During the Hoover era at Rapidan Camp, Creel Cabin housed the White House physician, Joel T. Boone. Dr. Boone was at Rapidan every time the president was there. He said of Rapidan, "It was one of the most relaxing places that I have ever known." Today, the Creel houses volunteer caretakers during the season. The President's secretary stayed here when he was in the Camp.
