Everything was top-notch! The cabin is extremely well-appointed and exceptionally clean. Alergies aside, don't let the description pet friendly deter you from staying here without a pet. Due to the cleanliness, you could not even tell that pets have stayed here. We did have our dog with us and appreciated the little amenities such as food and water bowls, a crate inside the cabin and an enclosed porch to keep pets safe while they enjoy the outdoors with you. Terri was very communicative throughout our stay! The fishing in the creek was good. It was nice to be able to go and throw a line in anytime you wanted. We highly recommend Creekberry and will surely be return guests!
Hosts responded almost immediately to all my questions. Pictures do not do justice for this view from this place. Property sits directly across from Tumbling creek with a majestic view of the river and mountains, which you can enjoy from the warmth of the kitchen table or enjoy the mountain air from the beautiful deck. As soon as you walk in the door you get a welcoming mountain vibe. We decided not to bring our furry family members on this trip, but the home was well equipped to accommodate them. The weather this week covered the spectrum of the thermometer with lows in the 20's and highs in the 40's one day and highs in the upper 70's the next, but it was not an issue with both central heating and a gas fireplace to enjoy. Property was extremely clean and had all the amenities one would need when staying away from home. The property is located very close to the entrance to Laurel bed lake, which is a must to visit you are here. If the opportunity exists, will we definitely try to stay here again.
Nice little house on a stream. Nice white noise. Water heater is a little small and internet goes out every once in a while. Peaceful and quiet area. Old but upkept house.
The owner really thought of everything. The house was beautifully decorated inside to match the rural setting. We loved the location because it was right in the middle of the places we wanted to visit: Virginia Creeper Trail in Damascus, Hungry Mother State Park, the Channels Natural Area Preserve, and Abingdon.
The interior remodeling and decor was really well done, especially considering what was there originally. The sound of the creek was like soothing white noise, couldn't even hear the rain. I wish yard areas were larger though. We loved having our morning coffee out on the deck while listening to the creek.
The listing was secluded, which is exactly what I was looking for. The house was clean and well maintained and had almost everything needed. The reason for one overall four-star rating though was that it was not disclosed until the end of the booking process that a large security deposit or a purchase of a separate insurance policy was required to book it in addition to the normal costs. Additionally, it was not disclosed to that the property is for sale, which caused me to worry that my reservation would be cancelled if it sold.
Once we figured out the panel on the front door was the keypad that needed a firm touch when pressing the code, everything else was smooth sailing. Perfectly stocked with everything one would need for a getawayâall you need to bring is food and drinks. The large old Bible was a precious find, and I enjoyed leafing through that. Hey, Google provided tunes of our choosing, and the internet was a lifesaver as cell service is basically nonexistent (at least with my carrier T-Mobile). Nice cabin to getaway in, do a little work, relax and enjoy the sounds of nature!
Our visit was originally planned for a fun getaway. However, shortly after I booked there was a death in the family. So our Creekberry stay became a time and place for reflection, love and grieving. The constant roar of the water was just what we needed. So relaxing and healing.
The house was immaculate. Every detail is attended to. Our dogs also loved the stay. They did not want to come inside and I think theyâd still be on the deck if they could. We got to meet several neighbors down the road on our morning walks and they were friendly welcoming. Highly recommend.
The perfect place to hang with my sister and nieces before and after our ride on the Creeper Trail. Thank you so much! My senior lab also loved being able to join us. Thank you even more for being pet friendly!
I loved how this property is right on the creek and hearing the sound of the water as soon as I opened the door in the morning. The bed was very comfortable, the kitchen updated with modern appliances but still retained a homey feel with the decor. It was cool seeing marble games and things I had grown up with along with a nice assortment of board games and even a Nintendo system. You can be as off the grid or as connected as you'd like to be here. I loved seeing the pet bowls and crate available, along with one deck being gated so pets or kids can roam without worry. The thoughtful touches like filtered water being available in the fridge and the ample outlets by each bed stood out to me. I also really liked the light fixtures in the house - they were varied but all seemed to elevate the space. This was my first getaway alone since having a baby so I truly enjoyed the peace and quiet this property afforded me, along with how central it is to so many things like The Great Channels, Creeper Trail, Museum, and much more.
*Sigh* Iâm writing this review as we head home after the most relaxing of weekends at Creekberry! The sound of the creek was just the start of so many zen-like experiences set up at this mountain getaway. The beautiful home, cozy bed and snuggly couch all helped us have the relaxing weekend we were searching for. Talking to the property owner was easy and they easily answered all of our questions. This kitchen is fully stocked, making meal prep a breeze! Being pet friendly I was so pleased at how much it did NOT show pet wear or smells. It was nice to bring the dogs on this vacation! We will be back soon for more rest and relaxation.
It was the perfect home base for our visit to the state parks. It was cute and cleanly, plenty of room for more than just us two. We went to Grayson highlands state park and saw the wild ponies. It was also central of multiple other state parks like hungry mother, breaks interstate, natural tunnel, wilderness road, and clinch river. We loved listening to the sound of the creek while we had our morning coffee. Would absolutely stay again in the summer.
We had a great stay here! Clean and comfortable cabin and a nice deck to sit and relax while enjoying the sights and sounds of the creek. Easy check-in.
GPS in the area was spotty for us, so it might be helpful to save or print your directions before you arrive.
Our stay at Creekberry was very relaxing. They provided a clean and comfortable place for us and our dog Stella. Rarely will you find the level of amenities and hospitality that we received. Just take your food and enjoy the super clean home and the deck to enjoy the beautiful area and listening to the creek. Would definitely stay again if we find ourselves in the area.
This is a remodeled cottage that has low ceilings, is kind of chopped up, and floors that are different levels, resulting in a tripping hazard. The remodeling included AC, updated kitchen and showers. One of the showers wouldnât keep the water in so we used the other one after the first day. Parking and access to the cottage was difficult; lots of stairs and a very steep driveway to the cottage. The decks are nice and provided a pleasant place to sit and listen to Tumbling Creek on the other side of the road. As my husband and I are 65 and 71 this wasnât the best choice for us. We were looking for seclusion and the property is definitely that. We appreciated being able to have our dogs with us but walking them was only possible on the road. Property managers were easy to work with. This would be a good place to stay for younger people who want to be away from it all with some of the amenities of civilization.
We have stayed in many rental houses from different companies and this was by far one of the nicest ones we have ever stayed in. Well stocked and very comfortable. FYI if you have a fear of spiders, be warned they love the front door. We will definitely stay here again when we come back to southwestern virginia.
We came here as a last stop on a very busy vaca. We basically wanted to relax, unwind, and do nothing. We were exhausted and it was absolutely perfect for that!
As soon as you walk in it smells brand new. That is always awesome! It was very clean as well.
The sound of the river and view was beautiful! The decor was impressive and super charming, appliances were top of the line and the house was very well stocked! Great bedrooms, great TVs, little fire place, vintage games, and the pressure in the shower in the main bath was so good/hard it mades us laugh.You will definitely be clean! The river was fabulous but too steep for us to get down to it from that location. They warn you of this...
We went to Food City (town over easy drive- other groceries in town though)stocked up and sat on the decks the whole time. We drove around and checked out the local history and park. We also went to Hungry Mother State Park and that was wonderful.
There were plenty of cameras for security at the house . You are definitely in the country there, so research the area and make sure that is what you want. It's exactly what we wanted and would be happy to stay again! Easy check in and out. Locals told us there were bears around but we didn't see any.
It was an extremely relaxing stay. I miss falling asleep to the sound of the river already.
