We were in the midst of moving and needed a place to stay temporarily. Clearing out a home after 35 years was stressful and I had my fingers crossed that the property I chose would be as described. Yes, It was lovely!! We had everything we could possibly need for the week. It was clean and beds were comfortable and added touches like a bed for our dog, and basket of toys and treats was appreciated. We would definitely stay again and recommend Thornton Creek highly!!
