Wonderful Stay!
Desperately needed a quiet getaway and the cottage was perfect! Easy to find and quiet. Loved sitting in the swing sipping my coffee and listening to the birds and things. Just melted into the bed! So comfortable! Would love to return and stay again!

Comfortable, cosy cottage
We spent 11 nights at the Creekside Cottage for our summer vacation. Beautiful, serene location. The property is well managed with trees, plants, and flowers. The screen porch at the back is ideal for taking in the surroundings. The cottage is clean and stocked with everything you would need for a home away from home. We cooked some of our meals after buying supplies from SPD grocery store, which is a 5 min drive from the property. Convenient location. Cottage is a short 10 minute walk from town and has access to several trails. The hosts were helpful and communicative. They were in touch via text during the check in process and during the stay with helpful tips and responded to questions promptly. The only suggestion we would make is to reorient or reposition the window AC unit. The air was directed up to the ceiling and didn't properly cool the rooms. We had to use the fans instead. Other than that, we had a wonderful time and hope to return.

Liked: Cleanliness
I loved this property. The cleanliness was good, loved the quietude and smells of the woods.
Great place to de-stress. Easy coming and going to city and nature. Friendly people. Thought the cottage was next to the creek based on online photos, but still quite happy with my experience. Had somewhat of allergic reaction (animal hair, dander) but not to the point of being uncomfortable. ( sneezed a bit, eye itch at one point.) Owners were communicative, accomodating and responsive. 4.25+ starts. Thanks for the much needed relaxation.

Secluded and pastoral retreat
Betsy is an amazing host! Excellent communication, affable personality, and gracious manner. We spent more time just hanging out on the screened-in back porch than inside (beautifully decorated and easy to find everything inside, we just enjoyed ourselves out there); coming in only to eat and sleep and clean up. The trees surrounding the property afforded us both privacy and quiet, and we left the doors open to enjoy all the fresh mountain air wafting through. Lovely host, lovely property. We’ll be back!
