Great place for true outside relaxation. So nice to step away from busy lives!

Property was clean, cozy and comfortable. So appreciate all the games, provisions and charm . We have been before, and will certainly return. If you you love the idea of a secluded, and welcoming corner of the earth, this is the place. We spent the majority of our time outside in the chairs, walking and roaming around by the river. Hopefully when it is a little warmer, we plan to return, and kayak this beautiful creek. Thank you to the Bowmans!!

Friend weekend getaway

Our stay on Craig Creek was wonderful! The weather was incredibly windy so we couldn't do much on the creek and lost power due to the insane winds Saturday but it was so lovely to be outside and exploring the area right around the cabin. Mitch reported the outage for us and called us when the power was restored to ensure everything was ok. The porch bedroom was amazing as well! It was so nice to wake up with the creek and mountain view directly in front of you and we could see the stars at night from our bed!

Beautiful and Peaceful

All three of us really enjoyed our stay at this cabin. The area is beautiful and very quiet. There are several hiking trails close by. We especially loved the smores that were provided :) We definitely would recommend this place to our friends!
