Creekfront Home on Yellow Breeches - Kayaks, Firepit, Wildlife & 3BR/3BA

This is the trip your family will talk about for years.

A private creekfront home on the Yellow Breeches Creek in Boiling Springs, PA — where the kids are outside all day, the adults actually relax, and nobody's checking their phone. Kayak from your backyard, fish off the bank, gather around the firepit at night, and wake up to bald eagles and herons outside your window. Sleeps up to 9. Three full bedrooms, three bathrooms, a fully stocked kitchen, and enough outdoor space to keep everyone busy for days.

The Home
The main floor is built for groups — an open-concept kitchen, dining, and living area that keeps everyone together without feeling cramped. The oversized sectional and 86" Smart TV make for great movie nights, and the three-seasons porch is where you'll end up every morning with your coffee, watching the creek roll by.

Bedrooms & Bathrooms:
-Primary suite (downstairs) — king bed, private en-suite shower bathroom
-Primary suite (upstairs) — California king bed, private en-suite shower and tub bathroom
-Third bedroom — queen bed + full bed, TV/DVD player
-Foldable queen mattress available
-Note: the two upstairs loft suites each have their own staircase entrance and don't connect — great for privacy between adult couples or families sharing the home

Kitchen:
Fully equipped for feeding a group without stress. Espresso machine, air fryer, crockpot, blender, food processor, high-quality cookware, and more. Coffee provided. Plenty of counter space and seating for everyone to gather while meals come together.

Outside: The Real Reason You're Here
Step off the back deck and you're at the creek. This is where families spend most of their time.

-4 kayaks w/ paddles and life jackets ready to go — no rental hassle, no extra cost
-Fishing gear included for a relaxed afternoon on the bank (experienced anglers, bring your own setup)
-Firepit with seating — perfect for s'mores, stories, and staying up too late
-Lawn games — cornhole, bocce, horseshoes
-Wildlife watching — bald eagles, great blue herons, deer, owls, and ducks visit the backyard regularly. Kids love it.
-Deck & backyard with direct creek frontage and seating for the whole group

Location

The Creekfront Nature Retreat is a lovely home with a spectacular location. We had especially good weather so the fire ring and kayaks were well used. The S'mores makings were an unexpected treat. The kitchen had everything we needed, and bedrooms were spacious and comfortable. Would definitely stay here again.

Family vacation

My husband and I wanted time with our 3 adult children and one fiancé. The house had room for all of us to have time together and have separate moments. We enjoyed breakfast at the house overlooking the water. Dinners together and so many memories were made.

Great weekend stay

This cottage was perfect for our weekend stay for a wedding in nearby Mechanicsburg. We had six people in our group - three adult couples. This three bedroom cottage had plenty of room for us. The location is very scenic and quiet. We enjoyed sitting on the deck or in the screened-in porch and watching the wildlife. We saw a deer with her two babies and a variety of birds.We enjoyed hiking along the Appalachian Trail which runs right through Boiling Springs. However, I recommend the short drive to Pine Grove Furnace State Park where you can hike to the trail's halfway point.Unfortunately rain prevented us from enjoying the kayaks and firepit but we look forward to doing so on our next visit.

Beautiful home right on the River!

Phenomenal home that’s been renovated and expanded. Beautiful setting right on the Yellow Breeches Creek. Our only regret is now staying long enough to enjoy the kayaks. Very clean and well appointed.

Even better than expected!!!

We had a spectacular time at the property. It was extremely clean and comfortable with everything you could need and more! Didn’t think our teens would kayak, however the loved it, and had so much fun. It’s close to everything, yet far enough removed and peaceful. The beds were extremely comfortable, even more so than expected!!! Would absolutely book again without question.

Yellow Breeches Creek

This is in a great location and wonderful water area. Kayaking was so peaceful. The house had washer and dryer which was very convenient. Dishwasher. Only use to Keurig so going back to a full pot was a little wasteful though. I wish I would have brought extra one to leave there. Bike there we enjoyed to so we could see the area around. Boiling springs is beautiful. So many things close by Stacey made me feel like I was home and she was part of my family. I’ve been telling everyone and recommending this place. We would stay again but longer next time.
