About this property

Ricketts Glen Fern View Cabin

Our cabin is a great location to be close to the Ricketts Glen waterfalls and to also relax in the woods. We have a beautiful covered porch to sit and unwind. If you would rather enjoy a nice fire. We have a rustic field stone fire pit.

Gorgeous place with all your creature comforts of home but secluded enough to be away from it all. We loved all the hikes and beach at Ricketts too and being close!

The property was amazing, location to Ricketts State park is perfect. The only surprise was we had to bring our own bedding and towels. Besides that, we enjoyed our stay.

Everything was great. The cabin was definitely tucked away. Fire pit was ready to be used, so was the grill. Everything was clean. Plenty of stuff in the kitchen to be able to use the kitchen. Top marks all around.

Jeff was very accommodating and responded to our messages immediately. Nice fire pit with firewood for purchase on the property. Very close to Ricketts Glen State Park also.

The cabin is simple and compact but had everything that we needed…bedrooms, bathroom, full kitchen and comfortable living room. The property is gorgeous (tree canopy and ferns as the understory) and the fire pit (with ample wood provided!) was perfect for a relaxing evening after visiting 30 waterfalls in 1 day (53 waterfalls in 3 days). The house is convenient to Ricketts Glen State Park and Red Rock Scoops, which has great ice cream with some unique flavors for a reward after our long hikes.

This place had everything you would want in a cabin. It had party lights strung up outside a huge fire pit and outdoor picnic grill. Outdoor seating on the front porch a beautiful trail in the woods. It was perfect.

The cabin was exactly as described in the post. The location was perfect: close to Ricketts Glen and near several restaurants for dinners. The host responded quickly to questions and concerns. We couldn't have asked for a better experience.

Beautiful cabin. Not huge, but not too small either. Very clean and well-maintained. Property is quiet and secluded, but also very close to Rickett's Glen, country store and variety of dinner options. Try the fish and chips at Crooked Creek. 10/10! Burger and waffle fries were fantastic also. Had to cut our trip short but will be coming back soon. And Jeff, the host, is a pleasure to deal with.

Cabin

Very nice cabin in the woods. Nice fire pit we brought our own wood so we didn’t have to pay extra. Make sure you bring your own BLANKETS sheets and towels. Beds are not comfortable and bunk beds make a-lot of noise. Owner is quick to respond.
