Great place . Great stay. Plenty of room for the 7 of us. Hot tub was great. Close to everything. Lake path was close. Short walk to the lake. Floats and canoe was a bonus.

Hmmm as much as your review sounds amazing - I don’t think this was meant for our place. We are not located on a lake and we don’t have a canoe - unfortunately.

Jessica, the host was extremely helpful and very easy to get a hold of. She was not kidding when she wrote “secluded”. Came in handy when our almost 3yo decided to throw a fit and scream like crazy. Lol. Even just walking up and down the main road we were able to see a ton of different wildlife which made her extremely happy and in return, made mom and dad happy. Would stay here again if the host would have us.

The kitchen was fully stocked to include seasonings. Sofa was extra large and accommodating to our family quality time conversations. Spacious rooms. Lighting was dim-mish for older eyes but there were lights every where. Fireplace added ambiance to the already cozy cabin.

About the host

Hosted by Jessica

Host profile image
Hi!
We are Jessica & Doug.
I (Jess) grew up right down the road from Ricketts Glen State Park - working at Lake Jean as a lifeguard through high school and college. I did not realize how lucky I was living so close to this little gem in PA! Once I moved away for work - I missed the area, the quiet, and the people. Once we bought a cabin to spend the weekends, we wanted to share it with others when we were not using it. We love to share the local area and great little places tucked away in Northeast PA!

Why they chose this property

Red Fox Hollow used to be a hunting camp from the 1970's.
We rehabbed the property after purchasing it to make it a great cabin for families and friends to get together in an open space.
