This was our third year in a row and we plan to be back next year.

FANTASTIC! We rented the house for our daughters wedding in elk county. Reception was at the Dam Inn (AMAZING TOO). This rental house was so perfect for our family. We had a full house and such a great weekend we will never forget! Tons of memories we will carry with us for the rest of our lives! Amazing scenery! We want to go back someday! Highly recommend!

Amazing river in our backyard, riverside fire pit was delightful, lodge was everything we had hoped for! Weather was ideal. Ron was very helpful when needed.

Great stay. We enjoyed the yard, firepit, the river and trails. The house is divided into three separate 'wings' which allowed some separation. Kitchen was large as that is always a meeting place.

Home was a great retreat. Loved tubing down the river and the big kitchen.

This place was perfect. Huge house with everything you need for either a short or long stay. Hiking and fishing just outside the door, the sound of the East Baranch gurgling over the rocks while sitting on the front porch washed away any worries of the day. We will be back again for sure. Thank you for renting exactly what is advertised!

This place is special. Beautiful setting. You can imagine the history. Fantastic Location, especially if you fish.

Nice place, Nice location.

We had a wonderful time at the Riverside Lodge. It was very spacious, with plenty of room for the whole family. The kitchen facilities were great! State park and recreation areas were close by. Very relaxing experience.

We really enjoyed our stay at the spacious Riverside Lodge! There was plenty of space for us to spread out and enjoy our time together. The riverside setting was beautiful. We took advantage of the accommodating kitchen to cook some delicious meals. Very relaxing and fun time!

We were thrilled when we arrived at the Riverside Inn! The home is so spacious and we had more than plenty of room for our family group of 7! The property itself could not have been more stunning with the stream running directly off the back porch and the fire pit area! I would have loved to have a lounge chair or a hammock to tie up between the trees, I could have taken a nap out by the stream! We enjoyed the fire pit just about every evening and made s’mores and hot dogs one evening! This home Is truly a hidden GEM! My family went fishing during the day and about caught their limit each day and came home and we played corn hole by the stream! We also visited the Elk County Viewing Area as well as the Kinsua State Park! Seeing the history of the Kinsua Bridge was very interesting! The owner of the property Ron was available for anything we needed and the home was equipped with everything we needed during our stay. With two stoves and two refrigerators, it made it extremely convenient and we only had to run back to town one time! The owners also supplied a wine refrigerator with their soon to be winery’s fabulous wine! We enjoyed several bottles during our stay and loved each one! We hope to be able to get back out again to relive the memories we have already made at the Riverside Inn! Thank you for sharing this beautiful Property with us! Such a blessing! Nature at its best!

The places we needed for a wedding weekend. It made stress melt away only regret is we didnt stay longer! There was history in the cabin and the locals gave us more history if it. It was great!

Awesome

We enjoyed our stay. House was lovely. There were several everyday items that seemed to be missing from the kitchen, a measuring cup, a pasta strainer, and a decent can opener. The door leading outside in one of the bedrooms was very difficult to open. Otherwise, wonderful place!

great charming house with lots of room and very large porch overlooking a serious river not some small bubbling brook .

Renting was easy and property is as shown and described. Manager met us the day of arrival and was available for questions at all times.

Great place to get away with friends. Well equipped kitchen, spacious bedrooms. Our favorite places are the Great Room and the fire pit in the evening.

Was great we all had fun. Would recommend some more comfortable furniture in the room with the fireplace

A bunch of our friends wanted to get away for New Year’s. A friend of ours recommended this place so we decided to try it. It worked out great for our needs. There was plenty of room for everyone. The place was very nice and the owners were very accommodating. I would recommend it to anyone with a group of people. The only downfall to the place was the stairs to the upper loft. The stairs were very steep and winding which made it impossible for several of our group to use. Other than that it was great.

Wonderful stay. Great location.

I rented this property because my son was getting married across the street at the Dam Inn it was perfect and we were very comfortable. Thank you again looking forward to another stay.

To celebrate my 40th birthday me and 11 of my friends descended on this location during Fall for a weeks worth of board games, hikes, campfires and friendship. The house was large and spacious and its character was great. My friends and I made lasting memories wandering the nature, sitting on the porch and enjoying the lodge like great room. The area was quiet and bedecked in fall colours, the hosts were warm and inviting and helpful. We even joked that would should do a 5 year reunion when i turn 45. Definitely recommend this place

Wonderful place for a family or group. Plenty of beds, bathrooms, and parking. The sound of the nearby stream very relaxing.

The pictures are nice but don’t show that the house is right on a busy road. Six a.m. trucks wake us up every morning since it was very hot and the windows were all open because there is no air conditioning . . . but plenty of fans. That having been said, we loved the house, the fire pit, the yard and the river. We brought 14 bikes (there were 4 in the shed), five kayaks and four tubes. The river was just barely high enough. Last week in July and one more week without a big rain and the water will be too low for those activities. Thankfully it was a very wet season. The kids (ages 5 to 15) all had an awesome time as did all the adults! Thank you Ron and Jackie!

Excellent location, cool house. We would love to stay here again!

17 friends and relatives stayed in this amazing lodge near Wilcox, PA Jackie and Ron are wonderful hosts and available to help at a moments notice. Looking forward to returning next year.

We went to Elk Country to see the elk of Benezette area. We had three couples and a single in our party. although this location is a bit distant from Benezette (approx 45 min drive) - everything worked out well. Ron was a very hospitable host.....sharing a bottle of his homemade wine. We watched the PSU-OSU game on the 60" TV in the living room...and we mostly sat and talked around the large kitchen island. It is a neat house - right on the river. if you have a large group - this place can handle it! We drove to the Kinzua Bridge...and also visited Ridgeway and Smethport.... The elk at the Benezette Elk Country Visitor Center also cooperated!

We had a fantastic extended family vacation at the Wilcox lodge property. There are lots of bedrooms and areas to sleep, to eat, and to relax. The "big room" has great character, lots of room to hang out, very comfortable. (If your kids are afraid of large mounted moose heads, keep them out.) The property used to be a lodge and has some antique furniture and authentic historical character. Bathrooms are clean and modern. The kitchen is large, well appointed, and can accommodate several cooks. A second refrigerator in the laundry room. It is very practical, lots of storage. Great times every evening on the back deck, with a fire in the fire pit and the creek flowing right behind - so special! Ron was incredibly helpful, visiting each day to make sure everything was all right, advising about activities for us to do in the area. He is a pleasure. There are many great recreation and museum activities within an hour drive, especially in and around the national forest. Be aware the property doesn't have a/c (yet?) so in a heat wave (which we had), the two bedrooms off the dining room can get uncomfortable. But Ron brought fans for us which really cooled things down in the evening. And the big room remained cool for us as long as we kept the windows and shades closed in the day time. Overall, highly recommended.
