Unique, quirky, well-equipped
Great spot for visiting family over Thanksgiving! We enjoyed the space and the well-stocked kitchen as we prepped side dishes to take to a family holiday meal. We only had one couple upstairs and one down, so the curtained upstairs bedrooms weren’t an issue. Great TV area and spacious bath upstairs! Yard and setting are beautiful. Our dog loved the big windows for watching the creek and the cows/steer across the road. Would stay again!

What a unique spot!
We spent three days here and it was so nice. Being right on / over the creek was something I had never seen before and it made for a fun setting. Kayaking, rafting, and fishing filled most of the days, when we weren't just relaxing in the yard. We enjoyed the firepit and the grill, and I got in a nice nap in one of the few hammocks around the yard. Inside is very clean and well stocked, and the layout and decor are as fun as the outdoor setting.

The property is beautiful and the home is charming. All the provisions were great so only improvement to suggest would be brighter bulbs for those gray days. Some areas of the home felt very dark. Will be a true stunner when you finish updating!

Nature abounds
My husband and I rented Cross Creek house for our family Christmas. We drove from Florida and wanted a house for our family to gather on Christmas Eve and Christmas morning. Claire was very easy to communicate with and made sure the house had a tree and some Christmas decorations to make our stay even more homey. We loved sitting at the kitchen table watching the birds and nature all around us. Beautiful land and we enjoyed the home thoroughly!

Cool house over the creek
I thought the concept of the house was awesome from first picture i saw. Plenty of space in and outside to feel like you have your own privacy, but things to do and food are literally 5-10 minutes away. Will definitely go again in warmer weather so we can enjoy the kayaks. Thanks to Claire for letting us use her home as ours.

This place is magical!
We booked this lovely spot as four moms looking for a sanctuary- a place for respite and renewal. This place delivered. As only three of us could spend the two nights, and the last visited for an evening, the three bedrooms were perfect for our group. There was plenty of room for us and all we wanted to do. Two of us didn't leave the property the entire time. Walking the grounds, experiencing the huge trees, enjoying the scenery, feeling the peaceful energy and all the critters was exactly what our souls needed. As you eat at the table indoors, a hummingbird would come say hi. The woodpeckers were boundless. As I ate outdoors early one morning, I was greeted by a cardinal and then a white squirrel. The next morning, the white squirrel and a deer said hello. The owner has lots of little things to help you enjoy your stay. Need scissors? They are on the counter with some art supplies! Forget your toothbrush? Don't worry, she has you covered! The towels and linens were thick and plush. I would love to come back to this home. It felt like home as soon as I walked in. To the discerning-this home is quirky. A window may have water damage preventing a tight closure, a blind missing in a window, doors leading to nowhere. The house has character and we loved it. I am VERY much a "needs it to seem REALLY clean to feel comfortable when I travel" and this place delivered. Maybe a large bowl here or there some prior renter didn't wash out properly surfaced....

Stayed for my daughter's graduation from OSU. We were able to enjoy a weekend in nature - fire pit, watching birds, relaxing by the creek - and be close enough to the University. Perfect place to stay.

Very nice property offering privacy in a country setting yet close to restaurants and shopping. Longhorn cattle across the road, nice views of the river, and birdwatching all from the large windows in the dining area.

Tranquil, Unique Creek Home
We could not have asked for a more peaceful and fun home to celebrate our son's birthday. The property is gorgeous and allowed for hours of fun by the creek, lounging in the hammock, swinging, hanging out by the fire, and playing tag in the massive yard. The outer beauty of the property flows into the home with the tasteful decorations, numerous plants and natural light that flows through the many windows. We enjoyed the piano along with the provided puzzles and games and of course, we loved the room that goes right over the creek! We had beautiful fall weather and hope to return in the summer sometime to enjoy the tubes and kayaks! Two logistical things I would pass along especially to those planning a trip with young children... There are three bedrooms but only one has a door (downstairs) while the other two upstairs have privacy curtains. We also purchased our own drinking water due to the rust in the water at the home. These are not complaints as we LOVED our stay; they are just things we would share so others can plan accordingly ahead of time. Thank you for a wonderful time!!

A Must Stay
The property is amazing and has nice views. We stayed 3 nights and I must say it was wonderful. Lots of birds and squirrels to watch. Loved the spiral stairs that go from the kitchen to upstairs. It felt like home away from home. I would definitely stay here again. If you don't rent this home you are definitely missing out. Highly recommend.

Great vacation home
My children (ages 10 and 12) stayed here to explore Columbus and visit family. We had a wonderful time. I wasn't sure how interested my kids would be in the creek but we spent 3 mornings and an evening kayaking, splashing, and looking for crawdads. It was perfect. Claire was super easy to communicate with. The home was close to downtown attractions but we still felt out in the country.

Unique experience
Unique home. Overall memorable experience. We hit some snags but host was very responsive. Fair warning- Winding stairs are challenging for the old and young. My child touched the door lock which locked us out the house- which we were warned about. But host was quite amenable. Not super clean- some dust, hair and spiderwebs all about, but great touches of home like games and paper for drawing for the kids. If you are the outdoors woodsy type you will love it.

Awesome Covered Bridge House
Even better than expected. Truly a comfortable home and sturdy build that compliments the location. We’ll appointed amenities, comfortable beds and furniture. We’ll stocked kitchen. Properties was well maintained. Bird feeders were stocked which allowed us to view numerous birds and squirrels—even an albino squirrel! Host recommendations were spot on. Worth a repeat stay.

Cross Creek-perfect home base
We were in New Albany for my son’s wedding. Cross creek provides us the perfect home base for all of our events. We were within 10 minutes of the local church, the rehearsal dinnner, and the wedding venue. The upstairs was great for the groom and groomsmen getting ready for the wedding. The serene yard offered us some relaxation time in between the activities. It was very comfortable, unique, and had everything we needed. What more could you ask for!

Creek House
It was Great. The property is large and loaded with wildlife. Every size woodpecker spotted. Buck and Doe crossing creek was beautiful. Lots of windows to see it all. House was clean and the owners supply things I have never seen before at a rental. Water and K-cups to get you started. There are baskets in the bathrooms with essentials in case you forgot something! Room over the creek very comfy with fireplace. Highly recommend a stay here. I will be back for a summer visit and a fall visit. Almost forgot... You are really close to everything such as fine dining, fast food, shopping etc...
