Stayed at the Vista Lodge for two nights 24-26 July. The property is fabulous. I highly recommend this property. The "tiny" houses are literally home away from home. I kept saying to my husband "this place is perfect. Way better than an a hotel." The property is conveniently located. We went to Ricketts Glen and also Bloomsburg for lunch and dinner. We did bring our own towels as others suggested and our coffee machine which worked out better than the one cup machine in the kitchen. This place is five stars.

We have returned for a second time, and with friends this time. We love these cabins, very spacious, very clean, furniture is adorable, and they're in a great location!! It's also very nice to have the outside area to have a fire, eat meals or play corn hole. We love how close it is to Ricketts Glen Falls State Park, and also Bloomsburg. We will definitely be back!! My only suggestion is the bathroom towels could be upgraded.
