Creekside 2 Bedroom Cabin by RedAwning

Creekside 2 Bedroom Cabin by RedAwning
Townsend
"This place was perfect for our trip. It鈥檚 located close to everything the area has to offer. We didn鈥檛 have more than a 45 minute drive to get to anything. The place is simple, in a good way. It has everything you need and nothing you don鈥檛. The best part is the back deck over the mountain creek. It was very relaxing to sit out there and listen to the water. We spent most of our time at the cabin enjoying that. The hot tub on the deck was a nice bonus as well. The area is absolutely beautiful...

"Tressa was extremely hospitable! We enjoyed our stay and will look to stay again when needed. The only amenity that we are used to with hotels that we didn't have here is a hair dryer. We didn't think to ask in advance and didn't take one with us. But that's not a negative regarding our stay or the property. Great location as well."
