About this property

Old Elk Country Store - Benezette Twp








Occupancy Note: While he home can accommodate up to 8 guests, reservations with more than 6 adults require prior host approval and are evaluated on a case by case basis.

Right on the Creek! Right on the ATV Trails! Right on the Horse/Hiking/Biking Trail! Right in the Heart of Elk Country! Ride, hike, float, swim, fish, hunt or just kick back, relax and enjoy the mountain views and the sound of the Bennett Branch flowing by while you enjoy a cold beverage around the fire pit. Forgot your beverage? No problem, the local pub is just across the road. We have 4 BRs, 2 BAs, 3 living areas, plenty of dining space, an awesome vintage metal kitchen, laundry and plenty of porch space to rock back, relax and enjoy! Don't be surprised if a herd of elk wander through the property, up the creek or graze in the fields on the other side.
Important Notes for Guest: Parking: The driveway is bumpy, take it slow. Do not park in front of the house. There is extra parking creekside of the garage.
Steps/outdoors: Property includes typical outdoor steps/terrain-please use caution. House in very rural area: occasional bugs or critters may get in despite pest control.

Lovely old country store

If you love historic places & the idea of staying in an old country store, then this is the perfect place. Conveniently located, beautiful setting. Very comfortable accommodations. Best part we watched cows & a bull elk our first night there right in the back yard! It was amazing. All around recommend;)

Very nice, well kept house and property. Large comfortable bedrooms. Lots of space in general. There Could have been a more handicap accessible outside entrance that was allowed use. Too many messages from property owner. Cameras on property not disclosed on booking site.

Response from VrboOwner on 16 Nov 2025
Thanks for your stay and leaving the house clean. The house has two exterior security cameras and a ring doorbell for security and safety. A recent VRBO update removed the note; it has now been restored. The front double doors are step-free and wheelchair accessible and one bedroom is on that level for easier mobility access. For future guest, timely communication-especially regarding any concerns and the correct number of guest-is very important. Limited communication and last minute changes create avoidable stress during the stay. Clear and accurate information helps us ensure a smooth and comfortable experience for everyone.

Very comfortable home!

We enjoyed a wonderful stay at this very comfortable, spacious home. Bedrooms are huge and beds are so comfortable. Kitchen has cooking amenities galore! Great cupboard space. Living room is terrific for a big family to sit and enjoy visiting, TV or games. Table was perfect for large family dinners. Thank you for making our family trip to Benezette a fantastic time together!!

Great place to stay

The house was exactly what we were looking for. Step outside and go fishing in a stocked stream. We had a slight issue with the WiFi when we got there but it was quickly resolved by the owners. It's close to the visitor center and to the other parks in the area to explore. None of us had cell service at the house so we had to solely rely on the WiFi.

Wonderful Place!

We loved the house and how roomy and comfy it was for seven adults. Everyone could have their own space when needed. It is beautifully decorated with very nice furniture. Plenty of seats and a nice table for eating and playing games. You hear some traffic noise, but we knew the location and expected it. There are so many things to do in the area and never enough time to see it all. Thank you for sharing your place.

Simply Outstanding!!!

This was one of the finest vacation homes we've ever experienced -- and we're seniors. This home was extremely clean and very well furnished and decorated. It had everything that we could have possibly needed, and more. We had five people in our party, but there was plenty of space to have our private time. This home is very spacious and could easily have handled ten people. There are three sitting areas with three flat screen TVs. The outside BBQ grill was brand new with a full tank of propane. The front porch was nice for watching the tourist. Walk across the street and you can have lunch or dinner inside or out with your favorite adult beverage. This is everything and more than what was listed on the web site. Very convenient location for traveling to the Straub Brewery, which has excellent German food, but call for hours first. Easy trip from there to the Kinzua Viaduct and Visitor Station. Lots of wineries and hiking trails -- but don't forget the elk at dawn and dusk. With all of the things to see and do, it was always refreshing to return to the comfort of our vacation home.

Great weekend in the woods

The property is a nice rustic experience. There are so many trees and a creek in the backyard. It's also within an hour to many great hikes and nature activities. Beds and couches were so comfortable. We all slept really well. There's plenty of games, tvs and WIFI, as well. We talked about coming back!
