Dream Ridge Lodge - Spacious, Private and Centrally Located
Welcome to the newest Lodge in the Barr Top Rentals Fleet. We acquired this wonderful location in early August 2022 and it has quickly become a favorite of our many guests since we opened.
This might be the best location for a vacation rental in the entire PA Elk Range. Less than 1 mile from Cross Scenic Overlook, 3.2 mile from Palumbo Lodge, 4 miles from Medix Run and 5 Miles from the Winslow Hill Elk Visitors Center. The lodge is situated on 9 acres, is very private and has a huge yard to enjoy. There are very few places in this remote region where you can be this close to all the main attraction and just 20 minutes from Saint Mary's (In case you forgot anything or just want a different option for dining out). Another benefit to the location is its accessibility year round. The cabin is accessed from a freshly paved and well maintained township road that also welcomes ATV riding.
We provide everything we can think of for your stay. From a fully furnished kitchen to bed linens and bath towels, we try to make your travels as easy as possible. Enjoy the spacious property and giant front and back yard. Bring the baseball gloves, frisbee or whatever you enjoy outdoors. Grill on the deck (we provide the propane) or over a fire in the back yard fire pit. (Sorry, we do not provide firewood).
Cozy up in front of the wood pellet fireplace in the winter months. Wood Pellets for heating can be purchased just about anywhere.
If you have to work while you're on vacation you're in luck. Unlike many places in the elk range, we have access to and provide free unlimited high speed internet. In Fact, we were recently upgraded to Fiber so we have amazing speed for all of your streaming, gaming or remote work needs.
We can accommodate up to 8 guests and have 4 bedrooms so everyone can have their privacy. We look forward to having you as a guest.

This was our third stay at this property. Always a great time,very clean and peaceful relaxing on back deck. We like to view the elk this time of year and this property is close to our viewing area. Great location.
Such a cute spot, with good location to benezette out of the hustle and bustle, but not too far. The house in cleanly upon arrival and communication was prompt when needed. Nice back and front yard with lots of space for activities. Been staying here for several years and enjoy it every time.
The house & prperty were clean,well maintained and lovely. We enjoyed the close proximity to area attractions. At the end of a busy day, the backyard firepit gave us the perfect relaxed place to recount our adventures!
Everything in the house exceeded our expectations. All of the rooms were clean and the kitchen was well stocked. The host responded to my query right away. I will definitely book Dream Ridge lodge the next time we come for the elk viewing experience.
The house itself was nice. Although there was some damage to some of the walls and furniture that could have been updated. Overall cleanliness was okay. Definitely some dirt and dust in the bathrooms and on some of the fixtures. The house is pet friendly however when you get there it says no pets on furniture so if your animals are used to sleeping in bed or on the couch with you at home that can be difficult to enforce.
The host returned all of my texts promptly. Answered all my questions. We all had a wonderful time. Small family getaway. 3 brothers and their spouses. The brothers all want to go back
We love staying here. The house has everything you need and is so clean and comfortable. The location is great too! I will never stay anywhere else as long as this rental is available when I am coming to Benezette.
We have rented places quite often just to get away and this is the cleanest place we've ever seen! Had a little trouble with VRBO and charging when i had to drop a couple days off of our trip but our host was PHENOMENAL taking care of things! We will be back here

Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities, communication
Close to the elk ride so we could drive the rzr there instead of trailering it and enough bedrooms for 4 couples
Great place to stay. Liked that it was all on one level as we are all senior citizens
everything was great
