Beautiful place to stay

Beautiful place to stay, unfortunately it was just me and my dog. I would love to come back in warmer weather to fish 🐟. However, the snow was beautiful and view of the deer 🦌 across from the drive, eating was amazingly peaceful.

Sugar Creek Place is simply awesome

Property is everything and more you would want in a retreat. Beautiful setting, firepits, fireplace, great kitchen. Spring Creek is just below house and is terrific to relax by and have a fire. Hosts are very inviting and make sure everything is just so. My family had a wonderful time at Sugar Crek Place!

The property was beautiful, spotless, and well appointed. We were in the area to visit family, so the location was perfect! When we arrived, everything was perfect, including treats for our dogs! The house had everything we needed and more than we imagined. The house was very comfortable, allowing us the opportunity to relax and reconnect after our long days. The outdoor space gave us plenty of space for our dogs to explore safely. The host left excellent instructions and was super responsive. We have already booked our next trip!

Sugar Creek Place was a delight! Our hosts thought of every detail and were extremely responsive before and during our stay. We loved the place so much we chose to stay in and get takeout on our first night vs our plan to go out for dinner! :) We were particularly delighted by the airy nature of the home and the multiple gatherings spaces with opportunities to sit by a gas or wood fire! It was truly delightful! We were in town for a family wedding and 7 adults shared the space very comfortably.

We originally booked this property to take our elderly parents on a guided fly fishing trip, but had to reschedule. The hosts were extremely kind and easy to work with! After rescheduling and arriving in Sept rather than March there was no fishing capability as the water was too low, however we still enjoyed the fire pit at the creek’s edge, the cottage was very well equipped and comfortable. We cooked, relaxed and caught up on family affairs. Our parents are in their 80s and they thought it was absolutely PERFECT! Loved how dog friendly it was too!

WHAT A JEM!!

Oh my gosh, this place is where you want to stay! We had everything we needed and more! The house was very clean, so comfortable, and all-around welcoming! We did a girl's trip and had more than enough room. The beds are great, bathrooms are unique and so nice, and the outside is pleasant too. We built a fire down by the water, enjoyed that immensely. We all talked about going back and I really hope it happens. We will be talking about this great stay for a long time! Thank you hosts!!

What a lovely property

This house is an amazing getaway. It’s nestled in the middle of an area full of beautiful trees and wildlife. We saw deer from the window one afternoon, and other wildlife running thru the property on and off. The house was comfortable and clean. The property manager was very responsive to any concerns. We are already planning our next stay here. Thanks for an enjoyable week.

Little Bit of Heaven

From the moment you pull in the driveway to the property, you feel welcome. Trees, chipmunks, toads, flowers, the sound of the birds and the creek, it doesn't get much better. If you are looking for a great place to relax and have a 'factory reset' this place is it. Great communication, little details that make you smile and a host that thinks of just about everything you'll need. It's an absolutely gorgeous home and look forward to visiting in the future. Would highly recommend...Sugarcreek Place you were exactly what we needed. Thanks again.

Just like home...

In addition to the positive reviews, we also chose this home due to it being centrally located between Pittsburgh and Erie. This was our annual vacation with our adult sons, which is priceless. The home is just as described, beautifully decorated, fully functioning and very comfortable. The kitchen has everything one may need; the quality of the kitchen dishes, cookware, etc... is high. We made an early Thanksgiving dinner and chocolate chip cookies. There is even a milk frother to make a cappuccino! We highly recommend this rental and we plan to return next year.

We loved Sugar Creek Place! The home is so welcoming and well stocked with kitchen appliances, snacks, games, and even dog treats. We loved the fireplace by the creek. Kristen and Kevin were very responsive when a tree fell across the road and had it removed with an hour. The area has lots of outdoor activities- fishing, kayaking, hiking. We did a kayak trip with OARS in Franklin. We had great food and drinks at Trails to Ales. The kids loved having S’mores every night. Our family pup loved playing fetch in the creek. We would love to come back again.
