"Creek House"

Our family loved our time at the "Creek House" as our 3 year old would say. Such a beautiful spot. Most of our time was spent down by the creek or the nearby bike trail. Perfect location for our weekend adventure. Thank you to Roxanne & family for letting us stay at your home.

This property is crying for some TLC and proper maintenance.

We booked this property to take advantage of the location and looked forward to exploring the Pine Creek Trail. But, upon arrival we were very disappointed in the condition of the home. The pictures on VRBO are VERY deceiving. Yes, the description is correct, but it didn't mention that the floor in the kitchen is sinking and the floorboards are popping up. The front doorknob fell off and my husband had to fix it, some start to a vacation. The outside furniture on the lawn is so old and rusty, come on. The carpet inside is beyond sanitary! You have to have superman strength to open the sliding door onto the screen porch. And, the entire grounds are infested with red ants and wasp nests. PLEASE get an exterminator! Whoever the owner payed to clean did a terrible job. It was cleaner when we left. The dishwasher doesn't work either. This could have been a nice stay, if the owner took better care of the place. Also, why don't you offer the use of the bicycles and kayak you have in your garage? That would have been nice, other properties do... Oh, the WiFi they have doesn't allow voice calls, just 911, but you can get text messages.Anyway, I don't recommend this property for a relaxing vacation.

Wonderful!

We enjoyed four days at this cozy cottage on Pine Creek. It was the perfect spot to enjoy some bike riding on the rail trail and some fishing while also celebrating our son’s graduation from nearby Lock Haven University.

Family Fishing Trip

We had a really great time getting away for the weekend. The weather wasn’t the best for fishing but we still made the best of it. The house was so charming, you really felt like it was home away from home. We will be back for another trip for sure.

A gorgeous retreat

We fell in love with the area the second that we entered the neighborhood and it only got better from there. The backyard of this house leads to a creek and Mountain View, you just can’t beat it! If you’re looking for an up-scale home, then this one may feel more dated to you, but if you like a homie feeling place that adds to nostalgia with games and VHS tapes, then look no further!

Beautiful river home!!!

We had a pleasant stay on the river. We were looking for an end of summer trip, we were hoping to be able to swim in the river, unfortunately the weather wasn't the best. It was enjoying enough to be able to enjoy the beautiful property from the porch though. We ended up going on several hikes in the area and just spending some quality time with the kids!!! Very cozy home, very comfortable!!!
