Gorgeous views from a wonderful cabin! We enjoyed hiking in the mornings followed by relaxing afternoons on the back porch. Plentiful shade in the afternoons and evenings as well as cool mountain temps and breezes.

Peaceful getaway

My husband and I wanted to take a few days away for our anniversary. This cabin was well worth going to. The view from the deck was expansive. The first evening we sat on the deck overlooking the valley. We watched as several downpours passed over portions of the valley, sun shining in other places, 5 rainbows and lighting...quite the nature show. Beds were comfortable. All you need in the kitchen. No airconditioning and our first night was very warm but the owner supplies large fans that really helped. The location was private and instructions to the cabin were great. Its not far from restaurants and area attractions like the Jon Bennet Tavern, the Flight 93 Memorial. We also ate a lunch at the Horn of Plenty restaurant. All recommended. This cabin rental was very nice and we will consider it again in the future!

Took my wife for a weekend for our anniversary. The first day we were met with some heavy fog, so our view was obscured; however, the next day when the fog cleared we were amazed at the beautiful view! The cabin is very secluded and peaceful, clean and cozy. The cabin was close enough to Bedford, Pa., so we drove there for dinner and enjoyed some of the local scenery. Overall, very satisfied!

Spectacular View!

Kim, we absolutely loved your cozy cabin and its ever-changing, spellbinding view. We spotted so much wildlife—our first glimpse of a partially white deer, turtles along the road, and birds serenading us daily. The summer garden, lush with ferns, adds a magical touch to the cabin's charm. We can’t wait to return and experience the beauty of a different season.

Perfect getaway

My husband and I had a lovely stay. The gorgeous view alone would have been plenty, but the entire place was cozy, well-furnished, comfortable, clean, charming, and quiet. Had a great time trying to spot birds in the trees with kindly provided binoculars—which was just the kind of low-key activity we were looking for. It exceeded our expectations.

Charming Cabin, Breathtaking Views, near Hawk Watch

The cabin was cozy, quaint, complete, and thoroughly adequate for the two of us. The view!!! Wow. And there is just something about mountain air, so refreshing. We spent two days at the Allegheny Front Hawk Watch, a true natural wonder during migration season. In four hours the group counted over 400 hawks and eagles. The group of hawk watchers who gather there regularly were friendly and welcoming, offering helpful insights about the migration, and included us in the counting work.

Solitude with a View

We've never been to a place so secluded and peaceful. To boot the view was beautiful. We were concerned about no A/C but realized being so high on the mountain afforded continuous cool breezes keeping us comfortable. Wishing the master bed was larger as it kept for tight sleeping quarters for us. Overall...so pleased. Already booked for next year!!!
