Great place and exactly as advertised (no surprises). The property was spacious, clean, comfortable with everything in good working order. The kitchen was well-equipped and stocked, making it ready for food prep. The property location was remote (we knew this from our research) which equaled quiet and peaceful. The host (Jessica) was incredibly responsive (we got responses within an hour of every query). A GREAT stay, which we would rebook again in a heartbeat!

We really enjoyed our stay, they had almost everything. We had some leftovers and there wasnt anything to put it in or wrap it with like saran wrap or a baggie or tin foil and we looked for a lighter for a fire but found a small book of matches. We LOVED the cute little coffee bar that was set up. Everything was clean and tidy and comfortable and close to Ricketts Glen State Park.

This was a wonderful cabin - in a beautiful, peaceful location, and had just the right amount of space and coziness for our family! Jessica checked in the first night we were there to make sure everything was good, and then was quick to respond when we had a question. You can buy firewood on site, which was very convenient for our nightly fires. Just a couple minutes to Ricketts Glen State Park, where we enjoyed several great hikes. Also enjoyed ice cream from Red Rock Scoop just down the road, and picked up a hoagie and a few small items at the Red Rock Corner Store. We had a fantastic visit, and would absolutely stay at this cabin again! Thank you!!

The cabin was a lovely getaway for our family. It was clean, comfortable, and exactly as described. We appreciated the coffee and fans in the bedrooms. Quiet and serene setting…we enjoyed our coffee on the porch. The kitchen could’ve had a few more items like baking sheets and casserole dishes….and possibly a salt shaker? There are a couple pans, but not much to choose from. Since there aren’t restaurants close, cooking makes the most sense, but it’s difficult when it’s not a “full” kitchen. Overall, it was a great little spot and we would recommend. Thank you for allowing us to rent it!

Secluded Cabin

Wonderful, relaxing tranquil experience. Great home away from home, easy checking. No fuss, no problems, zero issues. Great experience and we had the added benefit of a brief snowstorm during our visit, the cabin was the perfect place to be snowed in. The many windows offered an ideal view all weekend. I highly recommend this property for a relaxing stay!!

Wonderful stay

We really enjoyed our stay! The cabin is very secluded and private. Everything was clean and comfortable. Just be aware, there is no a/c in the bedrooms, although fans are provided. There is a mini-split unit for the living space. The weather was fairly cool when we were there so it did not impact our stay very much, but if it was hot, it would not have turned out so well. Host was wonderful and very responsive. She checked in with us after the first night just to be sure everything was okay. Would recommend.

The private location was pure perfection!!! The house was very clean. One bathroom for 4 of us worked out. It states it can sleep 8 but I wouldn't recommend that. The layout of the house was all open but the lighting was not very good. However there are a lot of big windows for light. We took our own linens and paper products. Wood can be bought on sight or a short drive away. We didn't buy anything from the cute little country store that sticks so.e basics and fishing needs. We hiked the whole trail at Ricketts Glen State Park. A 10 minute drive from the house

Cozy Home Close to Ricketts Glen

We enjoyed our stay at this property just a mile away from friends staying at another VRBO. The home was roomy for our guests and the beds were comfortable. The amenities available were all as described in the listing. The drive to Ricketts Glen State Park was less than 10 min. There is a super cute ice cream shop that is a must visit just down the street. Be aware that you do need to request towels and linens for an additional charge, which we did and worked out great but did not realize this until after we booked. Great property, great area! Thank you!

About the host

Hosted by Jessica

Host profile image
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!

Why they chose this property

Red Fox Hollow used to be a hunting camp from the 1970's.
We rehabbed the property after purchasing it to make it a great cabin for families and friends to get together in an open space.
