A message from the owner:
Kilbuck Creek is not just a business to us, and it’s not just a house, it’s a place where family and friends get to come together and spend quality time with each other in a world where time goes by far too fast. As the owner of this property, I have raised all 6 of my children here, and I've handpicked almost everything you see in the house. My kids grew up coming down the stairs on Christmas morning, or playing in the woods till the sun went down, and we have spent countless meals together in this kitchen. This home and property holds so many special memories and means so much to our family, and we love that we can now share this special place with other families so they can experience that joy as well.
Having said that, it is with the utmost sincerity that we ask you to treat our home with the respect it deserves. Please understand that this isn’t just a business to us, this is where my children have been raised and where we still come together to spend quality time with each other. Our cleaning staff is like family to us, and they put a lot of time and energy into getting the house ready for each group. Please help them out by picking up the house before checkout, it’s greatly appreciated!!

All groups must have an I.D. to present at check in, and we will be looking into each group that requests to book.

*No Prom or Homecoming groups
*Service animals are allowed, but please notify our staff so we can send you our guidlines. Also, documentation must be provided.
*No therapy or emotional support animals allowed.

15 Year Family Reunion

Amazing to say the least! Our family has a yearly reunion going since 2009. This was by far the best cabin we have stayed at. Location, staff were amazing. Mona is the best! Hope to be back soon when a weekend opens up in 2025 or 2026.

Thanksgiving Gathering

This is our second time spending Thanksgiving at this wonderful Home. And every time we couldn’t be happier. Thank you again to the owner for opening her doors so that other families can enjoy this beautiful place. Hope to rent in the spring or summer next time so that we can enjoy the outdoors as well.

Friend getaway

The home is extremely clean and spacious! The property is beautiful! The only thing that solos have made it better is if the pool heater was working as that was a major sell for the house, especially with all the kids, in the wintertime. Thankfully the weather outside was mild so we could enjoy the property.

Intimate wedding

Everyone that we worked with was so professional and understanding. We were able to view the property a couple times with no problems. Check in and out was super easily and we were accommodated for everything we needed to have the perfect weekend. The house was perfect to fit everyone and there was plenty of room no matter where we were in the house. The extra dishes and vases were handy as we needed a bit more than we brought! It was perfect for our intimate wedding and both the house and ceremony space were beautiful. Everywhere was cleaned off and ready for us to use. I would absolutely recommend checking out this space because it has so much to offer and the hosts are fantastic!

Family Reunion

Kilbuck Creek is amazing. The place is beautiful and the staff is driven by customer care. Our family reunion was everything we wanted it to be and we are already looking at dates for next year. We will be back. The comment I kept hearing from my family was "This place has everything we need." It's clean, has plenty of space, and has a special feeling about it. The whole experience went beyond our expectations and we now have memories for a lifetime.

Great spot for a multigenerational family gathering

This was our 3rd time staying at Kilbuck Creek and we will be back again! So much to do for all ages. Of course the pool is the center of activity, but the grounds give everyone space to spread out and play their favorite yard games. Kitchen is well stocked and awesome to be able to end the day with a bonfire and s’Mores. I would recommend kilbuck creek!

5 Star Property!

Cannot say enough wonderful things about this property and the people who run it! The communication from before our stay and all the way through was timely and thorough. Every single person involved with the property that we came into contact with was so friendly, helpful and kind. The house is amazing with so much room and so many areas to spread out or come together as a group. Thank you Kilbuck Creek for an amazing stay!

Spring Break with family and friends

Wow, what an unbelievable property. We thoroughly enjoyed our time at Kilbuck Creek. The house is massive and incredibly clean! The pool and pool house was a huge hit with our entire group. The grounds are also beautiful. We went on a nature hike and had a great time playing outside as well. Communication with the host was top notch. I would recommend Kilbuck creek in a heartbeat. I already have had people ask if we can do it again next year. Thank you so much!

Checks All the Boxes... Again!

We've been staying here for the past 3 years and the trip is something that our group has come to look forward to each year - kids and adults a like. The house and property are just impressive all the way around. The layout is great for having the whole group together, or splitting up and letting people do their own thing. The pool house alone is amazing and everything else on sight just adds to the enjoyment.

2nd times a charm!!

This is our 2nd year staying at Kilbuck! Every year for 10+ years, a group of us adult friends and family look for the perfect spot to escape reality for a bit. We are long time friends from Indiana, Illinois and Wisconsin, so Kilbuck is centrally located for all of us!! We all get together yearly to eat tons of food, swim, play games, nap, soak in the hot tub, play volleyball in the pool and enjoy each others company!! We finally found our perfect "forever" friends get away spot!!

About the host

Hosted by Branigan

Host profile image
Hi everyone!! I raised my 6 beautiful children in this home, so needless to say we have so many memories here! It seems like these kids of mine decided to grow up on me overnight and now have their own homes and their own children. So I decided to downsize into a more functional home, but I wasn't quite ready to let go of this property that we all loved so much.
So that is how our home and property became Kilbuck Creek!
Our company is a family run business and we absolutely love hosting everyone's events! To see peoples face light up when they see our place puts a smile on my face and in my heart!
