Located in the quaint little town of Boiling Springs, Pennsylvania, the Creek Cottage is a dream vacation home.

In the winter, one can choose to go skiing or tubing for the day or even just the afternoon, at Ski Roundtop, only a half an hours drive from home. Right off the backyard of the Creek Cottage, runs the Yellow Breeches Creek, consistently stocked with trout, this creek has recently gained a national reputation to being home to some of the best fly fishing in America. It is also less than an hour away from outlet mall shopping.
The Allenberry Play House is the famous resort owned and operated by the Heinz family. The Historic Allenberry staged their first play in 1948 and has continued throughout the years with class and elegance.
One of the America’s most historic landmarks, The Gettysburg Battlefield, is located only half an hours drive from the Creek Cottage. In the same amount of time, one can drive out to Hershey Park and enjoy all the rides, entertainment and chocolate one’s inner child could desire.
The creek cottage has three bedrooms, two bathrooms, and a large great room consisting of an open kitchen, an entertainment center and a dining area. The master bedroom has a King sized bed and en-suite bathroom with a Jacuzzi tub. The other downstairs bedroom has 2 single beds. The upper floor has a bedroom, with two twin beds and an adjoining sitting room, with a queen sized pull down futon. Ideal for a family, short or long term rental, or home leave in the USA.

Loved it! What a peaceful little cottage to get away from it all. Our group of seven Moms made the short 45 minute trip from our homes (just far enough to get away from the kids and husbands) for a weekend of scrapbooking, movie watching and alot of just silly girl talk. We highly recommend the pizza at Anile's, yum! Next time we plan to try the Tavern. We just can't say enough about the place. The word "picturesque" definitely fits. - The Scrap Sistas Katie, Heather, Melinda, Laurie, Linda, Beth and Holly

As I type this, I am sitting on the back patio (the one in the photo), "drink" in hand and listening to the creek waters roll by. My fiance and I got this place for our wedding reception and for however great we thought it was when booking, we were blown away when we got here. Outside is peaceful and inside is spacious and cozy. If you are looking for a place to rent in Boiling Springs, this is the place to go...plus the owners have been great to work with.

We had a fabulous time at this quaint and lovely home! There were 6 of us who had rarely, if ever, spent time away from our husbands/children. It was better than we anticipated and certainly the relaxing weekend we were all looking for. We are anticipating another trip here in the fall!

We just returned from a relaxing week at this cottage with family. It was the perfect location for our mini-reunion. It is nicely decorated and stocked with high-quality linens and kitchenware. It made it feel like home to have such nice details. We got out on the paddle boat and canoe where many of the funniest memories took place. :) And the brothers enjoyed the pool table well into the night. All our daytrip destinations were much closer than I even expected. We intend to return next year a little earlier in the season to catch some of the summer attractions we missed.

We just returned from our visit to Boiling Springs and have to say that we had a wonderful time! The house is beautiful and well furnished. We were pleasantly surprised by how spacious it is and how tranquil. The fishing was good, loved seeing the ducks (whom we named Bob, Bernadette, and George), and just relaxing in this great setting. The owners were friendly and saw to our every need - even once we arrived. The location is very convenient for day trips to Hershey and Gettysburg. Boiling Springs itself is a beautiful setting. The pool in Boiling Springs and the Children's Lake are definitely highlights. This is definitely someplace that we look forward to returning to again!

This property is a treasure. Well maintained home right on a creek with use of a canoe and life jackets available. Linens provided of very nice quality and washer and dryer makes unpacking once home a breeze. Owner was a pleasure to work with and make arrangements with. A great place to relax and unwind, but also centrally located to many central PA day trips. We will be trying to find a sight to see near by just to use the property again. Thank you so much for sharing your home!

If you are looking for a get-away that is near a big metro area, but still feels like you are a million miles away, this is it! With a short 2 hour drive outside of DC, we were able to enjoy a tranquil weekend of relaxation and fishing. We took advantage of the use of canoe and paddle boat, and lovely dock in the backyard. We also were able to grill and enjoy the deck, swing, and grassy backyard. We also enjoyed walking around the lake and historic homes in the village of Boiling Springs. The home was clean and had ample space for six adults. The owners were very informative throughout the rental process.

My family and I rented this cottage for a holiday weekend and were very happy with the accommodations. The cottage was clean and well maintained. It had all the necessary household amenities with a nice fireplace that made it very cozy. Sheets, linens and hand soaps were provided. It slept 5 adults and 1 child comfortably with a large master bedroom and bath. It has a nice deck and swing in the backyard which we enjoyed. And the view of the creek was pleasant. A train does cross close to the house, but we did not find it to be detraction to the property at all. The location was relatively easy to find in the area and the owner was very pleasant and responsive. I would recommend this property to a friend. We rented it site unseen and were pleased. If in the area again, we would rent this property again. It is a nice getaway!
