We truly had an amazing experience. It's a perfect place to be with your family and friends. The property was clean and full of games, kitchen, and bathroom supplies. It's truly a place to enjoy nature. Major Tom is great and very helpful. He provided all help and support to make our stay relaxing and comfortable. Thank you Major Tom for your hospitality. We will visit again. Thanks !!!

We had a wonderful and memorable stay. If you enjoy the quiet wonder of nature with a personal touch from Major Tom, then this is the vacation for you. We travelled with two small boys and as family we enjoyed hiking on the property, feeding the ducks (Major tom made sure kids had food each day), discovering waterfalls and making bonfire every night. Once you arrive at the cabin, you have everything you need and don't want to leave. The view from both cabin is the best. Best part having your morning coffee on the balcony with brook running in background. It's been the best and most relaxing vacation we had in last eight years. We didn't feel the need for internet or technology nor our children. Disconnected from reality and truly recharged, enjoyed our children, our friends and this little paradise. We have enjoyed table games they have. Major Tom's personal touch made a huge difference, constant check in to ensure we have everything we need, from wood, duck food and answered all the questions we may had bout the area- made us feel like home away from home. We enjoyed his company and goodies what he brought for our boys. Thank you for a special welcome to our veterans from our group. Thanks again Major Tom, you made us feel so welcome, that personal touch is what made our stay so wonderful. Sincerely, the Davids

Everything was excellent....thanks Major Tom for your time with my kids....great christmas memories....

We had a great stay at the Fern Cabin and would absolutely come back to this property.

The property was beautiful inside and out. The furniture was so neat, but not too practical nor comfortable. There were crumbs in the refrigerator drawers and some of the cupboards, but the rest was clean. There was a pair of underwear on the back deck which concerned us a bit. The view from the back deck was really nice. The spiral stairs were so beautiful and neat, but they were tough for the older (age 70+) adults. There was duck food to feed the very friendly ducks which the kids loved. The kayaks on the pond worked well, but the paddle boat only went in one direction and wouldn't steer. It was within reasonable distance of the attractions. If you're a bigger/taller person, you'll struggle in the small shower. It was weird not having a key to lock the door. If you're planning on being outside more than inside, you're good to go. The kitchen light was working when we got there and the property manager worked hard to get in fixed within 30 minutes. We appreciated that.

Just a wonderful overall experience. Our kids 4 and 7 had a wonderful time. The boats. The fire pits. The scenery . So beautiful . And major Tom was super accommodating .

The cabin, its surroundings, and the welcoming host Major Tom were all exactly what we hoped they would be. The cabin is large and very well-maintained, and stocked with everything you may need for a fun and comfortable stay. Towels and linens were plentiful, clean and relatively new. There are 2 decks with swinging chairs and a great grill, and a front porch. The pool table in the basement was popular with my sons. There are multiple ponds on the property and we caught a bunch of fish. We had a fire almost every night at the well-stocked fire pit, and enjoyed hiking to the nearby waterfall. This summary wouldn't be complete without mentioning our host Major Tom who provided a great deal of information about activities, restaurants, etc and brought us fresh eggs and vegetables from his garden. He has some great stories and a very interesting background. The smiles on my sons' faces were all I needed to confirm that this vacation will be a lasting memory for all of us. Oh, the only challenge was the Wifi. There was very little signal. But, I was happy to be off the grid. On 2 days we drove to Hazelton and used Wifi in restaurants for an hour or so. For us, this wasn't an issue.

Our family had a wonderfully relaxing stay in the Fern cabin. Everything was as expected and Major Tom went above and beyond to ensure our stay was relaxing and stress free. He treated us to fresh eggs from his chickens, local corn and many tips about the property and local area. The first few days of our trip were quite warm but the air conditioning in the cabin was more than adequate. We enjoyed feeding the ducks each morning, long walks on the property and mountain biking from our front door to the Lehigh Gorge Trail. The big sky, fresh air and silence were a welcomed change that made for a great week. We hope to visit again.

We really enjoyed our stay at Fern Cabin. If you are looking for a place to connect with nature, then this property is the perfect fit. Major Tom is the best host. We can’t thank him enough for helping us. We loved the walk to waterfall, enjoyed the bonfire, and had fun feeding ducks. Would definitely recommend this beautiful property. What a gem!

We really enjoyed our stay at the Fern cabin it was our home for 3 days. And that is not enough time. I could easily live out there indefinitely. The quiet and the sounds of nature surround you. The clean crisp air. The creek behind the cabin, the trail the water fall. The numerous ponds and wonderful sunsets. Were some of the experiences we will cherish. And we cannot forget Major Tom. He was there shortly to greet you and be of service of anything you needed. Very sociable and knowledgeable you can easily engage on having a conversation with him. He helped us build a fire for the night and was helpful for anything we needed during our stay. I would love to return to spend more time in this beautiful property. Was able to zen and ground myself for my trip back home. Thank you for sharing a piece of paradise with us.-Vivian from the flatlands

An amazing property. Major Tom was a great host, very helpful and an interesting guy. The cabin was fantastic and surpassed our expectations. The fishing, hiking and the beauty of the property made our weekend a 10!

What a weekend! We had the most wonder stay at Fern Cabin. Truly a place to enjoy nature and connect with Family. Major Tom was such a gracious host. He checked in on us and made sure we have the best time. Our requests were accommodated. The cabin had such history and one of a kind. Each morning we wake to the sound of waterfall and birds. A short walk to trails and hidden waterfalls. The privacy and beauty of the place is unmatched. We will never forget our stay! Thank you Major Tom! God Bless and stay healthy

This cabin was absolutely beautiful. It was tucked in a quiet wooded area on top of a mountain. Sunset was breathtaking. The wood made furniture from the Philippines was stunning. The cabin was so relaxing and comfortable. Major Tom who was taking care of the property when we were there greeted us immediately & got us settled in. He brought us fresh eggs and showed our teen boys how to make a fire. He brought food for the ducks. We were in area for family emergency so we did not get a chance to venture out on the property but we plan on going back for a weekend getaway. This is literally a hidden gem Thanks to Major Tom for making our stay memorable

The brookside lodge cabin was like a dream coming true to me. Situated on the hill with the brook singing at the back and vast green meadow in the front, it’s like a heaven of peace. The root sculpture furniture are stunningly gorgeous. The ducks come at the door every morning for food. Feeding them is such a fun thing. Major Tom is wonderful and very helpful. I hope more people come here to help maintain this beautiful piece of nature.

Gorgeous location, cosy cabin and a superb host made our stay just perfect!!

Place was clean and cozy. Property manager was very helpful and available. Great start

It was all greater than I expected! The property was great and Major Tom made things all the better. Fresh eggs, set up the fire pit, and took us on a quad ride through the woods before leaving. Simply fantastic. Would go again!

We had a great stay at The Fern cabin. We were weekending with good friends and their 10 year old and dogs, and the property was all we imagined it to be and more. The major plusses: 400 beautiful acres to wander without worrying about others, especially great with dogs. The pond was great fun for the kids to swim in. We especially loved the zip line and access to the paddle boats, kayak and tubes. Plentiful firewood for evening fires. The path to the Lehigh Gorge Trail and the waterfall were great for hiking and biking. We enjoyed getting to know Major Tom and exchanging our thoughts on the current state of the world. Suggestions: a few updates to the kitchen (bowls and plastic cups, etc.) and indoor lighting would be great. It was quite dim at night and hard to see what you were doing. We had a few issues with windows that need repair. Other than that, we had a wonderful time and greatly appreciate the hospitality. We will return for sure!

Had an extraordinary time at the brook side lodges fern cabin. The property was breathtaking! Lots to do for my 10year old daughter and my husband and self. Had to time for activities and rest relaxation. The cabin was comfy and clean. Fresh linens and comfortable beds. Kitchen equipped with everything you will need during your stay. Tom was an amazing host! He made us feel comfortable and at home. He greeted us with farm fresh eggs and bacon and treated us as family. His hospitality and friendliness surpasses any host I have ever met before. Our family is already planning another trip back in the next few months.

Our family had a fantastic time swimming, hiking, boating and fishing. The cabin is everything we had hoped for...relaxing, cozy and great ambiance. Tom was a great host. We are already planning our next stay.

This property is breathtaking, the cabin is charming. This is the ultimate get away. Most of all Major Tom who runs the property was so accommodating and so kind, my family was hugging him. He was so genuinely helpful and informative we felt like home. We have traveled to many places and have never had such a warm experience. The owners of this property have something special here and we will be back...real soon...Thank you Liz, Thank you Major Tom...such a beautiful experience. God Bless your Familyl!

Our family had a terrific time at the Fern Cabin. Many Fish were caught in the ponds. We hiked and swam in the pond with the ducks. The zipline was super fun and the sunset on the airstrip was not to be missed. Major Tom was a terrific host and kept us fully stocked with firewood for the firepit and food for the always hungry pair of ducks. We had a very relaxing getaway from it all.

Beautiful property, 400 acres, great 50 foot waterfall on property about 10 minute walk (and then you can continue to the Lehigh, about another 10 min). Huge fields, just lie down and look up at the stars. Major Tom came around in the evening to start a bonfire for us, and also bring us fresh eggs from the barn. There's a whitewater rafting place about 10 min away, and various state parks and other activities within 30 minutes. Hershey Park is a bit further.... but there is more than enough to do in the area. There are several ponds, including one with a zipline over it (bring a bathing suit). There is limited internet reception in the area (depends on your service) - so do your internet work beforehand, and use this time to enjoy. Overall, highly recommended.

The cabin was perfect, just as pictured. Perfect location, and property hosts were friendly and accommodating. We enjoyed "getting away" from it all, and this was the perfect location. The property has great hikes, built in! We also enjoyed fishing and feeding the ducks onsite, and ventured out to Hickory Run, Boulder field and Jim Thorpe.

Great experience. The Ferns was clean, comfortable, and set in an amazing natural surrounding. I enjoyed wakening to the sounds of song birds each morning. Easy access to the Lehigh Trail was a huge plus. The family that owns and runs the property is top notch, kind, and caring. We look forward to returning.

The cabin was beautiful. My family and I wanted to get away from the craziness around us and go somewhere secluded. This place gave us just that peace of mind and secluded from the crazy world around us. The kids had a blast at the pond which is located right at the cabins. The cabin was breath taking.

Great family weekend getaway.

This property was beyond what i expected it to be. Opening the door too the fern was breathtaking seeing al the beautiful decoration and furniture. The fern was clean the beds were comfortable and the property was stunning. We explored the few ponds on the property. The big pond closest to the fern was great for fishing and also relaxing on a boat or tube the water was very refreshing to swim in on a hot day and for the dare devils there is a zip line over this pond. We caught both rainbow trout and bass in the ponds. Major Tom on the property is a very big help, he told us the lay of the land and where everything is and what the property has to offer. He was a great help and always made sure that we were satisfied.

This was an absolutely perfect experience! The man running the show was Major Tom and he took such good care of us and made the whole trip go super smooth . Great trails , waterfall , the dogs on the grounds are awesome and the pond was stocked and ready to fish. I highly recommend staying here.

The Fern was exactly what we were looking for (and more!) for our family reunion getaway. The cabin itself was cozy, neat, and well-equipped. Around the cabin there’s plenty to explore nature-wise. Property managers were available for any support as/if needed! Unforgettable experience!

Words will do this cabin no justice this was an amazing get away tons of property and trails to roam. The Fern had everything you and your whole family need to reset and reconnect with nature. Love this place Major Tom was an amazing host! Anything we needed he was there. We will be back for sure. Thank you!! The McGroartys

The location can not be beat! You can leave from the cabin and walk along the creek down to the river. There are so many amenities within the property as well that can keep you all busy. The owners are very responsive and a pleasure to talk to. Definitely will look to go back. Top notch! Thanks to Major Tom , Marie and family for everything.
