About this cottage rental
Unplug and reconnect with what really matters at this unique and tranquil getaway. During your Juniper Creek Cottage stay, you will enjoy some of the original charm and details of the updated 1950s home, along with the beauty and excitement of nature just outside the doors. Enjoy a cup of coffee on the front porch while watching the horses play across the street. Follow the babble of the creek, just steps behind the house. Explore local trails at the nearby Blackwater Forrest State Park.
This is a beautiful home built in 1950. The home sits on the front of the 10 acres, with Juniper Creek running through the middle of the property. We have worked to keep the home’s original charm, by exposing the stick built vaulted ceilings and heart pine floors, and refinishing the original claw foot tub. The ceilings are not enclosed (see photos). Many of the furnishings in the home are original to the time period in which the home was built. If you see something you like, it just might be for sale! Message the host to ask about pricing. Originally there was no central heat and air in the home so we installed a mini split unit, which heats and cools the home. There are additional fans and heaters in each bedroom, if needed. The bedrooms tend to get warmer in the summer and colder in the winter. The kitchen boasts its original cabinets, with a new butcher block top. There is a vintage style mid-sized refrigerator, a full size stove/oven, microwave, and drip coffee maker. There are additional kitchen items. The bathroom boasts a beautifully restored claw foot tub. We have high speed WiFi available via Starlink. There is a smart TV available in the living room. You can also stream to your own devices, using our high speed internet. The cell and internet service is great. There are books and games available, as well as plenty to enjoy outside. There is a shower nozzle that can be used in the tub as well. The intent of this property is to be a place to unplug and connect with one another and with nature.
There is a wooden picnic table and small charcoal grill on one side of the house. On that same side of the house, there is a nice fire pit area. Perfect for enjoying the outdoors!
The wooded area at the back of the house is where you will find signs directing you to Juniper Creek. The trail leads to two rustic wooden benches at the creek. The benches and signs are made from cedar trees harvested from the property. Breathe in the fresh air and smell of cedars while listening to the creek flow!
There are many deer, raccoons, squirrels, and rabbits that roam freely throughout the property.

Lovely rustic place with plenty of outdoor room to roam and view the creek! Great place for a couple of friends or just for one and your furry friend to just relax like we did. A/C is great, space to relax in the rooms is nice. Simplistic, rustic and just the right amount of out of the way! Bathtub is fun, fire pit stocked and boutique front porch is perfect to relax and recharge. Good value for the pricing. Want simple and away??? This is the place.

Definitely a farm house. Would be great for kids with the 10acres. At the end of the road so was very quiet and serene. Could be a little more organized but overall it would definitely give it two thumbs up overall.

Booking and check in/out communications with the host were quick and simple. The property is exactly as described and pictured. The place is quaint and perfect for anyone who values peace and quiet. The yard has plenty of room for parking and pets if you bring them. The fire pit area is cute and there is a great little grill. There is fire wood and charcoal and lighter fluid for those who don’t plan ahead. The fridge inside is small but mighty and there is a stove and small oven for cooking. We drank and made ice with the tap water which had no off taste. Super cute glassware. The beds were actually super comfortable. Now, full disclosure yes the pictures are accurate, in case you don’t notice, there is no shower and open rafters throughout most of the house. It’s 2 bedrooms directly next to one another so sound barriers or not, your kids will hear you. The tub is great for kids or any perfectly capable adult or romantic couple. I’m 5’5 and had no issues sitting and washing my longer length hair with the hand sprayer. If you require a stand up shower, keep looking at other places. The coffee pot worked well and they even had coffee/filters that I’d forgotten. The check out instructions were super simple. No stripping linens and starting laundry. Lots of places charge cleaning fees but expect you to pretty much clean the place before you leave. Oh and they have a record player with lots of old country artists. WiFi worked great as did the AC.

My family and I needed a spot to have a small family gathering. Unfortunately, there were some things left out. Around the house was multiple wasps nests and we had a person that is severely allergic, the fridge was not clean with noticeable hair and the bathroom contained a bathtub with a hose not an actual shower. When I sent a message about renting the house, I let the host know we would be having a small Thanksgiving, but the host did not make me aware that the house did not have a full kitchen that the description says. There is a mini fridge, a small stove, and only like two pots and one pan. Also, there were no curtains for the bathroom window and a large window in the dining area. However, the living room and bedrooms were decent. There is also no insulation, which should’ve been written in the description. The air conditioning unit worked well, but I feel like that should be noted.
