Historic Ox Bow House c.1800 - Waterfront

A cabin in the woods with a hot coffee and warm blanket nestled by a beautiful fire pit overlooking the creek is just what everyone needs to getaway.

The cabin at Muddy Creek is a beautifully restored stone home on 40+ acres with over 4,000 ft of the creek running through it. A perfect getaway for those really looking to get away from the hustle and bustle of every day life. It's whatever you want to make it! Tons of things to get into with the family or a peaceful place to relax and really connect with nature. Not to mention .. pet friendly! We love our furry family members and think they should be included in family vacations as well! Regardless of what you do here, the sound of the running water from the creek that runs through the property really soothes the soul.

Enjoy our property to its full potential .. Have fun spending the day fishing, kayaking (two single kayaks available), tubing (4 tubes available), hiking, or just walking the grounds. The little ones love going into the stream to catch crawdads and salamanders! There is so much fun to be had and plenty of memories to be made here!

If you're more low key, this is the perfect place for you as well! Enjoy the sound of the running water in our adirondack chairs down near the creek and if you're really feeling adventurous, light up a fire in the pit! You could also take a walk over to the tree swing or the bridge and relax with a good book.

We do need to note that this house was built in the 1800s, it for sure was not built the way homes are made today (which obviously makes this home VERY special) The two staircases in the house are narrow and you may need to be careful and possibly have to duck your head a little going up and down. We would say if you have mobility issues you may want to figure out if staying here is the best plan for you.

Beautiful property. We had a great weekend with friends tubing, enjoying the property, and exploring the area. Our dogs loved the place. Had an issue with yellow jackets in the dog run, but the owners were super responsive. We plan to come back. If we were to imagine our dream home, it would be this! What a special place!

Amazing property!

I thought we were renting a cute cabin but had no idea about the property itself. The cabin is indeed adorable (and 200 years old!) but also on acres of land, a creek, and it's stunning. The hosts were responsive and thoughtful, and made our stay comfortable. Every detail considered. Highly recommend (but don't tell everyone, we want to be future renters too!).

The cabin is beautifully decorated and cozy and was a perfect setting for a relaxing New Year’s holiday. Our dog enjoyed the fenced in area and exploring the vast grounds, as did we.
