The place is located in the mountain top with stunning, breathtaking views.
The view of sunrise in the mountains, the valley littered with farms and cattle,... read more with the sound of creek flowing nearby - this place is, by definition, picturesque. The country side felt like Robert Frost's lyrics came to life.
Approach:
We arrived well after sunset . As we approached the place, we took a few sharp turns and the last half mile of the lane was dirt and gravel. It was unnerving, but once we spotted the home (GPS coordinates and location is very precise in (Hidden by Airbnb) maps), we laid all apprehensions to rest.
Interiors:
Lot of efforts had been put to ensure the residents had a comfortable stay - we had a LOT of options to keep ourselves entertained/engaged.
Hosts:
Very warm people. Enjoyed the conversations we had. Local knowledge and Travel tips from the hosts were very helpful.Prasanna

Mike and Kathy were very accommodating even when we ran into some weather issues on our travels. We enjoyed Kathy's delicious coffee cake on our way out as a nice finishing touch. Even though there was a full house, our stay felt very personal. Would highly recommend staying here.

08/07/2020We had an amazing weekend at the Creekside Bed and Breakfast. We booked it off Airbnb, not having any recommendations from others or knowing at all what to expect.... read more It turned out to be a favorite and one we definitely will return to. They went out of their way to make it as enjoyable as possible, offering lots of conversation if we were comfortable but also privacy and space if we wanted. The rooms were very clean and had all we needed. There was plenty to do to Lee us busy and entertained right on their property, but also they offered ideas and suggestions to check out in the area. And Kathy is an amazing cook, so Cracker Barrel breakfast has nothing on her! Check it out!

02/09/2020In life, one must experience this unique B&B. The hospitality, friendliness, and accommodations, I experienced, are absolutely and positively “over-the-top.” Each room has a unique design character that radiates warmth,... read more charm, and comfort. Sitting on (perhaps imported) exotic and beautiful Mexican tile was my masterfully made “tree branch bed.” Mere words cannot convey the craftsmanship of this beam-exposed vaulted ceiling home, striking and impressive furniture, and gorgeous stone fireplaces. Such detail and beauty must be viewed up-close and personal. The enchanting scenic views against the backdrop of the distant mountains are picturesque and seeing the warm glow diminish across the wide valley at sunset was mesmerizing and almost hypnotic. A peaceful hiking trail created for tranquility brought grazing does and fawns into plain sight. Our community 9 am breakfast was graciously blessed by our heavenly Christian God. The exceptional fresh and delicious breakfast seemed to keep us all talking for quite some time long after our food was gone. An incredible swimming pool and a hand-made pool table made after-hours an engaging treat to an already ideal stay. Thank you for a time I’ll always remember. -Spencer S.
