Lovely property, great amenities!
We had a wonderful stay. There were kayaks, hot tub, all there to use on the river. The bedrooms were very nice. We enjoyed the environment. The fall leaves were gorgeous. What a gem!

The worst thing about this place are the ramshackle buildings you have to pass on the lane to the cottage, but that's not within Cindy's control. Aside from that it was peaceful and serene and the hot tub was great! Cindy responded to our request for an extra night immediately, as well as to all emails.

Really enjoyed this house. Great front deck and nice hot tub around the back. Lots to do in the area. Perfect kitchen table to sit around and play games. Only wish we could've stayed longer than three nights to spend more time on the deck.

Weekend Getaway
We were looking for a comfortable accommodation near a lake or stream for the family to relax for the weekend. This filed the bill. Cindy responded quickly and with determination when we had problems with the WiFi which turned out to be related more to insufficient signal from our T-Mobile service.

The perfect weekend stay
We stopped here for a few nights during a 10 day road trip and it was great! The cabin had plenty of comfortable beds and was stocked with essentials plus more. Cindy is a wonderful host and even provided a check in welcome bundle. The river was so relaxing to sit next to in the mornings and the area is quiet. We enjoyed the hot tub and sightseeing the local cavern, old Bedford village plus a few local restaurants. Wi-Fi was fast the AC was cold.

Central to Lots!
This property is in a great location making it easy to get to various sight seeing destinations in Central PA. The house was a good size for the 4 of us and having 3 separate bedrooms was key for our two teenagers. The house was comfortable and Cindy was an awesome host. Thanks again!

This home could use a good spring cleaning. Owner was easy to communicate to, but never responded to our issues after we left the property. View of river and mountains were very relaxing, home had all the necessary items you would need for your stay. Neighbors homes/property was run down, but it was quite. Reminded us of my grandfathers old hunting camp area.

The house was well supplied with soap, dish soap, nakins, paper towels, toliet paper. Plenty of firewood, fire pits amazing. Hot tub was wonderful!! The only bad thing I can say is the bedrooms were dark, not enough lighting. I would definitely stay here again.

We stayed for 4 nights at this property on the river and a short drive from town. It was very quiet and guys enjoyed fishing and all of us enjoyed the hot tub. There was a bit too much chlorine in the hot tub which was brought under control. The owner is very sweet and responsive to any issues or questions.
