    Had a wonderful, very much needed relaxing vacation. Pool table was definitely the center of attention. Very roomy and much bigger than pictures made it out to be. Will definitely be returning!

    We had a lovely stay! We were very impressed by the comfort, cleanliness and space at the cottage. It was cozy, the beds were really comfortable, and we loved chilling out in the big open plan lounge area. The pool table is such a fun bonus! I came on this trip with a friend, but this would be a great spot for a family weekend too. The location was ideal for the trail race we traveled for, and Crater Lake was a 50-minute drive away. If you're looking for a place in this area, I would highly recommend Cool Creek Cottage! We would absolutely stay again.

    We really enjoyed our stay! The location was perfect—central to everything and close to the Highway of Waterfalls, which we loved hiking. The owners went above and beyond with thoughtful amenities, even including things you might forget, like a toothbrush. We’d definitely stay here again!

    This property was one of the most amazing VRBO's I have ever been too! The hosts thought of everything to the point of leaving extra toothpaste! The kitchen was fully stocked and the dining room table was super useful as a work and eating space. The laundry room had detergent in it! The living room had tons of seating. The pool table was epic! The porch was clean and comfortable. All around best supplied and comfortable place I've ever stayed!

    Sometimes when I see the word ‘host’ regarding rental properties, I have an inward groan & eye roll, but we were absolutely hosted here like I host in my own home. Everything was thought of and greatly appreciated. Our children wanted to be at the house more than out adventuring with us!

    This was a great experience with my family. It was just the three of us and we had a great time seeing the sights, hiking, and relaxing. I would defiantly recommend this place. It was Awesome. We saw bears, cougar prints just as we were leaving. I couldn't ask for a better experience and memory.

    Loved this house! It was so clean and warm and comfortable. The kitchen had everything we needed and the pool table provided our evening entertainment! We were close to some walkable trails and found some beautiful waterfalls on the Rogue River! Plus we were close to Crater Lake and we very much appreciated the snowshoes, available at this wonderful property. Highly recommend staying here!

    We really enjoyed the location in a quiet little town. The rental was roomy and very comfortable. We enjoyed many scenic places such as the tall evergreens, Mill Creek falls, Crater Lake, Rogue River canyon, Diamond Lake, and the natural bridge. We would definitely consider staying here again.
