About this property

Historic Ox Bow House c.1800 "The Cabin at Muddy Creek"

A cabin in the woods with a hot coffee and warm blanket nestled by a beautiful fire pit overlooking the creek is just what everyone needs to getaway.

The cabin at Muddy Creek is a beautifully restored stone home on 40+ acres with over 4,000 ft of the creek running through it. A perfect getaway for those really looking to get away from the hustle and bustle of every day life. It's whatever you want to make it! Tons of things to get into with the family or a peaceful place to relax and really connect with nature. Not to mention .. pet friendly! We love our furry family members and think they should be included in family vacations as well! Regardless of what you do here, the sound of the running water from the creek that runs through the property really soothes the soul.

Enjoy our property to its full potential .. Have fun spending the day fishing, kayaking (two single kayaks available), tubing (4 tubes available), hiking, or just walking the grounds. The little ones love going into the stream to catch crawdads and salamanders! There is so much fun to be had and plenty of memories to be made here!

If you're more low key, this is the perfect place for you as well! Enjoy the sound of the running water in our adirondack chairs down near the creek and if you're really feeling adventurous, light up a fire in the pit! You could also take a walk over to the tree swing or the bridge and relax with a good book.

We do need to note that this house was built in the 1800s, it for sure was not built the way homes are made today (which obviously makes this home VERY special) The two staircases in the house are narrow and you may need to be careful and possibly have to duck your head a little going up and down. We would say if you have mobility issues you may want to figure out if staying here is the best plan for you.


NO WEDDINGS OR EVENTS
(Fireplaces are for show only)

Disclosure- There are wildlife cameras attached to three trees on the property. They are nowhere near the house, or facing toward the house/ fire pit/hot tub/ barn & patio.

Unique and cozy!
My family (husband, 1.5year old, and dog) and I had a great time at the cabin! We booked it for a long weekend and planned to go to the Great Wild Lodge water park one day. It was not too far and a perfect location to just get away! The property is beautiful and amazing - my toddler and dog loved exploring. The house is so cozy and unique. Our dog did have trouble going down the stairs once he was up he was too scared to come down, but we just went down with him along the stairs on the side of the house and it was fine! We also had a fantastic experience with the hosts - very communicative and gracious - There was a nice welcome basket upon arrival :) Thanks for an awesome stay!

Perfect getaway
I want to thank the owners of the property for being very accommodating and thoughtful. Our trip was amazing and the scenery was unreal! I have never seen our puppy have so much fun! One of the most memorable trips we have ever taken. Couldn’t be happier with our stay. Highly recommended.

Amazing Weekend Away
Beautiful property. We had a great weekend with friends tubing, enjoying the property, and exploring the area. Our dogs loved the place. Had an issue with yellow jackets in the dog run, but the owners were super responsive. We plan to come back. If we were to imagine our dream home, it would be this! What a special place!

Perfect getaway in the countryside
Jodi & Adam's property is absolutely stunning. The house is even better in person than the pictures. Incredible attention to details in decorating the house, everything you need is there down to the welcoming s'mores kit and bottle of wine. The grounds are very well taken care off and the creek made for fun splashing for the dog and the humans. We only stayed two days (one night) because of scheduling conflicts so we didn't try out the kayaks or tubes. Give Ma Pa Pizza a try - you won't regret it! We certainly hope to be back soon! Thanks again for sharing this beautiful piece of land with the rest of us!
