Absolutely beautiful! The house was clean and had everything we needed. The kids were always occupied and there was wildlife in the yard every single day we were there. Great place to relax and enjoy your surroundings!

Thanks for coming to Bugle Hollow Lodge. Please consider the lodge in the future when you have need of lodging for your gathering.
Gorgeous property and was the perfect location and size to host our family and friends. Being able to witness the elk grazing and resting as we came up the drive was spectacular!

Thanks for choosing Bugle Hollow Lodge! So glad you got to see elk right by the lodge. That is a highlight for our family as well.
Beautiful lodge and stunning views! Our family went away for the weekend to celebrate my dad's birthday. The rooms and bathrooms are very spacious and the kitchen open and functional for cooking and staying in! Beautiful property and we enjoyed the firepit and boys played football in the front yard. Clean, comfortable and everything you need to enjoy a stay!
If I could give this property a 6 stars, I would. We absolutely loved everything about our stay. The entire home was spotless, and the layout of the house was perfect. It was loaded with thoughtful extras that made us feel incredibly welcome! The kitchen was fully stocked with plenty of cooking utensils, pots, pans, bowls, a mixer, and even baking essentials like flour and brown sugar. It was also extremely user friendly with clearly labeled light switches and the stove fan was labeled as well. A welcome cup and card on the upstairs counter along with a small basket with essentials if you forgot deodorant or a toothbrush. The beds were comfortable with plenty of extra sheets and blankets. The basement was beautiful and did not feel like a basement at all. The porch wraps almost completely around the house with an amazing panoramic view. The wildlife viewing of this property was unforgettable. During our stay we saw a bear running through the front yard, a fox walking across the front yard, numerous deer and turkeys roaming the property, but best of all a spectacular herd of elk hanging out in the front yard the morning we were packing to leave. The property is an excellent location for local wineries and the Benezette hotel had amazing food. This home truly offers the perfect blend of top-tier hospitality, comfort and nature. Between the incredible wildlife, the thoughtful amenities, and the fantastic local dining it an absolute paradise and I would highly recommend it.
This place was PERFECT. It had everything one could wish for when visiting the Wilds of Pennsylvania. The view of the snowcapped mountains out the window when waking up each day was a bonus … almost made us feel like we were in the Rocky Mountains. We were looking for a place to celebrate my birthday with the entire family and were able to comfortably accommodate everyone (parents, children and grandkids) with enough room to let everyone have their own space but still be all together under one roof. Looking forward to visiting again during warmer weather to take advantage of the huge porch, the fire ring area and the viewing bar on the side porch overlooking the food plot.Thank you for sharing your beautiful mountain house!
This property is stunning in every way! We booked for our family Christmas because we already love the area but needed a larger place to stay. The lodge accommodations are wonderful inside and outside! Perfect layout for gatherings and the bedrooms are so cozy with amazing bathrooms! Don’t hesitate to book this one..you won’t regret it!!
Our group of friends was looking for a place to disconnect for the New Years holiday and we found the PERFECT spot at Bugle Hollow Lodge! The wildlife was amazing - Elk in the yard everyday. It was so nice to cozy up in front of the fireplace and enjoy our time together. Highly recommend!

Absolutely amazing!
Such a beautiful place, it’s absolutely gorgeous and breathtaking! Very well kept, very clean. Lots of space so if lots of people you can still get your quite or alone time. The owners check up and are easy to get ahold of for any reason! Will definitely be booking again!

Beautiful Lodge
Our family and friends joined us for a long weekend in the mountains. Everything about this house is perfect! We loved the location, the views, and the wildlife. Very spacious and roomy, we never left once we arrived. We enjoyed watching the elk and deer. Hands down this is one of the nicest and most well built houses we have ever stayed in. We all highly recommend this house to anyone looking to visit the area.
This property is well thought out and executed, in a perfect setting with beautiful views, abundant wildlife, and plenty of other activities. Our family of 10 enjoyed every minute of our stay at the Bugle Hollow Lodge. From watching the Elk and other wild life to family game nights and sitting around the fire enjoying each others' company. We left feeling totally refreshed and rejuvenated.

Amazing place!
We were attending a wedding in Sinnemahoning. It was so nice to come back to such a clean, quiet get-away at Bugle Hollow.
Wildlife to look at, and the view! Amazing. Our rooms were cozy.
Everyone had their ow bathroom, and well organized space for preparing to head out.
Thank you for the great communication on getting in, what to expect, and checking out!
Loved it!
My family (a total of 15 people) spent Easter weekend at Bugle Hollow Lodge. The house was spacious, beautiful, very clean, and well stocked with everything we needed. Communication with owner was top notch, leaving no unanswered questions and being very accommodating.
The scenery and wildlife lived up to our expectations and we saw several elk in the yard grazing. The nearby trails were scenic, challenging, and fun to hike.
While not a big deal to us, due to the location, our cell service was limited, but the house did have wifi.

Thanks Diane! Your family kept the lodge in great condition. You are welcome back again!
Do yourself a favor and stay here! Our entire group agreed that the property exceeded our expectations. The house is gorgeous and very well-appointed. And the property...just amazing...one word. ELK!!! We just sat and watched them for hours. We all agreed that we truly left our 4-day weekend feeling refreshed and energized. We will be back next year and cannot wait!
The lodge and our stay were amazing. The amenities were above and beyond right down to the make-up mirror in the bathroom like I have at home. The only thing I can think of that might be nice is a larger fridge. We only had 9 staying, but the lodge has room enough for 15. We just used our coolers for bottled water and drinks and made it work. With more people and a longer stay it would have been tough to keep everything cold. We were a few minutes late checking out and crossed paths with one of the family members that own the lodge. That was definitely a nice plus. Thank you so much for such a great place to call "home away from". It definitely checked all our boxes and then some.

Perfect in every way, Needs more than 5 stars
Everything about our stay was absolutely perfect, from the helpful friendly owners, to the clean & spotless home. Location and views are next to none. Wildlife the greatest entertainment. This placed is so well furnished and the perfect place to go and unplug. Bring your clothes and some food and you will not want to leave. Spacious and comfortable for our family (5 couples) gathering. Great gathering places and still have your private space. We have stayed in over 10 really nice homes across the country in the last 4 years, but this one tops them all ! Advise, do not roam into the feed plot areas as that could ruin the wildlife movement so close to the home.
The Bugle Hollow Lodge is beautiful. It is set in a beautiful location, it is very peaceful. The house itself has everything you need. My compliments to the decorator. Done beautifully. There was literature available to review what there is to do. We saw wildlife everyday. A bear, Elk, deer, gray fox and a Bobcat. Really did not need to leave for anything. Piece of Heaven. We are planning to return to Bugle Hollow lodge. I recommend this place. Definitely a 5 star place.
Incredible weekend at the Buggle Hollow Lodge. The hard work and love that this family have put into this place was absolutely over the top. We are so very blessed to have people in this world that would share this place with others. We spent time with family, seen LOTS of elk right outside the door (which was out of this world). Definitely renting this in the future. The owners have thought of everything to supply this place. My grandson wanted an English muffin with butter and brown sugar, Unfortunally I did not have brown sugar with but low and behold there was a container in the pantry. You made a little boy very happy. 5 Star place.
Bugle Hollow is the best place we have stayed! We had 8 adults and 4 kids. The layout is so thoughtfully done. Each family had plenty of privacy and we’re still able to enjoy being together in common areas. The owners have thought of everything. Kitchen is well stocked, even some BBQ sauce that we forgot to bring. We all enjoyed seeing wildlife everyday - deer, Turkey, possum, toads, hummingbirds, and an elk one evening! He spent about 45 minutes in the yard allowing us wonderful views and photo opportunities. Loved the covered porch area where we could view the wildlife, relax when it was very hot and be covered when it rained. Easy drive to the Elk Center and enjoyed going to the Elk Expo.
We will definitely be back - hopefully next year!

Wildlife abundant!
The wildlife we saw was absolutely incredible. Where else can you see herds of elk literally a stones throw away without driving hours to see them out west? Truly amazing. We also saw several flocks of turkeys and about 50 whitetail deer. I learned so much about elk by observing. We saw at least a dozen different bull elk, some of which had dropped their antlers. The wildlife center in Bennezette was a great supplement where we read more facts about the elk. We attended a seminar at the visitor center for the reintroduction of the American Marten. All I can say is you gotta come visit this place. You will be blown away by the wildlife. And of course the facility was amazing. No attention to detail spared on the construction. The hosts went above and beyond in customer satisfaction. I would recommend this to anyone who would like to see wildlife and enjoy the remote wilderness.

About the host
Hosted by Evonne Beiler
We are a farming family from Western New York. We raise hogs and have beef cattle and make hay. We enjoy the outdoors, and love to explore new places out west. The PA elk, so close to us, are a big draw for our family. This led us to build this vacation rental.
