About the host

Hosted by Jason Sullivan and Lori Jackson

Host profile image
Lori and I bought this cottage in August of 2020. I have always wanted to have a place on Pine Creek. I learned how to trout fish on Pine Creek as a kid. I also kayaked down through the canyon every spring for 20 years. I did that until I decided that I didn't like sleeping on the ground anymore. After I met Lori we started coming to this area together. She also fell in love with how peaceful it is.

Why they chose this property

I had been looking for a home in this area for sometime. This home was just what I was looking for, from the size of the house and property. This cottage is also far enough away from our residential home in New York and it feels like we are getting away. It takes us about an hour to get to the cottage. The access to Pine Creek just a walk away was a selling point along with how cozy it is.

What makes this property unique

We loved the back yard with the views of Pine Creek just down over the bank. The access state road to drive down to unload your raft, kayak & canoes within 1 tenth of a mile is great. The state game lands that are great for hunting all around made this a great spot for a vacation rental.
