Cabin was charming and comfy! The host was welcoming and quick to respond to any questions we had. We appreciated the option to have linens and bedding provided during the stay, as well. Hopefully we will be able to stay again on our next trip up from NC! Thanks, Jess!
This little hidden cabin was perfect to relax and enjoy quality time with our kids. Close to so many attractions. The hosts went above and beyond to welcome us.. super friendly. We are already planning out next adventure in the summer time to enjoy the deck and fire pit! Thank you.
Will book again for a longer stay. There's a lot in the area and it takes some time to explore. Very cozy and really nice to have coffee available and a washer and dryer.

Nice property; great access to ricketts Glenn. Great amenities. Would stay again !!!
Well kept up, clean and had all the amenities we needed. Very close to Ricketts Glen State Park. The hostess was very helpful each time we contacted her.
We have stayed in the cabin for the last few years and our family always has a positive experience. The cabin us super clean and cozy. Our family always enjoys smores by the fire and Christmas movies by the fire afte a long and beautiful hike at Rickett’s GlenMy only feedback I would have ur to maybe have one more small couch or chairs so everyone can sit in a comfortable chair when we watch movies by the fire.

About the host
Hosted by Jessica
Hi! We are Jessica & Doug. I (Jess) grew up right down the road from Ricketts Glen State Park - working at Lake Jean as a lifeguard through high school and college. I did not realize how lucky I was living so close to this little gem in PA! Once I moved away for work - I missed the area, the quiet, and the people. Once we bought a cabin to spend the weekends, we wanted to share it with others when we were not using it. We love to share the local area and great little places tucked away in Northeast PA!
