The Homestead has everything you hope for in a vacation home - miles of hiking trails out your front door bringing you to waterfalls and a plane crash site, a covered porch with rocking chairs and a large dining table, a fire pit, 9 disc golf baskets, and a fully stocked kitchen. The on-site host is easy to contact, friendly, and helpful. It's also pet-friendly!

The cabin was clean and comfortable. If you get car sick I would think twice about this cabin. The roads to get there are very curvy. The hike to the plane crash was rough but worth it. It's a beautiful area. The fire pit is great. And there is a nice large back porch and a swing and rockers on the front porch.

I cannot begin to describe what an amazing (and relaxing) time we had on vacation! We are a family of 4 with my husband and I being middle aged, our son being 19, and my elderly dad who we take care of. This beautiful home met all of our needs and far exceeded our expectations. Our son loved the game room downstairs. He was excited that we were able to play pool and foosball with him. Unfortunately, we weren’t able to play any of the arcade games because it wasn’t working. There was sound, but just a black screen, we left it to see if it would come on, but after a day nothing changed. It certainly wasn’t a deal breaker, but it would have been nice to be notified beforehand. It was something that our teenager was looking forward to.We had a wonderful time hiking, walking around the property, enjoying coffee on both decks, and unwinding in the evening in front of a campfire. Casey (the property manager) was so helpful and kind! It was such a wonderful experience as I’ve never had a property manager/concierge that was as genuine, kind, and helpful as Casey. I would give him 10 stars if I could! My husband and I have already started talking about returning and staying at one of the other unique houses/cabins. Thank you so much for letting us stay here, it was the best VRb0 experience we’ve had!!

Our family loved the cabin. Beautiful area, the cabin was plenty of room for the family. Everything we needed was there. Enjoyed the pool table. Sad that the arcade game didn’t work. I’m also sad that I left my phone charger behind . Overall we had a wonderful time. Everything was clean and it also had extra fans and heaters. Very secluded, we will be coming back.

The cabin was wonderful. The driveway and drive getting to it was a little difficult. There was only enough room for one case at a time to drive down. The creek was across the street from where we stayed. Overall me and my family had a wonderful time and would definitely do it again.

Peaceful retreat

Our group of 5 adults stayed for one week with our dogs. The cabin was plenty big, the beds were comfortable, and we had all the kitchen equipment we needed for preparing our meals. We especially appreciated the opportunities to hike on property, near beautiful streams, with the dogs. We would definitely consider returning to Huffman Creek Retreat.

Very cozy and comfortable house. Beautiful area close to the creek with great trails and nice views, lots of great places to relax like the hammocks and ferris wheel seat swings. We didn’t even have to leave the property! The hot tub was a little dirty but other than that the house was clean. Over all great trip, we will definitely be coming back!

Beautiful cabin in a great location

My family & I had a great time. This is the 1st cabin I've been to that had such a well stocked kitchen where I had to put away everything I brought up there. The location & property were beautiful. You can do some serious hiking on the land around the cabins. The cabin was clean & everything we expected it to be. Kali the property mgr is so helpful & sweet. We'd definitely come back again.

This was the perfect family friendly home with space for everyone to spread out and be comfortable. The house was well supplied with everything we needed . we spent hours with our grandchildren ages four through 19 hiking and jumping from rock to rock down the creek the area is absolutely beautiful so relaxing being surrounded by the trees and the sound of water running over the rocks surrounds you Robbinsville is about 11 miles away has grocery and drugstore along with a impressive pizza buffet grandchildren asked if we could go back again next summer we willabsolutely be back.

Natural Beauty

My husband and I brought our adult children and our young grands. We all loved our stay. Out of the entire week, we left the property for other activities only twice. The property has hiking, outdoor relaxing in hammocks or by a campfire. The kids were in love with the creek and spent hours splashing and exploring there. It is very remote but that’s what made it so wonderful. If you go, check out that night sky!
