About this property

Creekside Cabin is no longer available.

It is with heavy hearts that we have decided that Creekside Cabin will no longer be available to rent.

We have enjoyed hosting guests from all over the world and getting the chance to meet so many wonderful people.

It was not an easy decision. But, life happens and we will not be able to put in the work required to run the cabin.

Thank you so much for these past years!! It's been an amazing adventure!!
Rae and Tim




Our cabin sits along the Little Juniata Creek - a hidden gem in Central PA. It's perfect for trout fishing (with a PA License) or exploring with little ones. We are situated on 8 wooded acres at the bottom of a dirt road secluding you from the modern world. But, fear not, Wifi is available for those that want to stay plugged in. We have a hand built fire pit perfect for roasting marshmallows and ghost stories. There is a picnic table under the pavilion for outdoor dining.

The cabin itself is fully equipped for home cooked meals (we also provide a grill). Basic necessities are also provided to get you started. For groceries, there are several options within a 15 minute drive. There is a TV with cable and a game cube for the kids, just in case it rains. Their is NO CELL SERVICE in or around the cabin. If you can’t make calls over WiFi with your phone, you’ll need to walk up the road a bit until you get a cell signal.

If you're looking for things to do off the property, the Susquehanna and Juniata Rivers are both within 15 min. The Susquehanna provides excellent fishing while the Juniata is great for tubing, kayaking or canoeing. Nearby outfitters can set you up with a variety of adventures. The capitol of Harrisburg is less than 30 minutes away. So, if you're looking for more diverse dining options, there are lots of choices. There's shopping, a science center and museum. In addition, City Island is home to the Harrisburg Senators (Double-A affiliate of the Washington Nationals). Hollywood Casino/Racetrack is 35 minutes away. Hershey Park is only 40 min. Last, but not least, Penn State is just over an hour - we're perfect for game weekend!

Please be aware that even though we're secluded, you're in the middle of a sportsman's paradise. There is a gun range a short distance away, so there could be shooting. If you are interested, we can direct you to the range or there are numerous state gamelands for hunting, depending on what season it is. We've had deer, fox, ducks, heron and bear on our property. We've even started to see Eagles flying over the creek lately.

We are located approximately .7 mile down an unpaved, dirt road. It may seem a bit daunting at first, but we have yet to find a vehicle that could not make it down and up that road. Drive slowly and you'll be fine!

Come to Paradise Cabin and find your peace!

Fun family getaway

We had a fabulous time staying at Creekside Cabin! The cabin was absolutely perfect for our family Of 4+ our dog Bandit. Although we brought everything with us, it was fully stocked in case we would have forgotten something. Looking forward to again, many times in the future and will be recommending this place to friends and family!

Great spot for family getaway

We love this place. It's open enough to have space with the kids to play but secluded enough to feel like you're away from the world. Have been here twice and will be returning every year as long as possible.

Another great year at the cabin

We loved this cabin so much we had to come back again this year and I'm so glad we did! There was plenty more to explore in the area, but our favorite part of the trip was just relaxing at the cabin by the fire pit, grilling, and laying on the hammock. We might have to make this an annual tradition. Thanks again!

About the host

Hosted by Rae O'Kane

Host profile image
My husband and I grew up in Harrisburg, but moved down towards Baltimore for better job opportunities. I currently work for McCormck, which has given me the opportunity to travel around the US and Europe. My husband recently retired and is the caretaker of Paradise Cabin. We are empty nesters with 2 grown children. One lives in Utah, the other in Arizona. We have one rambunctious border collie who loves living here and couldn't be happier with the abundance of squirrels.

Why they chose this property

I grew up going to the property down the road from ours. But, I knew this cabin well from spending hours on the tire swing flying out of the creek. Sadly that tire swing is no longer. But, when the chance came up for us to buy this cabin, we made an offer the minute it hit. It's been one of the best things we've ever done. We're just hoping to share the magic that this place holds with others.

Back in the early 1900s there was a train that ran along the other side of the creek from our cabin (you can still see the road, but the rails were removed long ago). The train would stop just a little further down the creek. People would wear their Sunday best and come here for the day to escape the city and have a picnic. Just down from us is the original ice scream shop, still standing, but owned by someone else, now. It was referred to as Paradise back then, the main road that the cabin sits off of is Paradise Rd. So, we thought there was no better name for the cabin.

What makes this property unique

Secluded, yet close to everything you can imagine - hiking, water sports, city life, amusement parks. You can do everything or do nothing at all.

You can hear the trains whistling in the distance as you sit around the fire. Relax in the the hammock and listen to the creek or stomp around in it and cool off - be a kid, again! Speaking of kids, they love it up here. My nieces and nephews spend hours in that creek chasing crayfish or looking for salamanders. If it's too cool, there are tons of space to run and there are a few outdoor games to play - cornhole and bocce. We've had people ask us not to tell everyone the wifi password so they can disconnect their phones and reconnect as a family. It really works. That fire pit is the best place to sit and talk to each other long into the night.
