The cabin is simple and compact but had everything that we needed…bedrooms, bathroom, full kitchen and comfortable living room. The property is gorgeous (tree canopy and ferns as the understory) and the fire pit (with ample wood provided!) was perfect for a relaxing evening after visiting 30 waterfalls in 1 day (53 waterfalls in 3 days). The house is convenient to Ricketts Glen State Park and Red Rock Scoops, which has great ice cream with some unique flavors for a reward after our long hikes.

Beautiful cabin. Not huge, but not too small either. Very clean and well-maintained. Property is quiet and secluded, but also very close to Rickett's Glen, country store and variety of dinner options. Try the fish and chips at Crooked Creek. 10/10! Burger and waffle fries were fantastic also. Had to cut our trip short but will be coming back soon. And Jeff, the host, is a pleasure to deal with.

This place had everything you would want in a cabin. It had party lights strung up outside a huge fire pit and outdoor picnic grill. Outdoor seating on the front porch a beautiful trail in the woods. It was perfect.

Cabin

Very nice cabin in the woods. Nice fire pit we brought our own wood so we didn’t have to pay extra. Make sure you bring your own BLANKETS sheets and towels. Beds are not comfortable and bunk beds make a-lot of noise. Owner is quick to respond.

Peaceful, cozy getaway in the woods

What an amazing little cabin in the woods! Our host was awesome - super friendly and even greeted us when we arrived, which made us feel so welcome. The place was cozy, quiet, and felt so secluded, surrounded by beautiful mountain views. The location couldn’t be better - just a couple minutes from Ricketts Glen State Park, which made it super easy to explore. We loved that there were extra space heaters in each room to keep us warm at night (a huge bonus if you’re visiting in the winter). Watching the snow fall while being snug inside was magical. This spot is perfect for a family getaway or bringing your dogs along. We had such a relaxing time and would totally come back!
