Gorgeous Rustic Cabin, Beautiful Property
This was our second stay at this cabin. We love its rustic, cozy feel and the property is absolutely beautiful. One of our favorite features is the wrap around balcony with an abundance of seating for family and friends. The lower apartment was perfect for my mother-in-law. Stone steps take you down to the creekfront, where you can sit in chairs right next to the water.

We come back every year!
We have fallen in love with this property and come back every October to relax and go apple picking. We love to have fires in the fire pit and soak in the hot tub. The kids stay upstairs and the adults stay downstairs so we all have our privacy and then come together. The orchards and wineries in the area are wonderful. Everything is clean and we had everything we needed. We’ll be back!

Great little Hideaway
We loved staying at Clear Creek! My kids had a blast in the water! So much so, that we barely even used the hot tub. The only "negative" feedback were the ants if food wasn't closed up entirely and any dirty dishes were left out, but I guess that's expected when you're in a rural area. Overall, rate it a 10, though

Best vacation ever !
Took a weekend with friends and brought the dogs! Dog’s had an absolute blast! Oh my goodness! The creek was amazing, don’t be afraid to put the chairs in the water and pour yourself a drink. Hours of nothing but peaceful, private relaxation. Place was spotless, everything I could think of that I needed, I had. The place comes with everything inside and out. Outdoor fireplace is awesome, outdoor games, hammock and wrap around porch to watch the deer, made our trip so memorable. Rent this place if you want absolute privacy, peace and quiet. Thank you Windy for being an amazing host, we will be back soon.

Wonderful weekend!
We had some difficulty with checking in (codes were not texted to us as promised), but once we were in, we had a wonderful time. This is our second year staying here for our annual family apple picking, and we love this house! The kids can stay upstairs while the parents relax downstairs. We had a fire in the fire pit and enjoyed the hot tub. It was too cold for the creek, but we took long walks and enjoyed the scenery. We particularly like the B.J. Reece orchard nearby. Definitely recommend this property; we will be back next year!

SWEET Retreat!
This rental could not have been more perfect for our family's wants this vacation. The stream, the gracious hosts, the little family things (sandbox, swing, wonderful firepit, tubes, multiple outdoor seatings, wraparound porch, etc.) just made the trip. It's not cushy resort style, just good, comfortable, relaxing country living. The only downside was a neighbor's dog. Not dangerous, just a little annoying. All in all, a great stay!

Celebrating a 60th birthday
2 adults and 2 fur babies. We all loved this property. Hot tub under the stars with a full moon was perfect for our relaxation trip. Lots to do or just sit back and watch nature. Birds and squirrels were very busy during our mid-March visit. Anthony or Janice were always there for us for our questions. Wonder property!!!!!
