Great place to stay.

Perfect place to stay for easy access to Ricketts Glen and surrounding hiking options. The home is well kept and had everything we needed. Camp fire pit outside was a big plus as well. Property manager was responsive and great to deal with. Whenever I make it back to the area I would definitely book it again.

Relaxing home to return to after day of hiking!

We loved this little cabin. It was the perfect location for us to visit Ricketts Glenn State Park for hiking, and return to what felt like a home away from home for a good night's sleep. We also enjoyed the fire pit one evening. Would recommend this enthusiastically.

Great little cottage

This cottage was perfect for my wife and I. We were celebrating our 15 year anniversary and it was super close to rickets Glenn. Very relaxing felt like we were in the middle of the woods. Wish we had more time to stay. We will definitely be coming back. Highly recommend this cottage for anyone looking to stay near rickets Glenn.

Cozy getaway

We enjoyed our stay there and the area in general. The house has all the amenities listed and then some. Host is very responsive. There is some road traffic noise and I did end up using earplugs at night. But still a great little getaway.

Perfect getaway

The cabin was a perfect size for our hiking getaway. Close to Ricketts Glen state park with amazing waterfalls. And not too far from Worlds End state park, which has a little bit more challenging rustic hikes. Cabin was clean & had all the essentials for our week. Perfect

Truly a hidden gem... If you blink, you'll miss it!

Cozy, cute, clean and quiet. This spacious cabin is ideally located near the magnificent Ricketts Glen State Park, and yet not too far out to allow for convenient access to the Wilkes Barre Scranton metro. If you are looking for an escape - a little hideaway this is a good shout! We'll furnished, and a complete enough kitchen to get the job done for the home chef with ingenuity. We will be back again, for sure!

Peaceful getaway

Peaceful getaway. Great place to kick back and relax after a day of hiking Ricketts Glen. Very close to the park. Near the highway but secluded by the surrounding wooded area. Great fire pit area outdoors with seating and screened in porch. Everything was clean and comfortable. We hope to come back again.

Great base for Ricketts Glen

This is a very nice place to stay if you're spending extended time at Ricketts Glen. The location is great, hidden away off the main road but still easily accessible. It's very well-supplied; we had everything we needed. We loved the screened back porch and the hammock, and the grill came in handy. Jessica made sure we were taken care of. We highly recommend it!
