The place was lovely. Would have liked it closer to town but it was stated in the listing it was 10 miles away. The only suggestion I would make is to put in your listing that a fishing license may be required to fish. We loved the cleanliness of the cabin and the decor. We will definitely like to rent again when we plan to go there again.

What a peaceful place to stay! It is a little remote, but you are only 15-20 minutes from town! If you want comfortable and tranquil this is a fantastic place to stay. The host, Sonya, was very informative and quick to respond to questions.

Nice little cabin close to lots of trails. Great for 1-2 people. Beautiful yard and area to walk dogs, soft bed and functional mini kitchen. Would be perfect with a little better water pressure and blankets.

Just enough room for the two of us and we really enjoyed the creek out back. Bonus that it’s pet friendly. We would definitely stay again, if in the area.

Love the location of this property. The creek was exactly what I was looking for. Felt private, even off a major highway with a cabin next door. We had everything we needed. Hike at Max Patch was icing on the cake!

Excellent Vacation Rental on the Creek

This place was absolutely spotless and had everything you could possibly need. Had all the amenities we needed for a four day stay including dishwashing liquid, paper towels, etc. Our host answered within minutes and helped answer any and all questions. We will definitely go back.

One the main reason we booked here was for the fence yard and that I saw others note about the property. There is no longer a fence. Also if you book one there is a 2 home on the property. Note

Creek Life Cottage.

We had a great stay. Too bad it was just for one night as we would have enjoyed being there longer and my husband wished he had brought his fishing rod. It was a perfect size for us and the fenced back yard was a plus for our dogs! Very relaxing. Owner very easy to work with and very accommodating. Thanks again!!

The Creek!

Moms of teenagers needed to get away for one night. It was so perfect! The fire pit and creek were absolutely what we were looking for. The house had all the amenities and was super comfortable. Sonya was very responsive and we had no issues whatsoever. I could see it being a great place for a couple with a small dog or, like for us, just friends that needed a night off. Loved it!
