When staying between Nov - April some snow accumulation should be anticipated in the area. A FWD, AWD, or 4WD vehicle is best for these conditions - as driveways and roadways may have some snow cover.

We encourage all of our guests to purchase travel insurance. Ricketts Glen Falls Trail Update: On SATURDAY 3/21/26 the lower portion of the Falls Trail was opened to regular hiking for the year. It will be open from PA Route 118 up to Waters Meet. A total of 3 waterfalls are visible on this section, 4 if you include Adams Falls just south of 118. The upper loop of the Falls Trail system (everything above Waters Meet) will remain closed for another couple of weeks while ice continues to melt and staff can gain access to clear out more heavily iced areas. To access the upper portion of the trail system ice hikers still need to sign in with the park office and have the required minimum safety equipment of: Crampons (not micro-spikes), an ice axe, and rope for every individual entering. This message will be updated again as soon as the status of the upper portion of the trail changes.
Our prices include all fees. No hidden fees.

Perfect for our family of four. The size is wonderful, everything supplied for us, and clean. The space is well decorated and the property is beautiful. Landscaped well. I love seeing Beaver Pond through the tree from the porch (loved the rocking chair to read in outside too). Highly recommend for others.

The property was exactly as listed. As we enjoyed all of the surrounding activities, we only unilized the property for sleeping. However, the property had everything we would have required. Very clean. The property owner was quick to respond when we had a few pre-checkin questions. Would stay again.

I see you rated us a 6/10. It would be helpful if you could let me know what to improve on - as I can’t determine that from your review. From communication and the review it looks as though you had a great time! We hope that is the case and the 3* was an accident.

About the host

Hosted by Jessica

Host profile image
Hi!
We are Jessica & Doug.
I (Jess) grew up right down the road from Ricketts Glen State Park - working at Lake Jean as a lifeguard through high school and college. I did not realize how lucky I was living so close to this little gem in PA! Once I moved away for work - I missed the area, the quiet, and the people. Once we bought a cabin to spend the weekends, we wanted to share it with others when we were not using it. We love to share the local area and great little places tucked away in Northeast PA!
