Cousin bonding at the lake
A GREAT time was had at the house by the lake ❣️. We had a cousins gathering with 4 couples & enjoyed our spray. Would like it noted that bed in basement is on the floor & extremely difficult for seniors to enter & exit. Loved the time at the lake & guys would have enjoyed better fishing. Alot of cards & laughs

Everything about the home was welcoming and perfect for our weekend! We needed a larger drive way...but that happens when your group is gathering from multiple states. The property owner was very responsive to messages.

Thanksgiving holiday
Not as isolated as I thought it would be - socked in between two other homes - did have public lake access to the back of the property - but this is not a private, beachfront property. Had to walk through the yard to get to front porch (which meant trudging through the snow in November) -- they could use a better sidewalk. No garage access and mud had accumulated in front of garage door. Blinding sunlight coming through uncoverable windows in kitchen that face due west. Had to listen to power mowers most of the first day and part of the third day (mowing stopped on Thanksgiving day, thank goodness). Property manager did respond to complaints/issues but could offer no practical solutions - other than "thanks for the suggestion!".

Home is comfortable and in a beautiful setting. The property is well represented by listing photos. Older home has been updated in many ways. Overall a good spot for our group of seven to spend a few nights.

Great place to stay
We stayed at the Rock Creek house during our kids' fall break. Coming from Texas, we enjoyed the cool weather, the dark skies, and the quiet. It's so so quiet. And our kids enjoyed the wifi, not always a given at properties near this location. It's a great location. A HUGE yard for the kids to explore, with the lake just a few steps away. And far enough away to feel a little isolated, but only a 10-15 minute drive to grocery stores and restaurants. Would definitely stay again!

Great place for our family get away
Beautiful & quiet area. Large back yard with great view of the lake. The house worked out well for our family in spite of having four levels. Having younger children, the many levels could be difficult to maneuver & was not mentioned in the description. There is a large deck where we ate all of our meals. Overall, the house & area were great!

Expansive yard with closeup view of the lake
Our family had an event in Grinnell and we decided to stay out in the country. Although October was too late in the season for any water sports, we really enjoyed the views and the trees. The enormous backyard extends almost to the lake. The house is cute, with two separate gathering places. The artificial fireplaces are real conversation pieces. The house seems very new, and it'll be even better when the owners get some basic furniture in the bedrooms. Glad we decided to stay at Rock Creek Lake!

Location!!!
This house was clean, comfortable, spacious and a great location to enjoy Rock Creek Lake and trail. We had our SUP boards and were able to walk from the house to the boat dock to drop in and paddle within minutes. Easy access to trail although the trail is unmarked behind the near by properties ( just follow the lake line and trust the DNR map). Owner very responsive, quickly adjusted the thermostat to our comfort level. Great for couple getaway or family vacation.
