I really enjoy the low light pollution in the area which allows you to see the stars clearly at night. We came in January when it was freezing cold and snowing but it made the experience better The house was spacious with a nice living room, two nice bathrooms, a washing machine.There was a fire pit outside and a a hot tub which we did not use because of the weather. However I would love to come back and try it out one day again.

Thank you for the kind review! The winter is an especially quiet time in the area, which is great for stargazing and staying cozy inside the home. We would be happy to have you back to experience the firepit and hot tub!
Wonderful facility and location. Lots of great hiking trails with water features and scenic views in easy driving distance. The porches were excellent spots for reading and dining while enjoying the scenery and wildlife.

Sounds like a fantastic stay! We are glad you enjoyed the porches with reading and dining - you will certainly see all kinds of wildlife as well! The location is great to put you near many hiking trails and scenic views while still returning to your own peaceful retreat. Thanks for staying with us!
We absolutely loved this property and will be renting it next year when we come back out on the same weekend. The property was clean, inviting and absolutely beautiful! It was seven minutes from our family celebration and it was just perfect for our family!

The property was perfect for a quick weekend getaway. Tucked away on a quiet, deadend street. Very close to nature!

We are glad to hear you enjoyed a quiet weekend at our home! It is true there is a surplus of nature in the area - including a wonderful walking trail just behind the home. Thanks for staying with us!
We came to Hike and found this place. It has all the necessities and the hot tub was nice to come back to after a long day of hiking. Everything was as pictured.

Sounds like a great weekend of exploring and hiking! We are glad you found the cabin to have all that you needed for an enjoyable stay and could relax in the hot tub after a busy day. Thanks for staying with us!
We had a girls weekend away which had been long overdue. Paddlington Bear Cottage was the perfect place. It was quiet, very clean oasis away from home. We were not aware that the hot tub was shared with another cottage so were surprised to see other people in it at first but we had no problems sharing. Overall it was a great stay!

It's was a great stay and wonderful place
The property is very secluded and a great place to "get away from it all". The cabin was very clean and was very nice. On the way in we saw 9 deer in the field out back. Overall great place and awesome experience.

Watched a sunset from the back yard! A beautiful and quiet location, close to a couple little towns and Ohiopyle. Will definitely stay here again and will bring our bikes next time!

We are glad you enjoyed your stay with us! Paddlington is the perfect place to watch those summer sunsets. With close proximity to the Yough River and Ohiopyle, the location can't be beat!
Very nice place to stay even on a rainy weekend since the hot tub griill and firepit are under a shelter. Only complaint we had was the propane bottle for the grill was empty and there wasnt any propane for the firepit on the porch

Sounds like you made the best out of a rainy weekend at our cottage, thanks for staying with us! For the future, our local operations manager contact information is provided in your guest stay details to handle issues during your stay - such as the propane! Had you let them know the tanks were empty, they could have been replaced for you. Aside from the tanks, we are glad you enjoyed your stay!
Nice trip to Paddington bear cottage. We enjoyed the covered fire pit so much. The property is shared with other cabins. The cabin was cozy and had more room than expected.

Thank you for choosing our Paddlington Bear Cottage. It is true there are two other cabins on this property that share some common areas like the covered fire pit! So, glad you enjoyed your time with us!
We booked this place on one day's notice so I can overlook some usual amenities not being there such as soap, shampoo/conditioner, matches and other similar things that hosts usually supply. That being said, it was a wonderful place to stay. Very cozy, doggo friendly and beautiful place to spend time with easy access to Ohiopyle. We absolutely recommend staying there

Loved the fire pit!!
The cottage is very comfortable but we spent most of our time outdoors. It was a beautiful fall weekend and we spent our days biking on the GAP and spent our evenings around the fire pit. The cottage is on a beautiful spot of land. Really enjoyed our weekend and would definitely stay here again.

My family and I really enjoyed our stay. We were looking forward to spending some relaxing time with each other in a nature-setting. This was perfect. We enjoyed evening fires, beautiful sunsets, nearby hikes and whitewater rafting. We were even able to bring our dogs with us for our stay. Thank you for sharing your place with us!
