  Perfect small, secluded retreat for 2-4 people who enjoy watching birds and wildlife around the nearby pond. Clean, comfortable, well equipped and furnished. So restful and lovely.

  Pictures can be deceiving and when I stumbled across this little cabin in my HomeAway search, I really thought it was too good to be true. But upon arrival, I realized the pictures didn't do the place enough justice...it was wonderful! This little retreat was a getaway for a friend of mine and I and it was as relaxing as we hoped for. We spent our mornings going on hikes and our afternoons lounging on the deck while reading and listening to all the birds that visited the area. The cabin was well-equipped, every little detail was thought for its visitors. My favorite part was eating on the little sunporch and watching the birds visit the feeders. I have this place marked to return to soon. It was a delight in every way. Mona and Bryon are wonderful people and have curated a beautiful retreat.

  My boyfriend and I wanted to escape the noise of everyday city life, and spend some quality time enjoying all the peace and serenity nature has to offer. Mona and Bryon do an outstanding job of providing that opportunity on their property. I not only was ablet to soak in all the natural beauty with my eyes, but got many great photographs of the birds, ducks, squirrels, chipmunks, deer, and landscapes. Beyond the property is a world of nature and adventure conveniently located as well, as we were able to visit the Youghiogheny Dam, Great Allegheny Passage, Mount Davis, and Fallingwater. We cannot wait to return during another season and continue our explorations. The hospitality and privacy of Mona and Bryon is absolutely perfect!

  This was an amazing find. The hosts are fantastic... from the homeade jam and biscuits on the table when we arrived to the selection of DVDs, VHS, books and games throughout the house, our every need was definitely met. The cottage is unique and very comfortable. The view of the pond through the sunroom was beautiful. I highly recommend this rental, especially for the price in comparison with other places in the area.

  This cottage is wonderful!! We took two scenic hikes through the property and it was such a beautiful and peaceful place! Eventhough it is driving distance to town, we didn't even leave the property since there is so much to see. The hosts, Bryon and Mona, were extremely hospitable and great to chat with. We will definitely be back :)

  We had a wonderful stay. The cabin is very, very clean, the bed was very comfortable, and the kitchen was appointed with the basics we needed (we prepared all meals here). It had snowed over Christmas and the cabin was warm and so cozy! We enjoyed the glassed-in dining room (overlooking the frozen pond and snowy hillside) where we ate breakfast every morning and watched the birds. Mona and Bryon were welcoming, shared stories of their farm, and made sure we had everything we needed. The farm is beautiful and we walked through their woods which are threaded with creeks and rock outcroppings with a path leading to a waterfall. We tried cross country skiing for the first time (rented equipment at 'Route 31' ski rental) and tried the groomed trails at Kooser State Park and Laurel Ridge State Park (the concession here also rents equipment). We would like to return someday. P.S: if you are not familiar with a composting toilet, be not afraid (totally odorless!).

  This was our second stay at the Cottage at Campbell Farm and we simply love this place. It is secluded, it is peaceful, and it is set amidst trees overlooking an idyllic little pond. The cottage is pleasant and spacious and there's a big deck right outside the door. Hummingbirds arrive regularly to feeders just outside the windows and a variety of other birds come visiting--we saw cardinals, chickadees, nuthatches, woodpeckers, redwing blackbirds, even a wild turkey.Out over the pond in the summer you will also enjoy a variety of butterflies,dragonflies, and damselflies. And in the evening there are fireflies lighting up the pond and crickets and frogs to serenade you. During our first visit, we also enjoyed nearby sightseeing opportunities, but mostly we just found that we wanted to experience every possible minute in this serene and beautiful spot. Over the course of our second visit, a four-night stay, we never left the property even once.If you like the idea of a peaceful and quiet retreat from it all, we believe you will love this cottage.

  Owner response: We are so happy when guest enjoy their stay at the cottage. And, it has been very nice to have so many of them return again and again. Our website has a page that lists many of the wonderful places to visit while you are staying at the cottage. Campbell Farm borders the Casselman River and lays in the shadow of Mt. Davis, the highest point in PA and the Eastern Continental divide. The river gorges extend southern species north while the elevation holds northern species south. So, whether you enjoy wildflowers, birding, salamanders, or just being among nature, the forests, lakes, meadows and streams, or the Laurel Highlands will accommodate. When the winter brings a tracking snow those who adventure outdoors may find the tracks and stories of fisher and rabbits, bobcat and deer, otter, mink and muskrat. Come and sit by the fire and listen to the coyotes, owls and foxes night calls. We are open year round. "Come and see how restful and/or rejuvenating country life can be."

  We had the best vacation ever. The area has everything: scenery, biking, hiking, Frank Lloyd Wright sites, etc. but the best part of all was hanging out at the cottage. The owners were wonderful. Heaven on earth!

  The Cottage at Campbell Farm has the most amazing room with glass on two sides where you can look out over a beautiful yard and pond. I watched the sunset from this room every night and it was always magical. The cottage itself is well stocked with dishes, linens, pots, etc. and is very comfortable. The main bedroom is upstairs so if you have issues with stairs this place may not work for you, that said, there are very comfortable beds downstairs. There were only 2 of us, but I think 4 people in this cottage would work well. The composting toilet takes a little bit of getting used to, but I highly applaud their eco-friendly stance. From the outset Mona was very responsive and welcoming. After our first night there, she left a basket with really great rolls and raspberry jam on the doorstep. She and Bryon also left a large number of brochures on the area which were very helpful. Ohiopyle Park where there is rafting (some of the best in the country), hiking, swimming, etc. is about 20 minutes away as is Fallingwater and Kentuck Knob. This cottage is really idyllic. If you need some time to relax and get away from it all this is the place to go. It was very hot during our stay so it's possible we were outdoors slightly less than normal, but it gave me a wonderful opportunity to watch a family of chipmunks frolic for hours while many varieties of birds stopped by to check out the feeder (and one crazed squirrel). I took a walk around the property and found an interesting little graveyard where I figured out why it's called Campbell Farm. I'll be emailing Mona to get the details. It was lovely and highly recommend it.
