About this property

Creek-Side Living In The Pennsylvania Elk Range

Sitting at the end of a quiet country lane, only yards from the water's edge, Camp Eagle's Nest is a peaceful haven with spectacular views of the mountains as well as the Driftwood branch of the Sinnemahoning Creek. This 3 bedroom, 2 bath cabin can accommodate a family looking for an escape from their everyday routine, or is cozy enough for a couple seeking a romantic retreat. Outdoors enthusiasts will enjoy the close proximity of trout streams and state forest lands.

Nestled in the Pennsylvania Elk Range, Camp Eagle's Nest is a perfect location for elk watchers, anglers, hunters, bird watchers, and nature enthusiasts. Whether you are canoeing the Sinnemahoning, looking for elk sheds, watching for the frequently sighted bald eagle, golfing at the Emporium Country Club, hiking one of the many nearby trails or just breathing in the mountain air, Camp Eagle's Nest truly embodies what a "getaway" should be.

Renovated extensively, the owners wanted to make the interior of Camp Eagle's Nest is an immersion in nature as well. Using trees harvested in Pennsylvania, each room has a unique ambiance. To bring the outdoors inside, the owners carefully chose decor with rustic detail such as the stone work on the fireplace with a live edge mantel, decorative game mounts, and live edge trim throughout the cabin.

Though the feel of the cabin is rustic, guests will still have all of the modern amenities they enjoy at home such as a fully-stocked, modern kitchen, a washer and dryer, WiFi and cable television.

We would love for you to join as for your next vacation, and experience a true "getaway!"

Great for a quiet Weekend getaway
This property is extremely neat and clean! The dinning room with the windows facing the river was our absolute favorite part! Beautiful even in the dead of winter! This property is not too far from some local bars that are super welcoming and all have wonderful food! We can’t wait to try out this place in the warmer months too!

Elk Getaway
Lovely, quaint cottage away from busy everyday life. A short drive to plenty of elk, eagles visited everyday on river at your back door. Very nice small town bar- restaurant down the road 10 minutes away. Some businesses are seasonal, but we had no problem finding good food in the area. The cottage is furnished with a very nice updated kitchen if you just want to stay and chill cook your own meals. The owner is very nice and on top of any problem that may arise. My wife is already talking about a return stay. Told he we have to go back because we forgot to sign the register book. Great price and everything you need for a quiet getaway.

Elk viewing
We had a good weekend and saw several elk. We would have preferred a cabin in the woods and a bit closer to Benezette, but it was a nice rental. With the exception of the windowsills and blinds it was quite clean. I’m very picky as we used to have a bed & breakfast.

Cozy, Clean, and Relaxing!
This property exceeded my expectations. From the photos, I expected the rooms to be small but there was plenty of space. The kitchen was fully stocked with dishes and pots/pans. It was secluded enough to where there was very minimal traffic but close enough (30 min max) to Emporium and Benezette so we were able to get everything we needed. Although it was too cold to go in, the noise from the creek was very relaxing and peaceful. Can't wait to visit again! Note: If your vehicle is 4-wheel drive capable, I recommend driving up and visiting the "Top of the World" and "Fred Woods Trail". There's no GPS signal so directions are: Take a right, cross the bridge, cross the railroad tracks, and immediately take a left onto Mason Hill Rd. Now, this road is nicknamed Suicide Slope so do not attempt to drive this when it's wet, without 4-wheel drive, if you're under the influence, or in the winter. This road is one lane and whoever is on the mountain-side (not drop-off side) will need to pull over and yield to oncoming traffic. You'll go up for a while, veer slightly left, and then you'll eventually hit Fred Woods Trail (trail on right, parking lef). It can be muddy but is very beautiful (the hike is between 4-5 miles total). If you continue straight, eventually the overlook will be on your left. When leaving the overlook, turn left, continue straight (for a while) and you'll reach the other end of Mason Hill Rd. Turn left and you'll loop back to the property in about 20-30 minutes.

About the host

Hosted by Bryan Lukehart & Jennifer Helman

Host profile image
An unlikely pair, Bryan grew up in Marion Center, Pennsylvania where he was raised on the family farm, tending to fields, and hunting and fishing when he got the chance; Jennifer grew up in the suburbs of Pittsburgh, and when she came to Indiana County, PA to attend IUP, she fell in love with the outdoors and never left the area.

Bryan's family has a camp on Wolf Lick, and since he was a child, Bryan grew up fishing the streams in Elk Country, and hunting bear and whitetail deer in the abundant State Game and Forest Lands. Needless to say, Bryan's roots as an outdoorsman run deep, and still today, he is an avid fisherman, hunter, and trapper.

Almost a decade ago, Jennifer was introduced to Elk Country by Bryan's dad, Ed, and the two have put on countless miles photographing elk and sightseeing. Despite growing up in the city, Jennifer developed a deep love for the outdoors, she is an avid trail runner and hiker, and also likes to hunt and fish.

Why they chose this property

In July of 2015, Bryan saw a sign along PA Highway 120 that said “property for sale.” This property was one that Bryan and his children were familiar with from their fishing expeditions around Elk and Cameron Counties. The cabin and separate bait shop, named “Anther’s Treasure,” positioned only yards from the Driftwood Branch of the Sinnemahoning Creek, were up for sale. We jumped in with both feet! Seven months of renovation turned this 100 year old house into a rustic, yet refined, retreat for any outdoors enthusiast.

During the renovation we were struggling for a name for our newest getaway, when we started spotting a golden eagle and an adult bald eagle in the area. Hence, Camp Eagle’s Nest was born!

What makes this property unique

This cabin could not be in a better location! Sitting at the end of a dead-end country road and only yards from the banks of the Driftwood Branch of the Sinnemahoning Creek, Camp Eagle's Nest is the perfect spot if you are looking for seclusion. Cameron County is known as the "Land of Endless Mountains" and for good reason! Camp Eagle's Nest offers stunning mountain views from every point on the property. The "Eagle Room," as we call it, is the perfect place to eat breakfast and watch for wildlife.
