Thank you so much for the kind words! I know that people want to walk in and feel like their host has helped make sure that everyone has what they need! Glad that you guys enjoyed the peace there!
The stay at the cabin was great. Everything you needed was included. The only thing I will say about our stay is we thought our dog would go up the spiral stair case and it was scared.
Really enjoyed our stay. The creek was awesome. The air conditioning was limited and was not in all bedrooms.

So glad you had a great stay! I will make sure that it is clear to guests in description that air is only in one bedroom and fans in others. Thanks again for staying!
Loved our stay here for a weekend away. The cabin was clean, well stocked, and had a ton of the extras that made our stay very enjoyable... including a super cozy dog bed that my pup spend quite a few hours snoring in. Would definitely visit again.

I'm so glad that you enjoyed your cozy weekend at our cabin. Hope to have you and your pup back for a refreshing getaway in 2025!
My wife and I spent 2 nights here with our 3 kids. Great communication with owner, who surprised us with an Easter egg hunt when we checked in on Easter night, the kids really enjoyed that. Property is well kept, has everything described and is well stocked with additional items!
This Cabin is nestled on a beautiful lot, very private with lovely access to a creek. Listening to the water in the comfortable front porch rocking chairs was very relaxing. The owner thought of so many little touches to make you right at home. I highly recommend.

Thank you! I am so glad that you enjoyed your stay and the little extra touches at the cabin!
We had days of great memory making. As a mother with adult children, it was amazing to spend time with them doing so many things we did when they were growing up. Time in the creek, hikes, picking wildflowers, bad mitton, board games, fires w/ smores and meals together. Thank you for providing the perfect setting for us all.
The property is beautiful, well equipped, and very clean. You'll have everything you could need (and some things you didnt know you needed) at your fingertips. Beth is an excellent communicator and host. We had a great stay. Should the opportunity arise to stay again, we will definitely rebook!

I love it when guests feel like they had everything that they needed! It was a pleasure hosting your family and I would love to have you back!
Our family enjoyed the cabin & amenities so much. Beth takes care of so many little details & responds quickly. Cabin is kept very clean. The creek adds so much & 2 1/2 year old great grandson & pups wanted to stay in it forever. It is so relaxing listening to it by the campfire. Hope to return!

Wonderful, quaint, and cozy cabin settled along a lovely creek. All 8 of us plus our 2 dogs had a lovely time playing lots of games, hiking, and ping pong tournaments. House has plenty of heaters, towels, kitchen pots and pans. We truly enjoyed our stay!

I’m so glad that you and your crew (furry friends included) enjoyed the cabin! I would love to have you again!
This cabin has all the comforts of home but a great location next to a creek. Our group had a great time enjoying campfires, and grilling out. The cabin feels very secluded but is only a few minutes from town.

Even though the weather was a little sketchy we made the most of our two days stay by playing cards and enjoying some great food! The cabin had everything we needed, and I highly recommend it to anyone who wants to unplug and get away for a while. My friends and I are already planning another long weekend!

I’m so glad that you were able to enjoy the cabin! I would love to have your group back again anytime!
Perfect cabin in the woods. Just enough balance of rustic and modern. I want to go back.
It’s clear so much thought went into making guests comfortable from the basket at the entrance with bug spray and towels for muddy creek shoes/feet to a beautifully stocked kitchen to the kindling and marshmallow sticks for the fire.

Meghan so glad that you liked the extras and the cabin. I want guests to have a memorable, stress-free experience at Hickory Creek Haven. Hope to have you back again this year!
This was my second stay at Hickory Creek Haven and it didn't disappoint. Owner's added a few extras since my first stay, and there is nothing you need to bring other than food and clothing. Excellent communication with the host. Super quiet and comfortable. I will be back again next year.

So glad to have repeat guests! We hope to have you back for another relaxing creek-side getaway at Hickory Creek Haven in 2025.
The cabin is adorable and very clean! Everything was as expected in the listing, no problems checking in, and check out procedures are easy. There is a road that is close, but traffic is very light and it makes running to the store or out for activities easy; the cabin still felt private. We had zero cell service (which was great for us) but as soon as you get down to the main road, probably less than a mile, there was full service. The satellite internet was consistent and strong enough to browse the web and watch some videos. Beth was very communicative. We had a peaceful time there.

It makes me so happy to hear that guests have everything that they could possibly want at Hickory Creek Haven. My mom always found us great vacation houses on VRBO when I was a kid. some of my best childhood memories were made on those trips. I am so pleased to be a part of the "memory making" business now! Bringing joy to others feels great.
Why they chose this property
Tionesta and the Allegheny National Forest area have so much to share. I wanted a home that offered guests a chance to explore on the property and venture out close by. This location allows for just that.

Who wouldn't love the sound of the creek, owls in the spring, wildlife all around and a crown of tall pines with a patch of stars peeking through?
