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.
