Home away from home. We have stayed twice. Highly recommend to our friends & family. This is our favorite to rent because it is well stocked for comfort.
Everything was very neat and clean. The host was great and prompt. They had a few extra hospitality items such as an assortment of coffee and tea, a snack basket, and a set up to make some easy cookies.
A bit of rural living near the city. Open fields surround the house making for a very quiet stay. House is large and immaculate. Nice large fenced yard for the dogs. Would highly recommend for anyone visiting the area.
This place was adorable and great for a group stay

Thank you, Dane. You are one of the best. We appreciate your choosing Creekside Retreat. We’ve put lots of planning and effort to making it a comfy place for family gatherings.
This house was wonderful. From the spacious rooms, to the kids toys, to how well every amenity was noted, we had a relaxing an easy stay. We particularly appreciated the nice touches like the cookie baking set, bath bombs, and more. It was clear how much thought and care went into making this a great place to stay?
I came into town to visit my son and daughter in law who recently relocated to Albany. The house was perfect for our group. 2 of my boys have disabilities and the house worked out perfectly for everyone. It was very clean.
Wonderful hosts that go out of their way to make their guests feel at home. So many special touches. Great communication. We will definitely be back again!
We really enjoyed our stay. The little extra touches were so nice. The communication was really good and fast responses. We really appreciated their hospitality. We will definitely be back.

Thank you. We’re glad you enjoyed your stay and made some new memories.
Rodney is a great host! We were in town for my sons wedding, and he accommodated my request for a slightly early check in, so that I could get refreshed before the rehearsal for the wedding. The house was so clean, the kitchen was well stocked, and the bathrooms had plenty of towels. We had a slight problem with the code for the front door, and Rodney immediately answered his phone and had the door open in under 2 minutes. I would definitely stay here again!
Rodney and Heather were excellent and communicative hosts and the property was a fantastic place for us to stay with our pup(s). The fridge was stocked with fresh eggs and other condiments, the kitchen was spacious and offered the cookware we needed, everything was tidy and clean and as an added bonus, they offered complimentary snacks, bottled water, and chocolate chip cookies to bake. They knew we were coming in for a couple OSU football games and the welcome board greeting included not only "Welcome", but also "Go Beavers!" and "OSU" which was such a thoughtful and personal added touch. The setting is cozy, quiet and beautiful! We had such a lovely stay . . .thank you both for being such wonderful hosts!
A great Vrbo! The place was very clean and you could tell the hosts put a lot of thought into the arrangements and amenities. This was our first time traveling with our 7 month old so we were a bit nervous, but Heather and Rodney had great accommodations for our baby and kids of all ages! Would recommend this place for anyone. Albany is a beautiful town but just relaxing in the home felt like a vacation in itself!

It does our hearts good to see and hear guests enjoying the many small touches we bring to Creekside Retreat. We are a “Mom and Pop” crew who clean and prepares the house. We take pride in our hands on approach and want to ensure our guests get the best we have to offer.
We are so incredibly thankful the hosts allowed us to stay. We booked short notice and had a few extra accommodations they do graciously allowed. I’m so glad we stayed in their home. Not only was it very clean and comfortable, it really just felt like home and after a long day of travel, it’s what we all needed. The kids greatly enjoyed all of the games and they even stated several times they wish that we could just live there. We felt very safe with our pets out in the yard as well. Nice quiet and private area with everything you need and more. Highly recommend.

Thank you for your graciousness, patience, and understanding while we worked to prep the house. We’re happy it worked out and were able to accommodate you and your family. We can’t always make short notice work, but appreciative guest like you make the extra effort worth while.
Everything about the Creekside Retreat was perfect! The kitchen has everything you need. The beds are comfortable, and the bedrooms are all good size. The Master suite is lovely. There are cute signs around the house with information about your stay.Hosts Rodney and Heather supply complementary snacks, coffee, and breakfast items. The property location is close to a very nice market and the Historical Downtown. My family was very happy with Creekside Retreat. We even talked about a trip to Albany as an annual family event.Rodney and Heather went the extra mile, they had a beautiful bouquet of flowers with a condolence card as we were in town to finalize our Mother's final wishes. We were very touched by their thoughtfulness.
This is one of the easiest and most comfortable rentals I’ve had. The house is set up very well, rooms are spacious (especially the Master BR), & all of the little extras were much appreciated. Perfect family home base. My mom, brother and I felt immediately at home and this will be our go-to for future visits to the area. Thanks again for the wonderful digs!
