Awesome back yard

The coziness of the inside of this cottage is made up by the wonderful back yard area including the covered back porch, pavilion, outdoor games, fire pit, radio. The inside was not big enough for us to bring our puzzle table since we were using the pull out sofas. We used the kitchen table for the puzzle and ate outside. It was perfect! Steve was quick to respond to any questions. We look forward to our next stay.

Closest We've Ever Stayed to Knoebels!

The home was exactly as described and perfect for our family! My family has been coming to Knoebels for over 20 years and this is the closest we've ever stayed to the park, even closer than when we stay at the campground! The house was clean and comfortable and it was very easy to communicate with the owner. We would definitely stay here again!

Family fun

We loved this place so close to the park. Awesome back area for hanging out. The place was so clean and comfortable. One recommendation would be a queen bed in the main bedroom the bed was slightly small, but very comfortable . We will definitely be back.

Best way to explore Knoebels park

The cabin had everything we needed and super close and convenient to the park. It was a 2 min walk to the rides and food inside the park. When the rides closed we had a great time sitting out back with a fire and hanging out.

Amazing Cottage

We have stayed at this cottage so many times I have lost count. We never stay anywhere else when visiting Elysburg. Steps from Knoebels and yet so peaceful. Coffee on the patio is the perfect beginning to our day. The cottage is wonderful - easily accommodates our family of between 6 to 8 adults. All the amenities of home and, quite frankly, we have stayed so often it actually feels like home!!! Already looking forward to our next visit in a few months. If you are looking for a fabulous place to stay when visiting Knoebels or Elysburg for any reason, look no further - I promise you will not be disappointed :)

About the host

Hosted by Steve

Host profile image
My mother and father started to build this home in 1969. Each year we would add on and improve the property until my mother and father were aging and began to really enjoy the property in the mid to late 1980's. I grew up helping my parents build this cottage, and to this day, still enjoy every moment I spend at the cottage. My family enjoys the cottage with me as well. We continually improve our cottage each year. We truly love this cottage and hope you enjoy your stay!

Please remember this is a family-owned cottage. Enjoy your stay at our cottage and please take care of this property as if it was your own cottage. Please respect our cottage and our rules. Thank you.

What makes this property unique

Beautiful private cottage located literally right next to Knoebels Amusement Park. Walk to the park (3-5 min at best) with the children, have some great fun and stroll back to the cottage for a quick rest. Sit under the large pavilion with the three handmade swings, listen to your favorite music with the outdoor surround sound, and eat with the family on the extremely large handmade double picnic tables. Enjoy the fire pit!! Hear and listen to the sounds of "Ole Smokey".
