Ricketts Glen Getaway
This was the perfect place to stay for hiking in Ricketts Glen State Park. It's remote -- not a lot of options for dining out but you're practically in the park and the area is spectacularly beautiful

Wonderful stay
We really enjoyed our stay! The cabin is very secluded and private. Everything was clean and comfortable. Just be aware, there is no a/c in the bedrooms, although fans are provided. There is a mini-split unit for the living space. The weather was fairly cool when we were there so it did not impact our stay very much, but if it was hot, it would not have turned out so well. Host was wonderful and very responsive. She checked in with us after the first night just to be sure everything was okay. Would recommend.

Quiet and peaceful
This spot provides easy access to the incredible Rickett's Glen and is a lovely private home on a quiet dirt road. The kitchen had plenty of dishes and cookware and the house accommodated our whole family nicely. We enjoyed sitting out on the deck and taking in the forest sounds.

Great location for Rickett's Glenn trip
Very nice property. Communication with host was wonderful. Cabin is well appointed. Games were appreciated. Only 10 minutes to Rickett's Glenn. There was some leaking from skylights, but nothing terrible, and the host did let us know of this when we arrived. We musunderstood the listing so didn't realize there was additional fee for towels and sheets, but host made us aware of the charges beforehand so we just brought our own. own.sheets, but

Cozy Home Close to Ricketts Glen
We enjoyed our stay at this property just a mile away from friends staying at another VRBO. The home was roomy for our guests and the beds were comfortable. The amenities available were all as described in the listing. The drive to Ricketts Glen State Park was less than 10 min. There is a super cute ice cream shop that is a must visit just down the street. Be aware that you do need to request towels and linens for an additional charge, which we did and worked out great but did not realize this until after we booked. Great property, great area! Thank you!

Great spot close to the waterfall hike!
Quiet, peaceful and pretty much everything you want if you are trying to shut down busy life for a few days. My family and I booked two nights here before our stay at camelback resort. This cabin is right down the road from the trailhead at Ricketts Glen waterfall hike and about 10 minutes outside of a small town where you can grab breakfast, dinner and drinks. Very relaxing. Recommend and we will book next year.

Good memories
My father and friends built this cabin and I have many happy memories from childhood stays there (and so I also have a very biased perspective). The current owners have done a nice job with refreshing the place and I am glad that others can enjoy it.

About the host

Hosted by Jessica

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!

Why they chose this property

Red Fox Hollow used to be a hunting camp from the 1970's.
We rehabbed the property after purchasing it to make it a great cabin for families and friends to get together in an open space.
