The Creek House was a beautiful little place. As my first experience using Vrbo, every aspect was excellent. Check in was quick and easy. The small home was spotlessly clean with countless small touches to make me feel at home and relaxed. I look forward to many bookings in the future when visiting family in the area. Hopefully to stay longer than just 2-3 days.

Had an amazing time. The property looks exactly as shown in pictures. We were looking for something with a body of water and kind of secluded and this definitely checked all the boxes. There are some properties near by, but with all the trees u definitely feel like your the only house around. Very clean and the bed was so comfy. Had the best time lounging around on the patio and the hammock/swings talking and watching the water. Will definitely stay again.

The owners were very nice and quick responding. But to not have running water and working toilet. And the fact that the heat in the house being ran off space heaters I just can’t give a good rating. Felt very much like I was staying in someone’s garage.

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.

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 🙂

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.

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!
