Peaceful and Exceeded Expectations

Rental process was very easy and the property Manager responded to emails quickly to address any issues or concerns. The property was well equipped for a comfortable stay. During our stay, we saw bears, Bull Elk, fox, Skunk, several Deer, an Eagle, numerous other smaller animals, and enjoyed the sea of stars in the night sky. We visited the Austin Dam, an Amish Auction and the Stevenson Dam. Thank again!

Peaceful and roomy

Our family enjoyed a long holiday weekend together. Foggy, cloudy nights prevented our stargazing plans from coming to pass but there was plenty of hiking and scenery to keep us busy otherwise.

Lodge Winter Getaway

In the middle of hills, there is a beautiful lodge/mini-hotel where you can hang out and play games, sled and slide, hike, and eat & drink. The power went out on us for a night. But, we fortunately brought lanterns, used the fireplace, and melted snow to flush the toilets. We rebooked for next year.

Amazing Home

This house is absolutely stunning. The deck was great for star gazing and the kids had a blast sitting around the fire. Saw 2 bear at the pond on the first night. The dog really loved playing in Prouty Run. Weather was hot two days but the fans and open windows helped cool things down at night. Had a great time and everything we needed was there with the house. Highly recommend.

Great place

Property manager was easy to communicate with and was great at answering questions pre, during, and post stay. House is awesome. Like that they have basic kitchen spices and basic condiments left in house from previous stays. Supplying firewood foe awesome fireplace that will make you sweat when it's 20 degrees outside is awesome. The best surprise not listed is the heated floors in the house. Best place I have stayed at in the area. Can't go wrong.

Fantastic Central PA spot

We celebrated my parents' 80th birthdays with a family reunion - 8 adults and 2 children 1 dog. The house was ENORMOUS and easily accommodated our party with nice private areas for everyone. The kitchen is very well equipped with the best pans I've seen in a VRBO. The whole house has filtered water, so even the ice was delicious. Two ice cube makers really came in handy! AC in the upstairs bedrooms was greatly appreciated. The main floor was very warm (temps in mid-upper 80s) but nice overnight.Sam was very responsive, especially when the power went out due to a storm. Getting the keys was very easy, and the whole house was spotless. The beds are all very firm, and the pillows were great. The "futon" on the lower level is an extra pillowtop mattress, which the kids loved sleeping on.We brought a hose that easily attached to the outdoor pump (very necessary since the dog couldn't stay out of the pond!). The gas grill is a griddle surface, not a typical grill, so we used the charcoal grill and fire pit grill for cooking.We enjoyed fishing and catching newts in the pond, and spent so much time on the huge covered porch. The moon was too bright to see the Milky Way, but we did see the ISS fly overhead twice. We had a really lovely, relaxing time.

Fantastic Forest Find

Luxury cabin nestled back in the Wilds of PA. Tons of room for all of our family. Everyone enjoyed the immaculate accommodations. Lightly rained the entire time we were there, but with plenty of room inside and tons of outdoor covered deck space, we still had a great time. The location is quite rural (just what we were looking for as long-time visitors of the Black Forest area in PA), so be prepared. Sam was easy to communicate with and the check-in/check-out process was very simple. Would highly recommend to anyone looking for a peaceful retreat... with everything you could possibly want in a house.

The one lock was broken, I didnt want it charged to us so I notified owner upon arrival. He was aware. But the home wasnt secure for them or us. Toilet seats, one side broken on both toilets on first floor. We are older and almost fell twice. The microwave door handle had hard dried dirt on it from previous renter, I cleaned it because I didn’t want that to be blamed on me.Beautiful home and property. We were very comfortable, the owners thought of everything. Quite a lot of rules, more than other VRBO properties we've stayed at. Like most places you run dishwasher upon leaving, here you had to empty dishwasher too. You were supposed to wash your towels before leaving. Never has an owner asked that of us before. Just feel they expected a lot of renter cleaning.I never felt fully at rest with the outside door lock broken and was afraid to fully use the house.

The lodge was even better in person. Very picturesque and very clean, and quiet. The lodge had everything you could need and the host was very responsive to any questions and was very pleasant and thoughtful. Perfect spot for our small Wedding under the stars! Just gorgeous with stunning views of the night sky.
