Cabin in the woods

We loved our time at the cabin! The house was clean and tidy when we arrived. The kitchen was stocked with all the cookware we needed. The views from the house are incredible. It was so nice to sit out on the deck during the day and enjoy the fire at night. This was the perfect lil getaway for a long weekend.

This location has a beautiful view and secluded to enjoy privacy and quiet. I was a little concerned about no a/c as we had a heat wave during our stay but there was always a breeze going so it was very comfortable to sleep with windows open and a fan on. The only reason for not giving all 5 stars is due to some minor things (missing blow dryer, empty soap containers and blown lightbulbs). The host was contacted and feedback was well received. This was likely caused due to a change in housekeepers. Also, the host had very good response time even though she was out of the country. Overall the trip was just what we wanted…. Time to get away from the daily grind, relax and reset.

Peaceful getaway

My husband and I wanted to take a few days away for our anniversary. This cabin was well worth going to. The view from the deck was expansive. The first evening we sat on the deck overlooking the valley. We watched as several downpours passed over portions of the valley, sun shining in other places, 5 rainbows and lighting...quite the nature show. Beds were comfortable. All you need in the kitchen. No airconditioning and our first night was very warm but the owner supplies large fans that really helped. The location was private and instructions to the cabin were great. Its not far from restaurants and area attractions like the Jon Bennet Tavern, the Flight 93 Memorial. We also ate a lunch at the Horn of Plenty restaurant. All recommended. This cabin rental was very nice and we will consider it again in the future!

Took my wife for a weekend for our anniversary. The first day we were met with some heavy fog, so our view was obscured; however, the next day when the fog cleared we were amazed at the beautiful view! The cabin is very secluded and peaceful, clean and cozy. The cabin was close enough to Bedford, Pa., so we drove there for dinner and enjoyed some of the local scenery. Overall, very satisfied!

Spectacular View!

Kim, we absolutely loved your cozy cabin and its ever-changing, spellbinding view. We spotted so much wildlife—our first glimpse of a partially white deer, turtles along the road, and birds serenading us daily. The summer garden, lush with ferns, adds a magical touch to the cabin's charm. We can’t wait to return and experience the beauty of a different season.

Perfect getaway

My husband and I had a lovely stay. The gorgeous view alone would have been plenty, but the entire place was cozy, well-furnished, comfortable, clean, charming, and quiet. Had a great time trying to spot birds in the trees with kindly provided binoculars—which was just the kind of low-key activity we were looking for. It exceeded our expectations.
