The property features a heated pool and hot tub (enclosed in Fall for Winter swimming, and shared with our other cottage and inn, but lots of room for everyone). We also have a new barn venue that overlooks the pool--great for groups/weddings/reunions or rent for your private pool house. Pets welcome.

The newly appointed Creekside Cottage at Goldberry Woods is located in a quiet and secluded location surrounded by nature and includes 3 bedrooms, 2 full baths, large screened porch, a full kitchen, laundry room, and more!
