About this property

Rickett's Glen state Park! Our cabin is only 1/2mile from the trail head.

We have a beautiful cabin On 10 acres that border Ricketts Glen State Park. The cabin is only 1/4 mile from the trail head at the foot of the mountain. This state park offers beautiful views year round. Whether you would like to hike the 22 waterfall trails, rent a kayak on Lake Jean or curl up with a good book on the sandy beach of the lake, we have the peace and quiet you have been dreaming about! There is also excellent mountain biking, cross country skiing, snowshoeing, trail running, and hunting. You will enjoy a relaxing outdoor experience at our cabin. We have a comfortable interior with hardwood floors and all the comforts of home including air conditioning. The outside has many sitting areas including a fire ring and covered back porch.
Please note that we have another mountain home which borders the park. This home would be better for a larger group 4-8 or a family that likes more space. It has 2 bathrooms, 3 bedrooms and a large kitchen, family room and game room.

Nice cabin, near all the things

It's a nice place, clean, with all the amenities you'd expect. Host had a fire going for me when I arrived which was much appreciated. Host was responsive and accommodating to my change of plans, having to leave a day early.

Love this cabin

I took my three teens for a long weekend to Rickettes Glenn to hike the waterfalls. This is a great location with multiple dining choices nearby. The cabin itself is lovely and very comfortable. We had a blast all around!

We loved this cabin

Our stay was awesome. The cabin was cozy and very welcoming. The property was amazing. It was very peaceful and the tranquility of the woods made it even better. We loved Rickets Glenn Park and the cabin is very close to the park entrance. Great communication with host. When we arrived, Jeff stopped by and introduced himself. We would come back in a heartbeat.

Peace and Quiet

This cabin was everything we thought it would be and more. The peaceful tranquility of the woods only helped to boost the cozy, relaxing environment of the cabin itself. If you're heading to Ricketts Glen yourself to do some hiking or water sports, or maybe just a quiet getaway in the woods, you have GOT to check this cabin out.

Ricketts Glen getaway

The home has a lot of natural light and sheer window coverings, so our days got off to an early start. The layout of the home worked well for us, with all three sleeping areas on the second floor. We brought our own bedding and bath towels as instructed by the homeowner, but we did not realize we should also bring hand towels for drying dishes. You’ll want to bring your own spices, coffee and condiments if you plan to eat/cook in the home. Overall the cabin worked well for us, but the house could use a bit of deep cleaning (particularly the bathroom).The location of the cabin was very close to Ricketts Glen, which was perfect since hiking there was the focus of our trip. There was a nice fire pit within the wooded yard that surrounded the home, so that was lovely. (Note: 5 for 10 pieces of wood from the covered wood box if you use those in the fire pit.)Communication with the host was at a minimum during our stay, but we did not mind except when we had a plumbing issue one evening (at about 730 pm) and it took until about 9am to hear back from the homeowner. Fortunately the situation was fixed within hours of hearing back from the host. Thanks for sharing your home with us!
