The views from and around the cottage are amazing. The location is great as it is very close to the Pine Creek Rail Trail. And the creek in the back yard is charming. The bedroom and bathroom heating and comfort of the bed were very much appreciated.

We loved this very warm hearted home. We stayed here due to running a trail race nearby. It had everything we needed and were very comfortable. Would definitely stay again! The neighborhood is gorgeous and surrounding area was fun to explore.
My brother and I at our trail race. Looking forward to going back to our comfortable cottage after a long brutal race!

Eastern States 100 Recovery Retreat

Came to the Pine Creek area to run the Eastern States 100 and this house was great for our base camp and especially for relaxing and recovering after the race. The back yard space was beautiful with easy access to Pine Creek. Sipping coffee on the dock and sun porch and soaking in the creek in the afternoon was perfect! The large common room was nicely furnished and allowed the whole group to gather and share stories from the long weekend. Would stay here again for sure!

Great location, creek in the back was a great place to cool off during the 90 degree temps we had during our stay. House did not have air conditioning, only a window unit in master bedroom. Grill outside was nice, used it often to cook. Only issue we had was the floor when you walk in the front door feels like a trampoline, it wasn't very solid. Overall it was good, and would probably stay again. We were there for little League World Series week.

We mostly used this as a place to sleep while at an event nearby. The neighborhood is beautiful and the views from the house were fantastic. We took a walk around the yard and stream access and noted it would be a great place to stay for a longer time just to enjoy the views and bring kayaks.My only concern is that the floor just inside the front door is uneven and has a thick carpet pad that is either causing or attempting to smooth the unevenness. For anyone that is unsteady on their feet it could be a tripping hazard. That said I would not personally hesitate to stay here again in the future but there are people I would not stay here with for that reason.

"Creek House"

Our family loved our time at the "Creek House" as our 3 year old would say. Such a beautiful spot. Most of our time was spent down by the creek or the nearby bike trail. Perfect location for our weekend adventure. Thank you to Roxanne & family for letting us stay at your home.
