My husband and I were desperate for a peaceful and relaxing getaway, where we could take our Boxer, Remmi. We found that on Bear Mountain, where it felt like we were out in the middle of nowhere, yet when we really needed something, we were only about 15 minutes from a store. We were welcomed to a very clean cabin and from the start, the owner was great with needed communication. We truly enjoyed sitting around the fire and walking the woods with our dog. We got to relax, clear our mind and we will definitely be back!!!

Nice Relaxing Vacation near Gettysburg

We visited Gettysburg and stayed at this property which is about 30 minutes from the National Historical Park. After a long day of walking and touring the Battlefield it was nice to come back to this property and have a nice peaceful evening. The house is secluded and in a very quiet area. We really enjoyed our stay

Relaxing nature getaway

Our stay was very relaxing. The house looks exactly as pictured- clean and well equipped. The host, David, is extremely responsive. The house is tucked away on the mountain side and our two dogs absolutely loved the private outdoor space. We saw lots of deer which was fun! We felt very at home and enjoyed our stay!

This cabin in the woods is exactly what our family was looking for. This was our second time back and will be returning. I love that it is literally at the top of a mountain. It was clean and Dave the host is incredibly quick to respond to any messages I have. The location is perfect. If you like a quiet, sit around a campfire with your friends and family kind of vacation, this place is perfect.
