Couldn’t ask for a better host, and the location is perfect. No other cabins or homes within site and a beautiful stream right behind it with only a 12-15min drive to Rickett’s Glenn. We will definitely go back. Thank you Marie.

Had a great time. The cabin was very accomodating and clean. The property was very peaceful and quiet. I was able to cook over the fire ring which is my favorite part of camping. Rickets Glen State Park was awesome with great trails for the dog and breath-taking waterfalls, Herbies Hideaway is a home away from home!

Peace and Quite rule this place, perfect stay. Only a few miles to a wonderful State Park. The bonus about this property is the owner is top notch and you can bring a pet which to me is 100 percent, cat or dog. Huge house with massive property for the kids and dog. The house is very well built, pride in construction and nostalgic. Enjoy

Thank you for a wonderful stay. The listing was very accurate, and the property exceeded our expectations. The high ceilings and spacious rooms were a pleasant surprise. We knew there was no Wi-Fi on the property. We also had no cell phone connection (with T-Mobile). It was wonderful to spend a few quiet days completely disconnected. Seeing the forest from every window, listening to the sound of the stream which is right behind the house, and watching the deer stroll by made for a truly memorable experience. We hope to stay again in the future.

A great family place

My daughter and I had a great birthday trip with my grandsons. It is close to Rickett’s Glen, well furnished with comfy couches and beds and a big round kitchen table. There’s a stream right behind the house and a covered picnic area.

Golf trip

Perfect getaway for peace and quiet

This property is the perfect place to get away from the hustle and bustle to enjoy some peace and quiet. Marie was one of the most responsive hosts I've experienced and was available for any questions we had. Take a walk in the woods, fish from the creek or enjoy the cozy warmth of the fire pit. I would definitely stay here again.

Great remote place

Very clean vintage place. No dust, no cobwebs, no funky smells, has central air, and Dish TV. Set far back from the road - surrounded by woods/creek on all sides. Great place to take dogs. Less than five minute drive to Ricketts Glen. Friendly and responsive host.

Dated hideaway

Marie is the sweetest host! She gave an overview of everything in the house and even looked up local attractions for us. We were looking for a place to unplug and that is exactly what we got. The interior is dated but well kept and like walking back in time. My one complaint would be that only 1 bed was comfortable. Overall a lovely stay!

Perfect hideaway!

We had a great time at Herbie's Hideaway! The dog enjoyed playing in the creek and walking around the property every day. We loved how close Rickett's Glen was and had a great time checking out the waterfalls. The rooms were spacious and the couches were comfortable. Could use more lighting in the bathroom, but that's just a minor request. Marie and Rich were great hosts and easy to communicate with. Looking forward to coming back!

So much fun!

I would say Marie’s house is a rustic cabin. It was very clean and had plenty of room. There is a nice round table in the kitchen and we played games. There is plenty of comfortable seating in the living room. The outside was very beautiful at the house. We had a great time hiking at Ricketts Glen. There is a nice little brewery called Five Mountain in Shickshinny PA. The food there was great and the people were nice. It was a really nice trip. Thank you Marie!
