The stay was amazing! We chose this place again this year because of how amazing it was last year! Everything was fabulous! The host was absolutely fantastic and very accommodating and easy to communicate to! The cabin has everything you could possibly need to cook in! It’s a cozy, very cute cabin! They have done a lot of updates to this cabin and a lot of work into it! The creek is always running, and the little general store down the way has all you could need, including AMAZING FUDGE, and wine! the host made their patio amazing for hanging out under the stars with your family! We highly recommend this VRBO and hope to return next year!

Cute little lights light up the yard at night and it looks beautiful

Creek runs all down the cabins from the back door all the way down the kids loved it even the older ones

Great getaway

This cabin was great for our 3 day break from the Phoenix heat. Less than 10 minute walk from the general store and just a couple minutes more to reach The Landmark! The cabin was exactly as described, clean and cozy with our own private access to the creek. Our family enjoyed the stay and we would rebook again in the future.

Great location! Beautiful property grounds, elk and squirrels abundant. Well stocked kitchen and baths. Drip coffee maker, toaster and more. Comfortable beds. Cabin stayed cool no ac, but ceiling fans and additional fans if needed. Our warmest day was 89 degrees and cabin was cool.

Stayed here a couple of nights. The cabin was very clean and updated. The property was amazing, we look forward to visiting again.

Nature lovers dream. Great location. Elk all over the place, even roam right on the property. Stairs right down to the creek. Squirrels, ducks, birds...you name it. Some good food places nearby. A few hiccups with the property management company but the owner was fantastic and stepped in and fixed them. In all the years renting VRBO's this is one of our all time favorites.

Amazing place to stay!!!

Right on the creek. This Place has history, character and serenity! We have been coming up for 20 years to Christopher Creek but always camped, this time we got this cabin for our 25th Anniversary. We were quite impressed! Cabin was clean and a great bed. Located right off the creek so we of course had to rock jump down the creek. Ate meals on the chairs by the creek. Even Walked the roads to experience the history of the cabins. Definitely staying here again! Highly recommend!!

Christopher Creek Weekend

This property was perfect for our weekend getaway. The interior has been renovated/upgraded with an amazing kitchen, gorgeous bathroom, modern lighting, full size washer/dryer and new fridge. The mattress was great, had no problem sleeping in!The location on the creek is perfect, the yard is spacious and loaded with bunnies and squirrels. All of the patio furniture you could need was comfortable and in good/new condition.I would highly recommend this property and would rent this specific home again.

Unforgettably Amazing 🤩

We had an amazing stay! We stayed with our children, they ranged between 12-19. Not one of them complained about a single thing, being bored, not about the beds, not about the couch bed, nothin! 😊 This by far exceeded our expectations in every way! There was games for the kids to play, Netflix, but even better, the cabin was literally within steps on the back patio to the creek where we non stop had elk coming up right through the yard which was amazing in itself! The kitchen was fully furnished with pots, plates, and everything you could possibly need if you plan to cook meals. There is a very convenient little general store very close by if you need anything, also a very cute little bar/diner outdoors place “landmark tavern “ I think it’s called and creekside both very amazing! As soon as we arrived it was the perfect welcoming feeling, very cozy and cute decor! The owner of this cabin got right back to us if we had any questions at all! We will absolutely be recommending them to all of our friends and family and definitely plan to come again!
