We like to visit the Shawnee area during the Fall, Winter and Spring for hiking. We really wanted to get away tho for the 4th for some peace and quiet with our dog. This was EXACTLY that! I think maybe 2 cars went by the property. It had everything!!! We have stayed in this area for years and this was one of the if not the best place we have stayed especially for the price. It was beautiful, clean and the host thought of everything we needed. We are unable to stay this Fall but the Spring for our anniversary we will be back!!!

This cabin is cute, rustic and tastefully decorated. The surrounding land is gorgeous forest and there is lots of privacy. The cabin was thoughtfully outfitted with everything we wanted and needed. The host was friendly and accommodating and we would absolutely stay here again!

We couldn’t have been more pleased with every aspect of our stay. The cabin and location were beyond our expectations!No detail was overlooked by the owners, and the note from the owners made our stay feel even more special!We talked many times on our 3 hour drive home about future visits to this wonderful cabin, and bringing our children next time. Do not hesitate to put this gem on your list, it does not disappoint!

Wine Trail & Coziness

We came here to bring our daughter (22) to the wine trail for her birthday. We lucked out when we booked this little gem of a cabin for our trip. Amenities were beyond expectations, cabin was cozy, beautiful, and plenty of room for the 4 of us! We are definitely booking again!!

Artfully crafted cabin

You want to stay here. You just do! The color scheme, fixtures, soft finishes, every detail was carefully curated. It’s cozy and quaint, it’s updated and turn key. You’re surrounded by the Shawnee national forest and hiking galore! We visited town in Alto Pass which was about a 15 minute drive to get out of the woods. Plenty of worthwhile stops there! A wonderful stay. We will be back and bring our kids to the adorable loft upstairs. Thank you for a flawless anniversary getaway!

About the host

Hosted by ANDREA KOSYDOR

Host profile image
In 2023 our family fell in love with this property for it’s beauty, quiet, and cool rocks! The creek beds that run through the property are normally dry and provide a unique playground for our kids. When we spent the whole day outside, our family knew this was our happy place to build a cabin and explore the Shawnee more!

We spent a year, weekends only, building and designing every detail and finally the Cabin at Cool Rock Creek is finished! We are so excited to share this unique and cozy cabin surrounded by beautiful forest for more to fall in love with the Shawnee like we did.

We hope you have a great time, and come back to stay soon!
