Amazing, forget visitor center or viewing vistas, just sit at cabin. Two huge bull elks bugled and walked by on little ridge. Cabin is awesome and very clean. What a memorable visit to Elk County.

About the host

Hosted by Nicole Meyer

Host profile image
Dan and Chris are entrepreneurs involved in a variety of businesses. Dan is a married father of two who owns his own contracting business. Chris is a married father of three who owns a stoneyard and specializes in excavating. Brothers-in-law, the two enjoy working together and opened Chicken Hill Distillery in Kersey, PA in April of 2018.

Why they chose this property

When this property became available, Dan and Chris knew they couldn't pass it up. They were the first in line to look at it and couldn't leave without buying it. They have spent this entire first summer renovating and making it as cozy as possible.

What makes this property unique

Although the cabin was purchased as a rental, the family immediately fell in love with it. It is the perfect place to spend relaxing Sundays around the campfire roasting hot dogs, making mountain pies, toasting marshmallows, and making s'mores. It has been the site of many family gatherings, and the kids love coming down to play outside and get as close as they can to the family of deer that frequent the property.
