Guest Access:
You'll have full access to the entire space and our 2-acre property. We just ask that you respect the private half of the basement.
If you'd like to have additional daytime visitors, we require that you run your plans by us before booking. We are an adult-only property — newborns are our only exception.
The Neighborhood:
Just 2 hours from NYC and 2.5 from Philly, this creekside log cabin sits on 2 acres along a backcountry highway, and it's backed up to many more acres of forest. The abundance of wildlife is amazing. Bears, fireflies, eagles, trout, mushrooms, and much more. We’re also just 5 minutes from the local grocery store, the Saturday farmer’s market, and the Delaware waterfront for canoeing and rafting trips. We’re 20 minutes from incredible hikes, swimming holes, and a few of our favorite restaurants.
Getting Around:
Our driveway has a bit of an incline, and in wintery conditions, you'll need 4WD to access the cabin, even after it gets plowed. Unfortunately, it may not be possible to get a non-4WD vehicle out of the driveway without a tow. Additionally, the winding mountain roads are much safer with 4WD.
Other Things to Note:
Our driveway has a bit of an incline, and in wintery conditions, you'll need AWD/4WD to access the cabin, even after it gets plowed. Unfortunately, it may not be possible to get a non-4WD vehicle out of the driveway without a tow.

This cabin is about as picturesque as it gets…if you are looking for the perfect place to get away from it all for a weekend, this is it. Stocked with all the items you need and then some. Great management group…easy to deal with and quick to respond.
