Gorgeous place with all your creature comforts of home but secluded enough to be away from it all. We loved all the hikes and beach at Ricketts too and being close!

We loved everything about the cabin. It was clean, homey, secluded, and had everything we needed. We enjoyed the setting, bbqing on the grill and relaxing around the campfire. We have recommended this place and want to come back again.

The cabin was exactly as described in the post. The location was perfect: close to Ricketts Glen and near several restaurants for dinners. The host responded quickly to questions and concerns. We couldn't have asked for a better experience.

Great location!

We visited Rickets Glen for the first time to hike and spend time in the park. This place was perfect for our family of 5. Property was simple, clean and located close to the park and trailheads. Our children enjoyed the campfires at night after our busy days hiking. We would definitely come back again when visiting this area.

Cute cabin with a great porch!

Worked for us, just 2. Loved sitting on the porch, protects from sun and rain. Enjoyed the fire pit and outdoor seating. Clean, comfortable and well supplied kitchen. Close to beautiful hiking areas at Ricketts Glen. We enjoyed friendly service and a good dinner at Ricketts Glen Hotel. If you are into yarn or knitted items visit Falls Edge Alpaca Farm.

Fern view cabin

We loved the site. Beautiful little ferns everywhere. We spent 2-3 hours at the outdoor fire pit every evening. Log cabin was so cute and fun. Only problem...there were ants that showed up every evening. We bought some ant traps and put them in cabin.

Everything was great. The cabin was definitely tucked away. Fire pit was ready to be used, so was the grill. Everything was clean. Plenty of stuff in the kitchen to be able to use the kitchen. Top marks all around.

The cabin is simple and compact but had everything that we needed…bedrooms, bathroom, full kitchen and comfortable living room. The property is gorgeous (tree canopy and ferns as the understory) and the fire pit (with ample wood provided!) was perfect for a relaxing evening after visiting 30 waterfalls in 1 day (53 waterfalls in 3 days). The house is convenient to Ricketts Glen State Park and Red Rock Scoops, which has great ice cream with some unique flavors for a reward after our long hikes.

Beautiful cabin. Not huge, but not too small either. Very clean and well-maintained. Property is quiet and secluded, but also very close to Rickett's Glen, country store and variety of dinner options. Try the fish and chips at Crooked Creek. 10/10! Burger and waffle fries were fantastic also. Had to cut our trip short but will be coming back soon. And Jeff, the host, is a pleasure to deal with.

This place had everything you would want in a cabin. It had party lights strung up outside a huge fire pit and outdoor picnic grill. Outdoor seating on the front porch a beautiful trail in the woods. It was perfect.

Cabin

Very nice cabin in the woods. Nice fire pit we brought our own wood so we didn’t have to pay extra. Make sure you bring your own BLANKETS sheets and towels. Beds are not comfortable and bunk beds make a-lot of noise. Owner is quick to respond.
