The check-in went smoothly and we were pleased with our cabin. It was right on the water and we would open the door in the morning and watch the trees and creek while we stayed in bed. Our dog loved the place. She loved to explore the creek, hike the nearby trails and go to the dog park which was... More

We found Christopher Creek Lodge cabins online through Google, and although there were nothing but excellent ratings & reviews, we were weary about how our experience would be. However, no more than 5 minutes after arriving for our stay in Fisherman's cabin did we realize that our weekend was going to be AMAZING! The cabin was perfect - very clean... More

Have grown up camping at Christopher Creek and our stay as an adult in the lodge was absolutely amazing!!!

Christoper Creek Lodge is an awesome place to just unwind from a busy schedule, get away from the city and surround yourself with nature. The staff are very attentive and so friendly I thought i was staying at a friends. I can't recommend this place enough, this will now be a yearly trip for us!

Wanted to do some quick spring trout fishing on the Rim. Two guys stayed in one of their "motel" rooms at the front of the property. Smooth and friendly check-in process with guidance on where to park our truck and boat when we returned from fishing our first afternoon. We returned after dark, parked and had a great dinner across... More

To start off, I heard about Christopher Creek Lodge from a friend who knew exactly what I was looking for (relaxing weekend with my boyfriend, close to water and surrounded by trees). Upon looking at the user-friendly website, the virtual tour fully explained the detailed plans of the lodge including views of each room, in addition added a “Things to... More

You will not be disappointed. Great for the whole family. My 3year old had a blast. We went to Woods Canyon lake which is about 20min away and she hasnt stopped talking about our vacation since we got back. This wasnt the first and it definitely wont be the last time we go!!

A well needed getaway turned out to be a great relaxing fun experience. The staff (property mgr) is so personable and accommodating. We loved it so much we ended up staying another night. The only reason why I gave a 4 for cleanliness is because there were spiders in the bathroom... no biggy... but the sheets had some stains. But... More

We stayed in the Founder's Cabin, which was actually too big for two people and a dog, but we enjoyed it immensely! The staff is very friendly and visible, the bed was comfy, the climate controls were very good. There is a lot of history here! The creek is beautiful and you can hear it from the cabin all night!...

We checked in friday night over presidents day weekend. Myself and FOUR TEENAGE GIRLS! Our cabin was the cutest, coziest thing ever. The sound of the creek running by only a few yards away...squirrels cute and everywhere! The girls were delighted by the loft. The tiny but full kitchen was perfect for all our cooking three meals a day. My... More
