The cabin was perfect for a weekend getaway. It is clean, and the hosts have thought of everything. With lots of special touches. Sitting by the stream feels like you are in a Hallmark movies with the flowers, hummingbirds, butterflies, birds and the cutest kittens that like to play or curl up in your lap. Amazing stay! We can’t wait to return.

An absolutely fantastic place to relax and unwind. Pure 10 out of 10. The care and commitment the owners show for the property shines through. The property is well maintained, the cabin was VERY clean and stocked with everything one might need, the location is unbelievable, and the owners are fantastic! And, who could forget the entertainment provided by the "cat welcoming committee", namely, Jack and Jill. Absolutely adorable! We can't wait to come back to this gem location in Ohiopyle, PA!Corey and Candy

This place is a gem! It's hidden down a small road along a stream near Ohiopyle State Park on a very quiet, well maintained property. The unit is very clean, with a well appointed kitchen. The owners were very nice and responsive. We're looking forward to visiting again!

In various areas (coffee and beverage choices) there was more than expected. Was fine for one, but might be a bit cramped for two in the bed and bath area.Carrying luggage up and down the steps could be a challenge.

Wonderful, cozy, serene stay! The owners were kind and communicated well. Bonus of 2 outdoor cats who were very friendly! Location was perfect for all activities around Ohiopyle. I appreciated the drinks, coffee, and bathroom toiletries provided. This place is probably best for a couple. I travelled with my 18 year old son, and the couch was not long enough for him. So I gave him the bed, and I slept on the couch. It worked, but just a helpful bit of information. I would stay here again if was in the area

My fiancée and I truly enjoyed our weekend stay at this property. It was peaceful and quiet while still being close enough to all of the key places we wanted to visit. We greatly appreciated the toiletries that were provided! Everything was VERY clean, and we didn't experience any issues during our stay. Would definitely recommend!
