Can't wait to stay again

We had an absolutely wonderful time during our stay. The house was great for everyone(including our dogs!). The grounds the house are on are as beautiful if not better. We spent the better part of everyday by the creek, swim hole or just roaming the beautiful property. We can't wait to return!

Cozy House with Great Amenities

We rented this property for a short stay while attending a family gathering in the area. The property was very comfortable and well-equipped. We used the outdoor grill for some meals, beds were comfortable, and outdoor deck by the creek was very peaceful. We would definitely rent again if in the area.

Peaceful getaway!

The property was beautiful view of a pond and creek, good yard for our dogs to run and play. Exceptionally quiet and peaceful if your looking to get away from loud noise. My wife and I both agree the best shower have ever taken at any place I have stayed before. Very nice accomodations and views, will stay again if up there again.

The home was very nice for our short trip to Pennsylvania for Thanksgiving. We had everything we needed and the beds were comfy. The house was warm and picturesque. After checkout, we received a strange message suggesting that we tried to tamper with the lock on their owner’s closet as they stated their lock was hard to open. We didn’t even know there was an owners closet. We live in an old house and our door locks are also always finicky. Other than that, our stay was great.

Pleasant Stay

The house has all of the amenities of home. Our college age children enjoyed trying out all of the “old school” games they have to offer. I enjoyed doing one of the jigsaw puzzles and just hanging out while my family went skiing. We’d definitely stay here again if we’re in the area.

Cozy Cabin

This sweet cabin was exactly as advertised. It's old in a completely charming way. It's minimalist (very lightly stocked kitchen) but warm. It was really nice to have a place that welcomed our dogs and the property is beautiful. We had a hiccup with communicating with the host - my email was down - and the host was beyond patient with us.

fall getaway

Nice property overall. Water level too high to fish unfortunately, but enjoy the stream regardless. Enough seating downstairs for 2 people, but would be a little crowded for a group - we would always recommend a couch and love seat vs. a couch and chair for those rainy days when you want to stretch out and watch a movie. We would recommend the property and would return to stay in the future.

Peaceful retreat

The house is cozy, comfortable, charming and peaceful. Pond and stream on the property, no neighbors and plenty of room to relax indoors as well as outdoors. The wrap around deck is great for sitting out in the sun or enjoying meals listening to the stream. Shanksville is just around the bend, hiking trails, lakes and parks within 20 minutes or less, Flight 93 Memorial is 10 minutes away. The house is charming and had everything I needed. We will definitely rent this again closer to Fall. Thanks for a wonderful and relaxing getaway.
