    We had a great time! Was perfect for the 5 of us. Our 5 year old loved the front and back yard/patio for exploring. The creek is a little hard to access from the house but we made it work and had a blast. Ate at the Landmark by the Creek which was great, fun vibe if they have live music. The house was clean and well stocked with everything you’d need for cooking and enjoying the patio. Thank you for an awesome place. We definitely want to come back!

    Perched right above the creek, this roomy house/cabin was perfect for our stay. Inside was clean and comfortable...(suggest a few lamps and a side table or two, be added by the sofas); Having three bedrooms, each with its own bathroom was great; parking was easy, deck was large and would be a great party place. We didn't use the game room with bunk beds, but that space would be great for families with children. Suggest the instructions to not lock the entry door be highlighted so guests really understand how it works. Suggest one entry have a ramp available to assist those using a walker. And, suggest marking the edge of the outside stairs with reflecting tape or paint so they're more visible at night would be an added safety measure. Would we go there again? Yes!

    Our host, Kevin was cordial and responsive. I can see why he is a premier host. This is a very nice cozy place on the creek. There was a large deck overlooking the creek, with a rod iron fence all around so we did not have to worry about kids. I love the game room/ bedroom with a bunk bed and day bed. There are 2 masters which was perfect for our group. They even had a cabinet with spices, etc. The pantry had an automatic motion light. The neighborhood was beautiful and I felt safe and secure. We enjoyed the birds and ducks. The general store was just a short .4 mile scenic walk. Close to lodges, taverns and lakes. I wouldn't recommend turning on the units in the bedrooms as they were a little loud however the weather was amazingly beautiful so they weren't really needed. We had the greatest time and I would highly recommend this place for a relaxing stay in the pines. The wooden floors in the downstairs master were a beautiful blue vintage wood and the dressers were so unique. I will stay again. Very comfortable and perfect for our group retreat. Thank you Kevin for an awesome stay!

    We couldn’t imagine a more perfect place for our mini family reunion. Not only was there ample space for everyone, all of our needs - and wants - were anticipated. The kitchen was very well equipped, the bathrooms clean and updated, the beds were comfortable, and the deck on the creek was a little piece of heaven. We even had a visit from the local elk! Our time went too fast and we were all sad to leave. We consoled ourselves by promising to return. Thanks, Kevin, for being such a great host!

    The location was lovely. We enjoyed sitting outside and listening to the creek. Even had the elk walk by and grazed out in the front yard. The cabin is well stocked. Welcome instructions were detailed and clear. This was a girlfriend's trip. We all said that the Cake Creek Cabin would be a great place to bring our families to.

    Seems like some bath towells were missing, we grabbed a couple on our walmart run and left them. We also broke a couple dishes unfortunately, happy to pay for those.I checked the arizona wildlife spotting bingo card several times, we had blue jays, a cardinal, bald eagle, gila woodpecker, and a few raptorians i couldnt identify. There was a herd of elk in the neighborhood. We also saw a large Black bear right off the back porch, and a fox in the same spot the next day.

    Easy to drive to (no steep hills), we walked and explored all of Christopher Creek from the house, we all loved the porch and homey feeling of the house and only 15-20min to Woods Canyon lake. We will definitely be staying again.

    I couldn't have been happier about our choice of locations or our stay. The home is beautifully nested amongst the trees and right on the creek with a large partially covered patio that included a perfect gas grill; although we couldn't use it due to the season the built in fire pit was an added plus. The home was clean and stocked with all the necessities and the hosts were top notch. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend this spot friends, family or the masses!

    This is a fun cabin to stay in. Host Kevin is on top of things and responds quickly. Our 2nd time to rent this cabin on Christopher Creek. We would recommend. Of course, wish we could rent directly from the host and avoid some of the VRBO fees, but guess that’s just how it is.

    The weather was nice and the accommodations turned out perfect for my family of 10. Having 3 bathrooms was great! The only thing that would have made this a 5 star rating would have been a direct access to the creek. The online pictures makes it looks like you can walk down to creek with ease but it was not an easy access especially with kids.
