Our stay was very peaceful, whether sitting on the deck with our morning coffee or enjoying the rushing water of the property's creek. A great place to unwind and relax from the hustle and bustle of city-living.

We had a wonderful stay at the creek house. The property is situated on a large, private lot, making it the perfect place to relax and unwind. We especially loved the creek running through the property, it added so much charm and made the setting feel peaceful and secluded.The house was fully stocked with everything we needed, and there was more than enough space for our group of eight to spread out comfortably. The location was also ideal for spending time at Lake Collins, with easy access while still feeling like a quiet retreat.We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and wouldn’t hesitate to book this property again. Highly recommended!

Outstanding property

I've been reserving this property weekly for awhile now for my forestry crew, and they've been very comfortable. It's been the nicest place they've stayed yet.

Great place in the California gold country!

Wonderful and private creekside setting. The home has a wonderful open layout all on one level. There was nothing lacking. Very family friendly and we had an amazing time.

Gorgeous Getaway

We could not have been happier with The Creekhouse! Plenty of space, very clean, and stocked with everything we needed. You can hear the creek from the house, and it was so relaxing and peaceful. We will definitely be back!

Peaceful and relaxing

The property is beautiful and it was so easy to just sit on the deck and relax, listening to the creek. We had a family getaway and this house was perfect. Large enough to accommodate everyone comfortably. The property comes with a fit pit down by the creek where we sat, roasted marshmallow, and enjoyed each other's company. Also a great place for our dog to explore! Would definitely stay again!

Loved!

We had our four kids with us age ranging from 18-15-11-8. They all loved the house, the creek right behind the house, the view, the sounds from the creek, catching crawdads just to name a few. We didn’t need to ring anything from home except for clothing and food.

Nature property at its Best

Great property. Host is very kind, always reachable and went out of the way to make our stay perfect! Thank you Eve. The water in the creek was beautiful, the sound of the running water was relaxing. We also had a visitor named Apolo, the neighbors dog, a beautiful golden lab, & very friendly. The children enjoyed playing catch in the backyard w/Apolo. If Apolo happens to show up at the property during your stay, just know that Apolo is a gentle giant and great with children. We consider Aplos visit a bounus.

We were celebrating our 20 year anniversary with our children and granddaughter. It was the perfect place as it was absolutely beautiful property with beautiful trees, grass area and most of all the running creek. We renewed our vows by the creek which more special than I imagined. House had of space for us spread out, BBQ and meals together. Beautiful kitchen with everything you need. The host was very responsive and accommodating. Definitely will come back. Thank you for making our weekend special.

Hidden Gem

We wanted a short trip to relax and unwind, and this Creek House delivered! The creek was amazing- cool and relaxing with a beautiful babble. The wildlife was different every day, and a dog came to play with my daughter when she started to get restless. The house itself is equipped with everything in excellent condition- no chipped dishes and scratched pots and pans without lids which is sometimes the case with VRBO. We went down to Collins Lake for some of the legendary ice cream cones, up to Chico to check out the University, and then really just hung out at the house- no need to go more places. Next time I need a get away, I will be thinking of the Creek House. Everyone was sad to leave.

Amazing property and home

My family and I stayed here while visiting family that lives in Brownsville/Clipper Mills that we hadn’t seen in as many as 35 years as well as some younger members which we had never met. We were very impressed with the property and home. It was very clean and well maintained. It’s set back off the main road and is very quiet allowing you to hear the running creek at the back of the property. Everything we could have possibly needed was provided. The young ones had a blast playing in the yard and on the playground. The house itself is much bigger than it looks in the pictures and from the road. The family room is huge which provided us a very comfortable place to reconnect with family. Beds were very comfortable as well. There is a very nice grocery store (Golden Eagle) just a few minutes away as well as a restaurant (Bigfoot Eats) a short drive up to Clipper Mills which has excellent food as well as live music on Saturday nights. I would definitely recommend this home to anyone looking either for a place to get away!
