Creekfront Retreat on Yellow Breeches, Sleeps 8, Kayaks, Firepit, Fishing
Creekfront on the Yellow Breeches — room for the whole group!
Set right on the banks of the Yellow Breeches Creek, this 3-bedroom home sleeps 8 with space for everyone to spread out. Two primary suites, each with a private en-suite, make it easy for two couples or multiple generations to share without crowding. The third bedroom sleeps three more, and a foldable queen is available on request.
The heart of the home is an open living, dining, and kitchen space with an oversized sectional and 86" smart TV, built for meals together and easy evenings in. A three-season porch overlooks the water, where bald eagles, herons, deer, and owls are regular visitors.
Outside, the deck and backyard open directly to the creek. Four kayaks with paddles and life jackets are ready at the water, fishing gear is provided, and the firepit, BBQ grill, and lawn games (cornhole, bocce, horseshoes) keep all ages busy. Kids under 12 wear life jackets on the water.
The kitchen is fully equipped for group cooking: espresso machine, coffee maker and grinder (coffee provided), air fryer, crockpot, blender, food processor, and full cookware. Board games and movie nights round out the evenings.
Layout details for planners: Both primary suites have a King or Cal-King with en-suite (one downstairs with a shower, one upstairs with shower and tub). The upstairs suites are loft-style, with separate stair entrances, no doors, and no connecting wall, so the group still gets privacy. The third bedroom has a Queen plus a Full.
The location: Yellow Breeches Creek for trout fishing and paddling from the backyard. The Appalachian Trail trailhead at Boiling Springs is under 2 miles, with Children's Lake, the Cumberland Valley Rail Trail, and Allenberry Resort (0.3 miles, farm-to-table dining at The Barn) close by. Carlisle is under 8 miles, near the Carlisle Fairgrounds and its annual car shows. Day trips reach Hersheypark, Gettysburg, Lancaster, and Harrisburg. Dickinson College (8.8 miles) and Messiah University (7.5 miles) are both close, whether you're visiting for parents weekend, graduation, or alumni events.
Good to know: Self check-in by keypad. High-speed Wi-Fi and a dedicated desk for anyone working remotely. Well-behaved dogs welcome with approval and a fee; the property is unfenced and rural. Ample parking for 4 vehicles on a quiet private street.

Beautiful house by the creek, great positioning in the street, private, quiet, tastefully furnished, comfortable, kitchen fully equipped and stocked, loved it. Host is also very accessible and accommodating.
We had such a wonderful stay! The house was spotless, nicely maintained, outfitted with every comfort, and even better than the photos. It had everything we needed for a comfortable and relaxing getaway. The host was absolutely wonderful-welcoming, accommodating, and clearly takes great pride in the property. We would love to stay here again!
This property and location is absolutely lovely. We had a mini-family reunion and it was perfect for lounging and accommodating everyone. Everything was clean, well appointed, and as stated in the listing. Stacey was super easy to get ahold of when needed and offered great recommendations for dinners, etc. The only thing I would mention is that if you have members of your group that stay up late/get up early, the upstairs bedrooms do not have doors (open air/chalet style into the living room) and the lights/sounds can filter into the rooms and may make it a bit difficult to get to sleep early/sleep in. Would definitely book again if we're in the area!
Eveything thing you could want and more! I came home to be with my family the week of Christmas and the house was perfect! Cozy cabin Christmas feel! Clean.. exceptionally stocked! The best!

Audra - We loved hosting you over the holidays and thank you for being a tremendous guest! We hope to welcome you back in the future :)
The Creekfront Nature Retreat is a lovely home with a spectacular location. We had especially good weather so the fire ring and kayaks were well used. The S'mores makings were an unexpected treat. The kitchen had everything we needed, and bedrooms were spacious and comfortable. Would definitely stay here again.
My husband and I wanted time with our 3 adult children and one fiancé. The house had room for all of us to have time together and have separate moments. We enjoyed breakfast at the house overlooking the water. Dinners together and so many memories were made.
Phenomenal home that’s been renovated and expanded. Beautiful setting right on the Yellow Breeches Creek. Our only regret is now staying long enough to enjoy the kayaks. Very clean and well appointed.
We had a spectacular time at the property. It was extremely clean and comfortable with everything you could need and more! Didn’t think our teens would kayak, however the loved it, and had so much fun. It’s close to everything, yet far enough removed and peaceful. The beds were extremely comfortable, even more so than expected!!! Would absolutely book again without question.
This cottage was perfect for our weekend stay for a wedding in nearby Mechanicsburg. We had six people in our group - three adult couples. This three bedroom cottage had plenty of room for us. The location is very scenic and quiet. We enjoyed sitting on the deck or in the screened-in porch and watching the wildlife. We saw a deer with her two babies and a variety of birds.We enjoyed hiking along the Appalachian Trail which runs right through Boiling Springs. However, I recommend the short drive to Pine Grove Furnace State Park where you can hike to the trail's halfway point.Unfortunately rain prevented us from enjoying the kayaks and firepit but we look forward to doing so on our next visit.

Thanks, John. So glad you and your family enjoyed your stay and got to see some wildlife! You are welcome back anytime and hopefully the weather is better to enjoy the kayaks. 😁
This is in a great location and wonderful water area. Kayaking was so peaceful. The house had washer and dryer which was very convenient. Dishwasher. Only use to Keurig so going back to a full pot was a little wasteful though. I wish I would have brought extra one to leave there. Bike there we enjoyed to so we could see the area around. Boiling springs is beautiful. So many things close by Stacey made me feel like I was home and she was part of my family. I’ve been telling everyone and recommending this place. We would stay again but longer next time.

Thanks, Margaret - we are so glad you and your family enjoyed your stay ! We would be delighted to host you again.
The house was exactly as described. We took full advantage of the views while sitting on the three season porch and the deck off the ground floor primary bedroom. Thank you so much for helping us to build more memories with friends and family. We would stay here again.

About the host
Hosted by Stacey Kalmanovitz
Hi I'm Stacey and I grew up in Boiling Springs (in this house). I had an idyllic childhood spending HOURS playing outside here.
I love hosting because it gives me a chance to share the magic of Boiling Springs, the Yellow Breeches Creek, and this home with the world. Growing up in this house, I made many happy memories playing outside and running free and it brings me joy to open my special home to other families!
My husband and I live in California, but like to spend time here when we can. Most weekends you will find us at the beach, listening to live music, or cooking. We have 3 dogs (Deacon, Watson & Otto), we are dog-people and we love hosting well-behaved fur babies.
Why they chose this property
This neighborhood is surrounded by nature and it forces you to slow down a bit. You can sit with your coffee watching blue herons and egrits in our yard, watch the trout jump in the creek, listen to the birds and at night, the owls. Occasionally, you will see snapping turtles, deer, and even a bald eagle. Each year around Thanksgiving, I see a group of wild turkeys on the property. This is the ultimate place to get away and enjoy some calm.
What makes this property unique
My parents converted the house from a one-bedroom fishing cabin to an A-frame 3 bedroom with two loft-style bedrooms on either side. It's truly unique for families to get together in the large living room and porch but still have separate privacy of their own bedroom spaces. We want others to feel at home here which is why the kitchen is stocked with amenities for cooking, we have many board games (for rainy days), and 4 kayaks to take on the creek. This is a place to come together and make cherished memories.
