Another Perfect Stay
Just wrapped up another perfect stay at our home away from home. We have stayed at this cottage so many times, it literally feels like a second home!! Although there are many houses nearby, it's situation makes you feel like you are in your own private oasis. An easy walk to Knobel's amusement park makes this the absolute best place to stay if you are planning to spend some time there. The layout of the cottage is fantastic with an open floor layout between the kitchen and living room which affords spacious areas for your entire party without feeling crowded. The bedrooms give each part of the party privacy with very little, if any, noise carrying between them. I cannot recommend this cottage enough. My family starts counting the days until our return as we are walking out the door to leave. Don't hesitate to make this your home away from home when visiting Knoebel's or the surrounding areas.

Amazing Cottage
We have stayed at this cottage so many times I have lost count. We never stay anywhere else when visiting Elysburg. Steps from Knoebels and yet so peaceful. Coffee on the patio is the perfect beginning to our day. The cottage is wonderful - easily accommodates our family of between 6 to 8 adults. All the amenities of home and, quite frankly, we have stayed so often it actually feels like home!!! Already looking forward to our next visit in a few months. If you are looking for a fabulous place to stay when visiting Knoebels or Elysburg for any reason, look no further - I promise you will not be disappointed :)

Apples & Oranges
We recently got home from a family reunion at Steve's house (8 adults, 2 kids). Two years ago (2022) we rented a Knoebels cottage. There was no comparison. They're two totally different products, like apples & oranges. There are four specific areas we appreciated at Steve's house. Location: It's so close to the action, just a short walk into the park by the Black Diamond. Yet it's on a private drive and feels very secluded. No noisy neighbors. Layout: There's a large common room where we could hang out together. Our Knoebels cottage was 'boxy' and couldn't accommodate us well. Steve's house has a wonderful patio and picnic pavilion where we spent lots of time together. Comfort: All the furniture in Steve's house was 'real.' Like mattresses you'd want to have in your home, and comfy places to sit. All the flooring was recently upgraded. This was not the case in the Knoebels cottage. Convenience: Booking, paying for, and entering Steve's house was easy via Vrbo. Knoebels' system is clunky and needs an upgrade. Also, Steve's house is well stocked with everything you'll need to cook and enjoy your meals. We are big Knoebels fans, so we're not putting down their product. But you get what you pay for. In our case, we were happy to pay a little more to enjoy such a nice home. Looking forward to our next visit!

Perfect stay (literally steps) to Knoebels
Easy check-in, clean living space, safe environment, and shockingly close to the park. House has pretty much everything you need for your stay - pots, pans, plates, utensils, small appliances, etc. Definitely recommend!

Another fabulous stay at the cottage
We have stayed at this cottage so many times, it feels like home! We come up to Elysburg twice a year (once for Knoebels and once for the Covered Bridge Festival) and would not even consider staying anywhere else. Steve is fantastic to deal with - very responsive to all communications. The cottage itself is wonderful - all the amenities of home. And the back yard area is amazing with the pavilion for outdoor dining or just relaxing and visiting. There is also a patio right off the back door for morning coffee rain or shine. I highly recommend this cottage - you will not be disappointed!!!!

Absolute Perfection
We have stayed at this cottage so many times it is literally like our second home. We are NEVER disappointed. It has so much going for it, I could write a novel - its proximity to Knoebel's, the pavillion for dining or just hanging out, the back porch/patio for morning coffee, the home itself which is so inviting and comfortable. I can honestly say that we enjoy staying at the cottage as much as going to the park. It's wonderful after a day at the park to come home to such luxury. Our host, Steve, is wonderful. Always a pleasure to deal with him. We have never had a single issue when staying at the cottage but I can guarantee if there was a problem, his response would be rapid and it would be resolved as soon as possible. I very highly recommend this cottage - you will love it as much as my family does!!

Best way to explore Knoebels park
The cabin had everything we needed and super close and convenient to the park. It was a 2 min walk to the rides and food inside the park. When the rides closed we had a great time sitting out back with a fire and hanging out.

About the host

Hosted by Steve

Host profile image
My mother and father started to build this home in 1969. Each year we would add on and improve the property until my mother and father were aging and began to really enjoy the property in the mid to late 1980's. I grew up helping my parents build this cottage, and to this day, still enjoy every moment I spend at the cottage. My family enjoys the cottage with me as well. We continually improve our cottage each year. We truly love this cottage and hope you enjoy your stay!

Please remember this is a family-owned cottage. Enjoy your stay at our cottage and please take care of this property as if it was your own cottage. Please respect our cottage and our rules. Thank you.

What makes this property unique

Beautiful private cottage located literally right next to Knoebels Amusement Park. Walk to the park (3-5 min at best) with the children, have some great fun and stroll back to the cottage for a quick rest. Sit under the large pavilion with the three handmade swings, listen to your favorite music with the outdoor surround sound, and eat with the family on the extremely large handmade double picnic tables. Enjoy the fire pit!! Hear and listen to the sounds of "Ole Smokey".
