The property owners were so amazingly kind and helpful! We were able to drop off my friend’s insulin well before check-in which provided such a peace of mind while we enjoyed our day at the PA ren faire. Will absolutely be putting this on the books as an amazing getaway!

Due to location, this was not our first choice, but since our first choice was not available, this proved to be just fine. We only stayed one night and did not make use of most of the amenities offered, but we have no complaints on what we did use.

Mostly hits, some misses

Lots of positives: very clean, comfortable, very nice deck/yard/fore pit combo. Close to some parks for hiking. V quiet area. Bathroom whirlpool was nice as well as Keurig. Misses: very fast drivers on this rural road and front evergreen obstructed clear view to exit driveway; NO TV’s!!!, soft, bouncy master queen bed; no central air made the place hot during upper 80 degree days; no dressers ! Kind of a weird mix for a rental- older furniture, very thoughtful w many details, not so much an others. A few board games, bear decorations everywhere were cute. Pretty odd that “immoral activities” are listed as being against the house rules. Won’t elaborate on that but apparently there is an assumption that there is a universally understood and accepted definition of moral vs immoral. We’d score 8.5/10.

Great location and lots of room but….

I traveled with my mother in law & sister in law. We stayed at this location for 6 days. The location is perfect! Upon entering the home you are immediately hit with a musty mold smell. I am allergic to mold & have asthma, immediately the itching & hives began. We were able to leave the back slider door open at times to help let fresh air in & help air the place out. We had to shut it at night as it was too cold. There is ceiling patch work done in the living room & bedrooms where it looks as though there was water damage at some point. The house was clean, well stocked & roomy. We were provided plenty of clean towels. We each thought our beds were comfortable. The backyard was spacious & beautiful. There is no tv provided, but we kept busy during the day & at night we played games. It was nice not to be distracted by a tv. My sister in law & I utilized the tetherball out back & tried our hands at disc golf. We did enjoy our stay. I would not tell others not to stay here, but if you’re sensitive or allergic to mold just know there is a smell of it. The bathroom in the hallway does not have a holder for the shower head so that was an issue for my older mother in law when she had to shower. There were a lot of cats who visited the house. I believe we encountered 6 different cats. We felt safe in the house. We did have an incident on our last night where a truck pulled up to the house & turned their high beams on & sat there for a couple minutes before leaving.

Quilters ….going to the show!

We didn’t realize there was no tv in the house. It was no problem, but it would be nice to have seen some news in the morning. Super nice place to stay. Beds were comfortable and the place was very clean. Lots of coffee available and creamers and sugar! I’d stay there again!

Great house and location

Lovely home , nicely decorated, nice outdoor space. Beds were comfortable, good water pressure and spacious. We did have one to four cats that visted everyday, sometimes scratching at door to get in so of you have puppers to bring be aware there are kitties. Location was close to the Wolf sanctuary, a must visit for the nightime full moon visit. Some road noise in evening on back deck but wasnt terrible. Would love to stay here again next time in PA.
