Fantastic!

Very clean and cozy cabin! The kitchen contained everything needed to easily cook and serve meals. Cleaners were plentiful as well as cleaning equipment, which I appreciate (In many rentals I cannot even find a single broom)! Wonderful view of the lake, very walkable neighborhood, lots of hiking trails nearby. Be sure to stop at the visitor's center for information on nearby attractions.

Peaceful escape

A much needed escape from busy city life. Pictures are very accurate to what the property looks like, so you can expect what you are paying for. Kathleen was extremely helpful and communicative during the entire booking, checkin, and check out process. You will not be disappointed in booking this property. As a hidden oasis, there is still plenty of things to explore in this town. I highly recommend staying here! We will be back!

Home Away From Home

Comfortable, cozy and full of charm, this cabin has all the little things you need. Rustic with a modern twist, it’s clean, warm (we stay in the winter), equipped with all the amenities of a home kitchen, and surprisingly spacious. The host is very accommodating and responsive. We have stayed here numerous times and are looking forward to another trip in 2025!

Great winter getaway

My nephew was looking for some nostalgia. When he was young we used to take him often to lakes up here in Pennsylvania during the winter season to go ice fishing.. He’s now 30 years old and asked to do this together for Christmas! He actually picked out this house. He wanted it to be like others we had stayed at. Cozy and cute. We had a fantastic time! The pictures shown are exactly what the house looks like. My husband and my nephew fished on and off throughout the day, I spent my days cooking and baking in the kitchen, spending some needed alone time, read and slept.. The house was well equipped, with what we needed.We would definitely stay here again.

We had an awesome time here!

The location was excellent. Just a short walk down to the lake. We had everything we needed in the kitchen, loved the fire pit where we made s'mores and had a relaxing evening. Plenty of sleeping accomodations. We would definitely do it again!

About the host

Hosted by Kathleen Smith

Host profile image
Bob and Kathy Smith, we are the owners of the cabin since 2010, Bob's Father purchased it a few years before us and put in hardwood floors and wood ceiling, new lighting fixtures, the sun room. We're always working to make it better!
4 night minimum stay in summer-time unless surrounding dates are booked and it's a 2-3 night availability. Just ask!

Why they chose this property

It's warm and cozy in the winter and refreshingly cool in the summer and just up the street from the lake, we have an outdoor firepit and comfly seating everywhere. You can see the lake from the deck. It's a very relaxing getaway.

What makes this property unique

Fresh mountain air that somehow relaxes you almost instantly. Fresh water to swim in at the lake, great fishing.
