The cottage as seen from the road. The handicapped ramp is great for everyone!
Apart from the ramp there are two staircases - one sheltered underneath.
A great space to hang-out, picnic and play - even when it drizzles!
This was the cottage in the fall of 2012 - it is all new!

About this property

‘Topl’ In’ Creek-Side Cottage

Weekends or weeks, work retreat or romantic refuge, ‘Topl’ In’ offers new conveniences in a natural setting. The ‘Topl’ In’ is a newly-built family owned Cottage that rests in a deep valley formed by the fresh-water stream called Big Roaring Creek. Its location in Mayberry Township offers visitors quiet seclusion with easy access to cultural amenities. This is a perfect getaway – a place where you can breathe in deep and break out of life’s daily obligations. We built this place to enjoy ourselves and we’re sharing its character and conveniences just enough to help fund its upkeep.

The cottage is conveniently located just five miles from Knoebel’s Amusement Resort in Elysburg, PA, and seven miles from nearby Danville, PA. State Parks, like R.B Winter (Half-Way Dam), Hickory Run and Rickett's Glen are short drives away. Shikellamy State Park and Marina is minutes away so bring your boat! The Bloomsburg Fairgrounds offer events year-round. Several quality gun clubs, including the Valley Gun and Country Club in Elysburg is also nearby. Golf courses are plentiful and the Buckhorn Mall and surrounding shopping area is close. Historical enthusiasts can explore nearby covered bridges, take a tour in an Anthracite coal mine, visit the historic Jim Thorpe or just enjoy the incredible scenic surroundings.

But you need not get in the car again once you’re there! Brings some old sneakers that you can wear in the creek – find a spot to take a dip, cast your fishing line or catch minnows and crayfish with your kids. It’s a great place for biking! You can hike the local wooded hillsides and huddle around the fire-pit as the evening closes into a crisp night. Sleep to the sound of crickets and rushing water.

The gas-fireplace in the center of the Great-room can be just as enjoyable as the fire-pit outside. A fully equipped kitchen adjacent a large dining area and two living-room spaces brings family members together and still provides room to escape. The Cottage is handicapped accessible with an exterior ramp up to the main level and an easily navigable full-bathroom. There are two half-baths. Even if its drizzling outside you can breath the fresh air and do some grilling on the giant patio on the ground level.

The cottage has three bedrooms a full bath with a low-step shower and two half-baths. One of the half-baths is in the laundry/utility room.

This is rental property provides family vacation accommodations; it cannot be used as an event destination or site for a large gathering.

Great property and owners!
We really enjoyed this property. It was quiet and secluded yet quick and easy access to Geisinger Medical Center, where a family member was having surgery. There are a lot of unique things in the area to check out if you have time but the property is great for just spending family time together with plenty of room for everyone.

Peaceful weekend by the creek
Our family of 7 stayed here in search of a relaxing and restful mini vacation. We were amazed at the quiet beauty of the location! The cottage was large enough for our family and well stocked with everything we needed. It was clean upon arrival with fresh flowers and cookies on the counter. We took advantage of exploring the creek, relaxing on the deck and by the pit fire, and enjoying the beautiful fall colors. The owners/managers were friendly, helpful and easy to work with. Our family does a lot of camping and cabin getaway; this location and accommodation was by far our favorite. We will definitely be back!

We enjoyed our trip. We loved the creek! Great for the kids 2, 4, &6 years old. Very relaxing and enjoyable. No internet or cell service which was a bit of a pain but good for those who want to get away.

Absolutely wonderful!
This house is located perfectly on a gorgeous creek that is perfect for exploring, catching crayfish, and even tubing in some spots. The hosts were so accommodating, responsive, and kind. The house is open, clean, and comfortable. We loved the basketball hoop, fire pit, and the swing too. Thanks so much!

Always perfect!
I can't say enough about this cottage! We are repeat renters and will be back for more. Apart from bringing your own food you do not need anything else. The property is clean and well equipped, and truly your home away from home! Donna doesn't miss a beat, and honestly is one of the best hostesses I have ever dealt with...from the fresh flowers in every room, to the homemade cookies as a welcome gift! This family really takes pride in their home and hospitality! I would highly recommend this rental...just not when I want to stay! LOL! Colleen B. & Family

Great place to decompress (and have fun).
A great location, very quiet. Great communication with owners. Only minutes from Knoebels and any store needed for supplies. The cottage was fully equipped if we decided to not explore. There were 5 of us in total and room for everyone. Highly recommended.

Work Trip
The place was very clean and very quiet, great for a family trip in the country. Not too far away from several places to eat and shop for groceries. They have a binder in the kitchen with great directions to almost anywhere you want to go. Nice deck overlooking the creek there, we would stay there again if we are in the area.

A lovely home in a beautiful wooded creekside setting. I will absolutely stay here again.
I encourage anyone contemplating renting this home to do so with full confidence. As the owners indicate, the home is of new construction and in excellent condition. As many rental homes are often somewhat sterile in decor, the home is nicely decorated which made us feel as though we were staying with a dear family member. The furnishings are in good condition and very comfortable. I stayed in this home for three weeks since I live far away and have relatives in the area. I enjoyed every minute of my three week stay. The drive to and from the grocery store, restaurants and Knoebels etc. takes you through a bucolic setting no matter which road you choose. My niece's children visited for a few days and found playing in the creek even more fun than Knoebels Amusement Park which is also a nice time and nearby. My dealings with the owners was very pleasant and I found them to be accommodating and thoughtful. I plan to return to the area again and I look forward to my next stay at TOPOL, a wonderful creekside cottage in a peaceful setting that felt like "home."

Very Enjoyable Stay
The property and creek-side ambiance were wonderful for our family. The grandchildren had a ball "messing around" in the creek. The swing was a big hit, as well as our campfire sessions roasting hotdogs and marshmallows.We had a great experience at the Red Deer Farm. Any future renters should make this a "must do" part of their stay. Donna was very helpful with any questions we had. She provided firewood, and even had fresh flower arrangements throughout the house.

Three siblings share this great piece of property. Two live locally.

Why they chose this property

Our parents bought our cottage early on in their marriage and our father, single-handedly constructed the building that was ruined in the 2011 flood. Our father is gone now too but the memories we made and still make there will always be with us.

What makes this property unique

Peace.
