We enjoyed our stay very much. It was nice and quiet and the view of the creek was a plus. We especially liked the screen house in the back. So nice to sit in and have your morning coffee. The inside was nice, clean and cozy. We went to Mio and shopped in the Pioneer store, the Creamery and the little Amish bakery on Kittle road. They have delicious cookies and great bread. We also went to Ma Deeters restaurant for dinner and the food was really good. The owners are super nice and helpful too. All in all we would highly recommend staying here.

Big Creek Cabin

It’s not often that I write a review, but in this case it is warranted. The cabin was a true find. Clean , peaceful and well cared for. Wild life was abundant and provided hours of entertainment. It was a short drive to town and other points of interest. We had a chance to speak with Nick the host about the history of the cabin and could see the pride he has for both the cabin and the memories of the man who built it. The cabin is well stocked if you like to cook. The beds are very comfortable. Nick, thank you for sharing this beautiful place with us.

This cabin is very charming, quiet, and tranquil. It is a slice of paradise. The smell of fresh pine and watching the wild life while drinking coffee in the mornings was very relaxing.

Relaxing Getaway

We love getting away Up North. The cabin has been well maintained with love and pride throughout its life. We enjoyed morning coffee listening to birds and watching lots of wildlife from the porch. The dock was perfect to experience yoga outdoors. The cabin is well equipped and has a great set up for cooking on the gas grill or on the campfire. Big Creek was cool and refreshing during the June heat wave. I even took a quick river tube ride from the main road to the cabin. We never left the property or turned the tv on. Just loved being outside, present in the moment enjoying nature. This is our fourth stay with at Nick and Laura's properties (first at the red cabin). Always great communication. Highly recommend.
