A message from the owner:
Kilbuck Creek is not just a business to us, and it’s not just a house, it’s a place where family and friends get to come together and spend quality time with each other in a world where time goes by far too fast. As the owner of this property, I have raised all 6 of my children here, and I've handpicked almost everything you see in the house. My kids grew up coming down the stairs on Christmas morning, or playing in the woods till the sun went down, and we have spent countless meals together in this kitchen. This home and property holds so many special memories and means so much to our family, and we love that we can now share this special place with other families so they can experience that joy as well.
Having said that, it is with the utmost sincerity that we ask you to treat our home with the respect it deserves. Please understand that this isn’t just a business to us, this is where my children have been raised and where we still come together to spend quality time with each other. Our cleaning staff is like family to us, and they put a lot of time and energy into getting the house ready for each group. Please help them out by picking up the house before checkout, it’s greatly appreciated!!

All groups must have an I.D. to present at check in, and we will be looking into each group that requests to book.

*No Prom or Homecoming groups
*Service animals are allowed, but please notify our staff so we can send you our guidlines. Also, documentation must be provided.

The cabin was lovely, the indoor pool and jacuzzi were a welcomed treat; especially during the cooler temps - but the water temperature could have been a bit warmer. We enjoyed exploring the hiking trails and to our surprise seeing the Northern Lights. Excited to return again!

Family Trip

We had a great stay at this property! We had a minor maintenance issue during our stay due to a leak with the air-conditioner but communication with the staff was easy and the staff promptly addressed it. I truly felt that they all cared that our family had an enjoyable time while we were there--even though we were only there 2 nights. Very grateful to all the staff for helping our family make such wonderful memories during our time at Kilbuck Creek.

The venue was beautiful as always this was our second time staying here, however, it was slightly disappointing compared to our first experience. On our arrival date, the AC did not work at all. We attempted for a few hours was weighed it out thinking it might just be us now knowing how to use the thermostat. We ended up running to Target to get fans for each room once the temperature reached 78 on the thermostat. The next day, the maintenance guy did come early and determined after spending a few hours in the house that there was a leaked that cause the AC to not work. The rest of the week we spent there, we went through phases of rotten egg and sewage smell through out the house. Otherwise, aside from the smell and no AC on the hottest day there, we were able to enjoy the beautiful location of this venue.

This is our second time spending Thanksgiving at this wonderful Home. And every time we couldn’t be happier. Thank you again to the owner for opening her doors so that other families can enjoy this beautiful place. Hope to rent in the spring or summer next time so that we can enjoy the outdoors as well.

Amazing to say the least! Our family has a yearly reunion going since 2009. This was by far the best cabin we have stayed at. Location, staff were amazing. Mona is the best! Hope to be back soon when a weekend opens up in 2025 or 2026.

About the host

Hosted by Branigan

Host profile image
Hi everyone!! I raised my beautiful children in this home, so needless to say we have so many memories here! It seems like these kids of mine decided to grow up on me overnight and now have their own homes and their own children. So I decided to downsize into a more functional home, but I wasn't quite ready to let go of this property that we all loved so much.
So that is how our home and property became Kilbuck Creek!
Our company is a family run business and we absolutely love hosting everyone's events! To see peoples face light up when they see our place puts a smile on my face and in my heart!

Why they chose this property

LUXURY ACCOMADATIONS MEETS WILDERNESS AND ADVENTURE!
Kilbuck Creek is such a unique vacation rental and venue. Our spacious home hidden in the woods, is the perfect location to gather and really enjoy quality time with each other. The 3 level home gives you some space to stretch, but still feels warm and cozy.
The indoor pool and spa makes our home perfect for all season round fun!
The property has chipped trails to explore the woods, and the Kilbuck Creek runs right along the property (hence the name of the company).

What makes this property unique

Let us take care of your meals! We have an in house catering service you can add on to your stay for an additional fee. Please ask a Kilbuck Creek staff member for assistance and details with this option.
If you prefer, you can book with us directly as well! Just give the office a call and one of our friendly staff members can process your booking with no additional Homeaway processing fee!
