We absolutely LOVED our stay! We will be back! The privacy and having the river and sand bar...it was all just GREAT! OWNER IS AMZING AND RESPONDS PROMPTLY!
Wendelâs Place was the perfect place for my family to spend a relaxed week on red creek with my family. The kitchen is well equipped, beds comfortable and location is to die for. Itâs quiet with a great view of the river and you can easily float from the cabin to City Bridge in two hours (good trip for small kids). We will be back. Probably soon.
The kids had a few days off so we wanted to try it out,I was surprised how clean it was and super happy I could bring my dog. We will be back next summer
This was one of the best weekend getaways we had in a while! All of the kids had a blast! The cabin was very clean and comfortable! The ac worked great! Loved, loved, loved the big back deck! Will definitely be making another trip soon!
Just Right for a great down to earth stay. Out of the busy life if you like that (we sure do!). We appreciated the time an Owner and past family who taken many steps in sharing there cabin with the public. Thus don't think it is going to be a brand new modern villa. The visitor should recognize the years this cabin has stood tall and the story's behind it, recognize the abuse the cabin goes thru, the hardship of mother nature. So overall the Owner and team has done great work in keeping the cabin in great shape. The cabin was built before lots of codes, thus be careful that the railing is not at standard height (thank goodness otherwise you won't get a view). Recognize that you are in the woods (bring bug spray) - and no problem. Thus a wonderful creek that sometimes might be swift or just right for play. a GREAT PLACE AWAY FROM THE REGULAR LIFE!
If you are looking for luxury accomodations, this is not for you. If you are looking for comfort and an awesome outdoor vacation with amazing views, this is it! We stay here every year for our annual krewe kayak trip. We love it! The house is old and rustic but very comfortable. It has a fully stocked kitchen. I suggest you bring extra towels and your own pillows. The creek will not disappoint!!
The cabin was very clean when we arrived. And not too far of a walk to the sand bar. However, there is poison ivy growing on the ground on the path to the sandbar. It was stressful trying to keep multiple toddlers running around away from it.
We had a blast playing in the creek and hanging out on the porch. Local family was able to drive out and spend time us. We also went down the road to snow boogers and had a good time.
The kitchen had everything needed to cook basic meals. The listing said there was a fold out couch in the living room but I donât think it folds out. We tried to figure it out but couldnât get it to work lol. There was a cat that hung around and let my kids pet it on the porch. It got inside and we had a hard time getting it out. It wasnât a big deal, cats donât bother us and my kids thought it was funny.
The only thing that was kind of frustrating was that I couldnât find a phone number to contact the host. There was no signal or WiFi and the satellite went out. We did end up figuring out how to fix it ourselves but if it had been something more important, there was no way to contact the host without driving back a ways until I had enough signal to use internet and email the host and hope they respond soon.
Overall, we enjoyed our stay very much!
Donât forget to pack bug spray! They are relentless in the evenings!
Throughly enjoy coming here for the quiet and peaceful atmosphere. Cabin is perfect for relaxing on the deck and watching the kayaks float by on the creek. The beach is private and clean with white sand. We love it!
We had a great weekend at the house. Wish we had known that there wasnt a lot to work with as far a kitchen . (3 can openers with would not opwn a can.) And Shower doesn't have alot of water pressure.
Had a lot of fun hanging out at the sand bar. Will definitely go again next year.
My few short days here were the most relaxing days I've had in a long time. Being a front line worker during this time has taken it's toll and I feel s I refreshed after my time in the creek!
Such a lovely experience and excellent service. We can't say enough good things about wonderful place in the wilderness. If your looking for a "Girl Scouts" dream, this is the place for you.
My family needed a quick getaway. This cabin has everything we were looking for. We loved sitting out on the upstairs deck overlooking the creek. You pretty much have your own private beach that is a one minute walk away. The kids and the dogs loved swimming in the creek. We smoked a brisket on the grill and made sâmores over a fire. Itâs the perfect place to get away from it all!
It was perfect for what we were looking for. Great little beach and cool clean creek for our grandkids to spend time in the water and sun. Clean and efficient little camp house. Because it was what we told them we were doing... Going camping in Mississippi. Loved and can't wait to go back.
The property was beautiful and peaceful. It is off of the beaten path. The porch overlooking Black Creek was gorgeous and just the escape needed. The beach nearby was very clean and an excellent place to hang out and kayak/float when the sun got to be too hot.
John was great and very easy to contact. Check in/Check out was a breeze.
The only thing I want to mention are the amount of deer flies outside. We went in the summer and this is expected. They never bit us, but they do fly around. They did not seem to bother us on the porch or on the beach.
All-in-all a great experience!
The description of this property is accurate. Itâs a dated camp on the creek, but it has all of your basic needs. The owners have 3 rentals (no one rental can be seen by the others) that have access to a private sandbar. Bring your inner tubes or kayaks and you can set off on an adventure just steps from the camp.
Bring Tiki Oil! There are 4 tiki torches on the porch. I bought and left some replacement canisters for future guests.
Bugs bite. If youâve never staying on a creek or river, bugs are common especially this time of year.
Pictures could be updated on the vrbo of the property because these do not do the creek justice or the amazing deck on the front!
My only complaint would be that the mattresses were terrible. Iâll definitely bring my mattress topper next trip along with my kayak!
