This was a perfect spot to bring my dog for a weekend away from the hustle and bustle. Couldn’t think of an amenity we were missing. Loved that there were even supplies for the dog! Close to great hiking spots as well. Highly recommend.

My husband and I were desperate for a peaceful and relaxing getaway, where we could take our Boxer, Remmi. We found that on Bear Mountain, where it felt like we were out in the middle of nowhere, yet when we really needed something, we were only about 15 minutes from a store. We were welcomed to a very clean cabin and from the start, the owner was great with needed communication. We truly enjoyed sitting around the fire and walking the woods with our dog. We got to relax, clear our mind and we will definitely be back!!!

Nice Relaxing Vacation near Gettysburg

We visited Gettysburg and stayed at this property which is about 30 minutes from the National Historical Park. After a long day of walking and touring the Battlefield it was nice to come back to this property and have a nice peaceful evening. The house is secluded and in a very quiet area. We really enjoyed our stay

A little slice of heaven

If you are looking for peace, quiet, nature and solitude, this is it. We had our dogs with us and they loved the adventure. Our host was great--very attentive and helpful. We will be going back in the spring.

Great facility, clean and up to expectations. The 3 of us, my wife our dog and myself were impressed. The road is a bit rough and would hesitate navigating at night. Overall a great stay

Relaxing nature getaway

Our stay was very relaxing. The house looks exactly as pictured- clean and well equipped. The host, David, is extremely responsive. The house is tucked away on the mountain side and our two dogs absolutely loved the private outdoor space. We saw lots of deer which was fun! We felt very at home and enjoyed our stay!
