It boasts a stargazing deck and a fully-equipped game room in the barn, featuring activities like ping pong, foosball, and darts. Additionally, the property provides nine kayaks and several bikes for your enjoyment. Take advantage of the exceptional Pine Creek trout fishery just a few steps from your front door, as well as over 60 miles of Pine Creek Valley rail trails. The river and rail trails are conveniently accessible from the covered front porch.

Dickens Perfection

To summarize our stay... We couldn't have loved this place anymore. From the time we walked in until time we left. If you want to stay in a perfect farmette this is your place. Remote, cozy, clean, adorable. The living room was HUGE!! BEDS SUPER COMFY! The owner Eric was absolutely gracious when I could not find my entry email. Walked me through the process when he didn't have too. The fire place in the living room was so cozy. All kitchen cabinets were all labeled and I just thought this was awesome. Barn was pretty too! I believe this will be our go to for booking every season. We were very comfortable here. Great for family, friends or even just couples. Thanks again for an awesome stay!!

Great Location

This rental was located just outside the southern end of the gorge rail trail as described and is very conveniently situated near hiking, biking, and walking. The owners provided a link to a number of recommended hikes and hot spots in the area which was helpful. The neighborhood is quiet and the surroundings peaceful. The house is warm and cozy. The kitchen is fully equipped. We had a small glitch getting into the house as the code was not properly set. However, with some effort this was resolved and communication with the owner was good. There are lots of puzzles and games for all ages. This is a great location for a family with children or a group that appreciates peace and quiet.

Know Before You Go

This house might be fine for some people under some conditions. It was not right for us. First and foremost – the primary heating source for the house is a fireplace in the living room. If you intend to camp out in the house next to the fire, this is probably fine. We were in and out hiking and biking so this was very impractical. Especially the first night – we arrived after dark and building a fire was not an option as we had not brought kindling with us and we were warned against gathering kindling on the property due to rattlesnakes. Second, the beds were not made when we arrived. Again, if you are prepared and arrive during the daylight, this might not be a problem. We arrived after dark and were scrounging around looking for sheets, pillowcases and pillows in a dark house. Most of the sheets had been left in the dryer but had not been fully dried, so they smelled mildewy. Third, the bikes provided were children’s bikes and not well cared for (bent rim etc). I specifically inquired about the bikes before renting. The response was a truthful, yes they are included, nothing about the size or condition. Had we known, we would have rented our own. The location of this house is great – directly on the Pine Creek Trail and not far from good hiking. I think it would be nice during warmer months. The barn with its toys is also nice – would be great for kids. This just was not the right place for two adults on a cold, fall weekend.
