We loved our stay! The house is tucked away in the woods, making it a peaceful and relaxing retreat. It was very clean, the bed was comfortable, and the décor had a nice mix of old and modern touches that gave it character with every amenity needed. Such a lovely spot for a quiet getaway.

Lovely cabin for retreat in the woods

The cabin was clean and just as advertised. It was quiet and gave wonderful access to the creek and woods. The screened in porch was a favorite spot. Located within a 5 minute drive to Ricketts Glen to sew the beautiful falls. Would love to stay again. Highlt recommend.

Great Property

We had such a great time at this property. My daughter thoroughly enjoyed being able to "disappear" to her own private island in the backyard. The house had everything we needed and then some. The queen bed upstairs is definitely for those that enjoy a firmer mattress, but besides that, everything was AMAZING. Oh, and there's a guy just up the street selling firewood (with the large wooden teepee) who's super friendly and has an adorable pup. We will definitely book another stay next time we're in the area.

Cutest Little Cabin!

This place was adorable inside and out! I loved the décor. Everything was cute and comfortable. My absolute favorite was the screened in porch. We sat outside on the comfortable furniture with pillows and blankets as the sun set. We could hear the sound of the creek, many birds, and the wind in the trees. It would have been perfection if the traffic on the road outside wasn't so loud. However, the property was totally hidden from the road or any other houses. Very private and in the middle of nature. We had a wonderful time at Ricketts Glen State Park which was very close. Owner was very friendly!
