Pristine gorgeous retreat only wish we could have stayed longer!

Pristine chateaux nestled in the woods. This is a beautiful property, quiet, clean, everything is new. Matt was easily accessible when we had a question about directions. An absolutely perfect stay, thanks so much!

Jeep Trip

We booked this place as it was only a half hour from the event at AOAA we were attending. It was perfect, clean, comfortable and fit us all! We will definitely be booking here in the future for our stay.

Amazing Property and Host!

Could not be happier with our stay! The house is super clean and new and has everything you would expect from a quality rental. Plenty of room inside and out and also plenty of parking which we needed with our trailers. Matt is an amazing host with great communication and was very helpful in all aspects of our stay. Will stay again, 100%! Book with confidence you will not be disappointed.

50th birthday

The house was beautiful, exactly what the listing described. Very close to Knoebels. The hot tub was a blast with the TV which made it extra special. Loved having the outdoor fire pit and the outdoor barbecue. Scenery was stunning. This was a perfect secluded getaway house with all the amenities will definitely go back.

Cabin in the woods

House was exactly what we were hoping for. Plenty of room inside and out for activities. Game room downstairs was very nice with pool, darts, fooseball table, and a large tv. The outdoor space was perfect for hanging out or simply enjoying a fire, or drink on the deck. There is a trail right behind the house that you can hike up. House was super clean. We would for sure go back.

Amazing house and property!

We could not have been happier with the house and experience we had! The house was very clean and had every amenity we could ask for. The hot tub was clean and worked great, and the outside fire pit area (with the lights that are hung) was great as well! The kids and I really enjoyed the game area downstairs and the pool table was very well maintained. The location was great too. We took a few short drives to Boulder Field and Lake Harmony(both about 40 minutes away) and spent a day at Knoebels (only about 20 minutes away). It was truly one of the best rental experiences we ever had. Just a super well maintained, beautiful house in the middle of the woods. Highly recommended for families or small groups. We had an amazing time and hope to visit again!

June 2024 review

We travelled with 4 teenagers and our dog. We had almost fall like weather so between mornings/evenings on the back deck and fire pit, some ATV riding, a couple of hikes, our week went by pretty quickly! One thing to note, we wanted to go check out Swatara falls (about a 30-minute drive) but when we arrived at the GPS location, all the land and pull offs along the road were marked as posted and you would be towed. Since we're not that familiar with the area, we decided not to risk it. I would just say proceed at your own risk if you do decide to check this one out. ATV riding, for us, this was what the kids were most looking forward to, but we did not anticipate the rockiness of the trails in the area (more used to Rails to Trails type of riding), this is not a negative, just a heads up if you are used to smoother trails (also hard to navigate our SXS-too long). The house had everything we needed including pretty nice selection of spices, cooking wear/utensils, cleaning supplies (I appreciated having a vacuum) and the washer/dryer onsite was a huge bonus for us! As other reviewers stated, even though there are neighbors close by you still feel like you are tucked away, and you can hear the neighbors but that didn't bother us. Overall, we had a really nice stay and would recommend this place to others for sure!

Fun Family Getaway

We had a wonderful visit! The home is beautiful, with so much natural light and beautiful views. There’s plenty to do without venturing far off the property - the hot tub, fire pit, pool table, darts, and excellent TV/audio combo made our stay so much fun. We were able to cook great meals indoors, as well. Highly recommend a visit!

Very nice stay overall.

We liked the house and the amenities overall, however the outdoor grill definitely needs an upgrade. The entertainment room downstairs is undergoing a renovation, so it wasn’t a pleasure to spend time there. The area is very quiet and forest view is relaxing. The outdoor hot tub was great and enjoyable. Highly recommended!

Perfect Christmas Cabin Vacation

Six of us stayed in the cabin over Christmas weekend and it was the perfect "Hallmark Christmas" for us. My husband - a fantasy football enthusiast - loved all the TVs throughout the house! All the bedrooms were a great size, and there is so much natural light from the windows. Our dogs had fun running in the snow. It was too cold for the hot tub, but we appreciated that it was there. Hope to stay again when it's a little warmer! Matt was an amazing and communicative host!

Great setup for two families with kids

Very clean, great communication. Well set up and stocked w supplies. FYI to potential future renters, the pics and description make it sound like it is very isolated, but there are other houses very close. This wasn't a problem for us, we were just surprised. There was a lot of noise from those houses bc of some construction (again, not a problem, just not what we were expecting).

A Beautiful House

This house was beautiful. It was super clean and had everything we needed to cook great meals. The spice selection was amazing and pots and pans were in great shape. Supplies were plentiful. The hot tub was great after a long day at Knoebels. There were books, games, movies, 8 tvs ( our toddler counted them), pool table , darts, foozball, and great trails. There were even some outdoor trucks that our toddler found and that was his "best" memory. The ride to Knoebels was a little long, but almost as fun as " the tail of the dragon." We also went to the Bloomsburg Children's Museum and the Yuengling Tour. This is a wonderful place to stay.

Great Getaway with trails!

My wife, her parents and I wanted a little getaway for new years, so we found this incredible house in PA. We wanted to visit the Yuengling brewery, which this place was only 25 minutes away! The whole house + property was clean, well stocked up with cooking utensils, and of course the hot tub. There is also a ATV trail right behind the house that is supposed to go up to wind mills, unfortunately it was raining during our trip - so we only made it half way with our dog. Luckily, we were able to keep ourselves busy with a few board games, pool, and a dart board while it rained. The only downside (or upside, depending how you see it) is the location of the property. It is nestled behind a few homes, with almost any store / town ~15 minute drive.

Not quite secluded

The property is very nice. However, there are a couple of other residences within a 100 yards or so. There are video surveillance cameras on every corner of the house. This would include the nice private deck and hot tub area. The surveillance cameras were undisclosed on the listing at the time we made the reservation. It appears that the host has now updated the listing. This was to be a romantic getaway with my wife, but the cameras diminished that. If you don't mind being recorded, this is a pretty nice place. I would add that the host offerred a refund if we packed up and left immediately on the evening of our arrival, unfortunately it wasn't a viable option.

Tranquility in the woods

I cannot express enough how beautiful this home is. You can tell that Matt poured his heart into building this home. The kitchen was very well stocked from pots and pans to all the spices you could need. We loved the open floor plan on the first floor with the beautiful large windows overlooking the rear deck, hot tub and woods. The living space is very comfortable with plenty of seating and the master bedroom had the most comfortable bed I’ve ever slept in! This home is tucked back into the woods but close enough to roads for easy travel. We especially loved the hot tub and fire pit with the bistro lights surrounding the property. The easy access to the trails behind the house was an added bonus! We thoroughly enjoyed hiking and exploring the trails to see some amazing views. We hoped we could rent an ATV in the area to also explore the trails but could not find any rentals. If you have an ATV you will love the trails out back. We do have snow shoes so maybe a return trip in the winter is in our near future! We also enjoyed exploring the areas all within an hour drive of this home. We were able to visit Knoebels amusement park, Crystal Caves, Yuengling Brewery tour and Turkey Hill Brewery which I must say was our favorite and had excellent brews and food! We regret that we never made it to the mine tours which we will have to do next time! We also stopped at Kowalonek’s kielbasa shop which is only about 15 minutes from the house and had delicious smoked kielbasa and spiced bacon. We thoroughly enjoyed our mini vacation at this home which allowed us to decompress, take in some fresh air, have some laughs and just spend some quality time with family. Thank you again Matt for sharing your beautiful home with us!
