About the host
Hosted by ANDREA KOSYDOR
In 2023 our family fell in love with this property for it’s beauty, quiet, and cool rocks! The creek beds that run through the property are normally dry and provide a unique playground for our kids. When we spent the whole day outside, our family knew this was our happy place to build a cabin and explore the Shawnee more!
We spent a year, weekends only, building and designing every detail and finally the Cabin at Cool Rock Creek is finished! We are so excited to share this unique and cozy cabin surrounded by beautiful forest for more to fall in love with the Shawnee like we did.
We hope you have a great time, and come back to stay soon!
