About this property

Historic Ox Bow House c.1800 - Waterfront

A cabin in the woods with a hot coffee and warm blanket nestled by a beautiful fire pit overlooking the creek is just what everyone needs to getaway.

The cabin at Muddy Creek is a beautifully restored stone home on 40+ acres with over 4,000 ft of the creek running through it. A perfect getaway for those really looking to get away from the hustle and bustle of every day life. It's whatever you want to make it! Tons of things to get into with the family or a peaceful place to relax and really connect with nature. Not to mention .. pet friendly! We love our furry family members and think they should be included in family vacations as well! Regardless of what you do here, the sound of the running water from the creek that runs through the property really soothes the soul.

Enjoy our property to its full potential .. Have fun spending the day fishing, kayaking (two single kayaks available), tubing (4 tubes available), hiking, or just walking the grounds. The little ones love going into the stream to catch crawdads and salamanders! There is so much fun to be had and plenty of memories to be made here!

If you're more low key, this is the perfect place for you as well! Enjoy the sound of the running water in our adirondack chairs down near the creek and if you're really feeling adventurous, light up a fire in the pit! You could also take a walk over to the tree swing or the bridge and relax with a good book.

We do need to note that this house was built in the 1800s, it for sure was not built the way homes are made today (which obviously makes this home VERY special) The two staircases in the house are narrow and you may need to be careful and possibly have to duck your head a little going up and down. We would say if you have mobility issues you may want to figure out if staying here is the best plan for you.

Jodi was a wonderful host. This home has such rich history and you see the love and details they have put into restoring this home. We loved the pet run for our dog and although we do not have young kids, there is plenty of activities to enjoy for all ages. We will definitely be booking another stay.

Wonderful Home - Perfect Relaxation

We loved our stay at this adorable cottage. The private river access and spots to sit along the river were well thought out and gorgeous. The cottage itself was well decorated and felt cozy. They even had a dog run outside, which was perfect. We'd definitely stay here again.

Second time staying at Adam and Jodi’s slice of paradise. I stayed once during the winter andJust knew I had to return. I just stayed for weekend in August and enjoyed tubing/kayaking right off their property on muddy creek. ThisProperty will not disappoint. it was so nice to see my husband disconnect and peacefully fish,My in-laws laughing down the most beautiful creek tubing and birdwatching and my dogs running free and rolling in the grass. Highly recommend for nature lovers and if you truly want to relax unwind and stay on location thisPlace will check all the boxes

Beautiful property. We had a great weekend with friends tubing, enjoying the property, and exploring the area. Our dogs loved the place. Had an issue with yellow jackets in the dog run, but the owners were super responsive. We plan to come back. If we were to imagine our dream home, it would be this! What a special place!

Amazing property!

I thought we were renting a cute cabin but had no idea about the property itself. The cabin is indeed adorable (and 200 years old!) but also on acres of land, a creek, and it's stunning. The hosts were responsive and thoughtful, and made our stay comfortable. Every detail considered. Highly recommend (but don't tell everyone, we want to be future renters too!).

A magical escape!

I would give this property more than 5 stars if possible! We were blown away by the property! The grounds were beautiful and having your own private river park for tubing and exploring is priceless. The cabin is perfect- clean and cozy, with all the necessary amenities. The swings, kayaks, and tubes are the icing on the cake. This was my favorite vacation rental so far! We hope to return!

Secluded getaway

Had a peaceful stay. Accommodation was convenient. A bit muddy for dogs but the dog run was dry. For an old dog, the stairs were an issue but access to the dog run on the second floor was convenient. Definitely an option if I need to be in town again

Birthday Weekend

The cabin at muddy creek couldn’t have been a better choice for a birthday weekend. The property is amazing and gave us the opportunity to completely unplug. It was a great place for our dog Lucy as well with trails and the creek steps from the house. Jodi and Adam were excellent hosts who made the entire check in and check out process seamless and we’re always a text away if need be. We look forward to our next visit.
