Our stay was wonderful. The hosts really thought of the guests even providing hygiene/ feminine products in case forgotten. Each room was provided with a basket of towels extra blankets. The kitchen was well stocked with everything that you could think of and the cabin was decorated beautifully. I could write so much more it really was a great stay!

A Perfect Stay: Comfort, Convenience, and a Wonderful Host!

We had an absolutely fantastic experience at this property! From the moment we booked, the host was incredibly responsive and helpful, making us feel welcome and at ease. The location couldn’t have been better—close to everything we wanted to see and do, yet peaceful and relaxing. The home itself was spotless, beautifully decorated, and thoughtfully stocked with everything we could possibly need. Every detail was considered, making our stay truly comfortable and stress-free. We can’t recommend this place highly enough and would love to return!

Excellent!The booking was very easy and the host sent details quickly. Check-in involved pulling open a lockbox to get the keys - coming in the back door was not a problem since the front sliding doors can then be easily opened to bring in belongings. We found everything we would have needed to cook any meal - the kitchen had all the little utensils and tools that we often pack for less well-supplied houses. There are a lot of different lights to turn on and good AC - one downstairs and an upstairs split unit that cooled things off well on a very hot day. Close to lots of beautiful hiking and a long network of local bike trails. We enjoyed Clarion River Brewing Company and Cousin Basil’s for dinners. Fern Valley cabin is a gem!

About the host

Hosted by Kris Callen

We live near Moraine State Park, and enjoy everything outdoors.
Our family has spent our past several vacations touring our country's magnificent National and State Parks, and always stay in a short term rental.
From our experiences as guests, we strive to provide you all the necessities for a relaxing stay. From the basics of linens and soap, to flavored coffee creamers and a tie-out for your dog! You will find area information in our Guest Binder, along with a booklet you can take as a reference.

Why they chose this property

This location offers both privacy and convenience.
It is very easy to get to, and sits on an acre of ferns and pines. The surrounding homes are a mix of well-maintained seasonal and full-time homes.
If you are visiting Cook Forest, the fun park is a mere 2 minutes away, and the Visitor Center is just a 5 minute drive. If you spend the day hiking, kayaking, or go-karting, you can relax when you return to the cabin!
The property is peaceful, and you can enjoy some s'mores around the bonfire without interfering with neighbors.
We hope you choose us to host you!
