Charming Cabin - Wake up to the Epic Views, Stay for the Convenience

Welcome to our cabin! Whether relaxing indoors or enjoying the amazing view from the back porch, guests can enjoy the blend of cozy, rustic charm and modern comfort. It's the perfect spot for those who want to “get away” but value being close to everything!

Experience authentic cabin life with an unexpected touch of privacy. Our loft area features two bedroom areas, separated by a solid door. This unique setup means that you can enjoy a little individual downtime; each room comes equipped with its own TV.

Guests will find a rustic bathroom that showcases reclaimed wood. The flooring consists of marble tile. Our spacious walk-in shower features a rainfall showerhead. Soft towels are provided for guest comfort.

Our kitchen is fully stocked with the essential tools and basics you’ll need to whip up a home-cooked meal, including pots, pans, plates, and cutlery. While we provide the foundational equipment and a starter set of basics, please plan to bring any specialty gadgets or specific pantry ingredients required for making your favorite amazing meals during your stay. Start your mornings effortlessly with our Keurig coffee station. We provide a curated selection of starter K cups, creamers, and sweeteners so you can enjoy a fresh cup of coffee the moment you wake up.

The cabin stays comfortable year-round with heat/AC.
Unwind in style on the back porch, where nature meets entertainment with our outdoor TV. Experience the ultimate game day or an evening movie night under the stars. Our outdoor TV setup allows you to enjoy your favorite shows without leaving the beauty of the outdoors.

Our cabin is just a short drive to Shermans Dale, Carlisle (Approximately 6 miles to the Carlisle Fairgrounds) and Mechanicsburg. We are ideally situated for easy access, which means some traffic noise is audible at times. To ensure a restful stay, we provide white noise machines for your convenience.
We hope you enjoy your time at our cabin as much as we do!
