Historic Ox Bow House c.1800 "The Cabin at Muddy Creek"

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.


NO WEDDINGS OR EVENTS
(Fireplaces are for show only)

Disclosure- There are wildlife cameras attached to three trees on the property. They are nowhere near the house, or facing toward the house/ fire pit/hot tub/ barn & patio.

Tranquil & Peaceful Getaway!!!
What an amazing stay we had!!! First and foremost the hosts of the property are absolutely amazing. Their communication was clear, they answered all questions quickly, were extremely welcoming and shared all their knowledge of the area to insure a positive stay....just all around 5 star host. This property is an absolute gem of a find and offers a wide variety of things to do. From all the outdoor activities, to the small town flair there are plenty of amenities to keep you occupied. Fishing in the morning, hiking in the afternoon, and then resting around the firepit in the evening; we could not of asked for a more relaxing and stress relieving vacation. For us, the property is just a short trip from Md. to Pa.; however when you are there, you feel like you are miles away from home. It is very private and quiet. The home is very comfortable and the interior design flows perfectly with the structure. Our favorite part was sitting at the firepit that over looks the creek; just watching the water go by. Listening to music, counting the different type of wildlife, throwing a fishing line in...and not a worry in the world. Just a great place to be. There is no question that we will be back to this property!!! Thank you to the owners for sharing your little slice of heaven with us. Very grateful and looking forward to heading back up soon!!!

Unique and cozy!
My family (husband, 1.5year old, and dog) and I had a great time at the cabin! We booked it for a long weekend and planned to go to the Great Wild Lodge water park one day. It was not too far and a perfect location to just get away! The property is beautiful and amazing - my toddler and dog loved exploring. The house is so cozy and unique. Our dog did have trouble going down the stairs once he was up he was too scared to come down, but we just went down with him along the stairs on the side of the house and it was fine! We also had a fantastic experience with the hosts - very communicative and gracious - There was a nice welcome basket upon arrival :) Thanks for an awesome stay!

Amazing Weekend Away
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!

Perfect getaway in the countryside
Jodi & Adam's property is absolutely stunning. The house is even better in person than the pictures. Incredible attention to details in decorating the house, everything you need is there down to the welcoming s'mores kit and bottle of wine. The grounds are very well taken care off and the creek made for fun splashing for the dog and the humans. We only stayed two days (one night) because of scheduling conflicts so we didn't try out the kayaks or tubes. Give Ma Pa Pizza a try - you won't regret it! We certainly hope to be back soon! Thanks again for sharing this beautiful piece of land with the rest of us!

A Diamond in the Delta!
First of all, if there are better hosts on VRBO then we’ve yet to find them. Jodi and Adam were extremely helpful and gracious! The property is stunning. It has everything you could need for a romantic getaway. Upon arrival and easy access to entry we were greeted with a bottle of wine and a box with all the fixins for enjoying s’mores down by the fire pit. This 4 acre property is wonderful. Just down the path from the house is a stone fire pit overlooking Muddy Creek. We spent the better part of two days just sitting there with our favorite libations enjoying the view and watching the fire. I wish we had more info on things to do in the area…… but we spent our entire weekend at the house enjoying the property and each other’s company. I can tell you that the grocery store ShopRite was only a few miles away along with Delta Pizza (only a mile away) Across the street from ShopRite is a beer and wine store…..what more could one want! We brought our two dogs with us…a beagle mix rescue and a Golden Retriever. Let me say this…. They were in heaven running around the property and chasing each other. They also took advantage of the enclosed dog run to keep them sequestered when we needed. Beautifully decorated home with excellent touches, comfortable bed and pillows incredibly large modern bathroom and shower put a finish to this wonderful home. Part of me want this home to never be rented again so as to have it available for the next time we come back…..and we will be back!

Splendid!
Our first visit and we hope to return! Inside everything was as listed, and even better than the pics. We were in awe of the detailed millwork, there were luxurious touches everywhere, and the internet worked perfectly. Outside it was a magical oasis. Very private and lots to explore if you’re so inclined. Highly recommend!

Relaxing Weekend at Muddy Creek
There was a lot to explore on the property. We were able to just sit back and enjoy the surroundings. Enjoyed watching a snapping turtle make its way through the yard, a turkey make an appearance, a fawn grab a drink from the creek, a passing heron fly by, and a family of mergansers float by. The house takes you back in time with the luxury of modern amenities. Great chance to recharge. Hosts were more than accommodating.

Birthday Weekend
The cabin at muddy creek couldn’t have been a better choice for a birthday weekend. The property is amazing and gave us the opportunity to completely unplug. It was a great place for our dog Lucy as well with trails and the creek steps from the house. Jodi and Adam were excellent hosts who made the entire check in and check out process seamless and we’re always a text away if need be. We look forward to our next visit.

I was looking for a place with access to water that would allow me to bring my 3 dogs. I got that and so much more. My dogs had a full 40 acres to explore and a river they could swim in. The scenery was breath taking. The house was also amazing but who would want to stay inside with a fire pit, swings, and hot tub outside! So incredible and my dogs had a blast!

Amazing Week
We had a wonderful week at the cabin at Muddy Creek. The property is amazing. We went on walks around the property. The pictures do not even begin to show how beautiful and peaceful it is. My husband and I had to work while there for a few days and the internet was fantastic, it worked both in and outside the house so that i was able to work while my daughter played on the swing or in the creek. We were able to visit the Lancaster area for the day and be back in time for dinner at the Cabin which was really nice. The hosts were fantastic. We were able to do smores by the campfire one night and even tube down the creek in front of the house. We also found a really cute brewery nearby called Slate Farm Brewery just over the Maryland border, which was really fun. Overall a fantastic experience and we cant wait to come back next year!

Magical Nature Retreat
My husband, dog, and I spent a wonderful weekend at this property. The property itself is very large and private. The nature provides immense beauty and a very relaxing experience. We ate all meals outdoors with the beautiful river views from the fire pit area. We needed time away from our busy city lives and this was a perfect retreat. The photos do not do the property justice! Indoors is very well appointed— clean, updated, and comfortable. The hot tub is a fun addition too! Communicating with the hosts was supremely easy. They were lovely hosts and very accommodating! We were not able to get in before 10:30m Friday, and they graciously allowed us to stay later on Sunday (because no guests arriving that day). That made a HUGE difference for us to get a few more hours. Thank you to the hosts!!! We hope to be back soon.

Make your dog’s dreams come true haha
Agree with all of the wonderful things previous reviewers had to say, so without being redundant, will just say that if you love your dog(s), they will be in paradise running and swimming to their heart’s content! Ours did not want to leave! When we stopped to throw away the garbage he jumped out and tried going back to the gate haha. We have a small yard at home and he doesn’t always play well with others, so no dog runs. And we even have a pool, but he will only go in water where he can stand. He gets long walks, sometimes on leash in our local park creek, but he doesn’t get to run free the way he did here. Worth every penny experiencing his joy! Even our 15 year old son was in heaven enjoying our usually lazy pittie’s infectious energy. He gives it 5 paws. We also liked the big fenced in dog area for quick business, which was convenient for when we weren’t monitoring him as it is attached to the side door of the house. Great property and hosts, highly recommend.
