About this property

Barr Top Lodge - Newly Constructed in 2023, Secluded and Remote in the Elk Range

Barr Top Lodge is the Newest of the Barr Top Rentals fleet of vacation rentals in the PA Wilds. You may already be familiar with our others, Camp Critter, Dream Ridge Lodge and Bull Hollow Lodge and formerly Barr None Lodge. Barr Top Lodge is our newest construction and we began renting in September of 2023. If you previously stayed at Barr None Lodge, you will be immediately familiar with Barr Top. Located just "above" Barr None, Barr Top is the same construction only this time, on a full basement instead of a 2nd floor. Situated in the heart of the Elk Range and just a mile from Hicks Run, this lodge provides guests with a quiet and remote wilderness getaway.

As with our other Lodges, Benezette PA is our guests most frequent destination from the lodge. The Winslow Hill Viewing Center is a 20 minute drive from the lodge. The Hicks Run Viewing center is a 5 minute drive from the lodge. Visitors also enjoy nearly endless fishing and hiking opportunities.

We offer all the comforts of home. Fully furnished and equipped, you can leave everything but your clothes and food at home. We provide linens and towels, a kitchen complete with every pot, pan or utensil you will need, High Speed Unlimited Internet, Big Screen Smart TV, a Huge Walk in Shower, Central Air and more.

Other amenities include a spacious finished basement complete with Pool Table, Television and lounging area. The kids are welcome to bring their game machines and plug into the 55" TV in the basement.

Seclusion is one of the lodge's most valuable assets. Sit on the huge covered deck or take your camp chairs to the fire ring (with cooking rack) and enjoy the peace and quiet.

The Lodge is accessible year round (4 Wheel Drive is a must in the winter). We look forward to hosting you. Seth and Kevin, Barr Top Rentals.
Guests can enjoy a Smart TV and stay connected with free WiFi. Other standard amenities include a kitchen, a washing machine, and 2.5 bathrooms.

The cabin was awesome and we enjoyed our stay. I am glad I had a SUV for the 4 miles ride to the cabin. Just suggestions for the elderly. Safety bars in both showers would be a plus. My mom (85) and Aunt (88) both had problems getting in and out of the shower. Nothing to hold on to. The master shower could use some type of 'non-skid" flooring and the rug outside of the shower moved when getting out of the shower. No backing. The hall bathroom shower does not drain well and standing in water. Other that that, we enjoy our stay.

The house and property were beautiful. Just keep in mind that to get to it you have numerous miles of dirt and gravel roads that are not well maintained. Your vehicle will be extremely dirty if you drive much at all on them. Also gps does not work correctly and can get you lost on extremely bad roads.

Barr Top Lodge was the perfect place for our family of 7 to stay. The amenities were exactly what we needed for a relaxing weekend. The kids sure did enjoy the pool table. I was slightly disappointed with the cleanliness, but i know that can be difficult being in the woods.

Elk Shed Camp 2025

Marine Corps Brothers annual trip to Benezette in search of elk sheds. We spend hours in the woods and hiking to the meadows in the high country looking for sheds. Although this is our 5th year and again it was unsuccessful we have already booked next years trip. This is by far the BEST VRBO we have stay at in the area and look forward to doing it all over again next year!
