Up The Creek

We had such a peaceful stay at Up The Creek and Renee was the perfect host. The sound of the creek, the beautiful fall colors and the fall flowers that greeted us when we walked in the cabin are the memories that we brought home with us after our stay in this lovely cabin.

Amazing Cabin

Our stay was an amazing experience. The pictures do not do this place justice! Cabin was extremely clean, and had all the necessary amenities. The creek was beautiful and refreshing.

Fantastic place

This cabin is amazing. Perfect for an escape from the world. We could have just sat on the deck listening to the creek running the entire time. Our dogs enjoyed playing in the creek and I caught several nice brook trout fly fishing. Highly recommend staying here. We will be back
