About this property

Creekside - Your family retreat!

Creekside Cottage is the Perfect blend of rustic charm and modern amenities! The unique details and décor both inside and out make this cottage one of a kind. This is one of our Outfitter Cottages near Mill Creek and the kayak center. Neighborhood and cottage amenities make it the perfect for adventure or just relaxing.

This beautifully appointed 2BR, 1.5BA cottage features an open living, dining and kitchen area for a comfortable relaxing stay. This cottage is fully furnished and boasts 2 bedrooms (both upstairs) with a full bath. The primary bedroom has a king sized bed with a queen bed in the second bedroom. A shared full bath and washer & dryer is upstairs. The first floor includes an open living room, dining room, kitchen, pantry and powder room. The kitchen is equipped with refrigerator, gas stove/oven, microwave, Keurig and all your basic cooking utensils. Off the living area is a 420 sq ft covered and screened in porch to expand your living space. WIFI and Streaming TV comes complimentary with the cottage. Linens and towels are provided.

This delightful community boasts access to amenities that include clubhouse, pool, tennis courts, community boat ramp and trails. The pool is open from mid-May to mid-October, from 8am - 8pm for you to enjoy. While you're there, step into the clubhouse with its large living area with TV, streaming services of Hulu, Disney+, and ESPN+. The community center also has an efficiency kitchen with a refrigerator, toaster oven and sink. There is also a small fitness room, restrooms, a landline phone, and Wi-Fi. Just outside of the community center and pool, you'll find even more activities for the whole family. There's a playground area for your younger children with sand volleyball, basketball and tennis courts for everyone else. You also have access to a gazebo, firepit, and park area across from the clubhouse. Please bring your own equipment for the sports courts.

If all these amenities are not quite enough, let us also introduce you to the Outfitter's Center. Located near the Outfitter's Cottages, it is a large screened-in wood building with a double sided stone wood burning fireplace and seating inside and on the back deck. Guests have access to a community charcoal park grill. The kayaks are located on the left side of the center and are available on a first-come, first-served basis. You can follow the pier behind the Outfitter's center to the kayak launch. You will launch your kayaks into Mill Creek there. It's about a 1 mile paddle to the mouth of the river.

There is also a boat ramp located towards the riverfront where you can launch your boat. A parking area for your boat and trailer is adjacent to the ramp. You will need to sign a waiver in order to get the access code and parking passes prior to your arrival.

This home is perfect for a whole family getaway!

There is a $25 per day per pet fee collected by the Host prior to check-in.
Stays longer than 27 days will be assessed an additional cleaning fee, collected by host prior to arrival.

Creekside Stay

Community is great, location is good. Staff communication was great. Creekside does need some maintenance but was serviceable. When we return, Reeling in the Years will be our preferred cottage.

Great place!

Overall great stay at the Creekside Cabin! Biggest complaint would be the strange odor inside that smelled like possible old cigarette smoke? The check-in was easy, but the directions provided in the email for how to open/lock the front door, as well as the wifi info were not accurate. The notebook inside the property had correct wifi info. Location is beautiful and the grounds are lovely. We had a great time!

Great rental in a great location!!

Everything was wonderful! Management company was great at communicating and responding in a timely manner. Had a slight issue with the WI-FI and it was quickly rectified even though it was almost 5pm on a holiday weekend. Love the location. It was just close enough to get to New Bern easily but have peace and quiet after a day of touring. My favorite time was morning coffee on the porch. They really have everything you need and it’s just a very cute cottage.

End of Summer Getaway

We enjoyed our end of the summer getaway before school starts back this past weekend! Creekside was a great spot to relax, be by the water, & enjoy family time.Neuse River is gorgeous! We were able to add an early arrival day with no problem do to power outage from storm back home. Luved Creekside was dog friendly so we could bring our Shihpoo with us! We enjoyed the khakis, pool, bike riding the property, and trails! Also loved that the fairy was close by and took a day trip over to Beaufort and Shackledfurd Banks! Also took a ride over to New Bern for site seeing, bear hunting around downtown, and ice cream at moo cafe!
