About this property

Historic Ox Bow House c.1800 "The Cabin at Muddy Creek"

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.

Heaven on earth.

This property was so dreamy! It is situated on a beautiful creekside meadow and the historic stone house has been meticulously renovated. We saw deer and an eagle on the property while there. What a great place to take life easy for awhile!

Perfect Getaway to End the Summer

Our stay at Jodi’s place was absolutely perfect. From pre-check in communications to check-out we could not have had a better experience. The house was beautiful and exactly as described and our kids had fun playing in the river, finding crawfish, tadpoles, and pieces of old china, while the adults relaxed and enjoyed the beautiful views and quiet. We can’t wait to come back!

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!).

Amazing Weekend Away

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!

Splendid!

Our first visit and we hope to return! Inside everything was as listed, and even better than the pics. We were in awe of the detailed millwork, there were luxurious touches everywhere, and the internet worked perfectly. Outside it was a magical oasis. Very private and lots to explore if you’re so inclined. Highly recommend!

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.

Wonderful experience

We had a great time. Went tubing down the creek every day, our two labs swam next to us. Easy walk back to the house. The property is huge and clean. The house is tastefully furnished, the kitchen well-stocked. We will go back as soon as we can. Thank you to two wonderful hosts!

Relaxing Weekend at Muddy Creek

There was a lot to explore on the property. We were able to just sit back and enjoy the surroundings. Enjoyed watching a snapping turtle make its way through the yard, a turkey make an appearance, a fawn grab a drink from the creek, a passing heron fly by, and a family of mergansers float by. The house takes you back in time with the luxury of modern amenities. Great chance to recharge. Hosts were more than accommodating.

Beautiful and Pet friendly

I was looking for a place with access to water that would allow me to bring my 3 dogs. I got that and so much more. My dogs had a full 40 acres to explore and a river they could swim in. The scenery was breath taking. The house was also amazing but who would want to stay inside with a fire pit, swings, and hot tub outside! So incredible and my dogs had a blast!

Unique and cozy!

My family (husband, 1.5year old, and dog) and I had a great time at the cabin! We booked it for a long weekend and planned to go to the Great Wild Lodge water park one day. It was not too far and a perfect location to just get away! The property is beautiful and amazing - my toddler and dog loved exploring. The house is so cozy and unique. Our dog did have trouble going down the stairs once he was up he was too scared to come down, but we just went down with him along the stairs on the side of the house and it was fine! We also had a fantastic experience with the hosts - very communicative and gracious - There was a nice welcome basket upon arrival :) Thanks for an awesome stay!

Perfect getaway in the countryside

Jodi & Adam's property is absolutely stunning. The house is even better in person than the pictures. Incredible attention to details in decorating the house, everything you need is there down to the welcoming s'mores kit and bottle of wine. The grounds are very well taken care off and the creek made for fun splashing for the dog and the humans. We only stayed two days (one night) because of scheduling conflicts so we didn't try out the kayaks or tubes. Give Ma Pa Pizza a try - you won't regret it! We certainly hope to be back soon! Thanks again for sharing this beautiful piece of land with the rest of us!

Amazing Week

We had a wonderful week at the cabin at Muddy Creek. The property is amazing. We went on walks around the property. The pictures do not even begin to show how beautiful and peaceful it is. My husband and I had to work while there for a few days and the internet was fantastic, it worked both in and outside the house so that i was able to work while my daughter played on the swing or in the creek. We were able to visit the Lancaster area for the day and be back in time for dinner at the Cabin which was really nice. The hosts were fantastic. We were able to do smores by the campfire one night and even tube down the creek in front of the house. We also found a really cute brewery nearby called Slate Farm Brewery just over the Maryland border, which was really fun. Overall a fantastic experience and we cant wait to come back next year!

Tranquil & Peaceful Getaway!!!

What an amazing stay we had!!! First and foremost the hosts of the property are absolutely amazing. Their communication was clear, they answered all questions quickly, were extremely welcoming and shared all their knowledge of the area to insure a positive stay....just all around 5 star host. This property is an absolute gem of a find and offers a wide variety of things to do. From all the outdoor activities, to the small town flair there are plenty of amenities to keep you occupied. Fishing in the morning, hiking in the afternoon, and then resting around the firepit in the evening; we could not of asked for a more relaxing and stress relieving vacation. For us, the property is just a short trip from Md. to Pa.; however when you are there, you feel like you are miles away from home. It is very private and quiet. The home is very comfortable and the interior design flows perfectly with the structure. Our favorite part was sitting at the firepit that over looks the creek; just watching the water go by. Listening to music, counting the different type of wildlife, throwing a fishing line in...and not a worry in the world. Just a great place to be. There is no question that we will be back to this property!!! Thank you to the owners for sharing your little slice of heaven with us. Very grateful and looking forward to heading back up soon!!!
