Family weekend in the forest

We had a terrific long weekend at Theresa and Jay's cabin in the forest. There was plenty of room inside for everyone and a great front porch for hanging out. This is a great spot for an outdoor-themed stay in the forest and mountains of central Pa.

Wonderful stay - everything was perfect

Had a perfect stay at the Peaceful Escape in the Woods. It’s rare when everything is as expected and even more so when it exceeds expectations. We had a wonderful stay, everything was as advertised and everything was functional. Very clean and comfortable and the owners communication was superior and friendly. I gues the best review would be the answer to “would you stay there again” and our answer is a resounding YES!

Heaven on Earth

This was our third time staying here and each time is even better than the last. We stayed for two whole weeks this time. Theresa is the best hostess I have ever dealt with. She even left us a gift to add to our enjoyment. The place is always clean and there is always some firewood for us to use. It is so quiet and peaceful. Such a beautiful place to go to get away from the Hussle and bussle.

Peaceful and quiet!

We had a great vacation at Jay and Theresa's property! We seen a lot of deer and even a few bear. The property is out there so there wasn't any phone service in the immediate area but they had a land line set up for emergencies. I enjoyed being unplugged for the week. There is a lot to do in the area if you enjoy the outdoors.

Incredible.

We were so lucky to find this property to rent for the weekend. My husband ran in the Eastern States 100 miler race and we needed a spot that would help us crew him but also support my 3 very young daughters. This place was beautiful, supportive, clean and everything you could need. We felt so taken care of from the owners and they were so helpful during this stressful weekend for us. We would absolutely come back! Thank you so much for your thoughtfulness and support. Much love.

A Great Place to Get Away

It was perfect! Our family stayed for a week and it was just what we needed. The property has plenty of land and is near an abundance of parks, trails and hunting ground. Our dogs loved it! The house itself is well furnished and cozy. A perfect place to return and warm up after a day of hiking. If you like being outdoors or just want to get away from the world a bit and read by a fire, this is a good place to do it.

Peace and tranquility

We just left this cabin and I couldn't wait to leave a review. If you are looking for peace and quiet this is the place to go. It sits on top of a mountain with little or no vehicle activity. No one travels down the road it's off of unless they live around there. Neighbors are few and far between. There are no words to describe how quiet it is at night while sitting on the back deck or under the front porch in the morning. The fire pit is huge for rotating marshmallows or hot dogs etc. The inside is big and bright and beautiful with all the comforts of home. The indoor fire place is really nice for the cooler evenings. We felt right at home. Theresa is a wonderful hostess. She answered all my questions and was very accommodating for all our needs. She went over and beyond for us even before we were due to go there. We would highly recommend this home away from home for anyone. Plenty of room for families, friends or couples for a romantic getaway. All thanks and blessings for Theresa and her family. We will definitely be back.

Hi there!
I'm Theresa Curcio, a Registered Nurse working in the Recovery Room at Lancaster General Hospital, Penn Medicine. My husband, Jay, is a Manager for Richard Wolf, where he works in surgical device sales. Together, we have five wonderful children, ranging in age from 21 to 31, and two awesome dogs who complete our family.

Our cabin holds a special place in our hearts, filled with years of family memories. It's our peaceful retreat and a source of pure joy, and we hope it brings you the same sense of tranquility and happiness during your stay.

Why they chose this property

We chose this location because it offers the perfect escape from the hustle and bustle of everyday life. Nestled in the woods, the cabin provides a peaceful and serene environment where you can truly disconnect and recharge. The tranquility of the area, combined with the beauty of nature, makes it a special retreat that always leaves us feeling refreshed and rejuvenated. We wanted a place where we could enjoy the slower pace of life, surrounded by the sounds of the forest, and we're so glad we found it here.

What makes this property unique

Our cabin is truly unique because it offers a rare combination of privacy, tranquility, and space. Set on 11 acres of secluded woodland, it provides complete peace away from the hustle and bustle, yet has all the comforts of home. With its cozy wood-burning fireplace, spacious deck, and room to accommodate larger groups, it’s perfect for families or friends looking to reconnect with nature. The cabin's ability to feel like a true escape while still offering modern amenities makes it a one-of-a-kind retreat that brings both relaxation and joy.
