- "Booking was Very easy. The Cabin is exactly as shown on the website." - "It's wonderful no physical check-in no one to talk to just in and out no hassle no worries we'll definitely stay again" - "We really enjoyed our stay at the Bobcat bunkhouse/The restaurant Lakeside edge was very delicious and pet friendly. Creek was a little low and dirty due to the rains. We were not able to find a lake nearby we didn’t fill up our gas tank before we entered and we did not hit the grocery store before we entered, we will know better next time to make that stop first so we can continue eastbound and scout. Our fur babies felt right at home I loved every moment of it in the clean air. Thank you for some well deserved R&R"

- "Our family has been wanting to go camping for a while and this property is exactly what we were looking for. The location is secluded enough to make you feel 'remote', without actually being remote. The camper is beautiful and comes with everything needed to have a great family weekend. All you have to do is show up and relax. The only downside is that the mattress on the master bed is extremely hard and my husband found it very uncomfortable to sleep on. This would not deter us from another trip, but it is something we would compensate for by bringing some type of comforter or topper to make it more manageable. The other challenge is that the screens on the windows are not air tight, so you do get small knats and flys. This was not a big deal to us. We expected bugs because we were 'camping' and we brought a fly swatter for this reason. However, if bugs are not your 'cup of tea' I would recommend one of the many other cabins at the Creekside property. We will definitely return to this location!"

- "The cabin we rented fit our needs perfectly (almost). After realizing that there was no stove/oven in the cabin, the manager and employees were very accommodating, and immediately furnished us with everything we needed to prepare our food at the barbeque station, and dine in our cabin. It actually turned out better than having a stove/oven. So, our needs were perfectly fulfilled afterall. Thanks! We will be staying again, I'm sure!" - "My husband and I stayed here for a night. We loved the cozy cabin and how close it was to the restaurant. We love Christopher Creek and will definitely come back for a longer stay."
