The home was lovely and perfect for our family trip with 2 small children and 2 dogs. The home was clean and spacious and any instructions were clearly written. As a bonus, the host was very sweet and very responsive to all messages. The house is in a quiet and secluded area but was still a short drive to downtown and any other places we wanted to visit during our stay. We already are talking about planning a trip back!

About the host

Hosted by Catherine

Host profile image
Our family lives on busy Long Island which affords us wonderful waterfront and beaches. We have extended family in PA and wanted our own piece of paradise nearby so we ventured out in 2003 and bought this warm, charming, country home. It was love at first sight!

Why they chose this property

When looking for a vacation rental I wanted something my own family would enjoy too. I wanted a country feel in the woods to get us away from our hectic lives. This home is 10 miles off Route 80 at Exit 284. It's just 110 miles from NYC. It was in the perfect location. Extremely private, easy to get to, only a few hours drive and plenty of things to do in the surrounding area. I hope your family loves this home as much as mine does.

What makes this property unique

The family room is my paradise. There are 15 floor to ceiling windows for a panoramic view of the woods. This is where you'll see wild life grazing or just passing through. You'll see for yourself if you join us!
