The cabin was absolutely perfect for our long weekend! Kim was incredibly responsive and helpful with any questions that we had, and the cabin is so cozy and has every ability we were looking for, and the view off the front deck is absolutely to die for it is a million dollar view! The fire pit outback was my husbands favorite part, and the view from there was amazing too!! There's a decent amount to do in the area, we spent one day traveling out but we mostly booked the cabin so we could just enjoy the tranquility of nature and it did exactly that! Beds were comfy, water was hot, kitchen was fully stocked with everything we needed to cook, and it was amazing to wake up to the sunrise!! I highly highly recommend!

The cabin was great and the view was even better. Everything was excellent from the helpful directions to get there, to the fire pit and well stocked fire starting supplies, and to the kitchen supplies given we did a lot of cooking during our stay. Dog friendly too and my dog loved sitting on the deck and taking in the sights and smells! Highly recommend staying here.

Peaceful getaway

My husband and I wanted to take a few days away for our anniversary. This cabin was well worth going to. The view from the deck was expansive. The first evening we sat on the deck overlooking the valley. We watched as several downpours passed over portions of the valley, sun shining in other places, 5 rainbows and lighting...quite the nature show. Beds were comfortable. All you need in the kitchen. No airconditioning and our first night was very warm but the owner supplies large fans that really helped. The location was private and instructions to the cabin were great. Its not far from restaurants and area attractions like the Jon Bennet Tavern, the Flight 93 Memorial. We also ate a lunch at the Horn of Plenty restaurant. All recommended. This cabin rental was very nice and we will consider it again in the future!

Took my wife for a weekend for our anniversary. The first day we were met with some heavy fog, so our view was obscured; however, the next day when the fog cleared we were amazed at the beautiful view! The cabin is very secluded and peaceful, clean and cozy. The cabin was close enough to Bedford, Pa., so we drove there for dinner and enjoyed some of the local scenery. Overall, very satisfied!

Spectacular View!

Kim, we absolutely loved your cozy cabin and its ever-changing, spellbinding view. We spotted so much wildlife—our first glimpse of a partially white deer, turtles along the road, and birds serenading us daily. The summer garden, lush with ferns, adds a magical touch to the cabin's charm. We can’t wait to return and experience the beauty of a different season.

Perfect getaway

My husband and I had a lovely stay. The gorgeous view alone would have been plenty, but the entire place was cozy, well-furnished, comfortable, clean, charming, and quiet. Had a great time trying to spot birds in the trees with kindly provided binoculars—which was just the kind of low-key activity we were looking for. It exceeded our expectations.
