Girls Trip 2025
Property was well maintain & very nice. Upon arrival, we had issues with AC not working property & I had to purchase fans to cool the house down. However, it began working. The driveway needs some work. But overall, the place was great and we enjoyed staying there. We would definitely stay again and recommend to family and friends.

great spot for ETBU families
One of the nicer VRBOs that we've stayed at when visiting our ETBU student. Needed a little attention to cleaning baseboards and behind doors. Coffee machine is a Keurig and K cups were provided. Comfortable and plenty living room seating a dining seating. spacious rooms and master bath. Thank you for hosting.

ETBU Weekend
It was a great house. A little Wi-Fi issue upon check in that was resolved the next day. We were so close to ETBU campus! We grilled one night and also enjoyed local eateries! The SPOT is an excellent breakfast place right down the road!

Hippie 60 Birthday
My family gathered for my 60th birthday and came from New Orleans. The back porch was perfect for gathering and the house was so spacious. The beds and bedding were so nice. The acorns on the tin roof was a little frightening at times but country living at its best! Beautiful surroundings! We love the Shultz family and Bearcreek never disappoints!

Fabulous total eclipse of the sun week
.Despite the cloudy and rainy last two days, the weather was perfect for our stay. The owners couldn’t have been more gracious and accommodating, bringing us a new Keurig coffee maker within an hour of mentioning the fact that we didn’t have coffee for breakfast. They also sent a maintenance person to tighten the toilet seats while we were gone! Couldn’t have been a better experience! Would have liked to use the porch a little more, but it was the beginning of the summer and they still had not pressure washed the back porch area, where there was a little mold and mildew present. Also, This is just the area for ants, and there were many around the back porch. Perhaps they will spray them and clean the furniture and decking off now the summer has arrived. I would definitely definitely stay here again.

My daughter and son-in-law live in the area and we needed some extra space for out-of-town family. This location was perfect. The property was beautiful, and it was just what we needed for a long weekend! Thanks to the Shoults family for a comfortable retreat!

Enjoyed the views and the cottage. Very comfy and cute for two couples visiting Marshall and Jefferson.
The smoke house next door is a must do. Bring your own shampoo and bath soap. Otherwise this place has it all and you will be happy you picked it.

Beautiful Setting
My family stayed here for two nights for two nights during the Thanksgiving weekend for a family event. The house was well appointed and had everything we needed. I would definitely come back another time. The bedrooms were comfortable and spacious and the kitchen had everything you needed to cook your own meals if you were inclined although with Bear Creek next door there is no need at all to cook for yourself. The house is beautiful and the setting is so peaceful. The owner was readily available and extremely accommodating and friendly. I would highly recommend staying here.
