Stayed Oct 17, 2025The property and home is absolutely beautiful and loved the location as it was close to the things we had planned for our weekend but first disappointment was hot tub didn't work ok we got through that then the stove was not usable at all gas was leaking bad so all the food we brung we couldnt cook and lived off a gas station chicken/pizza .That kinda really was crappy. The owner was very nice but never offered any kind of partial refund for the huge inconvenience of having not stove to cook on

Stayed Oct 11, 2025We were welcomed into the property with pretty fall flowers and porch decor. Well lit both inside and out creating such warmth. Lovely cottage with beautiful color coordinations from the wall paper and pictures to furniture, rugs, tiles and such pretty light fixtures. Original wood and doors in the house just brought ya back in time. Spotless rooms and just the most comfortable beds. The claw foot tub was so relaxing and healing. Clean large shower. Plenty of clean towels and extras if ya needed them. So kind! So much room! The kitchen had all we needed right down to a loaded container of ice in the freezer! The fire pit was the best under such a beautiful night sky. A great little area designed for relaxation and even some good srory telling. Plenty of comfortable seating. We enjoyed roasting our marshmallows.The host is fantastic! She really wanted to make sure our stay was one of comfort and joy. It was the best time! So much to do and see. Excellent location. This property is picturesque. Horses and trees and a beautiful sky! Thank you! We will be back!

Stayed Jun 24, 2024My family experienced a memorable vacation in a charming, beautifully restored turn-of-the-century (1900s!) farmhouse, that was lovingly and delightfully cared for by Ellie and her daughter! Ellie provided us with the kind of genuine and generous care that only family would provide! She will always be in our hearts and thoughts when recalling our summer family vacation in Creal Springs! Thank you! Again, Ellie!🤗
