean and comfortable with everything you could need and more! Didn’t think our teens would kayak, however the loved it, and had so much fun. It’s close to everything, yet far enough removed and peaceful. The beds were extremely comfortable, even more so than expected!!! Would absolutely book again without question.

Yellow Breeches Creek
This is in a great location and wonderful water area. Kayaking was so peaceful. The house had washer and dryer which was very convenient. Dishwasher. Only use to Keurig so going back to a full pot was a little wasteful though. I wish I would have brought extra one to leave there. Bike there we enjoyed to so we could see the area around. Boiling springs is beautiful. So many things close by Stacey made me feel like I was home and she was part of my family. I’ve been telling everyone and recommending this place. We would stay again but longer next time.

About the host

Hosted by Stacey Kalmanovitz

Host profile image
Hi I'm Stacey and I grew up in Boiling Springs (in this house). My husband and I live in California but like to spend time back here when we can. Most weekends you will find us at the beach or going to see live music. We have 3 dogs, we are dog people and we love hosting well-behaved fur babies.

I love hosting because it gives me a chance to share the magic of Boiling Springs, the Yellow Breeches Creek, and this home with the world.

Why they chose this property

This neighborhood is surrounded by nature and it forces you to slow down a bit. You can sit with your coffee watching blue herons and egrits in our yard, watch the trout jump in the creek, listen to the birds and at night, the owls. Occasionally, you will see snapping turtles, deer, and even a bald eagle. This is the ultimate place to get away and enjoy some calm. I had an idyllic childhood spending HOURS playing outside here.

What makes this property unique

My parents converted the house from a one-bedroom fishing cabin to an A-frame 3 bedroom with two loft-style bedrooms on either side. It's truly unique for families to get together in the large living room and porch but still have separate privacy of their own bedroom spaces. We want others to feel at home here which is why the kitchen is stocked with amenities for cooking, we have many board games (for rainy days), and 4 kayaks to take on the creek. This is a place to come together.
