Everything we were looking for!
Group of 6 friends that meet each year. This was our first time at this property and we are already checking dates to rebook for next year! We found everything as advertised in this listing. Beautiful setting, super clean and spacious property.

Beauty, Quiet, Solitude
Tucked away in the woods on top of a hill at the end of a long dirt driveway, this house was just what we were looking for. Close to Ricketts Glen State Park where we took three great hikes, including opening day of the falls trail, not to be missed. Also drove out to World’s End SP, another beautiful place to hike with very different scenery from Ricketts. Dave, the owner, was very responsive to a couple of issues we had at the start of our stay. The fireplace was GREAT. A really strong draft and the brickwork inside it made the room quite cozy, unlike other fireplaces that actually suck the heat out of the room. Very easy to get going. Nicely equipped kitchen and a lot of room everywhere. A little more furniture and some throw rugs, especially in the bedrooms, would be nice. But the location more than makes up for it. Truly enjoyed our stay.

A Trip We Will Never Forget
What can I say? My group and I traveled over six hours and we had the freedom to pick the house that seemed to have everything we wanted. This location and its owner blew past all of those expectations and gave us a stay we will never forget. The house is set back in the middle of the woods such that you can’t see anything but trees or hear anything but wildlife. It was so quiet and peaceful; I’ve never slept better. While the driveway does ascend into the woods, I would only imagine this to be a problem with a sedan driving after snowfall; any other car any other time would be fine. The house itself is a spacious arched cabin with beautiful hardwood all around - with plenty of room for doing anything you would want to do. As some reviewers have noted, there isn’t much furniture (but what was there was comfortable). However, this means that the walls aren’t over-cluttered with knick-knacks and you can make the space what you want it to be – which is the point of a vacation. My group used the enormous kitchen table to put our phones and computers away and play board games together. The kitchen is very well stocked with any cooking utensils you would need; it is so spacious and inviting that we stuffed ourselves at every meal and enjoyed cooking together. Out group also enjoyed the cabin as a staging ground for the endless hikes in the area. If you are a hiker of any interest or ability, this is a cabin you need to put on your list. Our group hiked on two consecutive days. The highlight was the incredible Ricketts Glen Waterfall Loop. This was the single best waterfall hike I’ve ever done and I’ve been on waterfall hikes all over the country. It’s not the size of any one waterfall, it’s the almost continuous series of waterfalls throughout the entire hike. My group was skeptical of us driving over six hours to stay at this cabin for this hike but I was a hero after they completed it! Finally, I have to say something about the owner, Dave. He took the time to speak with me by phone before the hike to make sure I would feel at home in the cabin. He wanted to make sure our group enjoyed themselves and told us to text him if we needed anything at all. Finally, one of our group mistakenly left behind their laptop in the cabin. Dave insisted on mailing the laptop back with ultra-quick shipping and refused compensation for his efforts and the cost of shipping. What can you say about a host like that? Reserve this home. You won't be sorry.

Great house for a quiet get away!
The house is in the mountains away from everyone. It doesn't have much furniture but has plenty of room. The driveway can be tough to drive up. It isn't paved and is steep. The kitchen is so well stocked with anything you need. The house has plenty of towels, sheets, detergent, soap, and basically anything else you will need. We had a blast there hanging out, enjoying the outdoors, and watching for animals.

Great place in the quiet woods!
Our spacious cabin was certainly the best place we’ve stayed at as a growing family! It was both rustic and modern. The limited furniture suited us fine since we had 4 grandchildren ranging from 10 to 6 yrs old who loved the abundant hardwood floors. Located in the woods on top of a hill we felt like we had the area all to ourselves (I think we did!!). The kitchen was fantastic and used by our family of 10. Our host, Dave, was considerate and caring, and let us know if we needed anything (which we didn’t), to just ask. If we are ever in the area again, this is where we’d like to stay!

Wonderful and very large cabin/house.
It was larger than expected (2 story, large living room and open kitchen/dining) and the host is very accessible and helpful. He provided wood, the house has cooking amenities (plates, utensils, pots, etc.), full stove, grill outside, outdoor fireplace (we used when it rained) and fire ring. If you are a foodie and need your favorite pan bring it, but we didn't need anything. A few minutes from Rickets Glen hiking trails and lake for swimming. Has a nice grass area and the driveway was not hard to enter as someone else mentioned. Rock/dirt road at the end but we had front wheel drive minivan and small suv's, no issue. A lowered Honda Accord may struggle with clearance but any normal car/suv/truck, no issue. We brought fans as it was a hot muggy week and the house has a whole house fan. It's in trees so deet/OFF recommended, but you are in the woods so to be expected. Great place we hope to rent again.

Guys getaway
Everybody loved the place. The pavilion with the fireplace is where we spent the majority of our time. Good golf in the area including a fantastic meal at Mill Race club house. Bill’s bike barn in Berwick is also very interesting.

Peace and quiet
The house was so roomy and the land was great for kids to run around in. As stated in other reviews, there is definitely limited furniture/furnishings throughout the house but we came to hike and get away so not a whole lot more was needed. Very conveniently located to Ricketts Glen. The kids loved seeing deer all over the property in the morning and evening. We used the outdoor fireplace non-stop. Great weekend with family and friends!

Spacious Getaway Cabin
It was a gorgeous, spacious, secluded home. We like the outdoor pavilion with fire place and grills. There was a good amount of space to play outdoor games. It was a great Kitchen to cook in, and good size table for all 10 of us. Big nice open space in the living room. Liked the deck and balcony, had very comfy porch furniture. Wish we could have stayed longer. Would definitely go back and tell people to go there. It just could have used Air conditioning, towel racks in the bathrooms, and some better cookware. Hard to get up to the house, hard to do if you don’t have a truck.

Left 2 days early
Looks great in photos, but house was damp and musty. Kitchen table and island were dirty. Coffee maker's basket hadn't been cleaned in some time. Toilet bowel clean, but not on back surface. Didn't have a dehumidifier. On day 3, 2nd floor ceiling was leaking and water puddled on the floor in hallway. Discovered mold and previous water damage that we didn't notice before. Contacted manager, who said he'd look into it after we left. Informed him that we wanted to leave 2 days early, and he came over the next day. We left 2 days early. He refunded us for 1 day and the cleaning fee. Disappointing.

Ardis, thank you for taking the time to leave your review. As you can see, yours is the first negative review this property has received - we hate that your experience was so disappointing. We've shared your feedback with the homeowners and wanted to pass along the following: - We've never received this type of feedback on cleanliness, but we appreciate you letting us know about your concerns; we'll double down on cleaning procedures so future guests have nothing to worry about. - We're also sorry about any extra moisture you experienced in the home; since there is no plumbing in the second-floor ceiling, the owners believe this was condensation from the extreme ranges in temperature during your stay. They'll continue to investigate so this is not an issue going forward. We truly want to provide everyone with a five-star experience, and we hope the measures we took helped to make things right. Thanks again for your feedback and helping us improve.

Remote & Relaxing
Property is as advertised. Hard to fully capture how remote this property is, but you feel very tucked away in the woods. House is, as other reviewers have commented, larger than conveyed in the photos. Owner is friendly and easy to communicate with - was willing to let us check-in early and stay-later if needed. All in a ll a great experience - would recommend.

Awesome Getaway
We had a wonderful weekend at this property! There was so much space, inside and outside, so there was plenty of room for all. The proximity to Ricketts Glen was so convenient as well. David was great about communicating, and made sure that we had everything we needed. We look forward to staying there again!

The house is even larger than you'd think from the photos. Great outdoor dining opportunities complement an enormous kitchen. The proximity to the trails in Ricketts Glen is convenient, about 20 minutes.

Family time
Awesome. We found the location to be perfect; the cabin was clean and comfortable and easily handled the 9 of us during meal time, fun time, and evening and morning rituals; the view sitting on the deck or at the camp fire site was relaxing and the clearing was made for star gazing! It seemed to be a well maintained and cared for property. It was a pleasure meeting David and getting directions and then touring the cabin to show us where everything thing was located. Our communication was spot on. We hope to revisit in the fall when the weather is just a tad cooler and seeing some fall color. Only recommendation - take an ax or bow saw to assist in cutting fire wood. We easily managed without but having the tools would've made it easier - there's plenty of burnable wood throughout the land.

Great home for a family gathering!
Our group included 10 adults and two toddlers, and we all were very comfortable. The kitchen was well stocked and the large dining room table allowed us to eat our meals together. Also, the open floor plan of the cabin allowed us to visit easily. We enjoyed sitting outside on the deck, and used the fire pit and outside pavilion for hours. We went over to hike at Ricketts Glen each day during our stay and the trip over was easy and we got to enjoy the trials and see the beautiful waterfalls. I would stay here again and would recommend this place to our friend and family. Your home was beautifu, well maintained and clean. Also, we loved that you provided fire wood. Thanks for sharing your home.

Beautiful secluded cabin
We rented this space for a friends surprise birthday party. Needless to say it was perfect. There was plenty of space for the 10 of us and the kitchen was fully stocked with pots, pans, utensils etc. which made packing very easy. On our second night there the gas tank ran out and we didn't have heat. I gave a quick phone call to David and within an hour there was someone there to fill the tank for us. I want to commend David for his service and for checking in on us to make sure everything was ok. I would 10/10 stay here again. The cabin was 10-15 minutes drive to a store and gas station if there happened to be something you forgot. That being said it's exactly what you're looking for. Secluded and only 5 minutes from Rickett's Glen State Park. Thanks for having us! -Nick

Amazing
We were lucky to be the first renters of this beautiful house. Owner, David, is fantastic - easy to deal with, accommodating, professional. The house is new, beds are comfortable, everything was spotless clean. We enjoyed the outdoors a lot. House is located on top of the mountain, surrounded by forest. It was perfect to have the gazebo with huge table for a rainy day. I can't say enough of good things about this vacation rental, you need to go there and grasp that fresh air for yourself.
