Creekfront Retreat on Yellow Breeches, Sleeps 8, Kayaks, Firepit, Fishing

Creekfront on the Yellow Breeches — room for the whole group!

Set right on the banks of the Yellow Breeches Creek, this 3-bedroom home sleeps 8 with space for everyone to spread out. Two primary suites, each with a private en-suite, make it easy for two couples or multiple generations to share without crowding. The third bedroom sleeps three more, and a foldable queen is available on request.

The heart of the home is an open living, dining, and kitchen space with an oversized sectional and 86" smart TV, built for meals together and easy evenings in. A three-season porch overlooks the water, where bald eagles, herons, deer, and owls are regular visitors.

Outside, the deck and backyard open directly to the creek. Four kayaks with paddles and life jackets are ready at the water, fishing gear is provided, and the firepit, BBQ grill, and lawn games (cornhole, bocce, horseshoes) keep all ages busy. Kids under 12 wear life jackets on the water.

The kitchen is fully equipped for group cooking: espresso machine, coffee maker and grinder (coffee provided), air fryer, crockpot, blender, food processor, and full cookware. Board games and movie nights round out the evenings.

Layout details for planners:
Both primary suites have a King or Cal-King with en-suite (one downstairs with a shower, one upstairs with shower and tub). The upstairs suites are loft-style with separate stair entrances and do not connect, which gives privacy across the group. The third bedroom has a Queen plus a Full. The upstairs bedrooms are loft-style and do not have doors.

The location:
Yellow Breeches Creek for trout fishing and paddling from the backyard. The Appalachian Trail trailhead at Boiling Springs is under 2 miles, with Children's Lake, the Cumberland Valley Rail Trail, and Allenberry Resort (0.3 miles, farm-to-table dining at The Barn) close by. Carlisle is under 8 miles, close to Carlisle Fairgrounds and annual Car Shows. Day trips reach Hersheypark, Gettysburg, Lancaster, and Harrisburg. Dickinson University (8.8 miles) & Messiah University (7.5 miles): Whether you're visiting for parents weekend, graduation or alumni events, we are close to both campuses.

Good to know:
Self check-in by keypad. High-speed Wi-Fi and a dedicated desk for anyone working remotely. Well-behaved dogs welcome with approval and a fee; the property is unfenced and rural. Ample parking for 4 vehicles on a quiet private street.
Make yourself comfortable in this air-conditioned vacation home, featuring a kitchen with a refrigerator and an oven. There's a private patio. A Smart television and a DVD player are provided for your entertainment, while complimentary wireless internet access keeps you connected. Conveniences include a desk and a microwave.

We had such a wonderful stay! The house was spotless, nicely maintained, outfitted with every comfort, and even better than the photos. It had everything we needed for a comfortable and relaxing getaway. The host was absolutely wonderful-welcoming, accommodating, and clearly takes great pride in the property. We would love to stay here again!

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.

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.

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.

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.
