Peaceful getaway

This cabin is well maintained and perfectly located for enjoying Ricketts Glen. If you plan to bring your own food, don't worry about cooking in this kitchen -- it's well equipped and clean. This place is a gem.

Cutest Little Cabin!

This place was adorable inside and out! I loved the décor. Everything was cute and comfortable. My absolute favorite was the screened in porch. We sat outside on the comfortable furniture with pillows and blankets as the sun set. We could hear the sound of the creek, many birds, and the wind in the trees. It would have been perfection if the traffic on the road outside wasn't so loud. However, the property was totally hidden from the road or any other houses. Very private and in the middle of nature. We had a wonderful time at Ricketts Glen State Park which was very close. Owner was very friendly!

Great Weekend at the Cabin

The four of us very much enjoyed our stay at the Creekside Cabin. The cabin was very clean, had everything we needed and there was plenty of room for us to gather together along with space to be alone. Being close to Ricketts Glen SP was very nice, hiking the trails and the waterfalls was a treat. And the great restaurant suggestion Jessica gave us for our anniversary dinner at Jonathan’s was perfect. We look forward to a return stay. Wayne and Rita

Don’t stay here if you want to stay warm on a cold night!!

The owner would not turn on the main heat source for the house. The temps dropped into the 30’s at night. She instructed to use the baseboard heating in the bedroom & bathroom which took most of the night to heat those rooms. There was a small space heater which barely heated the living room, kitchen & dining area. It probably needed 3 more heaters in those rooms. Not a cozy stay by any means! We were disappointed after spending over $200 to be cold & uncomfortable. Otherwise the property was good.

Lovely cabin for retreat in the woods

The cabin was clean and just as advertised. It was quiet and gave wonderful access to the creek and woods. The screened in porch was a favorite spot. Located within a 5 minute drive to Ricketts Glen to sew the beautiful falls. Would love to stay again. Highlt recommend.

Great Property

We had such a great time at this property. My daughter thoroughly enjoyed being able to "disappear" to her own private island in the backyard. The house had everything we needed and then some. The queen bed upstairs is definitely for those that enjoy a firmer mattress, but besides that, everything was AMAZING. Oh, and there's a guy just up the street selling firewood (with the large wooden teepee) who's super friendly and has an adorable pup. We will definitely book another stay next time we're in the area.
