Guys fishing trip

Great location, great views, great property. The cabin was clean and equipped with everything you need to stay. Local store is only a couple miles up the road if you need anything else. Fishing was excellent. Saw lots of wildlife while at the house and kayaking. Great trip. Thanks Dana

Perfect Location

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The location was perfect for our family weekend getaway! Cabin was clean, spacious and accommodated our family very well. We especially loved that Pine Creek was in our backyard. My dad enjoyed fishing and the kids enjoyed tubing. We went for many walks on the rail trail. Thank you Dana for all your hard work, and for sharing your cottage with us. Can’t wait to come back!

Perfect Location

We loved our time at Ramsey Retreat. We biked both ways on the Pine Creek Rail Trail right out of the driveway. It was fun watching others cross “our” bridge. Our dog loved the yard and walking the trails or in the neighborhood. The garage was very convenient for storing bikes. We were lucky to have warm temps so we spent our time on the screened in porch and ate meals on the deck. We were very comfortable there.

Memorial Day Weekend

Had a great relaxing, holiday weekend! The cabin was clean and spacious. Love how close it is to go walking or biking on rail trail! Saw eagles, snakes, fish, muskrat and an otter! Enjoyed campfires and fishing and kayaking all weekend! Our dog Dixie enjoyed swimming in the creek too!

Clean, Comfortable, Cozy. We had a perfect week, the weather was great. Home remarkably familiar to a cottage we had years ago. We totally enjoyed our stay. TV was on approximately 1 hr the entire stay. Wish we would have booked more days. Steps were tough for us, were in our mid 70's ...but Dana made it clear before we actually booked. We would book again, it was absolutely wonderful!!!

Rainy Great Fun Weekend

The cabin was perfect for the 5 of us. Warm, cozy, plenty of room to play games and relax. Even though it rained 90% of the time, we had a great time. Walked the 2 mile loop around the village and attended the Sawdust Festival Sat. Our 2 meals at the Pine Creek Inn was very good. Our pups woke us up on our last day at 4:30 a.m. Turned lights on porch and a black bear was visiting for awhile. Definitely will stay again during a different time of year to be outside more.

Someplace like home

If your looking to slow it down this may be the place! Excellent house, great location for biking and hiking and best of all for us a huge yard out two four footed friends could run around in to their hearts content. Beautiful location yet a decent number of shops and restaurants close enough. Nice game room in the basement and we spent a lot of time in the screened in back porch. We will be back. Only downside was that the area seemed heavy in ticks! The little bitty ones that are so small they are hard to see or feel so be forewarned on that one dog wise. Great property!!

Will Be Back Next Year!

We loved our stay. Friday it rained all day but we were able to get a 3 mile walk on the trail. We enjoyed just hanging out at the house and watching football, reading and playing games. Saturday we hiked 6 miles and then drove up to Leonard Harrison State Park and hiked the Turkey path. We will be back next year!!

Fantastic property on Pine Creek

Really enjoyed our stay on Pine Creek. I booked a week and a half, and could have stayed for a month. I love how mindful of light pollution the owners are- the lights are on sensors and only as bright as they need to be outside- so that the star gazing is top notch. The lawn is golf-course-green. The cottage sleeps a max of 8- we had 6 people stay one night, and at no time did it feel cramped. The deck is fantastic, and the local folks we encountered were quite friendly. It's also on the bike path, so no need to drive to a trailhead. There's even hiking right across the bridge in the National Forest. Hotel Manor is about 19 miles north and a great spot for lunch on the Creek. And the cottage is close enough to Jersey Shore - about 8 miles- that you can go to "town" for food and supplies easily.

Wonderful!

We had a wonderful stay at Ramsey Retreat. This property is beautifully kept with a very well stocked kitchen. We loved finding towels for the creek and designated towels for the dog. The water was low but we were still able to get in some fishing, kayaking and just overall family time. Evenings by the fire were relaxing and perfect for viewing the meteor shower happening while we were there! We will absolutely be back!

Ramsey Retreat Rocks

This is a beautiful Pine Creek property. It is right on the creek and the rails-to-trails path so it makes taking advantage of the local recreation attractions very easy. Or you can just hang around and enjoy the nature of the creek and state forest across the water. Or play one of the many games that come with the rental. It's also well stocked in the kitchen and rest of the house. I would go back in a heartbeat.

About the host

Hosted by Dana Williams

Pine Creek is a very special place for us. I was born nearby, was raised in Louisiana and now live in Texas. When I was growing up we traveled back to PA each year to enjoy Pine Creek with family and friends. It is where some of my best memories have been made. Now, I travel there for at least a month out of each year with my own children who love it as much as we do. It is a place where our family comes together and stays connected. It is a place where our kids and their cousins can play outside and enjoy nature. It is our little slice of heaven.

Why they chose this property

We have several family members with property in Ramsey Village. We visit regularly and have always wanted a property here that we can pass down through the generations. This property offers so much with its large lot size, beautiful fruit trees, 400+feet of creek frontage and close proximity to the rail trail.
