Wonderful stay - everything was perfect

Had a perfect stay at the Peaceful Escape in the Woods. It’s rare when everything is as expected and even more so when it exceeds expectations. We had a wonderful stay, everything was as advertised and everything was functional. Very clean and comfortable and the owners communication was superior and friendly. I gues the best review would be the answer to “would you stay there again” and our answer is a resounding YES!

Great un-plugged R&R retreat for PSU weekend

Heaven on Earth

This was our third time staying here and each time is even better than the last. We stayed for two whole weeks this time. Theresa is the best hostess I have ever dealt with. She even left us a gift to add to our enjoyment. The place is always clean and there is always some firewood for us to use. It is so quiet and peaceful. Such a beautiful place to go to get away from the Hussle and bussle.

Peaceful and quiet!

We had a great vacation at Jay and Theresa's property! We seen a lot of deer and even a few bear. The property is out there so there wasn't any phone service in the immediate area but they had a land line set up for emergencies. I enjoyed being unplugged for the week. There is a lot to do in the area if you enjoy the outdoors.

Bears in Paradise

Comfortable peace and quiet in a bit of wilderness. I have always wanted to see a bear in the wild and we got our wish 5 times over during our stay. Momma & 3 cubs from the back deck and Papa running down the road in front. The fire pit got quite the workout from us because we love camp cooking, but the kitchen is well equipped if you prefer indoor cooking. This area is some of the most beautiful in PA. Go relax and decompress. Trust me you need it. We certainly did.

Incredible.

We were so lucky to find this property to rent for the weekend. My husband ran in the Eastern States 100 miler race and we needed a spot that would help us crew him but also support my 3 very young daughters. This place was beautiful, supportive, clean and everything you could need. We felt so taken care of from the owners and they were so helpful during this stressful weekend for us. We would absolutely come back! Thank you so much for your thoughtfulness and support. Much love.

A Great Place to Get Away

It was perfect! Our family stayed for a week and it was just what we needed. The property has plenty of land and is near an abundance of parks, trails and hunting ground. Our dogs loved it! The house itself is well furnished and cozy. A perfect place to return and warm up after a day of hiking. If you like being outdoors or just want to get away from the world a bit and read by a fire, this is a good place to do it.

Peace and tranquility

We just left this cabin and I couldn't wait to leave a review. If you are looking for peace and quiet this is the place to go. It sits on top of a mountain with little or no vehicle activity. No one travels down the road it's off of unless they live around there. Neighbors are few and far between. There are no words to describe how quiet it is at night while sitting on the back deck or under the front porch in the morning. The fire pit is huge for rotating marshmallows or hot dogs etc. The inside is big and bright and beautiful with all the comforts of home. The indoor fire place is really nice for the cooler evenings. We felt right at home. Theresa is a wonderful hostess. She answered all my questions and was very accommodating for all our needs. She went over and beyond for us even before we were due to go there. We would highly recommend this home away from home for anyone. Plenty of room for families, friends or couples for a romantic getaway. All thanks and blessings for Theresa and her family. We will definitely be back.

Very peaceful getaway

Excellent place to stay if you are seeking some peace and quiet in the PA wilderness. There are some really lovely hiking trails and parks nearby, but we also had fun staying at the clean and nicely furnished cabin. It's fun to hang out there and enjoy the firepit while looking at the stars and all the beautiful scenery. It was also nice to be able to get away from the distractions of cell phones and internet (there is a landline phone for emergencies). Our GPS had no problem getting us there offline, but the directions provided were also very accurate. You shouldn't have any trouble finding the place despite the remote location. We did have a minor issue while staying there, which was the result of an honest mistake. I only bring this up to point out that Theresa and Jay went out of their way to compensate us for the inconvenience (above and beyond what we had requested). They also made sure to address our issue to make sure that it would not impact future renters. Everyone makes mistakes, but it meant a lot to me that worked so hard to make sure we were satisfied. They are very nice people, and eager to make your stay as enjoyable as possible. I would definitely recommend them if you are looking for a quiet getaway in the woods.

Our cabin holds a special place in our hearts, filled with years of family memories. It's our peaceful retreat and a source of pure joy, and we hope it brings you the same sense of tranquility and happiness during your stay.

Why they chose this property

We chose this location because it offers the perfect escape from the hustle and bustle of everyday life. Nestled in the woods, the cabin provides a peaceful and serene environment where you can truly disconnect and recharge. The tranquility of the area, combined with the beauty of nature, makes it a special retreat that always leaves us feeling refreshed and rejuvenated. We wanted a place where we could enjoy the slower pace of life, surrounded by the sounds of the forest, and we're so glad we found it here.

What makes this property unique

Our cabin is truly unique because it offers a rare combination of privacy, tranquility, and space. Set on 11 acres of secluded woodland, it provides complete peace away from the hustle and bustle, yet has all the comforts of home. With its cozy wood-burning fireplace, spacious deck, and room to accommodate larger groups, it’s perfect for families or friends looking to reconnect with nature. The cabin's ability to feel like a true escape while still offering modern amenities makes it a one-of-a-kind retreat that brings both relaxation and joy.
