The location was lovely. We enjoyed sitting outside and listening to the creek. Even had the elk walk by and grazed out in the front yard. The cabin is well stocked. Welcome instructions were detailed and clear. This was a girlfriend's trip. We all said that the Cake Creek Cabin would be a great place to bring our families to.

We couldn’t imagine a more perfect place for our mini family reunion. Not only was there ample space for everyone, all of our needs - and wants - were anticipated. The kitchen was very well equipped, the bathrooms clean and updated, the beds were comfortable, and the deck on the creek was a little piece of heaven. We even had a visit from the local elk! Our time went too fast and we were all sad to leave. We consoled ourselves by promising to return. Thanks, Kevin, for being such a great host!

Easy to drive to (no steep hills), we walked and explored all of Christopher Creek from the house, we all loved the porch and homey feeling of the house and only 15-20min to Woods Canyon lake. We will definitely be staying again.

Our host, Kevin was cordial and responsive. I can see why he is a premier host. This is a very nice cozy place on the creek. There was a large deck overlooking the creek, with a rod iron fence all around so we did not have to worry about kids. I love the game room/ bedroom with a bunk bed and day bed. There are 2 masters which was perfect for our group. They even had a cabinet with spices, etc. The pantry had an automatic motion light. The neighborhood was beautiful and I felt safe and secure. We enjoyed the birds and ducks. The general store was just a short .4 mile scenic walk. Close to lodges, taverns and lakes. I wouldn't recommend turning on the units in the bedrooms as they were a little loud however the weather was amazingly beautiful so they weren't really needed. We had the greatest time and I would highly recommend this place for a relaxing stay in the pines. The wooden floors in the downstairs master were a beautiful blue vintage wood and the dressers were so unique. I will stay again. Very comfortable and perfect for our group retreat. Thank you Kevin for an awesome stay!

I couldn't have been happier about our choice of locations or our stay. The home is beautifully nested amongst the trees and right on the creek with a large partially covered patio that included a perfect gas grill; although we couldn't use it due to the season the built in fire pit was an added plus. The home was clean and stocked with all the necessities and the hosts were top notch. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend this spot friends, family or the masses!
