Our 3 night stay was fantastic. The cabin is cozy and well equipped for both comfort and convenience. The beds are very comfortable. The kitchen has everything even an ambitious cook would like in a vacation home - far more than we expected. The host has thought of just about everything to make your stay enjoyable, and he went above and beyond to make us feel actively welcomed into his home. If our travels ever bring us back to this area, we would love to stay here again.

Great atmosphere

Was everything I was looking for so that a group of guys could get away for a couple days to relax. Very nice that there was some fire wood provided and the i side fireplace was already prepped and ready to go.

Another great few days at this lovely cabin. Bedding is divine. Games, books, puzzles, and a good sound system made our rainy days a cozy and fun family getaway. A true gem.

Rustic Cabin Getaway

This cabin exceeded our expectations, secluded but not too secluded. We took our dog with us, and we were all to settle in nicely. It is a great location for hiking and has some wonderful wineries nearby. Mike is a great host and was quick to get back to us on a few questions we had. This is one place we wouldn't hesitate to rent again.

Cozy cabin getaway

The cabin is as described in the listing. Mike, has everything organized and super clean. This is a great location to spend the weekend either for getting away from the city or to visit some of the small quaint local towns. West reading has tons of restaurants and if you’re a fan of Yuengling, the nearby museum has a great 1 hour tour. My wife and I enjoyed our stay and left relaxed with good memories.

The perfect woodland retreat!

I knew as soon as we walked into this cabin that we were going to have the best week, and I was not wrong! The host made this property so incredibly inviting and covered every little detail that you could possibly imagine. I’m going to miss waking up to an amazing mountain sunrise every morning but I will not hesitate to book this property again.
