A great family place

My daughter and I had a great birthday trip with my grandsons. It is close to Rickett’s Glen, well furnished with comfy couches and beds and a big round kitchen table. There’s a stream right behind the house and a covered picnic area.

Great Setting on a Creek

The house isn’t fancy, but it was clean and had what we needed. The setting in the woods right on the creek is awesome, and we would definitely return.

Golf trip

Perfect getaway for peace and quiet

This property is the perfect place to get away from the hustle and bustle to enjoy some peace and quiet. Marie was one of the most responsive hosts I've experienced and was available for any questions we had. Take a walk in the woods, fish from the creek or enjoy the cozy warmth of the fire pit. I would definitely stay here again.

Enjoyed my stay there even though it was work related, it was very quiet with a creek viewable from the kitchen window or out on the deck. there were plenty of cooking amenities for indoor or outdoor needs. playground equipment for the kids, a fire pit,and covered picnic area .Would be a great get away for a family given the four bedrooms. state park is nearby for hiking walking etc.

Great remote place

Very clean vintage place. No dust, no cobwebs, no funky smells, has central air, and Dish TV. Set far back from the road - surrounded by woods/creek on all sides. Great place to take dogs. Less than five minute drive to Ricketts Glen. Friendly and responsive host.

Perfect hideaway!

We had a great time at Herbie's Hideaway! The dog enjoyed playing in the creek and walking around the property every day. We loved how close Rickett's Glen was and had a great time checking out the waterfalls. The rooms were spacious and the couches were comfortable. Could use more lighting in the bathroom, but that's just a minor request. Marie and Rich were great hosts and easy to communicate with. Looking forward to coming back!

So much fun!

I would say Marie’s house is a rustic cabin. It was very clean and had plenty of room. There is a nice round table in the kitchen and we played games. There is plenty of comfortable seating in the living room. The outside was very beautiful at the house. We had a great time hiking at Ricketts Glen. There is a nice little brewery called Five Mountain in Shickshinny PA. The food there was great and the people were nice. It was a really nice trip. Thank you Marie!

Perfect getaway for our golfing foursome biannual trip

Marie was a perfect host! She met with me promptly at the property and gave me a quick tour of the amenities available and house rules. No issues with our stay and each guest having their own large bedroom worked out perfectly. Being off the grid from cellular access was a concern at first, but was a blessing in disguise as it kept everyone off their phones and interacting with one another like we used to and days back. One in our group had enough signal for an occasional phone call on Verizon.

Great location near Ricketts Glen

The owners are very friendly and helpful. I was very happy that I could bring my dog. We really enjoyed that we could have all the activities of camping (cooking out, building a fire, dark starry sky, woods to explore a bit, the sound of the creek) but sleep in real beds and have access to a full kitchen and our own bathrooms. The satellite tv was a nice treat for the kids the one afternoon it rained. The property is very private and extremely quiet. We were happy there was AC if we needed it, which we really didn’t even in July, being in the mountains. Bring bug spray:)

Babbling Brook In The woods.

Travel down a winding country road. Turn unto a single lane, then make a left unto Herbie's Hideaway. A very unique rental beside a babbling brook. The property is fantastic, Picnic Pavilion, swing set, fire pit and the fore mentioned brook. Makes for a very relaxing experience. Spotty cell phone and no wifi makes this rental perfect for getting away from it all and doing what you paid for (relaxing). Close to Tunkhannock, Wilkes barre, Leighton. Jim Thorpe. Great "Home Base". Can't wait to get back there.

Hideaway in nature

Herbies hideaway says it all. You are hidden back in nature. But with limited cell service (att) it was nice knowing Rich and Marie were close by if something happened. Making sure your stay is everything you wanted is their top priority. I didn't even need to leave the property it had all I was looking for. Solitude in nature. Saw deer everyday with the sound of the creek in the back. Outdoor shelter when shade was needed and a great firepit. Thank you Rich and Marie for sharing your hideaway with me.

Herbie's is a perfect hideaway!

We usually go camping but couldn't because our dog sitter stopped sitting. Herbie's was just perfect for us, our 15 year old son and our two dogs (Briards)! The grounds are ideal to walk around and the creek was beautiful and so nice to wade in (especially for the dogs!). It was also just 5 miles from Rickett's Glen State Park (turn right (North) onto Bethel Hill Rd off of Huntington Creek Rd when you're leaving, take that to the end at Route 118, turn left (West) and you're there! So close!) where we did a lot of hiking, kayaking and swimming; exactly where we wanted to be (the Evergreen trail on your left (south) when you enter the park was ideal for the dogs too)! Herbie's had so many amenities we didn't even use (swing set, fire pit, BBQ, games, etc.)!
