Our family and fur babies enjoyed our long weekend away at the cabin. The cabin was very warm and welcoming the minute we walked through the door. The homemade sweet treats were an added bonus and very delicious. Peggy was very communicative throughout our booking and arrival day. Thank you for sharing your little slice of Heaven with us!

The cabin was so cozy and the perfect setting for our family to gather for Thanksgiving! We love how close it is to State Parks and feels so secluded and Peggy's bread and muffins were so delicious! We're so grateful for the memories we made at Cedarwood Lodge!

Hearing that your family getaway was a success brings back memories of wintertime at the cabin. Watching the snow fall silently in the forest while cozied up inside by the wood stove! Ah...heaven! Thank you for reviewing your stay. I hope to host your family again if a another trip to the PA Wilds is in your future. All the best - Peggy

Beautiful stay!

The cabin felt secluded but still near enough to town to easily get supplies. The only thing I wish we had was wifi, but other than that everything was perfect!

Dear Jacob - You have zeroed in on a major reason why we bought the cabin. We loved the feeling of being in the middle of nowhere but also loved the easy accessibility to civilization and shopping! The 8 acres are surrounded by forest but just 2/10ths of a mile down a unpaved lane off a PA State Route and just 4 miles north of a PA I-80 exit. Internet is currently available only on guest cell phones or devices with data. Many guests appreciate tuning out the outside world for a few days but for those that must access the internet during their stay, there is free WiFi available at the mini-mart in Penfield, PA a few miles away. I'm glad you found everything else perfect! Thank you for coming and for submitting a review of your stay. We would love to host you again if your travels bring you to the PA Wilds in the future. Best regards, Peggy

A wonderful stay in the woods of PA!

This was a lovely cabin that perfectly met our needs. It is secluded and near tons of beautiful hiking. We were so lucky to (accidentally) book around peak foliage in PA making the stay exceptionally beautiful!

Chisda - Indeed you did hit the peak of fall foliage beauty - this year was exceptionally beautiful. The forested mountains are truly breathtaking. I am so glad you enjoyed your stay and found the cabin was a great setting for your visit to the PA Wilds. Thank you for coming. You are welcome to return any time and we hope that you do! Have a great rest of the year! All the best - Peggy
