Butterfly Creek is an amazing property, it is beautifully decorated with elegant decor and well maintained home. The home is very spacious and it accommodates up to 16 people easily. Great place for multi-families or a group trip. This my second time staying at Butterfly Creek for a woman's retreat consisting of ten ladies. The ladies in our group had an amazing time and everyone had their own bed to sleep in. Each bedroom has its own bathroom, which is a great amenity when traveling with ladies. The upstairs loft has a steam shower that is very relaxing. The scenery is very peaceful and relaxing. The house is equipped with kitchen utensils, appliances, and a grill (less items you have to bring) The backyard is huge and great for a BBQ or outdoor activities. The bonus is the awesome host Sasha, she provides stellar customer service. When the ladies and I visit, it feels like we are visiting family and Sasha makes us feel right at home. I look forward to my next stay scheduled for October 2023. Butterfly Creek is my favorite home to rent for a mini family getaway and/or a retreat. Thank you Sasha for everything! See you soon.

HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!! Sasha was by far one of the best host I have ever had the pleasure of dealing with. She truly gave us a 5* experience. From her flexibility with check in/check out, to accommodating every request... we could not have asked for a better experience. She made sure the hotel was immaculate and clean, as well as helped us with our travel arrangements. She even reached out to me after we had left to return some forgotten items. Thank you Sasha!! Your hospitality and service is truly exceptional!

Our recent stay at the Inn was amazing. From being greeted by Sarah, a super welcoming and friendly hostess, to the most comfortable beds imaginable. The rooms were perfectly private and quiet and the best part was the inn was like being in our own home. We woke up early and could go downstairs to make our own breakfast and coffee and chat casually with the other guests. We ate our breakfast in the rocking chairs overlooking the creek, it was so peaceful and relaxing. Sarah helped my husband book a great dinner at a local restaurant as well as recommending a local winery and activities. We highly recommend the Butterfly Creek Inn and we plan on staying there again in the future.

Butterfly Creek Inn is an excellent place for a family get together. We stayed here for 3 nights (5 families with kids) and we had a fantastic time. With a beautiful spread out house amidst peaceful surroundings and with a clean creek flowing right next to the house, it's a great option for a 'close to the nature' experience. There are grocery/ABC stores within 10 minutes drive, and tennis courts/park about 15 minutes away. Host Sasha is extremely nice and very accommodating with our requests including late checkout, and made us feel very welcomed ! This was quite a memorable trip and exceeded our expectations.
