The house is exactly as pictured and described in the listing. Lots of room and bed options for guests with kids. The kitchen was very well stocked with lots of dishes for large parties. There are plenty of towels and extra blankets and the beds are comfortable. There are ceiling fans and extra box fans in every bedroom. There is a house fan, as well, that cools down the entire house in the evening. The home is very private and peaceful, surrounded by woods all around. Our host, Dave was so friendly and communicative. He checked in before and during our trip to answer any questions and make sure our stay was enjoyable. He even took the time to ship me something I had left in the house. The property is a short drive to Glen Ricketts State Park where we visited every day of our stay. There is a super cute ice cream shop just a short drive from the house and is a must visit. There is a convenience store too that stocks the basics, like milk, eggs, chips and snacks. They also have made-to-order sandwiches and deli meat. Book your stay at this incredible property. You won't regret it!!

All the ladies had a great time. Extra bonus it snowed while we were there! The outside was just beautiful with the fresh snow. Can't wait to do it again.

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.

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.

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.
