Great small, clean and beautiful getaway!

The place was beautiful! It's just like it is in the pictures and kept very clean! We stayed while visiting family so we didn't spend very much time there but I would have not cared if we did! We got a restful and good comfortable sleep! If u are someone that like to sleep super warm u might wanna bring an extra blanket, for us it was just perfect, we will def be back!

Peaceful little home with a great view

My boyfriend and I loved staying here. The perfect quiet getaway. We enjoyed using the kitchen to prepare meals and the deck for our morning coffee. We are hoping to return for a stay in the summer!

Very nice little cabin, would definitely recommend to anyone looking for a bit of tranquility, out little family had great time with the cabin and surrounding property. None of us were brave enough to try our luck at kayaking but the option is a great addition to the cabin. Thanks for having us 🙂

Great little place!

What a wonderful little property! The bed was very comfortable and the place was super clean! My husband & I only needed it for an overnight stay while visiting family, it was perfect. We can't wait to come back in the Spring to use the access to the water and enjoy the balcony.

Wonderful retreat

My husband and I had a wonderful 4 day stay. We were looking to have a relaxing trip and that's exactly what we got. The home was equipped with all kitchen and bathroom items we needed. The location was tranquil and right next to a creek. My husband even caught a catfish right off the deck! If you are looking to relax and rewind, it's a great place.

Totally awesome!!!

We had a great time here! Love that the property has kayaks included with your stay!! And caught a few nice fish right out back also! But my 11 year old son caught a 9-9½ pound monster catfish on our last night here!!!! It was an absolute blast!! He's caught fish but never anything that size!! Overall 100+ stars!!!!

Fun place to stay and play!

Cute tiny house! Came with kayaks and paddleboard to use while there. We used these on Racoon Creek and had a great time! With 4 kids and 2 adults we knew it would be tight, but the host was kind enough to drop off extra sheets and blankets for us to use on the couch and blow up mattress! Ants were all over, but this is probably normal for Ohio ;) Overall, a fun place to stay if you are in the area!

Creekhouse

The creek house was amazing!! the view was spectacular as was the sounds of the creek. My only suggestion would be a coat rack maybe on the wall outside of the bathroom. It would be nice to have a place downstairs to hang jackets / wet towels. cant wait to visit again!!

A perfect weekend!

My spouse and I booked this property as a last minute getaway trip. The home was spotless clean, the perfect size for the two of us and so cutely decorated. The communication and check in process was excellent. We loved the letter board welcoming us on our stay, the host thought of everything! The swings and hammock below was our favorite spot for our morning coffee. We cannot wait to come back in the warmer weather to enjoy the Kayaks and cornhole!
