Fantastic woodland getaway - family friendly

I was home by myself with my kids for the weekend and wanted to do something fun with them. We had an absolute BLAST! Let me just say… the view over the creek is GORGEOUS. It was like out of a magazine and when we arrived. I kid you not… a bald eagle flew out of the trees and soared around me and my children when we walked up to the creek, skimming the water and soaring around us. It was AMAZING.So that's how our trip began.. And it was fun times to follow with fishing, creek jumping, tubing, and good ole fashion fun.Our hosts had everything we needed, and bonus snacks out for my kids when we arrived. Which were extra bonus points for my kids.The property is private and perfectly maintained. My kids get a little rowdy so I appreciated having some privacy also peace knowing they weren't disrupting neighbors.We also brought our French bulldog Karl who also had a great time, and loved the creek.If they'll have us back, I hope to return with my husband again this summer. Thanks for a wonderful stay! 10/10 recommend.

Great location, quiet and private on a creek

40min from Knoebels and 15-20min from Rickett's Glen, a perfect fall location. There is a beautiful creek down a bank in the backyard and the entrance is hidden and private, back from the main road. Trucks are a little loud, but not annoying given the privacy. The place was clean and 'worn in' which made it comfortable and good for our small dogs. The appliances were updated and the beds were comfortable. There is a country store about 5min on left, after turning left out of the drive. We did NOT experience a bug problem. The steps are a little steep up to the front door, but the home was overall small & perfect. We did not use the front balcony (an open and closed-in section), but it would have been nice if staying longer. Very picturesque!!

Late Summer Getaway

My family wanted to visit Ricketts Glen State Park and this was a perfect place close to the park. My kids loved hanging out by the fishing creek and dining out on the back porch. The place was easy to access with great directions given by the owner. Highly recommend this unique stay.

Lovely place, great location

The house is quaint with decks on both sides, lawn all around (great for playing catch), the firepit area by the creek is peaceful. Just 20 minutes to Ricketts Glen and Lake Jean and 15 minutes to Bloomsburg. We had dinner at Turkey Hill Brewing. Finished the weekend at Knoebels. This was a great place to be away from the city for a couple days. Bruce was very responsive and welcoming.

Idyllic Property

The property is perfect! Easy to find, idyllic gardens and a very cosy living space. Very private and secluded, but close to everything you could need. The hammock is wonderful and the stream alongside the garden is beautiful. We had a family break there and found the location to be ideal - just a couple of minutes into Benton for supplies (and restaurants etc) and very close to Ricketts Glen. Great host too - clear communication from booking through our stay and even afterwards to make sure everything was perfect. Couldn’t have picked a better property!

Amazing location

We had a great time there. Mornings were so quiet and we could see lots of different birds. The place had everything we needed. It was cozy and the perfect size for us. We did go to ricketts glenn falls and they were beautiful. The towns surrounding have great places to eat and if you need to pick something up then they have stores surrounding. Bruce was very helpful with anything we needed and was a great host. Definitely a place we will be back to.
