Beyond expectations

Hosts responded almost immediately to all my questions. Pictures do not do justice for this view from this place. Property sits directly across from Tumbling creek with a majestic view of the river and mountains, which you can enjoy from the warmth of the kitchen table or enjoy the mountain air from the beautiful deck. As soon as you walk in the door you get a welcoming mountain vibe. We decided not to bring our furry family members on this trip, but the home was well equipped to accommodate them. The weather this week covered the spectrum of the thermometer with lows in the 20's and highs in the 40's one day and highs in the upper 70's the next, but it was not an issue with both central heating and a gas fireplace to enjoy. Property was extremely clean and had all the amenities one would need when staying away from home. The property is located very close to the entrance to Laurel bed lake, which is a must to visit you are here. If the opportunity exists, will we definitely try to stay here again.

Little piece of the south

Nice little house on a stream. Nice white noise. Water heater is a little small and internet goes out every once in a while. Peaceful and quiet area. Old but upkept house.

Perfect Getaway

The owner really thought of everything. The house was beautifully decorated inside to match the rural setting. We loved the location because it was right in the middle of the places we wanted to visit: Virginia Creeper Trail in Damascus, Hungry Mother State Park, the Channels Natural Area Preserve, and Abingdon.

Creek Side

The interior remodeling and decor was really well done, especially considering what was there originally. The sound of the creek was like soothing white noise, couldn't even hear the rain. I wish yard areas were larger though. We loved having our morning coffee out on the deck while listening to the creek.

Weekend Getaway

The listing was secluded, which is exactly what I was looking for. The house was clean and well maintained and had almost everything needed. The reason for one overall four-star rating though was that it was not disclosed until the end of the booking process that a large security deposit or a purchase of a separate insurance policy was required to book it in addition to the normal costs. Additionally, it was not disclosed to that the property is for sale, which caused me to worry that my reservation would be cancelled if it sold.

Adorable cabin with an awesome view!

Once we figured out the panel on the front door was the keypad that needed a firm touch when pressing the code, everything else was smooth sailing. Perfectly stocked with everything one would need for a getaway—all you need to bring is food and drinks. The large old Bible was a precious find, and I enjoyed leafing through that. Hey, Google provided tunes of our choosing, and the internet was a lifesaver as cell service is basically nonexistent (at least with my carrier T-Mobile). Nice cabin to getaway in, do a little work, relax and enjoy the sounds of nature!

Creekberry Getaway

Our visit was originally planned for a fun getaway. However, shortly after I booked there was a death in the family. So our Creekberry stay became a time and place for reflection, love and grieving. The constant roar of the water was just what we needed. So relaxing and healing. The house was immaculate. Every detail is attended to. Our dogs also loved the stay. They did not want to come inside and I think they’d still be on the deck if they could. We got to meet several neighbors down the road on our morning walks and they were friendly welcoming. Highly recommend.

A peaceful escape in nature

I loved how this property is right on the creek and hearing the sound of the water as soon as I opened the door in the morning. The bed was very comfortable, the kitchen updated with modern appliances but still retained a homey feel with the decor. It was cool seeing marble games and things I had grown up with along with a nice assortment of board games and even a Nintendo system. You can be as off the grid or as connected as you'd like to be here. I loved seeing the pet bowls and crate available, along with one deck being gated so pets or kids can roam without worry. The thoughtful touches like filtered water being available in the fridge and the ample outlets by each bed stood out to me. I also really liked the light fixtures in the house - they were varied but all seemed to elevate the space. This was my first getaway alone since having a baby so I truly enjoyed the peace and quiet this property afforded me, along with how central it is to so many things like The Great Channels, Creeper Trail, Museum, and much more.

10/10 Definitely Recommend

*Sigh* I’m writing this review as we head home after the most relaxing of weekends at Creekberry! The sound of the creek was just the start of so many zen-like experiences set up at this mountain getaway. The beautiful home, cozy bed and snuggly couch all helped us have the relaxing weekend we were searching for. Talking to the property owner was easy and they easily answered all of our questions. This kitchen is fully stocked, making meal prep a breeze! Being pet friendly I was so pleased at how much it did NOT show pet wear or smells. It was nice to bring the dogs on this vacation! We will be back soon for more rest and relaxation.

Perfect home base for our state park visits

It was the perfect home base for our visit to the state parks. It was cute and cleanly, plenty of room for more than just us two. We went to Grayson highlands state park and saw the wild ponies. It was also central of multiple other state parks like hungry mother, breaks interstate, natural tunnel, wilderness road, and clinch river. We loved listening to the sound of the creek while we had our morning coffee. Would absolutely stay again in the summer.

Excellent Cabin!

We had a great stay here! Clean and comfortable cabin and a nice deck to sit and relax while enjoying the sights and sounds of the creek. Easy check-in. GPS in the area was spotty for us, so it might be helpful to save or print your directions before you arrive.

Our stay at Creekberry was very relaxing. They provided a clean and comfortable place for us and our dog Stella. Rarely will you find the level of amenities and hospitality that we received. Just take your food and enjoy the super clean home and the deck to enjoy the beautiful area and listening to the creek. Would definitely stay again if we find ourselves in the area.

Great For Outdoor Enthusiasts

This is a remodeled cottage that has low ceilings, is kind of chopped up, and floors that are different levels, resulting in a tripping hazard. The remodeling included AC, updated kitchen and showers. One of the showers wouldn’t keep the water in so we used the other one after the first day. Parking and access to the cottage was difficult; lots of stairs and a very steep driveway to the cottage. The decks are nice and provided a pleasant place to sit and listen to Tumbling Creek on the other side of the road. As my husband and I are 65 and 71 this wasn’t the best choice for us. We were looking for seclusion and the property is definitely that. We appreciated being able to have our dogs with us but walking them was only possible on the road. Property managers were easy to work with. This would be a good place to stay for younger people who want to be away from it all with some of the amenities of civilization.

Wonderful cabin on the creek

We have stayed in many rental houses from different companies and this was by far one of the nicest ones we have ever stayed in. Well stocked and very comfortable. FYI if you have a fear of spiders, be warned they love the front door. We will definitely stay here again when we come back to southwestern virginia.

So Relaxing

We came here as a last stop on a very busy vaca. We basically wanted to relax, unwind, and do nothing. We were exhausted and it was absolutely perfect for that! As soon as you walk in it smells brand new. That is always awesome! It was very clean as well. The sound of the river and view was beautiful! The decor was impressive and super charming, appliances were top of the line and the house was very well stocked! Great bedrooms, great TVs, little fire place, vintage games, and the pressure in the shower in the main bath was so good/hard it mades us laugh.You will definitely be clean! The river was fabulous but too steep for us to get down to it from that location. They warn you of this... We went to Food City (town over easy drive- other groceries in town though)stocked up and sat on the decks the whole time. We drove around and checked out the local history and park. We also went to Hungry Mother State Park and that was wonderful. There were plenty of cameras for security at the house . You are definitely in the country there, so research the area and make sure that is what you want. It's exactly what we wanted and would be happy to stay again! Easy check in and out. Locals told us there were bears around but we didn't see any. It was an extremely relaxing stay. I miss falling asleep to the sound of the river already.

My new favorite place in SW VA!

Southwest Virginia is my happy place. My husband and I love visiting and just distressing for a few days every couple of years. We used to have a home we stayed at, but it was recently sold. However, Creekberry has taken the place of our new happy place to stay! I couldn't have been more pleased with the stay. The sound of the rushing creek just below the house is amazing. I slept with my window open every night so that I could be lulled to sleep by the peacefulness. I love the choice of decorating; The mix of antiques with modern. The master bed was especially comfy. The stay was clean, well stocked, and the hosts were quick to respond to say hello. Though the house is on a somewhat traveled road, the stay was pretty quiet, aside from the occasional truck or car passing by. All neighbors waved to us as they passed by and were very pleasant. I can't wait to visit again someday! Highly recommend this gem away from the fast life!

Mountain get away

Property was very nice and we brought our dogs. Only issue is there is little yard space for them to run around and you must be careful they don't run out in the road because cars drive very fast there. The creek was beautiful and nature too just be prepared to drive at least 30 min to 1 hour to any stores or hiking places. House was very pretty ..would recommend an L shap e d couch in family room and put a flush mounted light in the "dining room" area as it hangs too low for tall people and put a sleeper sofa there instead. All in all great house, deck, river, and nature. We had a really nice stay.

Amazing House

The first thing I noticed when I walked though the door was the smell of Cleanliness!! This house was amazing! All new appliances, comfy furniture and we slept so good on the beds. What made me smile were the dog dishes that were ready for my girl, Scarlett.❤️ Thank you. Nintendo in the kids' room and board games to keep us occupied, along with wifi. I enjoyed cooking there. All pans, dishes, silverware, supplies, coffee, towels, etc. were provided. Enjoyed the peace of the rolling creek across the street. My son and I and Scarlett walked through the creek. Went fishing there and in town. Relaxed on the decks. House was on a small hill, which was fine for us. We loved it here at this house.😁

Why they chose this property

We were guests in May and fell in love with the area. Just so happened the first day of our stay was also the day it went on the market. So you could say we loved it so much we bought the place.

What makes this property unique

Upon arrival, the roar of Tumbling Creek will make guests stop to listen. There's a calm in the nature and beauty at Creekberry.
