Fun Family Getaway

We had a wonderful visit! The home is beautiful, with so much natural light and beautiful views. There’s plenty to do without venturing far off the property - the hot tub, fire pit, pool table, darts, and excellent TV/audio combo made our stay so much fun. We were able to cook great meals indoors, as well. Highly recommend a visit!

Amazing Property and Host!

Could not be happier with our stay! The house is super clean and new and has everything you would expect from a quality rental. Plenty of room inside and out and also plenty of parking which we needed with our trailers. Matt is an amazing host with great communication and was very helpful in all aspects of our stay. Will stay again, 100%! Book with confidence you will not be disappointed.

50th birthday

The house was beautiful, exactly what the listing described. Very close to Knoebels. The hot tub was a blast with the TV which made it extra special. Loved having the outdoor fire pit and the outdoor barbecue. Scenery was stunning. This was a perfect secluded getaway house with all the amenities will definitely go back.

Very nice stay overall.

We liked the house and the amenities overall, however the outdoor grill definitely needs an upgrade. The entertainment room downstairs is undergoing a renovation, so it wasn’t a pleasure to spend time there. The area is very quiet and forest view is relaxing. The outdoor hot tub was great and enjoyable. Highly recommended!

Cabin in the woods

House was exactly what we were hoping for. Plenty of room inside and out for activities. Game room downstairs was very nice with pool, darts, fooseball table, and a large tv. The outdoor space was perfect for hanging out or simply enjoying a fire, or drink on the deck. There is a trail right behind the house that you can hike up. House was super clean. We would for sure go back.

Perfect Christmas Cabin Vacation

Six of us stayed in the cabin over Christmas weekend and it was the perfect "Hallmark Christmas" for us. My husband - a fantasy football enthusiast - loved all the TVs throughout the house! All the bedrooms were a great size, and there is so much natural light from the windows. Our dogs had fun running in the snow. It was too cold for the hot tub, but we appreciated that it was there. Hope to stay again when it's a little warmer! Matt was an amazing and communicative host!

Amazing house and property!

We could not have been happier with the house and experience we had! The house was very clean and had every amenity we could ask for. The hot tub was clean and worked great, and the outside fire pit area (with the lights that are hung) was great as well! The kids and I really enjoyed the game area downstairs and the pool table was very well maintained. The location was great too. We took a few short drives to Boulder Field and Lake Harmony(both about 40 minutes away) and spent a day at Knoebels (only about 20 minutes away). It was truly one of the best rental experiences we ever had. Just a super well maintained, beautiful house in the middle of the woods. Highly recommended for families or small groups. We had an amazing time and hope to visit again!

Great setup for two families with kids

Very clean, great communication. Well set up and stocked w supplies. FYI to potential future renters, the pics and description make it sound like it is very isolated, but there are other houses very close. This wasn't a problem for us, we were just surprised. There was a lot of noise from those houses bc of some construction (again, not a problem, just not what we were expecting).

A Beautiful House

This house was beautiful. It was super clean and had everything we needed to cook great meals. The spice selection was amazing and pots and pans were in great shape. Supplies were plentiful. The hot tub was great after a long day at Knoebels. There were books, games, movies, 8 tvs ( our toddler counted them), pool table , darts, foozball, and great trails. There were even some outdoor trucks that our toddler found and that was his "best" memory. The ride to Knoebels was a little long, but almost as fun as " the tail of the dragon." We also went to the Bloomsburg Children's Museum and the Yuengling Tour. This is a wonderful place to stay.

Great Getaway with trails!

My wife, her parents and I wanted a little getaway for new years, so we found this incredible house in PA. We wanted to visit the Yuengling brewery, which this place was only 25 minutes away! The whole house + property was clean, well stocked up with cooking utensils, and of course the hot tub. There is also a ATV trail right behind the house that is supposed to go up to wind mills, unfortunately it was raining during our trip - so we only made it half way with our dog. Luckily, we were able to keep ourselves busy with a few board games, pool, and a dart board while it rained. The only downside (or upside, depending how you see it) is the location of the property. It is nestled behind a few homes, with almost any store / town ~15 minute drive.

Not quite secluded

The property is very nice. However, there are a couple of other residences within a 100 yards or so. There are video surveillance cameras on every corner of the house. This would include the nice private deck and hot tub area. The surveillance cameras were undisclosed on the listing at the time we made the reservation. It appears that the host has now updated the listing. This was to be a romantic getaway with my wife, but the cameras diminished that. If you don't mind being recorded, this is a pretty nice place. I would add that the host offerred a refund if we packed up and left immediately on the evening of our arrival, unfortunately it wasn't a viable option.

About the host

Hosted by Matt Waldin

Host profile image
Born in Roanoke VA, currently residing in West Chester, PA where I run my own automotive repair business. My 9-5 keeps me busy when I'm not tending to properties. I'm an avid outdoor lover and adventure seeker.

Why they chose this property

I originally purchased this 4 acre land from the polish national church. It used to have a rec-hall, picnic pavilion and outhouses on site. After spending 5 years camping on the weekends on the land I decided that it was finally time to build something here since I absolutely love the area and it's simple charm. With the property being close to a couple of attractions I decided to make the house a bit larger to accommodate rentals. This is my first new house and it has been a very cool experience building something from scratch. If you stay, I hope you enjoy my ideas of a modern but cozy mountain retreat.

What makes this property unique

Adventure is right out the back door and the charm of small town country life is irresistible. Being tucked away in the woods offers a completely private experience.
