About this property
Cook Forest-Pet Friendly-Free Firewood-A/C-Internet
Welcome to The Hemlock Haus and Cook Forest State Park. Our goal is that you have a vacation to remember. Cook Forest State park is home to the Oldest Old growth hemlock forest in the area. The state park offers many educational events throughout the summer.
The beautiful Clarion River runs through Cook Forest State park and is within walking distance from The Hemlock Haus. The Clarion River was voted most beautiful river in PA and commemorated on a stamp in 2019. Spend a lazy day enjoying river there are two canoe liveries in the area (within walking distance) that rent canoes, tubes, and kayaks.
A short drive away to Leeper, PA will take you to the rails to trails bike path. Enjoy magnificent views as you bike through tree covered paths and into the fields of PA. The trailhead in Leeper has ample parking and the trails are paved and easily enjoyed by children and adults.
We have two cabins on our property and we live next door. Mountain Mama and The Tree House (2nd story) that each sleep 6. Each cabin has a kitchen, dining area, living area, two bedrooms and a bathroom. Perfect for traveling with family or friends.
We would love to help you plan your trip to Cook Forest with insider tips and ideas. Please let us know how we can help.

About the host
Hosted by Jennifer Traugott
Almost 8 years ago our family left the bustle of DFW (and great Mexican Food) to live a quiet dream in Cook Forest. Our property came with two cabin rentals formally known as the Tree House. The Tree House Cabins were rented out by the previous owners since the 1950's. We have many years of experience in the hospitality, sales, and the business world and look forward to providing you with nicest "Southern Hospitality" during your stay. Please let us know how we can help you plan your stay, we are here to serve you.
What makes this property unique
Great for vacationing with family and friends. Vacation with your group all day and retreat to your own cabin at night for privacy and comfort.
Premier Host
They consistently provide great experiences for their guests
