Such a lovely escape! Cabin is cozy and comfortable, and couldn’t be more convenient for hiking in Ricketts Glen. Jess leaves a helpful binder of local food recommendations - we went to Benton and Harvey’s Lake, neither too far away. Highly recommend!

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.
