We enjoyed our stay at Falls Edge so much! We spent 2 days hiking at Ricketts Glen so the location was perfect. The alpacas, chickens, ducks & kitties provided entertainment while at the house. The hosts were also extremely nice and fun to talk to.
Highly recommend this place.
My husband and I thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Falls Edge Farm Cottage. We wanted a place close to Ricketts Glen State Park and we got that and so much more!The owners Elaine and Patrick were friendly and accommodating and the boutique and winery on the premises were wonderful. We also loved the natural surroundings and had fun observing the animals on the property. The cottage was very clean and comfortable, the kitchen was great and the refrigerator held 4 perfect farm fresh eggs:)We will definitely return when we want to do more hiking in the area!
The house was beautiful. Everything looked brand new. It’s was very comfortable, quiet, and well stocked. We cooked all of our meals there including using the grill. We had a really great time spending a few days there with our friends. I definitely recommend this property.

Thank you so much for your kind review! We are so glad you enjoyed the property. We would definitely welcome you back anytime for a visit.
Property owners are so kind and accommodating and easily available. Felt like home, yet with the excitement of being away. Place was clean and fresh. Girls loved petting the alpaca and the on-site alpaca store is a cool bonus! Also loved the farm fresh eggs available for purchase! Quiet and full of nature! Thank you for sharing your property!
fresh eggs for purchase!

Overall, it's a pleasant stay and the owners were very friendly. The place was very quite located in the forest and within short distance to the Ricketts Glen Park. The house is very clean and well maintained. The only thing I can complain about is that the internet is satellite in this remote area and speed is a bit slow, but the Dish TV signal is quite good.

About the host
Hosted by Elaine DiGirolamo
We moved onto this property in 2008 and owned and operated a full scale Alpaca farm along with dogs, cats and chickens and a Full scale fiber processing mill and Boutique right here on the property. In 2010 We had the Cottage/in-law suite added onto the main house. Although we no longer have a working farm and mill we still have chickens, cats dogs and the boutique. We now host a wide verity of natural wildlife from deer, turkey, chipmunks, opossums, fox, wolf, coyote and occasionally we spot bear.
Why they chose this property
Life can be hectic and sometimes you just need space! We lived in the outskirts of Philadelphia for all our lives and just wanted to get out of the hustle of the daily grind. We both love being in the woods and figured Why not. Our little cottage is quite and remote. Our entrance driveway is off the beaten path into the woods and during your stay you can just relax and enjoy nature. The Owners are on premises should you need anything but otherwise you are left alone.
What makes this property unique
When we first walked this property we fell in love with the area and the fact that we could place the house off the road and be remote. Just a trip to our mail box is a workout. From our house out the driveway and up the road on the left to the stop sign and back is a 3.5 mile walk which is peaceful and the view of the mountain on the return is beautiful.
