My wife and I spent a long weekend to enjoy the fall leaves, hiking in the woods, and biking. The house is located right on Pine Creek and next to the bike trail, and has everything needed for a pleasant stay.

"Creek House"
Our family loved our time at the "Creek House" as our 3 year old would say. Such a beautiful spot. Most of our time was spent down by the creek or the nearby bike trail. Perfect location for our weekend adventure. Thank you to Roxanne & family for letting us stay at your home.

Family Fishing Trip
We had a really great time getting away for the weekend. The weather wasn’t the best for fishing but we still made the best of it. The house was so charming, you really felt like it was home away from home. We will be back for another trip for sure.

A gorgeous retreat
We fell in love with the area the second that we entered the neighborhood and it only got better from there. The backyard of this house leads to a creek and Mountain View, you just can’t beat it! If you’re looking for an up-scale home, then this one may feel more dated to you, but if you like a homie feeling place that adds to nostalgia with games and VHS tapes, then look no further!

Better than the pictures! Nice and clean! Very well stocked! One of the prettiest spots on Pine Creek! My wife and I are retired and wanted a nice relaxing long weekend after several busy weeks. This beautiful place was better than we expected! Definitely on our list of places we would love to visit again!

Beautiful river home!!!
We had a pleasant stay on the river. We were looking for an end of summer trip, we were hoping to be able to swim in the river, unfortunately the weather wasn't the best. It was enjoying enough to be able to enjoy the beautiful property from the porch though. We ended up going on several hikes in the area and just spending some quality time with the kids!!! Very cozy home, very comfortable!!!

Extraordinary location
Pine Creek is one of the (relatively) undiscovered and unspoiled places in the country. I live in TN now, and staying in this property is one of the real joys of visiting my hometown. I have been all over Pine Creek from one end to the other. Regarding the water itself, this spot is one of the very best in the Creek. There aren't many 10' deep swimming holes left and there is one right in front of the house (although there is also shallow water for those who prefer it). The photos on the listing don't do the outside of the house justice. It's bigger than it seems from the photos and is nicely maintained and landscape. The community is small and every property is immaculate. Trees, bushes, etc make the property very private. Another benefit of the location is that it is in a prime location on the Creek, but it isn't far from nearby towns. I can't wait to get back.

Great place close to bike trail and creek
My husband and I had a nice stay! We especially enjoyed relaxing in the sunroom while looking at the scenery and birds and listening to all the sounds of nature! The property was as advertised and we had plenty of room. The owner responded promptly to a question that came up. Location was perfect for direct access to Pine Creek Rail Trail. We would love to stay again and bring our kayaks since the house also has direct access to Pine Creek. The only downside to our stay is that it wasn’t long enough!

Roxanne was a wonderful and responsive host. Besides being as described, it's hard to put into words the coziness of the home. You can feel the warmth and happiness from all of the memories made here. The Pine Creek Trail is literally in the front yard. The creek itself in the back. An abundance of parks around the area. Very genuine and quiet community. If you want to get some peace and quiet, this is the place to go.
