Diamond Jane's cabin was truly a blessing for my daughter and I on our trip. The cabin was very clean and accommodating for our weekend. The Host's were spot on, on what renters are looking for and we could not have asked for anything more. Truly a great getaway spot!
This was the most convenient and high quality place we have stayed near Ricketts Glen in the 48 years we have been hiking the trail. We plan to return for every visit!

So glad that you were finally able to enjoy the cabin after many years of your husband and the 'guys' coming back annually to enjoy! Look forward to having you back!
A classic, very comfortable, and well-kept cabin. It's just a few minutes drive to Ricketts Glen. The owners are helpful and responsive. We'll be back.

We had an absolutely wonderful stay at this cabin! Brian and Stephanie have created such a beautiful and welcoming retreat. The cabin was spotless upon arrival and decorated so thoughtfully—it felt cozy, charming, and immediately like home.One of our favorite features was the creek beside the cabin. The peaceful sound of the flowing water created the perfect ambiance for relaxing and enjoying nature. Whether sitting outside with a morning coffee or unwinding in the evening, the setting was incredibly serene.It's clear that Brian and Stephanie take great pride in their property and care about their guests' experience. We highly recommend this cabin to anyone looking for a peaceful getaway, and we would gladly stay here again!

So glad you enjoyed your birthday get-away at our cabin! Hoping to see you for many more!
Warm and Cozy, welcoming environment. Comfortable amenities while still having the feeling of a cabin in the woods. Brian and Stephanie are wonderful hosts and we can't wait to come back.
The cabin was beautiful and very well maintained. The hosts were easy to communicate with and provided everything need for a wonderful stay. We would definitely recommend this place!
The cabin was clean and very well maintained. It was very cozy in the cold January weather although we did not have the opportunity to use the fireplace. Maybe next time! It's also located in a terrific location near the park. We may visit again sometime if the opportunity arises.
The cabin is the ideal location to enjoy Ricketts Glen park. We also loved the cabin itself. The craftsmanship is beautiful, the cabin is well-equipped, VERY clean, comfortable and the hosts are the best we've ever encountered. This place is great for family or a couple like us looking for a quiet place to unplug and enjoy nature.
The cabin was a dream come true for us. My husband and I wanted to get away and stay where there would be a fireplace and this cabin was perfect. It was clean, warm and has a full kitchen with everything you would need. So cozy we didn’t want to leave. Our hosts communicated with us the whole time and made sure we had everything we needed. A wonderful experience overall.
Beautiful cabin.. great location.. close to everything we like to do... Would definitely go back!

About the host
Hosted by Brian and Stephanie
Brian O'Keefe is a local business owner for 40 years and owns Mooretown Sawmill and Mooretown Timbers and Beams, LLC as well as several rental properties in the local mountain area. Born and raised in Mooretown, Brian had a dream of carving out the land and creating a successful sawmill.
His dream became a reality in 1987. Mooretown Mill is located in the beautiful mountains of Northeast Pa. near the unforgettable Rickett's Glen State Park. Here at Mooretown, we use local timber to produce a quality product. In 2015, we started our timber frame company.
That same product and craftsmanship can be found in this cozy cabin and in all of Brian's rental properties producing a beautiful rustic feel. He takes great pride in the quality of his work and enjoys sharing that with others.
All of our renters will tell you that we will go out of our way to ensure your stay is unforgettable.
In his spare time (if any) he enjoys working on his next project (an event venue at Palace Park), jaunts on his KTM motorcycle, and is an active member in many organizations dealing with educating the youth of PA in the logging industry; his passion and joy.
