This cabin was perfect for our family gathering! There was more than enough room for everyone to feel comfortable. We loved that the house felt remote, but was a very quick drive or easy walk down to the town. Our kids and dog had the best time playing outside. There were so many places to relax under the trees and enjoy the sound of the water running through the creek. The host was also very responsive and had so much information already prepared to make sure we had a great stay. I hope we get the chance to come back!

We loved at stay in this beautiful cabin. The rooms were all well appointed, clean, comfortable. The kitchen had all the essentials we needed for cooking. We were traveling 4 adults and three kids and everyone had space to do their own thing and also lots of space for being together, playing games, etc. We had so much fun! The owner was great, accomodating, and responded quickly to messgaes. Overall a fantastic getaway. We will definitely stay here again and recommend this place highly.

Cabin was perfect for our large party. Plenty of room, beds, and space! Host was also very communicative leading up to and during our trip. Only thing to critique if we had to was the people staying on the bottom floor said not having a curtain on the door while sleeping on the bunk facing the door was a little creepy. Lol

Would definitely stay here again! Was a lovely cabin that slept 10 adults VERY comfortably. Alex was a great host and we enjoyed our stay very much. Love the cabin’s location, it is well laid out with furniture and amenities (hot tub is the best!) and we were appreciative it came with essentials such as spices for cooking and wood for the stove. Really appreciated the check-in and check-out processes were simple and easy and whole stay went fantastic with no issues. Highly recommend for a magical stay in the woods!

Rustic accommodations, generally clean, kitchen equipment well stocked. E-entertainment in excellent order. A bit dark at night due to low wattage light bulbs, although make sure all light switches have their dimmers on high for best lighting. Two flights of stairs, down to property, are poorly lit, bring a flashlight. Overall cozy and quaint, property owner very eager to help with any property issues, should they arise.

The Creek-Side Cabin was wonderful & the host, Alex, was amazing to work with. The attention to detail in the home made our stay so smooth, comfortable & enjoyable. We loved the decor of the home and the beds were so comfortable. The kids loved The Goonies room and all the games to play with. The hosts really have thought of everything to make this a fun & memorable stay. The grounds were beautiful & we loved listening to the creek while relaxing on the deck. We hope to come back soon.

Great location and plenty of room for grandparents, parents and children. Nice bedrooms upstairs, and bunks on lowest level. So nice to have the hot tub after hikes. The washer/dryer are a plus. There is a small creek at the bottom of a steep hill, so the cabin is not really "creek-side".

This is a great property for families in a quiet, private neighborhood along the creek. We were there during a heatwave, but the window AC units were amazing! The tvs, the games inside and out, the home layout, the spa-everything was as listed and perfect for a family group with many kids, especially those “tweens”. The kitchen had everything I needed for family cooking; we did all meals at the house. I used the bbq as an oven as well as a grill-works great! New stove in kitchen is very nice! With three bathrooms, we never had an issue. We’ll be back, for sure.

Great host and fun for everyone
Host was always great with communication and very accommodating. The cabin was the perfect size and had everything we needed as a family. Kids had a great time outside on the rope and tire swing while the teens had a blast playing darts and games.
Such a wonderful, serene property. Perfect distance from town, so we could get a little daily exercise in. The kids loved being able to just play in the backyard all day on the swings and then came in at night and played some more with all the fun board games, cards, and building toys they had inside. Spacious layout, and the old furnace made it magical!

We stayed at the cabin for a girls weekend and the cabin was perfect! There are plenty of comfortable beds, lounging areas, a warm wood stove, and just an overall cute, cozy cabin.

Magical stay! Lucky enough to get snow the day before and the roads were all cleared for our drive up. House initially cold, but warmed up quickly with the fire going. Comfy beds, plenty of towels, many options for seating and playing. Plenty of beds to choose from. Overall, fabulous stay and will definitely return!
