This property has a wonderful location especially if you’re looking to quad or side by side right outside your door. 3 rd bedroom in basement could use a dehumidifier and possibly a bathroom. The kitchen was wonderful and had everything you could need. Overall a nice place to stay

My wife and I planned to fish,hike and spend time together with our black lab in the area. The property was in a great location with a nice hot tub to enjoy after all the sightseeing for Elk. No sightings but great views from the deck area for deer and stargazing

I've always heard about the wild Elks in PA, and have always wanted to visit. So my husband and I decided to look for some places to stay right before Christmas that were dog friendly, with a hot tub! With it being off season, we weren't sure if we'd see Elk. We were lucky to see them at Dawn on a drive up Winslow Hill Rd.. Lots of bugling too! Saw many Bulls very close and got some great photos! Our German Shepard loved the giant open yard to run around... we had a fire outside on Christmas Eve and it was even warm enough to eat our steak dinner outside that we cooked on the grill. The hot tub was lovely with the view of the hill in the background. All in all - going off-season was a fantastic idea!

House was very clean. There is a loveseat and TV on first floor so didn’t need to go downstairs. Beds were comfortable, kitchen updated. Hot tub was great, large porches with roofs allowed us to sit out all day and evenings. Didn’t see any elk but we did have 6 deer one evening and a couple a second evening. Overall very relaxing time and looking forward to going back in 2024.

Despite having awful weather the weekend of our visit (cold and rainy), we had an incredible stay at the property! From the beautiful kitchen to the relaxing hot tub and it's mountain views (breathtaking!), the house was inviting and well accommodated. The stairs to the basement were a little daunting, but our teenage daughters loved to have their own getaway space where the grown ups didn't bother them! Even my mother, who happened to be in a wheelchair during our stay, found everything comfortable and accessible (other than the basement!). The property owner was quick to respond to messages, and the check in and out process was smooth and easy! Location is very nearby the Elk County Visitor center and downtown Benezette, near the cross, and not far from any of the local restaurants or wineries. I highly recommend! Would love to return in the future!

The house is great. We spent most of our time on the large covered porches. The mountain view is amazing! The steps to the living room are sketchy but we spent out time outside. We'd definitely go back!

We stayed here last August before school started for the kids. We enjoyed it so much we booked the house again in January for the same timing. Though the house was not as clean this time around it still served it's purpose. The new owners were attentive. My only suggestion would be to do better on the cleaning, appearance is everything in a rental property. Overall we were happy with our stay.

Had a great time exploring a part of our state we had never been to before. The house was wonderful and even though the weather was great, we decided to cook in the kitchen because it was that fabulous! Communication with the owner was perfect and any issue we had was taken care of promptly. The views from the deck were spectacular! Didn’t see any elk, but that was ok. Had some deer in the morning so that was nice. Great stay! Will go back!

Our son got married this weekend and staying at this cabin was perfect. We spent most of the time on the covered porch. Our Australian Shepherd loved the yard. Everything we needed was there. We would highly recommend this rental.

Everything was advertised and absolutely wonderful! Very clean inside the rental and the hottub was amazing. Apparently there used to be a cloudy issue but we didn't have that at all - very enjoyable. We appreciated the communication and flexibility when we had to change dates due to my dad being in the hospital. Looking forward to hopefully staying again!

House was very nice and view to kill for. Our quest to find elk was unsuccessful but saw some new country. Rosie's restaurant on mountain approaching St. Marys has great breakfast. Benezette Hotel is also good. Alittle further in Kersey, another good restaurant. Can't remember name. Manager/owner great guy with alot on his plate. Thanks

Our stay was overall very good, no complaints about the house itself or how it was kept. We thought it was very nice, spacious, and clean. Only comment there is the bathroom on the living room level doesn’t have a fan and the shower leaked onto the floor, might help to rework that in the future, but I’m sure the owners know that. Our check-in was a little rocky, the renters of the house next door somehow accidentally checked into ours. I think Dylan made an honest mistake, and I’m sure will make check-in more smooth in the future. He was at the property when this happened, and afterwards responded quickly through Vrbo. He managed to get us into the right house, and had offered a full refund if he somehow couldn’t get the other family out. He was friendly and professional through the whole thing. Would stay again!

Hot tub was not clean/very cloudy and had a bad odor. Gas grill was filthy and there was NO propane in the tank-no grilling had to fry in pan on house range. Living room area was not easily assessable and had no fire exit (so not an extra sleeping space)-not accurately listed in VRBO listing. Host got back to me in timely manner with information and instructions on how to fix wall unit heat because it was not functioning when we arrived and house was not warm. Wall units were very noisy.

We decided to go away for Christmas this year and decided on staying here. It was a great choice. We loved it. The hottub was a awesome. Only thing I would suggest is maybe checking the temperature of the home as it was chilly when we arrived. ( temperature outside was 4 when we arrived ) Also, the stairs to the room downstairs are a little risky. . But all in all it was an awesome stay with family.

Very clean rental with everything provided, just bring what you want with you. The views were gorgeous. We didn't see any elk in the yard, but saw them every time we went out.

This was our first weekend stay and it was perfect! We had gone before for just the day but it was exhausting coming from Erie. A weekend was perfect and this location couldn't have been better! Close to the Winslow Visitor Center where we were able to view a group of over 40 elk on Saturday evening. Definitely will stay here again! We all loved it!

First off, let me say, we enjoyed the stay. This review is a little different because of a situation that was outside of the control of the property owner/manager. But I want to give honest feedback to help them in the future. I'm a seasoned BNB of the Air variety and this was my first VRBO experience. I've seen a lot of different things, just so you know that I understand things happen. I booked the VRBO the day before I was planning on going. I waited for an email for some time to confirm the check in process, but I didn't get one. So I'm not sure if that's a VRBO thing or an owner thing. I left 2 messages on the VRBO booking details and didn't receive any response that day. Tom did respond the following day to tell me if I needed anything to call a number. That was actually while I was on my way down and I had previosly programmed the number (his from the VRBO site, into my phone), so I called that number and Tom was a little surprised I think. It was different than the property managers number after I went back and looked at it. I said I hadn't received any information about check in and he said... "Oh! Here is the combination for the key box." So, no big deal, we got there and got in and the property is a nice location and a nice property. We were met with a note, it may have been from the cleaning people or it may have been the previous tenants... it said the electricity was out since 8 AM and that the dishes were in the dishwasher and the toilets couldn't be cleaned. Sounds reasonable enough right? The part that was a let down is that none of the beds had been cleaned or the linens changed. We were there about 10 minutes and the electricity came on. We called the property manager and she was a little flustered by the situation. I think she may have been in the dark about what was going on and probably depends on their cleaning service to relay information. I asked if the cleaning crew could come and clean, she said she'd call back. The crew couldn't come until the next day. She told us where the key to the basement room was that had the linens (It was actually already opened) and we changed the linens in the master bedroom and did some cleaning in there and the kitchen including the dishes. I called the property manager and cancelled the crew. We made the best of it. The cleaners could have done what we did without power. (Shortening - word limit) The actual house is great. Hot tub is great. Recommend.

Everything was as advertised. We were there for a wedding and everyone ended up coming to our place because they said it was the best. Owner, Tom was fantastic. AC was key as it was 90 degrees and they worked great. Location was great and easy to get everywhere. Very, very happy with our stay at the Bugle.
