About the host
Hosted by Gina L Phillips
Hi! We are your hosts Gina, Brett and our dog Luna. We started out hosting journey to bring people to Northeast, Pa and introduce them to some local favorites during their stay in October of 2021. We appreciate each guest and enjoy learning about what brings them to Clifford, PA and any ways we can always be improving their stay at the Hidden Gem. We enjoy adding small touches to make our home feel like your own while connecting with small businesses in our community. We love to fuss over the Gem and Luna enjoys coming along to run around in the backyard and occasionally make herself comfortable on the couch!
Why they chose this property
The name says it is all. We chose this house because it truly was a Hidden Gem in the quaint village of Clifford, PA. We set out looking for a local home that guests can enjoy all year round and that is exactly what we found. We enjoy the firepit just about all year round. The fall is prime time to appreciate the foliage and local orchards and pumpkin patches. Winter is excellent for skiing at Elk or Montage Mountain or cozying up and cooking a home cooked meal in our kitchen with family and friends over the holidays. Spring is a great time to get out on the D&H Rail Trail with your bikes and get a tour of a local maple syrup farm. Enjoy a coffee on the deck in the summer time and explore the lakes and trails nearby along with the beautiful wedding venues such as Takash's Grove and the Farm at Cottrell Lake. Ultimately we chose this home to update because we saw it's potential and fell in love with giving it a new story. We instantly felt comfortable and wanted our friends and family to enjoy it too! We hope you feel comfortable, safe, and relaxed when you stay at the Hidden Gem.
