Such a lovely escape! Cabin is cozy and comfortable, and couldn’t be more convenient for hiking in Ricketts Glen. Jess leaves a helpful binder of local food recommendations - we went to Benton and Harvey’s Lake, neither too far away. Highly recommend!

We loved our stay! The house is tucked away in the woods, making it a peaceful and relaxing retreat. It was very clean, the bed was comfortable, and the décor had a nice mix of old and modern touches that gave it character with every amenity needed. Such a lovely spot for a quiet getaway.

Lovely cabin for retreat in the woods

The cabin was clean and just as advertised. It was quiet and gave wonderful access to the creek and woods. The screened in porch was a favorite spot. Located within a 5 minute drive to Ricketts Glen to sew the beautiful falls. Would love to stay again. Highlt recommend.
