About this cottage rental

Enjoy Serenity on Craig, a private waterfront mountain retreat surrounded by views of the Alleghany Mountains. You cannot beat these views! The clear water of Craig's Creek beckons guests to kayak, tube, fish and swim in its waters. Bring your dog to enjoy it all! This new cottage (sister to popular Cottage on Craig - VRBO 335245) is outfitted with everything you need for your getaway into nature. It is the perfect place to be active and explore (includes a canoe, kayaks, tubes but bring your own fishing pole) or thoroughly relax. Firewood is provided for your primitive outdoor firepit which is ready for s'mores and more. View the night sky free of light pollution. The large patio overlooks the natural beauty of the water and mountains around you. It's the perfect spot for your morning coffee or evening glass of wine. Serenity on Craig is peaceful and your place to recharge. Soon see why we have so many return guests to Craig's Creek from the local area and beyond.

This property is aptly named, Serenity. It’s quiet, peaceful and secluded; exactly what we were looking for! We enjoyed kayaking down the creek, fishing and looking for lizards and turtles. I spend many hours sitting in the quiet of nature reading books. It is an excellent property if you are looking to get away for a few days!

This is the perfect getaway. Relaxing and enjoying the beautiful scenery. Everything was on one level, even the creek had stairs and handrails for easy and safe access. Very clean and well furnished. The owners are very responsive with ckear instructions prior to our arrival. Highly recommend. We will definitely be returning.
