Deck w/ Private Hot Tub: James Creek Cabin

Our experience was great overall! Amazing cozy cabin with more than enough space for everyone. Pool table in the family room is a great addition to the space. Calvin was helpful before and during our stay. Would definitely recommend and stay again if the opportunity presents itself.

Property says lakefront, nowhere near lake. Not even lake view. 2-3 mile drive away. House was great for us though, as we were here for fishing tourney. Wrap around driveway was perfect for towing 2 boats. House has lots of space and fenced in yard/deck was great for our dog. Cleanliness…not the best. Granted you’re in the woods with very high ceilings so you are going to see some cobwebs, no biggie. However, there were some areas that should have been cleaner…kitchen counters had quite a few dead bugs; coffee maker-coffee, moldy grounds still in it; oven was dirty, which was unnoticed until we turned it on and dirt caught fire. I contacted owner and he told me they take pics before each rental & there were copper liners in oven, which there were not. He suggested I take pics of everything to send to him but I had already went around and cleaned. Hairs in bathrooms and bases of toilets were dirty. I read previous reviews about it not being clean so this did not surprise me…I just wanted owners to know their cleaning crew is not doing a very good job, as I would want to know if it was my place. There is a Keurig-not listed but good to know. No wine opener and only 1 wine glass-bring your own. Garbage…it states in book address where community dumpster is to take all garbage to upon check out but no directions on how to get there. Owners reminder text gave us a different address so we drove around as we were leaving looking for it. Note: turn right out driveway, top of hill.

It was a peaceful and relaxing get away, our family enjoyed it very much. We went to Raystown lake which was a quick drive, had fun at the beach and had fishing expeditions. Trough creek, Tatman run and Seven points were all within a 15 min drive. The Cottage/wood cabin was so beautiful. It was so open and spacious. Definitely money well spent.

Very enjoyable stay. The owner was very helpful when needed. I would love to return some day.

The house was great for our family. It had two master bedrooms with attached bathrooms. Plus two other bedrooms. Beautiful deck. The fenced in yard allowed play location for the kids. I saw on other comments mention of dust webs...true if you look for them... but welcome to the woods. Overall it has a clean feeling. Advice, bring hand towels... there arent any in the 4 bathrooms in the house. If we go back to Raystown...wed reserve this house again!

The house is nice, especially if you have large dogs. The fenced in deck and yard make it very convenient for the dogs to move around freely. There were some things that would make the stay even better though. The first thing was the cleanliness. I picked up 5 piles of dog poop in the yard, one of the large trash receptacles was already 1/2 full, and there was actually food left on several of the cooking utensils that we pulled out of the drawer(s). Lastly, the owners should purchase clothing racks for each room since they lock the closets. This would give guests somewhere to hang their clothes during their stay. Other than that, it is a very nice place to stay and I would consider staying there again.

Beautiful place but cleaning lacked.Host was very rude on phone when i called him about the cleaning of the place.

Perfect place and location for us.

It was very clean, lots of room and new. The pool table and spa tub was a home run for us. It was nice and quiet too, very relaxing.

Liked the area and house. Cleaning could have been done better. Lots of dust on shelves and bed frame. Trouble finding water valve. Label worn off. Overall a good stay.
