About this property

Charming cabin nestled deep in the woods, great for a peaceful getaway


DESCRIPTION OF PROPERTY:
This cabin sits in the center of our 60 private Acres, surrounded by approximately 600 acres of private and state hunting lands. it's a great place to get away from it all and immerse yourself in nature.

Take in a gorgeous sunset from the wraparound porch, roast some marshmallows on a campfire at the fire ring, hike around the woods on all of the trails, you can even paddle around our pond in a canoe!

The cabin is rather small, about 1,000 square feet total. It consists of a bathroom, downstairs kitchen area, and an upstairs living and sleeping space. Three rooms in total.

The kitchen features all brand new stainless steel appliances including a refrigerator with a filtered water dispenser and ice machine, dishwasher, natural gas oven with cooktop, and a microwave. there are plenty of plates, bowls, drinking glasses, coffee cups, and silverware. there's also a chef's knife set, a basket of specialty cooking utensils, acacia cutting board, and a high-quality set of cast iron skillets, pans, and pots. There is also a large bluetooth boombox available for guest use.

Upstairs there is comfy sectional couch, full size murphy bed, and a bunk bed with a full on the bottom and a twin on top. all the beds have high quality memory foam mattresses. All of the recessed lighting upstairs is fully dimmable.

The space has a beautiful juxtaposition of hand hewn rustic beams with clean white walls. The cabin has a freshly renovated kitchen with all new cabinets and stainless steel appliances. The spacious bathroom has 10' ceilings with a skylight over the shower. There is a large wrap around porch that overlooks the valley in the front of the cabin, it has ample lighting, and is great place to watch the sunset and have a drink!

You will have access to the entire cabin as well as 60 private Acres with a beautiful pond, large field, and plenty of forest.

we are all so amenable to hunting on the property as well as staying at the cabin, through this will increase the nightly rate by 40%.

 SUMMER CANOE/KAYAK PACKAGE

We have partnered with a local Canoe and kayak outfitter; Oars Allegheny- After you book the cabin, shoot us a message and let us know you're interested in the canoe and kayaking.

They generally charge around $55 per person to pick you up and drop you off at the cabin, and that fee includes them providing you a kayak or canoe.

Let the Outfitter know how long you would like to be on the water, as he has a variety of different put in and take out spots on both French Creek and the Allegheny River. He will drop you off, and explain to you where to get out of the river so that he can pick you up. Then you're off for a relaxing float down the river to take in some of the most beautiful Wilderness that Pennsylvania has to offer.

When you arrive at your designated endpoint, the Outfitter will be there to pick you up. They will load up all of your canoes and kayaks, and then bring you and your entire party back to the cabin. Then everybody can unwind and have a relaxing evening around the campfire!

They offer 2-person and 3-person canoes, sit-in and sit-on-top kayaks, as well as a few tandem kayaks.

About the host

Hosted by Madison thurau

Host profile image
My name is Sam, and I am the owner of this cabin. The cabin was built by my father in 1987. It was a very DIY Adventure in homesteading the old school way. He cut down all of the trees to build the cabin and hand hewed all of the beams.

For many years it was only just partially finished and not really a livable space, about 12 years ago I started a very slow Adventure into remodeling the cabin completely. I did all of the work myself, and I was really starting from scratch. I had to install water, septic, completely got the interior and redo all of the walls, windows, and flooring. There was no bathroom whatsoever, so I the one from scratch. I had to rebuild an add-on to all of the Torches, as well as pouring a concrete patio and retaining wall in the back. From there I've been slowly clearing away dangerous trees and upgrading. In all honesty, I still have a lot of work that I want to do the cabin, but even in its current state is a fantastic place to get away for a while and reconnect with nature.

Why they chose this property

This cabin is a very sentimental place in my heart, I grew up playing music in this cabin and having parties with my friends. It was built by my dad and his friends, it's a real family treasure.

What makes this property unique

I fell in love with this property because it allows me to clear my thoughts, take in a beautiful sunset from the wraparound porch and decompress. It feels like being a little kid playing in a treehouse. A truly magical destination.
