About this property

Falls Edge Farm Cottage

Leave the city behind for the serenity of this 2-bed, 2-bath cottage boasts a large full kitchen and is nestled on a 34 private acre Alpaca Farm so you can relax surrounded by the serene forest. Ricketts Glen State Park is just 1.6 miles away, boasting scenic waterfalls, countless hiking trails and endless wildlife. Take a day trip to Knoebels Amusement Park, peruse the on-site alpaca shop, lounge in the hammock, enjoy a campfire or go swimming, kayaking, fishing or boating at Lake Jean.
Cottage is in the middle of 34 acres of wooded area. The owner is on the premises. You cannot see neighbors from the cottage. Secluded in the woods. I do need to just be clear about the internet - we are in the mountains and although we provide the best internet service available here, we do not guarantee the speed or reliability of the internet.
You will need a car. There is no Food delivery, or Uber here. The closest taxi will cost $150.00 just to pick you up.

Delightful!
We enjoyed our stay at Falls Edge so much! We spent 2 days hiking at Ricketts Glen so the location was perfect. The alpacas, chickens, ducks & kitties provided entertainment while at the house. The hosts were also extremely nice and fun to talk to. Highly recommend this place.

Clean, comfy and quiet
The house was beautiful. Everything looked brand new. It’s was very comfortable, quiet, and well stocked. We cooked all of our meals there including using the grill. We had a really great time spending a few days there with our friends. I definitely recommend this property.

Overall, it's a pleasant stay and the owners were very friendly. The place was very quite located in the forest and within short distance to the Ricketts Glen Park. The house is very clean and well maintained. The only thing I can complain about is that the internet is satellite in this remote area and speed is a bit slow, but the Dish TV signal is quite good.

About the host

Hosted by Elaine DiGirolamo

Host profile image
We moved onto this property in 2008 and owned and operated a full scale Alpaca farm along with dogs, cats and chickens and a Full scale fiber processing mill and Boutique right here on the property. In 2010 We had the Cottage/in-law suite added onto the main house. Although we no longer have a working farm and mill we still have chickens, cats dogs and the boutique. We now host a wide verity of natural wildlife from deer, turkey, chipmunks, opossums, fox, wolf, coyote and occasionally we spot bear.

Why they chose this property

Life can be hectic and sometimes you just need space! We lived in the outskirts of Philadelphia for all our lives and just wanted to get out of the hustle of the daily grind. We both love being in the woods and figured Why not. Our little cottage is quite and remote. Our entrance driveway is off the beaten path into the woods and during your stay you can just relax and enjoy nature. The Owners are on premises should you need anything but otherwise you are left alone.

What makes this property unique

When we first walked this property we fell in love with the area and the fact that we could place the house off the road and be remote. Just a trip to our mail box is a workout. From our house out the driveway and up the road on the left to the stop sign and back is a 3.5 mile walk which is peaceful and the view of the mountain on the return is beautiful.
