Cute

My family loved this little cabin, even more than a hotel! It was clean and cozy. We loved the outside area as well. We played some corn hole and had a fire in the fire pit, roasted marshmallows and made s'mores. We will definitely stay again.

This place was absolutely perfect! It was very cozy and very clean. Everything is just as shown in the pictures. Check in and out was simple (just show up and enter with code that was emailed and leave when your stay is over). We enjoyed our stay here so much! Thank you for making our stay amazing!

Super nice

What a great place to stay. Clean and convenient to the hiking trails near by. Manager was really nice and helpful. Patio area was nice. Definitely wish i wouldve gotten firewood for a fire as their wood was out but no biggie. I would definitely stay here again.

Cute little cabin

The cabin was very cute and cozy. Only issue is the Wifi is horrible there ! You don’t get your check in code until an hour before check in and then the Wi-Fi was horrible so it took me awhile to get the message that had the code. Maybe that’s the hint to just relax and unplug in this beautiful place.

Great little gem

What a great little place to stay if you're in the area for some hiking! The check in process was easy and it has all the amenities you could need. The place was very clean, warm and welcoming. We had a fire one night on the patio and the bin was ready with wood, kindling and a lighter. We would definitely stay here again!

Bed bugs

We booked for 3 Nights but only stayed 1 night due to bed bugs. I kindly asked for the remaining trip to be refunded and we were offered another cabin after we noticed the bed was loaded with bed bugs. I asked why would you want to infect another cabin🤦🏻‍♀️ We stayed in cabin 5. Upon leaving we had to disinfect all our things and car. Our vacation was cut short and we were never refunded for the lost time. We also received multiple bites on us. I took pictures and videos. The woman who came to check the room even agreed they were bed bugs. I had to contact an attorney. Save yourself the time and money stay elsewhere..

Rickett's Glen State Park Escape

This property is outstanding. The unit has everything you need, is very clean and just a short drive to Rickett's Glen State Park. The picnic are with covered patio and fire pit is a wonderful touch. The owners were great to work with as we had to cancel our original dates due to a medical emergency.

I was amazed by how roomy it was, it was perfect! I loved everything about our “little house”

We had an amazing time visiting! Everything was perfect and so beautiful! Very affordable! The only thing that would have made it more pleasurable would have been more local places to eat/stay open later. I know a lot of places closed down because of Covid and I feel bad for folks that had to close up shop

Awesome Property

We stayed for 5 nights in June. The property, both inside and out, was immaculate. The bed and futon bed were both comfortable. The kitchen had granite counters which was a nice touch. The bathroom was very nicely designed. Traffic noise was not an issue at all. Very quiet! The entire place was very easy to keep clean due to the faux wood vinyl flooring. Even though we had two people staying in the tiny home, the place would easily entertain 4 people very comfortably. I would recommend staying at this property if you are staying anywhere near there.

Great Spot for Ricketts Glen

We had a great time staying at this property. It was an easy 15-20 minute drive to Ricketts Glen to hike and kayak. The house was great for everything we needed. The pavilion is really nice with tables, lighting, fire pit, grill and cornhole boards. We enjoyed sitting outside on the front porch.
