Creekside Stay
Community is great, location is good. Staff communication was great. Creekside does need some maintenance but was serviceable. When we return, Reeling in the Years will be our preferred cottage.

Great place!
Overall great stay at the Creekside Cabin! Biggest complaint would be the strange odor inside that smelled like possible old cigarette smoke? The check-in was easy, but the directions provided in the email for how to open/lock the front door, as well as the wifi info were not accurate. The notebook inside the property had correct wifi info. Location is beautiful and the grounds are lovely. We had a great time!

Great rental in a great location!!
Everything was wonderful! Management company was great at communicating and responding in a timely manner. Had a slight issue with the WI-FI and it was quickly rectified even though it was almost 5pm on a holiday weekend. Love the location. It was just close enough to get to New Bern easily but have peace and quiet after a day of touring. My favorite time was morning coffee on the porch. They really have everything you need and it’s just a very cute cottage.

End of Summer Getaway
We enjoyed our end of the summer getaway before school starts back this past weekend! Creekside was a great spot to relax, be by the water, & enjoy family time.Neuse River is gorgeous! We were able to add an early arrival day with no problem do to power outage from storm back home. Luved Creekside was dog friendly so we could bring our Shihpoo with us! We enjoyed the khakis, pool, bike riding the property, and trails! Also loved that the fairy was close by and took a day trip over to Beaufort and Shackledfurd Banks! Also took a ride over to New Bern for site seeing, bear hunting around downtown, and ice cream at moo cafe!
