"It was a great relaxing stay! Plenty of room. We had 3 adults and 2 kids. Plenty of space for everyone. The walk to the lake was nice! Took about 10 minutes. We had fires every evening. Neighbors are very nice. Next time we know to bring firewood, coffee filters, and bikes for the kids!"

10/10 Excellent

"We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The hosts were wonderful. The cabin was very clean, and well put together, and I am very picky about the cleanliness. We love the surrounding area, as we travel there frequently. We will definitely be returning to the area, and to this cabin."

A Perfect Northern Get-Away On The Scenic Big Creek In Luzerne

10/10 Excellent

"We absolutely enjoyed the river setting and cabin ambiance. It’s private, quiet, and surrounded with bird song. The owner helps to flip your thinking from a hotel setting to your own home by having the guest responsible for light cleaning for the next guest. He’s able to reduce the fees and increase the value to the consumer by this method. Doing so is well worth it for the opportunity to stay here. We are grateful the owners are willing to share this cabin with us. We certainly plan to return in the future."
