About this property

Welcome to pure slope-side luxury just 47 miles from Manhattan! Black Creek Sanctuary is Mountain Creek's only gated neighborhood, and it's a quick stroll from the base of the mountain, situated on the banks of a serene stretch of water. This two bedroom bi-level unit facing the breathtaking views of lush foilage and pristine wetlands nestled among the sweeping stretches of the beautiful mountains of Vernon NJ offer you the best of both worlds. Take advantage of the natural waterway and nature trails. Or head over to the excitement of the mountain. Or stay at home and enjoy the year-round hot tubs and a sizable pool in the summer.

Good bones but disappointing

We enjoyed our stay. The proximity to the pool, hot tub and walking trails and neighborhood in general was very nice. Going up to the actual unit The dryer vent was totally clogged outside and looks like it hasn't been cleaned in years. The welcome mat was very dirty and exterior by front door very dirty. When you go into the place, the bones of the place are very nice and the paint was very pretty. The bathrooms have been updated so they are nice. However, the mattresses were very uncomfortable. Both bedrooms can use new comforters as well as new mattresses. The washing machine is extremely loud & sounds like a plane taking off. The towels and bath mat downstairs were old and dirty. There is nowhere to sit outside on the deck. It would've been nice to be able to sit outside and enjoy the view. The interior furniture downstairs is old and dated, and needs to be replaced in our opinion. We had a nice time overall enjoyed the pool and hot tub. The neighborhood was very pretty but this unit needs some cleaning & updates.

NYE at Mountain Creek Vernon

The entry passcode to the property was incorrect. There was no quick way (no phone number) to contact property owner or manager. Fortunately, property rep. showed up at the gate and gave us the correct code.

Amazing place.

This property was beautiful, everything was clean and in order. I spend four days there with my husband, three children and my beagle dog. I loved that I could bring my dog because he is part of my family. A big thank you to Mariusz, the owner who welcome pets to their property. The kitchen was well equipped to prepare our food. There is an Acme supermarket like 5 minutes away where we were able to buy food to cook but around the area we also found different fast food places like McDonalds, chinese food and pizza. We love this property, the view from the balcony was nice, from there we can appreciated how amazing the nature is, this place gives us peaceful days to connect with nature which can not been seen from the city. Walking outside by the ponds was beautiful and specially for the kids, listening in the morning the sound of chirping of the birds. We also love the hot pools which they are open from 10 am to 10 pm. Very clean and my kids were so happy when the lights were on at night. The owner of the house was able to answer any question that I asked. I really recommend this property and hopefully in the future, I really hope I can come back. Thank you so much.

Weekend ski getaway

Perfect location, bright and colorful condo, beautiful scenery. It was everything we needed for a quick weekend getaway to ski and relax at Mountain Creek. Loved the view off of the back deck. The complex is adorable and would love to go back when the amenities (fire pit, hot tub, etc.) are open. Easy communication with the owner and check in/out was a breeze.

Great spot for hiking, beautiful view

The location is perfect - a bright, comfortable property with easy access to state parks, restaurants and farms. The owner communicated promptly and everything was easy to find. The place is bright, filled with natural light, and faces a creek with nice views and birds singing in the morning. However, there are a few issues with the condo - when we arrived, there was a strong unpleasant smell in the house. We had to air out the place for a couple of hours to get rid of it. The cleaning also wasn’t great. We found traces of salt and crumbs on the table and hair in the bathtub. In terms of the bathroom - I wish body wash had been provided. I found a used bar of soap in the shower caddy, which is obviously not great during a pandemic. The biggest issue with the condo is the thermostat. It would not stay at the set temperature. It jumped to 82F(!!) by itself and made the upstairs bedroom boiling hot, while the downstairs one was freezing cold. In general the temperature around the place was very uneven. With a few tweaks, I think this place has the potential to be a perfect vacation spot within driving distance from the city!

Ladies getaway

Stayed at property for 2 night mid week. I received email from Vrbo with different instructions than owner very confusion. The owner very nice and apologized . The air conditioning not working called owner propert management arrived in 10 minutes and fixed air. The Condo itself was tidy but not spotless there was pieces of rice on counter and kitchen table. We wiped everything down due to covid. The pool area really really nice . Clean with 2 hot tubs. Overall a nice stay.
