Suitability
- wheelchair inaccessibleWe have railings with both staircases into/out of the house and running along side the steps to the creek but these don't create wheelchair accessible pathways. We offer you a truly private location to enjoy with no other vacationers around - just the owners a little ways 'downstream' from the guesthouse. Families who enjoy it the most here are those who aren't looking to be entertained with water park or rental park activities. If you and your kids enjoy being outside and don't want to be surrounded by noise and a lot of people you don't know, then this is an ideal place for you. If you're ATVers or snowmobilers, the you can park your trailers on the east end of the property and drive your rigs right out onto the trail. (The township road we're on is an access link to both the ATV/dual sport and snowmobile trails.
Notes
- The mowed paths in the woods are easy to negotiate, the fire pit is close to the house and the wrap-around deck gives everyone all the room they need to spread out and relax. Lots of lawn chairs, nice picnic tables, end tables, grills and seasonal hanging baskets and planters. Fellow gardeners are going to love all the flowerbeds around the house and the gorgeous container gardening. Separate, completely-furnished screen room above the creek sleeps 2 comfortably during warmer months. No electric or water, but truly outstanding views of the creek and easy access to the water.

Many have taken the time to leave reviews in our guest book, and many others have posted them to this listing. Please do take the time to read the reviews folks have posted about us here on HomeAway. Reviews help travelers to "read between the lines" of what property owners and managers write.

What makes this Guest house/pension unique
The house is located on its own acre of land that gives our guests a fun mixture of woods with mowed paths, outdoor badminton/volleyball game court, grill, fire pit, table & chairs, a furnished screen room and - best of all - easy private access to a beautiful trout stream. The house is filled with amenities you won't find in most summer rentals. A few quick examples: there's at least a dozen sets of china, flatware, glasses and bowls, coffee cups and wine glasses in the kitchen; there's not just salt & pepper to use, there's cooking & baking spices plus a handy supply of flour and sugar, even a coffee bean grinder; the laundry room has soap & fabric softener - even stain remover if you need it; each bed has at least two pillows - the queen bed has 5; the re's comfortable furniture in the living room - plus games, toys & books to read, a radio, and a whole cabinet full of DVD & VHS movies; the wrap-around deck doesn't have just one table, it has two, each with its own set of chairs, a large lounger and other side chairs with end tables and a really nice gas grill. Best of all: fabulous views of the woods, the stream and clear night skies. Creekside isn't just a place to visit, it's a little corner of heaven you have to see to believe. It's private and quiet. This is the 16th year we've been sharing it with guests who have brought us laughter, smiles, great stories, warm company and lots of funny, well-loved K9s.
