Hosts are very warm and accommodating. The guest quarters and common space are exceptionally well decorated and maintained. Breakfast was better than most fine hotels. Lovely outdoor space. Very convenient to Rickett's Glen park. One of the best (of many) B&B experiences I've had!

Idyllic Cabin in the Woods

Claytonna has provided an amazing stay located conveniently from Rickett's Glen State Park! The house was beautiful, and our room was clean and comfortable. Her hospitality was the cherry on top, and we enjoyed the freshly cooked breakfasts each day. I would definitely recommend this spot for anyone looking for a getaway :)

Relaxing home in the country

My husband and I really enjoyed our stay in this cute country home. Our room was comfortable, breakfast was delicious and Claytona and Dave were friendly and welcoming host. We love being outdoors so sitting on the porch and patio was a great way to relax after hiking in Rickets Glen State Park.

Great Stay at the Cottage in the Woods

We had a lovely stay in the Hummingbird suite. The property was beautiful and well cared for. We had a delicious breakfast each morning and the hosts were very welcoming and accommodating. The location was convenient for hiking and close to several restaurants. We will definitely visit again on our next trip to the area.

My friend and I came to the area to hike the waterfall loop at Ricketts Glen. We stayed one night in the Bluebird room and it was just what we needed. Spotlessly clean, very comfortable, spacious bathroom, and a lovely, welcoming hostess. There was a double bed in the main bedroom and a daybed in a small sitting room which was perfect for us. Both spaces and the bathroom had plenty of room and were very charming. There were outside spaces to make a campfire and roast s'mores if you wanted. Breakfast was served in the morning and was delicious. We loved our short visit and would most definitely stay here again!

A Wonderful Gem in the Woods

Claytonna and Dave were wonderful hosts. The cottage is absolutely lovely in gorgeous and peaceful surroundings. We enjoyed sitting on the porch in the early morning smelling, hearing and seeing the woods at daybreak! Our room was very spacious, clean and tastefully decorated. We had a great nights sleep! The breakfast was wonderful and lovingly prepared. Claytonna even went out of her way to provide extra provisions as she had picked up I might like those! In short: a great find, we will definitely return!
