Hosts responded almost immediately to all my questions. Pictures do not do justice for this view from this place. Property sits directly across from Tumbling creek with a majestic view of the river and mountains, which you can enjoy from the warmth of the kitchen table or enjoy the mountain air from the beautiful deck. As soon as you walk in the door you get a welcoming mountain vibe. We decided not to bring our furry family members on this trip, but the home was well equipped to accommodate them. The weather this week covered the spectrum of the thermometer with lows in the 20's and highs in the 40's one day and highs in the upper 70's the next, but it was not an issue with both central heating and a gas fireplace to enjoy. Property was extremely clean and had all the amenities one would need when staying away from home. The property is located very close to the entrance to Laurel bed lake, which is a must to visit you are here. If the opportunity exists, will we definitely try to stay here again.
The owner really thought of everything. The house was beautifully decorated inside to match the rural setting. We loved the location because it was right in the middle of the places we wanted to visit: Virginia Creeper Trail in Damascus, Hungry Mother State Park, the Channels Natural Area Preserve, and Abingdon.
Nice little house on a stream. Nice white noise. Water heater is a little small and internet goes out every once in a while. Peaceful and quiet area. Old but upkept house.
We had a great stay here! Clean and comfortable cabin and a nice deck to sit and relax while enjoying the sights and sounds of the creek. Easy check-in.
GPS in the area was spotty for us, so it might be helpful to save or print your directions before you arrive.
The interior remodeling and decor was really well done, especially considering what was there originally. The sound of the creek was like soothing white noise, couldn't even hear the rain. I wish yard areas were larger though. We loved having our morning coffee out on the deck while listening to the creek.
Such a nice property! It is completely updated, new, clean and nicely decorated. We were able to do lots of hiking and come home to a comfy place. The beds and pillows were also comfy. I highly recommend this.
The perfect place to hang with my sister and nieces before and after our ride on the Creeper Trail. Thank you so much! My senior lab also loved being able to join us. Thank you even more for being pet friendly!
Our stay at Creekberry was very relaxing. They provided a clean and comfortable place for us and our dog Stella. Rarely will you find the level of amenities and hospitality that we received. Just take your food and enjoy the super clean home and the deck to enjoy the beautiful area and listening to the creek. Would definitely stay again if we find ourselves in the area.
We have stayed in many rental houses from different companies and this was by far one of the nicest ones we have ever stayed in. Well stocked and very comfortable. FYI if you have a fear of spiders, be warned they love the front door. We will definitely stay here again when we come back to southwestern virginia.
It was the perfect home base for our visit to the state parks. It was cute and cleanly, plenty of room for more than just us two. We went to Grayson highlands state park and saw the wild ponies. It was also central of multiple other state parks like hungry mother, breaks interstate, natural tunnel, wilderness road, and clinch river. We loved listening to the sound of the creek while we had our morning coffee. Would absolutely stay again in the summer.
The location was great secluded but with a few other house around. Right next to a creek you can fish or play in. The house was very clean and had everything we needed; bedding, dishes, cleaning supplies, and even coffee. There were even a few board games and coloring books for the kids. And the checkers table was a big hit as well.
Once we figured out the panel on the front door was the keypad that needed a firm touch when pressing the code, everything else was smooth sailing. Perfectly stocked with everything one would need for a getaway—all you need to bring is food and drinks. The large old Bible was a precious find, and I enjoyed leafing through that. Hey, Google provided tunes of our choosing, and the internet was a lifesaver as cell service is basically nonexistent (at least with my carrier T-Mobile). Nice cabin to getaway in, do a little work, relax and enjoy the sounds of nature!
The listing was secluded, which is exactly what I was looking for. The house was clean and well maintained and had almost everything needed. The reason for one overall four-star rating though was that it was not disclosed until the end of the booking process that a large security deposit or a purchase of a separate insurance policy was required to book it in addition to the normal costs. Additionally, it was not disclosed to that the property is for sale, which caused me to worry that my reservation would be cancelled if it sold.
Our visit was originally planned for a fun getaway. However, shortly after I booked there was a death in the family. So our Creekberry stay became a time and place for reflection, love and grieving. The constant roar of the water was just what we needed. So relaxing and healing.
The house was immaculate. Every detail is attended to. Our dogs also loved the stay. They did not want to come inside and I think they’d still be on the deck if they could. We got to meet several neighbors down the road on our morning walks and they were friendly welcoming. Highly recommend.
Property was very nice and we brought our dogs. Only issue is there is little yard space for them to run around and you must be careful they don't run out in the road because cars drive very fast there. The creek was beautiful and nature too just be prepared to drive at least 30 min to 1 hour to any stores or hiking places. House was very pretty ..would recommend an L shap e d couch in family room and put a flush mounted light in the "dining room" area as it hangs too low for tall people and put a sleeper sofa there instead. All in all great house, deck, river, and nature. We had a really nice stay.
Exactly as advertised. Quaint and so comfortable! If I could give 10 stars for location and cleanliness I would have. The view and sounds from the newly built decks overlooking Big Tumbling Creek had us spending almost all of our time outdoors. Nothing like being able to catch Rainbow Trout within 100’ of the house too. So many things to do between Clinch Mtn WMA right around the corner and The Channels within minutes, if you are into the outdoors like we are l, this is the place. Coming back in the fall if at all possible.
We wanted a place to relax that was sort of centrally located to various places we wanted to see in the area. The house was very clean and newly renovated, the showers were lovely, and the beds were comfortable. We went to Bristol, Mt rogers, Grayson Highlands, Hungry Mother state park, Logan falls, and did the Creeper Trail. We wanted to do the great channels but our toddler was really done with our adventures by the end. We relaxed on the porch overlooking the creek— which was nice because the back porch was gated to contain our daughter. We got groceries in Saltville and also had a couple of meals in Marion at the Wooden Pickle. It was a really nice trip. Would definitely come back.
*Sigh* I’m writing this review as we head home after the most relaxing of weekends at Creekberry! The sound of the creek was just the start of so many zen-like experiences set up at this mountain getaway. The beautiful home, cozy bed and snuggly couch all helped us have the relaxing weekend we were searching for. Talking to the property owner was easy and they easily answered all of our questions. This kitchen is fully stocked, making meal prep a breeze! Being pet friendly I was so pleased at how much it did NOT show pet wear or smells. It was nice to bring the dogs on this vacation! We will be back soon for more rest and relaxation.

Why they chose this property
We were guests in May and fell in love with the area. Just so happened the first day of our stay was also the day it went on the market. So you could say we loved it so much we bought the place.
What makes this property unique
Upon arrival, the roar of Tumbling Creek will make guests stop to listen. There's a calm in the nature and beauty at Creekberry.
