Easy to drive to (no steep hills), we walked and explored all of Christopher Creek from the house, we all loved the porch and homey feeling of the house and only 15-20min to Woods Canyon lake. We will definitely be staying again.

I couldn't have been happier about our choice of locations or our stay. The home is beautifully nested amongst the trees and right on the creek with a large partially covered patio that included a perfect gas grill; although we couldn't use it due to the season the built in fire pit was an added plus. The home was clean and stocked with all the necessities and the hosts were top notch. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend this spot friends, family or the masses!

Wonderful gem

Nice house, well renovated, and very clean. Plenty of room for large family. Will definstly stay again. My only criticism is it would have been better if the upstairs room had an aiir conditioner. Otherwise the house was great!

Very spacious, updated and well maintained. Enjoyed hearing the creek running just off the huge back patios. Having elk roam freely throughout the area is a bonus. Seems great for family gatherings

Amazing cabin on the Creek!

My family and I including 4 grown boys had a wonderful time at the cabin! The creek runs along the entire back! The cabin was exactly like the description! We left our Roku and the owners mailed it to us. We will definitely be back to stay!
