About this property

Beautiful Large Tudor Home on 35 peaceful acres

This Property is great for small family reunions, small church retreats, friend's gatherings, small business retreats, and other peaceful, quiet getaways.

Please consider purchasing travel insurance to protect yourself in the event you need to cancel your trip.

This property is professionally cleaned with attention to detail before each guest arrives.

If you want to get away from the business and the hustle and bustle of everyday life, this is the place for you. We have the best of both worlds because the property is rural and peaceful, and yet you can get down to the city in less than 30 minutes, where you can find most anything you’ll need.

This home is on 35 peaceful acres with three man-made ponds and hiking or mountain biking through oak groves with large granite rocks. The two smaller ponds are near the house, and the largest pond can be reached by vehicle or a moderate hike. Natural stream water from the property flows into this pond via a peaceful waterfall feature. An adobe kitchen area overlooks this large pond and features a sink, small refrigerator, canopy with firepit and a propane and wood or charcoal BBQ.

The 6,250 sf Tudor home has lots of character and charm. Stunning sunset views can be viewed from the backyard most of the year. And during the day, views of the valleys and surrounding hills go on forever. Relax in the back yard around the firepit and Bar Be Que on a propane, wood or charcoal BBQ. At dust, wait for the beautiful sunsets, then after dark, take in the majesty of the star-filled skies. There’s also nothing like an evening in a rural area when there is a full moon, as it illuminates the darkness. The sound of coyotes makes for beautiful evening music.

The main floor of the house has a large kitchen with two islands, two sinks and a double oven, and a large dinning/family room with wood-burning fireplace. One full bathroom, one powder room, and a laundry room are also on the main floor.

The second floor has a large master suite with a king size bed, a jacuzzi tub and its own balcony. Two more bedrooms occupy the second floor as well as a separate dorm room with 8 twin beds. An additional balcony is located off a common hallway for all to share.

Beneath the main floor is an 1800 sf, partially subgrade, granny suite with access from the main house and its own separate entrance. The large bedroom has a king size bed and additional beds, a living/entertainment room with a wood-burning fireplace, a small kitchen, and a full bathroom. A table can be used to hand out and talk or, flip it over and play poker and then try a game of bumper pool.

Quiet hours are 10:00 p.m.- 8:00 a.m.


The owners and managers live on adjacent properties.

Beautiful Property and the KINDEST hosts

The place was perfect for our 22 people retreat with a mixture of teenagers, single adults, and young families. Everything was super clean and tidy, instructions were easy to understand and the furnishings were cozy but stylish. We absolutely loved it, and not to mention Art and Karen were the best hosts we’ve ever had. Don’t miss out on this amazing experience of a place!

Wonderful Family Weekend

We had 3 generations stay for the weekend. The location had gorgeous sunsets, entertaining games and fun hiking adventures. The pictures in the listing are accurate. There was plenty of room for all 22 of us. The kitchen was well stocked with pans, spatulas and serving dishes. Bathrooms on every floor. The whole property was amazing. We would stay again if we are back in the area.

Oak Creek manor is paradise

Thank you so much Karen and Art for sharing you fantastic property with us. Anything that we needed the house already had. From cooking fantastic meals for family and friends, to outdoor games and activities for the kids, this place has it all! And that is just at the house, there is 40 acres of exploring to do with trails, rocks, ponds ,streams, and trees galore. Highly recommend this place, and would like to come back with our group to do more exploration.

Stunning place

We had church retreat at Art n Karen’s property. Since we’re very small church, the place was just plentiful space. Everything in the house was just cleaned and tidy so I could see and feel how the hosts are very thoughtful and generous. I can just tell how they LOVE their property so much. View was amazing and backyard was just amazing!! We definitely want to comeback in two years. Thank you so much Art and Karen!

A gem awaits you!

Our men’s group retreat was an absolute success. The land is welcoming and the property spacious and private. Sunrise meditations overlooking drifting fog makes you feel as if you’re on top of the world, above the clouds. We practiced daily and loved on the land. This space is conducive for any large gathering and our hosts were accommodating and kind. We look forward to hopefully returning some day soon. Thank you Karen and Art for your kindness and hospitality.

More then expected

Clean, well kept, well stocked, beautiful grounds, perfect! We came for Thanksgiving holiday. There were 21 of us all different ages. Everyone was happy something for everyone to do lots of games on the property and lots of outdoors to explore. Large spaces inside to be together as well. We brought our bikes the kids enjoyed riding around the house but the surrounding property was too steep. It was great for the e-bike. I hope we have the opportunity to return I have nothing negative to say.

Excellent Retreat Space!

I rented this space for a weekend with about 20 of my friends (all women, from a Discord server started during the pandemic), and it was the perfect space for our mini-meetup/retreat. We particularly appreciated the large kitchen and multiple group seating areas, as well as the high ratio of bathrooms to bedrooms. We didn't spend a ton of time outdoors, but the view from the backyard was beautiful! The property was a little difficult to find because GPS doesn't work in the area, but our host provided clear directions from the nearest town and nobody got lost. Would definitely recommend this space to large groups looking for a retreat space, with the only caveat being that it's definitely off the beaten path. We brought most of our food, and we also had dinner one night at El Rey, a Mexican restaurant about a 15-minute drive from the house — but it's not otherwise very well-located for convenient food options. Also, while it was easy to find the house with our hosts directions, it won't be as easy if you're using something like Uber. We had two people who flew into San Diego and took an Uber to the house; when they flew out we drove them off the property to the nearby school for an Uber pickup.

We had a great time. Art and Karen were so helpful and welcoming and warm throughout the whole booking, check-in and checkout process. They were also so accommodating for our relatively large group. The grounds are kept so well, our group had a great time outside. Inside the house was also so beautiful. The kitchen is extremely well stocked with different cooking supplies and also cooking hardware and utensils. Our group lacked nothing. We would definitely want to stay here again.

We rented this property to celebrate my wife's milestone birthday with 4 other families that stayed over the weekend and then additional guests joining for few hours for celebration. Owners Karen and Art were absolutely the best people; they accommodated our every need and ensured a memorable experience for my wife on their property.It started with clear instructions to drive to property and parking instructions, followed by smooth check-in. House was clean and had everything that we need. Every detail in the house is clearly laid out, be it electrical switches, bedrooms, bathrooms, backyard, use of appliances, outdoor games. Excellent kitchen, well organized, every dish and cutlery were available in good quantity. Big dining table to seat several at the same time, multiple comfortable sofa/couches and kitchen has multiple islands and faucets for several people to cook at the same time with sufficient space. Sufficient towels and other toiletries in the bathrooms. Property has huge backyard with isolated water feature, beautiful views of the canyon and hills, is peaceful and safe, has lots of space to walk and enjoy. It is well maintained with lots of chairs. Lighting, decent size gazebo, fireplace, and variety of sport gears. Truly a wonderful place to spend relaxing time with friends and family members. All are guests enjoyed it, and we are looking forward to visiting again. Easily the best house property that I have stayed in, that I’ve rented. Thanks Art and Karen.

I invited 20 of my dearest friend's and any infant/ nursing babies to spend a few nights away from the rush of life. I could have never guessed this castle could be so perfect. We found little crannies everywhere on the property for quiet chats and private space to think and pray. The rooms were set up perfectly for privacy when dressing and lots of space for all our dressing and bathing needs. 21 woman is allot of showers and dressing up. We never ran into shower jams or cold water or lines for the bathroom. We could not have been more comfortable. We even all took a turn in the gorgeous soaking tub.The highlight for all the ladies was the view, especially at sunset. We all spent lots of time enjoying the outside. Oh! And the kitchen made cooking meals a delight!At one point we were concerned about our Van making a weird noise . Art jumped in to save the day from worry and an extra trip to the mechanic. Art and Karen were very attentive. I will recommend this special spot to anyone with a large group. And lots of the ladies plan on coming back with family.

Church retreat

I recently had the privilege of hosting a Mother's Day weekend retreat at this beautiful home, and I can’t say enough good things about the experience. From the moment we stepped inside, we were struck by the immaculate condition of the house and the serene, welcoming energy that filled the space. Every detail was thoughtfully organized and well-equipped, far exceeding our expectations.The property itself is stunning, with peaceful outdoor surroundings that added so much to our experience. Every attendee raved about how comfortable and tranquil the space felt, and many of us wished we could have stayed longer!We feel truly fortunate to have found this gem and are already looking forward to returning next year, hopefully extending our stay to two full days. Thank you for providing such a special place—it made our retreat a wonderful and memorable success.Warmly, Diwakari Devi
