It's very quiet! We were 4 74 year old women and we had a blast just relaxing and reminiscing and LAUGHING! We stayed here 2 years ago and loved it then too! Thanks Marie for your communication and your delicious cookies! We'll be back, God willing!
Very cute and cozy while still being more than enough room for our family of five. It was the perfect retreat for us during a busy soccer tournament weekend where we could relax in between games.
As longstanding friends, we were looking for a special place to reconnect for our Annual Homecoming Weekend Gathering & Tailgating at Edinboro University. The Creek House was perfect for our stay! The space is open and allows for a great flow between the kitchen, living and dining areas. It was clean and well stocked for meeting our stay needs & the Hosts were responsive & most helpful-thank you! We would wish to be repeat-ers! A wonderful weekend in a wonderful space! Most appreciative! See you again- Cathy
Perfect size for me and my three friends, can easily fit more people, especially couples! The owners were awesome, inside of the house is even better than the photos suggest, great backyard, and the amenities were plentiful. Will definitely book again if I am in the area.
Everything was great. The check in process was simple, the house was clean and we were greeted with delicious cookies to start our stay. We had everything we needed and then some. We are so glad we found this home and would stay again if ever in the area.
This is the perfect home away from home. Close enough drive to Erie and all the fun it has to offer, without the hotel. There was plenty of space for the 10 of us. And the owners were very nice and accommodating. I would definitely stay here again.
The location, cleanliness, decor, comfort, room for number of guests, supplies needed during stay, nearby to all shopping/dining/activities etc., the host was amazing, very attentive. Loved every minute of stay.
We loved our time here. It was exactly what we needed. The setting was perfect and the accommodations wonderful. Thank you for making this possible for us! We highly recommend this place!
We enjoyed our time there very much. It has lots of space foe everyone to sit and gather inside. We had everything needed to make meals and treats . Although some of the outside furniture could use updating with new cushions. Also, there's not a cleared path to get to the creek for fishing. That would be helpful in the future. All in all we enjoyed our time there together.
This property is adorable- the photos don’t do it justice. It is well cared for and the details were well thought out. We had everything we could’ve needed and more for a cozy weekend with our family.
We had a group of family and friends together from Pennsylvania, West Virginia, South Carolina and Florida. We all made the trip for some well deserved fun. We've stayed at this property before and couldn't have picked a better place to return. The host and owners are always hospitable and go above and beyond. Thank you again!
The owner really had thought of everything.
With fresh baked cookies to fresh eggs from her chickens, and travel size toiletries in case you forgot anything.
We will stay here again for sure
Well stocked! Accurate description of place. Friendly and responsive owners. Highly recommend.

Nice getaway
Peaceful location with a big yard. Our kids loved running around outside and playing with toys and lawn games. Clean and well stocked with friendly, helpful hosts (both owner and local host).
We stayed here because it was in close proximity to my daughter’s house where we celebrated Easter. She didn’t have the room for us to stay, so we rented here. It was so comfortably rustic and cutely decorated with spacious gathering space and comfortable sleeping spaces for adults and kids. We felt very at home!
The owners did not miss one detail, and we truly appreciate all of it. Everything g you need is there, very clean, beautiful location. I would highly recommend this to everyone. We stayed for a wedding in Edinboro, but we were only 20 minutes from the casino as well, we grilled on the deck twice, made breakfast and slept very well

Wonderful
This home was situated in a very private setting with a great yard, fire pit, and all of the amenities we needed. We were in town for a soccer tournament and enjoyed our evenings at the home. It was clean and we would stay again. The host answered any questions we had immediately, 5 stars! ⭐️
I have stayed in several rentals throughout the United States, and this was by far the best! It as very clean, welcoming and I felt right at home. Several supplies were already there for our stay. We were welcomed with home baked cookies and delivered fresh maple syrup in the morning. It was extremely peaceful as well. We loved it so much we’re hoping to book it agian next year for the New Year!
We enjoyed our stay. Only downside was that there was no cable tv and the mud at the end of the driveway. Otherwise the house was really neat.

Response from VrboOwner on 13 July 2022
From the owners: "With high speed internet and the option to log into streaming services, we did not see that we needed cable TV. However, we now have it! Sorry about the mud at the bottom of the driveway - the house being at the bottom of the hill, on a dirt road, during big storms can do that! It has been an unusually wet spring and we have since added more gravel to help remedy the situation. We are glad you otherwise enjoyed your stay!"
