About this property

Historic Ox Bow House c.1800 "The Cabin at Muddy Creek"

A cabin in the woods with a hot coffee and warm blanket nestled by a beautiful fire pit overlooking the creek is just what everyone needs to getaway.

The cabin at Muddy Creek is a beautifully restored stone home on 40+ acres with over 4,000 ft of the creek running through it. A perfect getaway for those really looking to get away from the hustle and bustle of every day life. It's whatever you want to make it! Tons of things to get into with the family or a peaceful place to relax and really connect with nature. Not to mention .. pet friendly! We love our furry family members and think they should be included in family vacations as well! Regardless of what you do here, the sound of the running water from the creek that runs through the property really soothes the soul.

Enjoy our property to its full potential .. Have fun spending the day fishing, kayaking (two single kayaks available), tubing (4 tubes available), hiking, or just walking the grounds. The little ones love going into the stream to catch crawdads and salamanders! There is so much fun to be had and plenty of memories to be made here!

If you're more low key, this is the perfect place for you as well! Enjoy the sound of the running water in our adirondack chairs down near the creek and if you're really feeling adventurous, light up a fire in the pit! You could also take a walk over to the tree swing or the bridge and relax with a good book.

We do need to note that this house was built in the 1800s, it for sure was not built the way homes are made today (which obviously makes this home VERY special) The two staircases in the house are narrow and you may need to be careful and possibly have to duck your head a little going up and down. We would say if you have mobility issues you may want to figure out if staying here is the best plan for you.

Amazing property!
I thought we were renting a cute cabin but had no idea about the property itself. The cabin is indeed adorable (and 200 years old!) but also on acres of land, a creek, and it's stunning. The hosts were responsive and thoughtful, and made our stay comfortable. Every detail considered. Highly recommend (but don't tell everyone, we want to be future renters too!).

Wonderful Home - Perfect Relaxation
We loved our stay at this adorable cottage. The private river access and spots to sit along the river were well thought out and gorgeous. The cottage itself was well decorated and felt cozy. They even had a dog run outside, which was perfect. We'd definitely stay here again.

Heaven on earth.
This property was so dreamy! It is situated on a beautiful creekside meadow and the historic stone house has been meticulously renovated. We saw deer and an eagle on the property while there. What a great place to take life easy for awhile!

Amazing Weekend Away
Beautiful property. We had a great weekend with friends tubing, enjoying the property, and exploring the area. Our dogs loved the place. Had an issue with yellow jackets in the dog run, but the owners were super responsive. We plan to come back. If we were to imagine our dream home, it would be this! What a special place!

Birthday Weekend
The cabin at muddy creek couldn’t have been a better choice for a birthday weekend. The property is amazing and gave us the opportunity to completely unplug. It was a great place for our dog Lucy as well with trails and the creek steps from the house. Jodi and Adam were excellent hosts who made the entire check in and check out process seamless and we’re always a text away if need be. We look forward to our next visit.

Splendid!
Our first visit and we hope to return! Inside everything was as listed, and even better than the pics. We were in awe of the detailed millwork, there were luxurious touches everywhere, and the internet worked perfectly. Outside it was a magical oasis. Very private and lots to explore if you’re so inclined. Highly recommend!

A magical escape!
I would give this property more than 5 stars if possible! We were blown away by the property! The grounds were beautiful and having your own private river park for tubing and exploring is priceless. The cabin is perfect- clean and cozy, with all the necessary amenities. The swings, kayaks, and tubes are the icing on the cake. This was my favorite vacation rental so far! We hope to return!

The perfect getaway
We love this magical place, so much that we returned again. The hosts are wonderful and responsive to your needs. It’s clear that they want you to enjoy their special property along Muddy Creek. Everything is perfect in and outside the cabin. It’s just right for both relaxing and adventure. Try the tubes on the creek and the big swing, you won’t regret it!

Had a peaceful stay. Accommodation was convenient. A bit muddy for dogs but the dog run was dry. For an old dog, the stairs were an issue but access to the dog run on the second floor was convenient. Definitely an option if I need to be in town again

Relaxing and Restful Stay
While the photos in the property listing are great, they do not fully illustrate the beauty and grandeur of this house and surrounding property - it’s simply stunning! The cabin is beautifully decorated and cozy and was a perfect setting for a relaxing New Year’s holiday. Our dog enjoyed the fenced in area and exploring the vast grounds, as did we. The sound of the creek that runs through the property is very peaceful and calming. We enjoyed our stay very much and hope to return again - thank you to Jodi and Adam!

Relaxing Weekend at Muddy Creek
There was a lot to explore on the property. We were able to just sit back and enjoy the surroundings. Enjoyed watching a snapping turtle make its way through the yard, a turkey make an appearance, a fawn grab a drink from the creek, a passing heron fly by, and a family of mergansers float by. The house takes you back in time with the luxury of modern amenities. Great chance to recharge. Hosts were more than accommodating.

Unique and cozy!
My family (husband, 1.5year old, and dog) and I had a great time at the cabin! We booked it for a long weekend and planned to go to the Great Wild Lodge water park one day. It was not too far and a perfect location to just get away! The property is beautiful and amazing - my toddler and dog loved exploring. The house is so cozy and unique. Our dog did have trouble going down the stairs once he was up he was too scared to come down, but we just went down with him along the stairs on the side of the house and it was fine! We also had a fantastic experience with the hosts - very communicative and gracious - There was a nice welcome basket upon arrival :) Thanks for an awesome stay!
