The location was beautiful and peaceful. Our dogs and teenage kids loved exploring the creeks. We enjoyed the very close Hoop Hole hike as well. We will come stay here if we are in the area again!

Bobbi and Mitch’s cabin in a word is, perfection. The sleeping porch was heavenly. Waking to natural light, turkey gobbles, and woodpeckers feeding was so peaceful. The canoe and kayaks made for fun adventures down the creek and my husband and son enjoyed fishing along the banks. With recommendations from Bobbi, we took 3 glorious hikes - one with spectacular bluebells in bloom. We felt like family in all communications and loved being at this cabin. The s’mores parts and lots of firewood provided made our nightly fire pits great. Looking forward to coming back this summer to float the river on the provided tubes! Thank you, Bobbi and Mitch!

Great, quiet getaway

Ours was just a quick trip, but we still were able to see Natural Bridge, the Safari Park, and spend a day hiking and on the river. The little cottage in the woods had everything we needed and we are already talking about returning in a different season.

Cute Cabin

The property was really clean and there were so many things there that we forgot to bring ourselves like camping chairs to use down by the creek, bug spray, dish soap etc. The owners were super nice and made sure we were comfortable during our stay. I would recommend this place to anyone who wants to disconnect for a while.

This sweet cabin is the perfect mix of rustic charm and "lets live in reality" necessities. Could not ask for it to be cleaner, or cozier. Many thanks for sharing the peace and quiet with two very exhausted humans and one recently adopted dog who LOVED every minute in your slice of heaven!

Friend weekend getaway

Our stay on Craig Creek was wonderful! The weather was incredibly windy so we couldn't do much on the creek and lost power due to the insane winds Saturday but it was so lovely to be outside and exploring the area right around the cabin. Mitch reported the outage for us and called us when the power was restored to ensure everything was ok. The porch bedroom was amazing as well! It was so nice to wake up with the creek and mountain view directly in front of you and we could see the stars at night from our bed!

Amazing Spot

This is an older cabin so do not expect luxury. The spot is all about the privacy, view, outdoor space and access to a a lovely creek with easy launch of your own or provided kayaks. Lots of smaller red eye bass to catch The stream water is crystal clear and great for the dogs. Shade in the evening for the enclosed porch. Great internet signal if you can’t leave work behind. The nearby Roaring Run hike is spectacular when open. Nearest real grocery is 30 minutes away so pack well.
