About this property

Adventure awaits right out the back door, Discover tranquility in PA woodlands

Relax in Adirondack chairs overlooking sweeping woodland views. Keep an eye out for whitetail deer from the deck and listen for wild turkeys along the nearby trail.

This modern chalet, built in 2018, rests on four secluded acres and backs directly to 13,000 acres of state game lands, offering exceptional access to hiking, hunting, ATV riding, and outdoor adventure. After a day outside, unwind by the wood-burning fireplace in winter or enjoy evenings around the outdoor fire pits in summer.
A short drive over the mountain to Knobels makes this a perfect spot to call home.

We could not have been happier with the accomodations of the house inside and out. We enjoyed the hot tub and the fire pit at night. The kids had such a nice time making smores. The trails around the house were perfect for exploring during the day. The kitchen was amazing and we enjoyed cooking meals for our family of 9 without any problems. You cannot beat the scenery from the deck. We will be back again without a doubt. The owners are especially accomodating and were quick to respond to any questions we had. I very highly recommend if you are looking for a family get away close to Knoebels with plenty of other adventures so close by. You will not be disappointed.

Absolutely lovely secluded home. Perfect for our weekend getaway. The hot tub was great. We forgot a few things and it was only about 5 minutes to the dollar general. Check in was easy and the host was very communicative. Will be staying again hopefully when the weather is nicer!!

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.

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!

Response from VrboOwner on 2 Apr 2021
New grill is already on order for the ‘21 season. Not sure why you thought the game room was under construction, next time please refrain from smoking in the house. This is not acceptable behavior in anyone’s VRBO let alone ours.

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.

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!

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!

About the host

Hosted by Matt Waldin

Host profile image
Born in Roanoke VA, currently residing in West Chester, PA where I run my own automotive repair business. My 9-5 keeps me busy when I'm not tending to properties. I'm an avid outdoor lover and adventure seeker.

Why they chose this property

I originally purchased this 4 acre land from the polish national church. It used to have a rec-hall, picnic pavilion and outhouses on site. After spending 5 years camping on the weekends on the land I decided that it was finally time to build something here since I absolutely love the area and it's simple charm. With the property being close to a couple of attractions I decided to make the house a bit larger to accommodate rentals. This is my first new house and it has been a very cool experience building something from scratch. If you stay, I hope you enjoy my ideas of a modern but cozy mountain retreat.

What makes this property unique

Adventure is right out the back door and the charm of small town country life is irresistible. Being tucked away in the woods offers a completely private experience.
