A great getaway

I stayed for a few days just to get away for a bit. The cabin was quant and clean. I enjoyed watching the birds and squirrels, having a fire every night, hiking on the nearby trails, and generally just relaxing. Would highly recommend this location. The hosts were wonderful and everything was super easy.

Great Little Cabin

We spent the weekend at this great little cabin. Nick was very welcoming. We loved watching the birds at the feeder. The highlight was the Pileated Woodpecker. The wood burning stove makes the place so cozy and it was only a 7 minute drive to MaDeeters.

Beautiful Cabin!

We were so thrilled with our stay. The cabin is clean and rustic. It gave us everything we were looking for and more. Each morning Irene feeds the birds and they are so fun to watch all day . The hosts were very informative and helpful with all aspects of our stay! We were recommended by a friend and it lived up to the hype. We look forward to staying again.

Cabin in the woods

We enjoyed our three night stay at a cozy cabin in Luzerne. Two outdoor fire pits for gathering one was log the other gas. Great private outdoor area with deck also to enjoy the forest area and bird feeders. The living room couch and chair were futons and allowed extra sleeping areas besides the queen bed. Kitchen had nice gas stove and everything needed to enjoy your stay.

Sweet get away

Everything was clean, well kept and well stocked. The house is adorable!! We loved the door wall view of the wild life and the choices of patio's to choose from for our meals and morning coffee/tea. It's secluded and private. Directions were very accurate, we had no problem finding the place. Local attractions are just a few miles away, in either direction of the house. Our hosts, Nick and Laura were very accommodating and have thought of everything. We couldn't have been happier with our stay, we will be recommending it to friends and family. And we will be returning in the future! Nick and Laura, thank you for sharing your home with us, we truly enjoyed ourselves, it was so wonderful and pleasant. Nick I need you to text me, we have to get your venmo information because we need to reinverse you for the condiments in the refrigerator that my husband took by accident.. lol Much appreciated and needed, Colleen

Wasn't good

On main highway. Traffic noise. Lots of spiders. Got charged 50 dollars because they said husband left coffee grounds in coffee maker. Possible but whish they would have said something to us first. Vacuumed whole place and wiped down counters and floor when we left. Said wasn't clean enough. Look around. Much nicer places with linen and towels with better location. Had to trailer sxs to trails.

A peaceful spot

What a gem Nick and Laura have here. Perfectly sized for a couple. So cozy and clean. I would sit at the table and watched the birds all day and have been happy. The wood stove was a welcome warmth after trails and hikes all day. The bed was extremely comfortable. If you are looking for peace and quiet. This is your place. Thank you Nick and Laura for sharing your perfect cabin with us.

Awesome Property and Great Host

This is the cutest cabin in the woods with the cutest furniture and set up. It is set off by itself and very peaceful. The Hosts were very responsive and provided lots of information (including some sites to see in the area). This was our first VRBO rental and it went off without a hitch! It worked perfectly for my husband and I. While it can sleep more people (with the futon and fold down chair) it would get a little cramped I think. Everything is provided to cook, clean, etc. that you might need. We loved watching all the animals at the bird feeder outside the big sliding door. We used the fire pit (propane) on the back porch one night and had marshmallows over the fire. There is a nice fire pit for real wood with chairs around as well, but we were under a high fire risk advisory while there so didn't opt to start a real fire. We loved the location and everything about the property. The one note I might add is that while it is very nice and in the woods, it is also very close to the road. There is plenty of trees and a privacy fence on the deck so that you would not really notice it, except if you are outside and a car drives by. You can hear the road nose, even from inside sometimes. It isn't a super busy road, but is traveled often. Not really a deal breaker for us, but wanted to highlight this for any other renters. The only thing that would have made it better was if it was about 200 or 300 feet back further from the road :-) We certainly stay again!

Fabulous Getaway Retreat for 2

This is an absolutely wonderful place for a single or couple to getaway for the weekend. We would stay again in a heartbeat. The cabin is incredibly clean, updated and well appointed with furnishings and amenities, including a wood burning stove, a gas flame table and chairs on the deck, a fire pit, a new gas grill, and two outdoor deck areas to eat and sit in the sun. The kitchen is well stocked with pots, pans, and cooking utensils. They had everything we needed for cooking two nights of meals (including some utensils you normally don't expect). The cabin is a short walk from access to Big Creek if you want to fish, and has good wifi and a TV that allows you to sign into your Netflix or Amazon account or hook up other devices you may have by HDMI cable (provided). One thing to be aware of is to check the "Amenities" and read all the way to the bottom to be aware of bedding/towels and cleaning conditions. They keep the fees low because they ask you to bring your own towels and linens and to do your own cleaning when you leave. We actually saw this as an attractive feature, as the savings on fees was well worth simply having to bring sheets and towels and the small amount of time it took to clean and leave the cabin in the condition we found it. Again, we couldn't have been more delighted with the cabin and plan to return again. They are wonderful and highly responsive hosts.
