Great place to stay

Perfect-sized house in a quiet neighborhood, but close to everywhere we needed to be. We both work remotely, and there was plenty of room to spread out and not disturb each other. The kitchen had everything we needed to cook a meal for some family members we were visiting.

This was such a lovely little place…everything was very clean and uncluttered and well kept…And I really do appreciate hosts adding the extra little touches to welcome guests…there was a cute little snack basket, a few waters in the fridge and I love a well put together guest book!! We had a great evening and enjoyed our visit to Longwood Gardens…

Look no further because this is your place full of Nature and tranquility.

I had a wonderful time at the cozy cottage, it was just what I needed during this time. If you want to get away from the same everyday life, this is your place. It’s surrounded by endless nature and tranquility. There was a small issue during my stay, but Brian and Nicki wasted no time to resolve it. If you also like homemade ice cream, there’s a nice farm not too far selling delicious servings. I’m extremely pleased with my stay and hope to go back in the near future.

Another perfect stay!

This was our second stay at Pike Creek Cottage while visiting family and friends in the area. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay with all the comforts of home. Nicki and Brian keep everything clean and up to date. It's always a pleasure working with them to arrange our trips. I expect we'll be back next Spring as well. When you find your "home away from home" there's no need to look elsewhere : )

I love that I am able to share this beautiful cottage with you! I am a wife and mom of 4. We love to travel and can be found at the beach most of the summer. Don't threaten us with a good time because we will be there! I am a born and raised Delaware resident so any requests for local recommendations I can certainly provide.

Why they chose this property

This property has been fully renovated to feel at home yet uncluttered. It has character and is inviting for anyone passing through, visiting friends & family or looking for a getaway.

What makes this property unique

This property sits on about an acre of land. It is on a quiet road but keeps you close to where you need to be. It is uniquely centrally located to so many wonderful aspects of Delaware. There is a funny saying around here that everything is 20 minutes away and it is so true!
