About this property

The Cottage on Clarks Creek welcomes you. Jyoti and Michael’s newly built, secluded abode is nestled in the woods just steps away from an immaculate watershed creek. The lodge consists of 2 bedrooms, 1 full bath with not only a shower but separate jacuzzi tub, plus another ½ bathroom. The kitchen is equipped with all the appliances.

On the property, for your use, is a creekside, fully screened in, (not kid friendly) meditation room that is suspended right above the flowing water. The perfect spot to relax, have a meal or morning coffee. Mountain water flows through the creek making it pristine for fishing, rock stacking or floating. The Appalachian trail and Fly Fishing areas are around 1 mile from the property.

Between your getaway and the creek lives two fireplaces, one large stone fireplace with built-in seating, and the other is a smaller creekside fireplace.

Jyoti and Michael created a quiet, zen space intended for a romantic and relaxing getaway, we live next to the cottage. We will respect your privacy. If you are looking to party this is not the place for you.

Hershey Park is 28 miles and 35 minutes drive from the cottage..

A peaceful oasis in Dauphin

We could not have been happier with our stay at Michael and Jyoti's cottage. Every element of the cottage has been thoughtfully decorated and organized; the meditation room and beautifully landscaped trail by the creek elevated our stay beyond our expectations. We recommend this calming and restorative stay to anyone seeking a peaceful retreat near Harrisburg.

A shimmering gem in the woods

We feel so grateful to be able to stay here at this magical cottage for a long overdue getaway . Michael and Jyoti were so welcoming and hospitable and are truly amazing people (and Jyoti is an outstanding chef as well!). Everything was so perfect, the meditation room was absolutely incredible and inspiring. We spent as much time surrounded by the sights and sounds of nature as we possibly could, listening to the the water flow down the creek, hearing the melody of the birds and smelling the sweet fragrance of the blossoming flowers and pines. The cottage was comfy and cozy with all the modern touches and conveniences that made us feel at home away from home. We leave here feeling rejuvenated, renewed, grounded, healed and look forward to staying here again someday soon.

Beautiful, relaxing stay

Book this place! It's even more beautiful in person. This was the perfect home for a relaxing weekend getaway. Michael and Jyoti were gracious, communicative hosts, who provided lots of thoughtful details and recommendations. The house is modern and stylish, while still cozy and welcoming. Beautiful area, close to some fun hikes, cool shops, and great restaurants.

An oasis of calm

The Cottage on Clark’s Creek was the best weekend getaway we’ve done! Michael and Jyoti are impeccable hosts and their property just oozes calmness and tranquility. Me and my partner were looking to have a weekend stress free and away from the city and that was just what we had. Could not recommend this property enough, we are hoping to coming back soon!

Cottage on Clarks Creek

My husband and I had a wonderful weekend staying at this property! We were so appreciative of the obvious care and thought Michael and Jyoti put into all of the spaces, but most especially the meditation room on the creek. We definitely intend to return!
