SOME OF OUR FAVORITE GUEST REVIEWS:



"This was truly one of the best stays in PA. Everything was exactly as described. It was so quiet and cozy. The views were also amazing. The best part was the private waterfront, It was absolutely amazing and definitely peaceful. I cannot wait to return in the summer and go swimming! The fire pit was also amazing, it has a stellar view. The beds were comfortable. The house was literally spotless. They had every utensils you can think of. I love that they also provided toys for the kids and wood for the fireplace/ fire pit. The sunroom was also a favorite. It was so warm and cozy. The view from there is also astonishing! I’ll definitely be back in the summer!" - Jamel L.



"Our stay at Cliffside Cottage was wonderful! We were in the area to celebrate our anniversary and this home provided such a peaceful and relaxed atmosphere for us to have a nice romantic getaway. Wander Home provided excellent communication with us. It was easy to find the place and check in. We were given local recommendations and everything was in good order in the home. The house was clean and spacious. The views were spectacular - despite it being snowy we were able to climb the stairway down to the creek below. If we visit the area again, we would definitely staying here again. We highly recommend it!" - Sarah B.
