We loved our stay! The house is tucked away in the woods, making it a peaceful and relaxing retreat. It was very clean, the bed was comfortable, and the décor had a nice mix of old and modern touches that gave it character with every amenity needed. Such a lovely spot for a quiet getaway.

Lovely cabin for retreat in the woods

The cabin was clean and just as advertised. It was quiet and gave wonderful access to the creek and woods. The screened in porch was a favorite spot. Located within a 5 minute drive to Ricketts Glen to sew the beautiful falls. Would love to stay again. Highlt recommend.

Great place to stay.

Perfect place to stay for easy access to Ricketts Glen and surrounding hiking options. The home is well kept and had everything we needed. Camp fire pit outside was a big plus as well. Property manager was responsive and great to deal with. Whenever I make it back to the area I would definitely book it again.
