Perfect space to relax and unwind. Peaceful, quiet setting only a few minutes from town. Everything is ready stocked for your needs. You're really made to feel welcome. Pet toys, leashes, treats, even a cover for the sofa. Fenced in yard. Babbling creek, camp fire, rockers, porch swing where you could even nap among the trees.. We enjoyed our stay so much. Looking forward to come again in the future. Thank you for sharing this paradise.

Our entire stay was fantastic from beginning to end. We had planned on going into town but never did because we didn’t want to leave this beautiful place! Hosts were very gracious, and were prompt and courteous with all communications. Our little shih-tzu loved being able to roam around without being on a leash due to the fenced in property. We had one rainy day but even that was so tranquil in the porch swing looking out over the beautiful grounds. Thank you for a very relaxing getaway, I’m sure we will be back!

Review of Mountain Creek Retreat Cabin

This cabin was clean, well decorated and had all appliances, cooking utensils, plates and silverware necessary for a family on holiday. The owners were extremely friendly and helpful. Would recommend this property to others as we intend to rent there in the future. Also, they are very pet friendly!

Zoe & Eric have made this cabin a home away from home! The cabin is thoughtfully equipped and nicely decorated! Our pups loved running around and we were comfortable with that since the property is all fenced in. Secluded and private yet so close to town. We had a lovely time!
