About this property

This mountain home is the bigger of our 2 rentals near Ricketts Glen state park. We just finished renovating and are very pleased with the result. This property which was my grandparents actually borders Ricketts Glen. I have many fond memories hunting and hiking the mountain and coming back to my Gram’s exceptional cooking. This home is situated off of Hynick road tucked in on the western border of Ricketts Glen on 10 private acres. Walking distance from the falls!

Rented both houses for wedding at Ricketts Glen

Great location for exploring Ricketts Glen. My daughter's wedding was at Adams Falls, very close by. House was very old farm house, perfect for our country loving family. We rented both houses as we have a lot of kids and my parents were with us, too. Would stay again.

peaceful getaway

The house and grounds were very nice and well kept. It was a very quiet, peaceful area and we enjoyed just sitting back and relaxing while the others went hiking or to the beach. I would definitely recommend this to others. The house, by the way, was an older home that has been remodeled and was beautiful.
