Immaculate, lovely, well-maintained, renovated old inn that offers a fantastic breakfast. It is not real spa - no massage was available and the outside jacuzzi was offerred too late. The family is lovely and very busy. Bed is comfy and rooms up the narrow stairs feel a bit cramped.

We were so happy to come across Stratton Inn Creek when searching for places to stay in the area. We truly could not have asked for anything better. Although we never met our host in person, we felt genuinely welcomed — it was clear that every detail had been thoughtfully considered, and we felt thoroughly pampered throughout our stay. The contactless check-in process worked seamlessly. Our room (Frank) was cozy, comfortable, and beautifully prepared. The included breakfast was exceptional — truly one of the best we’ve had. We strongly recommend staying here and would definitely return.
