The cabin was wonderful. The elk were right down the road in the stream. Would highly recommend this property and the property owners are amazing and communicate quickly.
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.
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.
Stayed here for a quick weekend getaway. Beautiful and quiet place. Owners were extremely nice and even mailed me something I forgot. Great outdoor area for fire and relaxing. Will be looking to stay again.

Thank you! We appreciate the great review and kind words!
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 had a great stay in this cute A-frame cabin. We visited Benezette for elk-viewing, and the location was perfect. We even saw elk right up the road! The property was exsctly as described, with a lot of little extras available. The outside space was so refreshing! Communication was quick and clear, and check in and check out took place as described. We will return!

Hosted by Nicole Meyer

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.
