About this farm stay rental
This mountain home is the bigger of our 2 rentals near Ricketts Glen state park. We just finished renovating and are very pleased with the result. This property which was my grandparents actually borders Ricketts Glen. I have many fond memories hunting and hiking the mountain and coming back to my Gram’s exceptional cooking. This home is situated off of Hynick road tucked in on the western border of Ricketts Glen on 10 private acres. Walking distance from the falls!

Nice old farmhouse on a beautiful tree lined road. Great location very close to the park. The house was clean, but the inside of the refrigerator and microwave hadn’t been cleaned.

Great location for exploring Ricketts Glen. My daughter's wedding was at Adams Falls, very close by. House was very old farm house, perfect for our country loving family. We rented both houses as we have a lot of kids and my parents were with us, too. Would stay again.

The house and grounds were very nice and well kept. It was a very quiet, peaceful area and we enjoyed just sitting back and relaxing while the others went hiking or to the beach. I would definitely recommend this to others. The house, by the way, was an older home that has been remodeled and was beautiful.

We enjoyed our stay. We especially liked the den, the outdoor patio, and the rooster who came to visit. The house was large, clean, and had its own personality. Note: If you use a lot of ice, bring some ice cube trays with you.

Nothing could have made out stay any better.
We rented it for 4 nights to celebrate my mother’s 80th birthday with a few family members. It was perfect and no complaints. Owner Jeff is so friendly. Everyone enjoyed the game room and also a brief time at the outside fireplace.

Perfect location for a quiet stay
We loved our stay at this home next to Ricketts Glen State Park. The house is clean and very roomy. The beds were so comfortable. The house was fully equipped with everything that we needed on our stay, inside and outside. The owner was so prompt in responding to our texts. Ricketts Glen has hiking trails for every ability, and World's End State Park is only 35 minutes away. Don't miss the view from High Knob, you can drive to the top for a very scenic vista.

Amazing!!
Absolutely amazing weekend! The house and property are beautiful and well kept. More private area on a dirt road with only two other houses. Very close to Rickett’s Glen! The owner was very easy to reach when needed and very helpful. I definitely recommend this rental! I’d love to stay again.

Perfect Location and Charming, Spacious House
We loved our stay at this home. It had everything we needed for a relaxing vacation “away from it all.” We made use of the fire pit nightly, and the game room was a hit with the kids. The location of the property was so convenient for hiking and a short ride into town to visit antique shops. The owners gave recommendations for where to shop and the best hikes for young children that were spot-on. We would love to stay here again one day!

Ricketts Glen house
Pleasant, comfortable house, very clean. I would consider coming back especially in the summer when we could take advantage of the outdoor seating with fire pit and picnic table.

Perfect location
We booked this house because we were coming for a wedding, but we also wanted to visit Ricketts Glen. It's the perfect location, you can actually walk to one of the trail entrances. The house was larger than the photos suggest and wonderfully upkept. Our only complaint was the mattresses were really hard.

Comfortable home bordering Ricketts Glen State Park. It was very spacious and perfect for a weekend away with our adult kids. Some of the trails were within walking distance, and we're hoping to visit again in the future!
