Nicole was great about answering any questions we had. Loved the cabin and outdoor space. Very clean & comfortable. It's in a beautiful area. Would stay here again. We were here looking to view the Elk and were not disappointed as we saw them both days just down the road from where we were.

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.

We were not there fifteen minutes when heard a bugle and saw a bull The setting of the cabin is beatiful. Cabin is comfortable and we quiet nights sleep. The fire pit is to die for. We will certainly seek a return visit if the opprotunity should arise.

We loved the location, it was perfect. I wish we had a few more days though. A large bull elk came right into the yard and started bugling. I got a few pictures and some video of him crossing the stream and heading up the hill. He had to be only 50 feet or so away. This all happened as we were getting ready to leave today.

Very nice and extremely quiet getaway. One recommendation would be to have screens for the windows to let air flow and keep out the bugs.

Visit to PA Elk country

The property was as described. We enjoyed our stay in the rustic A Frame. The location is only a short distance from the elk viewing areas. The house is located on a private drive in a quiet neighborhood. So, it was just what we were hoping for.

Peaceful Place

We love this place! It's a beautiful place to relax. The cabin was nice and clean. The bed was so comfortable. I fell asleep listening to the creek every night. We saw deer many times throughout the day. We drove in to see the elk and explored some of the trails in the area. We definitely want to come back for a longer stay.

Nice little camp!

We picked the place for the outdoor space and it did not disappoint! We hosted a large group on Saturday afternoon for our family reunion and it had everything we needed. Our only complaint was there was no hot water during our stay so we had some pretty refreshing showers! Overall we were very happy with our stay. And honestly, probably the most responsive communication I have ever had with any host on various house rental platforms!

Great getaway spot

We really enjoyed our four night stay at the A-frame cabin. It was super clean and had plenty of space for the two of us. We loved the deck and yard, and we enjoyed having a campfire each night. Nicole and Dan were very responsive to a few minor issues. Dan gave us great local tips on areas to view some elk up close. He was spot on with his recommendations and our elk viewing experience really made our trip feel complete! We also saw plenty of deer near the cabin and all over Benezette. The cabin is in a great location, not far from Route 555. It's not totally secluded but still feels very private. We rarely saw other people or cars in the area. This was our first visit to Benezette and we would gladly stay here again in the future.

Slice of Heaven

Our family wanted to enjoy some time in the Benezette area and watch wildlife. We couldn't have found a more perfect home away from home if we had tried! This cozy A-frame was perfect for our needs and was very spacious. There were plenty of deer to watch at the property and the scenic elk drive and visitors center was just minutes from the property. This well-appointed cabin was the perfect place to relax, unwind and enjoy nature at it's finest. While we cooked our own meals at the cabin, there are plenty of places nearby to dine or grab a quick bite. We loved the campfire ring near the water. If you don't want to cook in the kitchen, there is also a grill and smoker available for use. The hosts were receptive to questions and were quick to answer us our questions. Having wifi at the cabin was also a plus since there isn't cell service readily available. Enjoy this little slice of Heaven on Earth that is close to many activities yet secluded where you can rest and relax. We will definitely be returning in the future.

This place is fantastic!A quiet little cabin, by a stream, with a nice yard, surrounded by woods and one friendly neighbor. The house was very clean, comfortable, and full of everything we needed. We came, hoping to see elk, and WOW did we! Within an hour of being there we heard several bugling and one came and circled the entire yard. The second day, we were so lucky to have 14 elk come in the yard and stay for 3 and a half hours! It was an amazing experience that I will never forget!

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.
