Opening Weekend

This is my second time here with my daughter to hunt a family farm with 15 minutes of Vista. We alway have such a great time bonding for a long weekend. Our first stay she got her first deer, this stay she got a buck and a doe. We will continue to book here year after year, a lot of great memories.

Vista Lodge

The property is nice and mostly clean. The heater in the bedroom made an annoying noise while running so we turned it off every night so we could sleep. Other than that, I would recommend the property to others.

Beautiful cabin's

My friend and I enjoyed our stay at Vista Lodge in Benton, PA. Communication from the start when I made our reservation's throughout our stay was prompt and helpful. Cabin's were very clean and well stocked with all our needs fulfilled. We went to Ricketts Glen Friday afternoon and most of the day on Saturday. Just a short drive away from our cabin at Vista Lodge. Restaurants in the area were delicious, affordable and not a chain restaurant in the area. We enjoyed Westover Cafe, Kozy Korner, and Old Filling Station. And a couple ice cream spots as well. Thank you for a relaxing enjoyable weekend.

Perfect for a get-away

My son & I recently stayed at one of the little cabins & found our experience to be ideal. The property was well maintained, clean, easy to get to from Rickett’s Glen & overall an extremely enjoyable place to stay. Both my son & I felt comfortable & refreshed after our trip.

Great place!

We had a great time, close to state hiking parks which is why we were there. Close to supermarkets and restaurants. We even had a fire in the fire pit which we enjoyed! The mattress was foam which we thoroughly enjoyed and the hot water for showers was great. The futon was not the greatest but with a few pillows it was fine. Will definitely come back!!

Perfect

We couldn’t have had a nicer stay. We were one of 10 couples, all friends, staying at the cabins. We took over the place and hiked Ricketts Glen, had a bonfire each night, and ate and drank to our hearts’ content. Looking forward to returning.

Cute, clean cabins

We stayed here while hiking at Rickett’s Glen State Park and World’s End State Park. It was very clean, quiet, and nice. The kitchen was a bit sparsely stocked but we had everything we needed, just not many extras which was fine. I would definitely recommend staying here.
