Benton is a quaint little area and the mountains are beautiful . The house was clean and the owner responsive. The creek is a very nice feature. The antique stores nearby are amazing and the Penn state creamery ice cream is scrumptious. The only critique is that there is no wood burning fire pit on the property so if you rent when it is cold it will be hard to sit outside for long. I would recommend creating a fire pit area or asking the owner if you can bring your own mobile fire pit.

Thank you for the feedback. However, the beds are only 6 months old - I will check the frames to make sure there are no issues there.

This review is ridiculous. There are two sets of pillows - full and standard. I don’t know what you trying to convey about the floors. It is a very nice property as anyone can see by the pictures and reviews. However, it is not the Four Seasons nor is it priced that way.

Just as advertised, charming little place by a creek where you can fish or watch the eagle grab a fish for himself. It was the perfect place to watch my daughter and dogs run around and have fun.

Late Summer Getaway

My family wanted to visit Ricketts Glen State Park and this was a perfect place close to the park. My kids loved hanging out by the fishing creek and dining out on the back porch. The place was easy to access with great directions given by the owner. Highly recommend this unique stay.

Great remote getaway!

I love the location! No neighbors and right on the creek! The lot is spacious and the house was perfect for our family. It had everything we needed. I would definitely want to stay here again in the future.

Beautiful scenery and great location to Knoebles and Ricketts Glenn. The only thing i had a slight issue with was i was charged a 200 pet fee 3 days into my stay at a pet friendly rental.

Lovely, comfortable home on natural stream

We loved this house, deck, and lush yard and surroundings visible through lots of windows. Easy access on scenic state route, close to Ricketts Glen and covered bridges, antiquing, farm stands, and more. Hope to return!

Visiting family

We were visiting our son while he was at Job Corp. the area is gorgeous if you live the outdoors like us. The creek was beautiful and the hammock out back was perfect. Updated appliances in kitchen. It had all the things we needed at a great price.

Great time fishing and in nature!

What a great escape. This house sits right on a fishing creek which provided my first eagle sighting - 2 in fact while relaxing in the hammock…Fantastic! Took in the falls at Ricketts Glen, antique shopping in Benton and of course some fishing. Will definitely be back for some golf at Mills Race public golf course right down the road.

Lovely place, great location

The house is quaint with decks on both sides, lawn all around (great for playing catch), the firepit area by the creek is peaceful. Just 20 minutes to Ricketts Glen and Lake Jean and 15 minutes to Bloomsburg. We had dinner at Turkey Hill Brewing. Finished the weekend at Knoebels. This was a great place to be away from the city for a couple days. Bruce was very responsive and welcoming.
