Weekend getaway

The house was super cute and cozy. Modern appliances and furniture was very comfortable. The shower pressure was great!,Private and set in a wooded lot away from the road. Beautiful landscaping and comfy chairs on front porch where we watched a thunderstorm.The owner was extremely accomodating and responsive. Even checked in after our 1st night to make sure we didnt need anything. Property is minutes from state park. We had a great time and would definitely recommend this property to escape from the chaos of your day to day!

A great find!

This property is beautifully maintained and better than what we expected! The exterior landscaping and the fire pit were such a lovely welcome, the kitchen had everything we needed (and some pantry essentials we forgot to pack!). The beds were comfortable, the bathrooms had consistent water pressure/temperature, and the living room was cozy. The extras - games, throw blankets, bug spray - were so thoughtful, and much appreciated. Can’t beat the location - centrally located and easy to get to all Ricketts Glen trails, and close enough that we also traveled to nearby Worlds End park. The home itself is off of a major road, but it’s set back enough and doesn’t disturb the peace. Really can’t say enough great things about this property and can’t wait to return!

Night away in the woods

We had a peaceful stay. We did a one nighter to relax and recharge. The cabin had great amenities for a night in. We arrived during a snow storm and the scenery was picture perfect. Great find for a short visit or a longer visit!!

Christmas 2024

We chose to celebrate Christmas in the mountains with family this year and rented this charming log cabin through VRBO. The cabin is a thoughtfully designed 3-bedroom, 2-bath home, perfectly nestled in a peaceful woodland setting. Its location was ideal—quiet and secluded yet conveniently close to nearby attractions.The cabin had everything we needed, from amenities to a clean, cozy atmosphere. We didn’t have to reach out to the owner at any point during our stay, as the check-in and check-out process was seamless, and everything was perfectly prepared for us.This holiday was truly one of the best we’ve had in years. If you’re looking for a serene escape surrounded by nature, we highly recommend this log cabin for a memorable family getaway.

Snowy Winter Retreat

The property was well kept, homey, and clean. There was plenty of room, and the location being close to the Falls Trail was wonderful. We got to hike the trail after receiving 6 inches of snow. Absolutely wonderful!

Perfectly quaint respite

We booked this home due to its proximity to Rickett's Glen and due to all the positive reviews. The reviews are as accurate as can be. We agree - 5 stars - 10/10. A perfectly quaint cabin/cottage on a secluded lot. A perfect mix of rustic and modern. Plenty of heat, a Roku TV, open staircase, well-appointed kitchen/living room. The aspect that solidifies our high rating is the owner's communication. Very prompt and personable. They checked in on us the day after we checked in. Thank you!

Weekend Away

We love staying at the cabin each year with our family. The cabin is always clean and inviting. The property is beautiful and our family sips coffee while watching our grandchild play in the yard. It is so great to be so close to the park so we can hike each year. Thank you for everything!

About the host

Hosted by Jessica

Host profile image
Hi!
We are Jessica & Doug.
I (Jess) grew up right down the road from Ricketts Glen State Park - working at Lake Jean as a lifeguard through high school and college. I did not realize how lucky I was living so close to this little gem in PA! Once I moved away for work - I missed the area, the quiet, and the people. Once we bought a cabin to spend the weekends, we wanted to share it with others when we were not using it. We love to share the local area and great little places tucked away in Northeast PA!

Why they chose this property

What makes this property unique

This cabin allows you to have the amenities you love while being in a secluded setting. The best of both worlds!
