About this property

Ricketts Glen Retreat

This mountain home is the bigger of our 2 rentals near Ricketts Glen state park. We just finished renovating and are very pleased with the result. This property which was my grandparents actually borders Ricketts Glen. I have many fond memories hunting and hiking the mountain and coming back to my Gram’s exceptional cooking. This home is situated off of Hynick road tucked in on the western border of Ricketts Glen on 10 private acres. Walking distance from the falls!
For entertainment, guests can enjoy TVs. Other standard amenities include kitchens, washing machines, and 2 bathrooms.
