Cute Cabin
The cabin was very cute and clean. The location is perfect if you want to visit Ricketts Glenn for hiking. Only issue was it is much closer to a road than anticipated, so traffic is definitely heard in the mornings. Our wifi did not work and we were unable to find the router to reset as the instruction book said that was left on the counter. Last, there was a loud vibrating sound that woke us up in the morning

Beautiful all around!
We only had one short night at this cabin and it was not long enough! It's extremely cute and well kept and has everything you need. Plenty of space for multiple people although it was just the two of us and felt perfect. The fire pit is amazing we were out there all night. Extremely close to Ricketts Glen which is why we were there so it was incredibly convenient. We'd love to come back again! Hosts are very communicative and we're very helpful.

Fine rustic cabin
The cabin was fine with two exceptions. The traffic noise was a real problem for us. Also the kitchen area was just too dark. Some under cabinet lighting could provide an inexpensive and easily installed solution.

Nice, Quiet Getaway
Private, quiet, and relaxing. This property was an amazing backdrop for our anniversary. We were able to relax by the fire, have access to amazing food options, and hike at nearby Ricketts Glen State Park. All the amenities made it easy to get comfortable and the availability of firewood was extremely convenient, especially since it rained while we were there. Would definitely stay here again, even if it's just for a small getaway from everyday life.

About the host

Host profile image
Hi!
We are Jessica & Doug.
I (Jess) grew up right down the road from Ricketts Glen State Park - working at Lake Jean as a lifeguard through high school and college. I did not realize how lucky I was living so close to this little gem in PA! Once I moved away for work - I missed the area, the quiet, and the people. Once we bought a cabin to spend the weekends, we wanted to share it with others when we were not using it. We love to share the local area and great little places tucked away in Northeast PA!
