Bruces Bend is a beautiful property on craigs creek. A great quiet and peaceful location. House is superbly equipped and comfortable. Outdoor space is well thought out and a lot of great space to hang out. Theres a huge deck and black stone grill also. Just an awesome place and location.
Property was just what we needed to unwind and relax. Kitchen was well equipped, house was clean and provided all the comforts of home. Already planning the next trip. Thanks for a lovely stay.
This was the most relaxing stay we have found on VRBO. You will not be disappointed. Well stocked kitchen and the accommodations are perfect for family fun. The sights and sounds of the creek are amazing. The best long weekend getaway we can remember.
We love everything about this place. This is our third year staying there and we always have a great time and it's a great house!! There is a lot to do at the house and the kids love the s'mores and the fire pit. I highly recommend this to anyone looking for a nice mountain getaway!
This was the first time I have used VRBO and it set high expectations for future vacations. The cabin was beautiful and had a little something for everyone to enjoy. We even got my grouchy father in law to love family games like UNO!!! This was a miracle by itself but seriously thank you for the memories and we hope to stay again next year!!!
Absolutely wonderful time in this beautiful home with a well appointed kitchen, plenty of places to relax and special touches throughout, and of course, Craig‘s Creek. The owners are quite responsive and helpful. We will definitely be back!
Great place with lots of amenties included. We had a great time with family and enjoyed the quiet and peaceful location. The creek behind the property is great to play and swim. The house was beautiful.
The property was very nice. Mother nature wasn't to nice but the screened in porch made the stay wonderful. The supplies for cooking are fantastic and being on the water was relaxing.
Spouse and I went to Bruces Bend cabin for a few days to relax and enjoy a different setting. We enjoyed fishing, birdwatching, hiking and relaxing. The cabin was so clean, well maintained, and a great river location. The beds were really comfortable and made for a restful night. We hope to visit again! Thanks for sharing your home.
The house was clean and we enjoyed the great river views.

About the host
Hosted by David and Kimberly Bruce
We are the Bruce Family. David and Kimberly Bruce-the owners of Bruce's Bend. We have 3 children. David was raised just one mile from the property and is very familiar with and loves the area. I was born and raised in New jersey till 1999 when I moved to Virginia. We both love to hike and be outdoors. Our children also love to hike and do all the outdoor activities that we hope you get to enjoy when you visit. We look forward to meeting new people who share the same love of the area.
Why they chose this property
David grew up just a mile down the road from the property. He had visited this house and knew the prior owners and told them that if they ever wanted to sell to let him know. Fortunately for us, they decided to sell and contacted David about purchasing the house. We love the house and plan on retiring here. We have had to move for a job change at this point and thought why not let others enjoy our home while we cannot.
What makes this property unique
David was in love with the house from the first visit. The view from the couch gave the appearance that the creek flowed directly under the house. We absolutely love the screened in porch. We love sitting on the couch in the screened in porch and have our morning coffee. The house has many great points--firepit, creek view, big side yard, patio area, deck overlooking creek and much more. The screened in structure out front is the origional camp that still remains. It has a fireplace which is a good place to sit back and relax or hangout on a rainy day or evening.
