The host was amazing she helped me get it booked. The place is so peaceful and in a very good neighborhood. The a/c in the bedroom was amazing. We trailer our bike to Wolf Pen Gap, which was about 15/20 minutes not bad at all.
We had a fantastic stay at this property! From the moment we arrived, everything was exactly as described—clean, well-stocked, and incredibly comfortable. The space was thoughtfully decorated and had all the amenities we needed for a relaxing and enjoyable stay.The host was very responsive and made sure we had everything we needed, offering clear instructions and helpful recommendations for local activities, dining, and sights. Check-in and check-out were smooth and hassle-free.The location was perfect—quiet enough to feel like a getaway, but still close to everything we wanted to explore. Whether you’re looking for a peaceful retreat or a base for local adventures, this place is ideal.We would absolutely stay here again and highly recommend it to anyone looking for a quality VRBO experience. Thank you for a wonderful stay!
Perfect for what we needed it for. We caught some fish, played catch and did a lot of relaxing on the deck. We had everything we needed and the host was awesome.
We enjoyed the peace and relaxation. Enjoyed fishing in the creek and just sitting on the deck and watching the deer in the field. Sweetest host ppl too. Provided excellent suggestions for eating out and places to visit
The property was clean, well stocked and we love the location. Communication was great. The cabin is a duplex. It is nicely furnished and other than car doors we never heard the people in the other side. It is pet friendly with extra dog towels. I never mind paying a pet fee to bring my dog but I do think a pet fee per dog a bit much. We had very small dogs but only expected to bring one. I had to bring the other due to a last minute family issue. Also, be aware of the charge per minute if you leave late. All in all it was a great place to stay.
Our favorites: playing board games, floating the creek all the way down, fishing the creek, dancing on the deck, catching fire flies (and releasing them back of course), playing cards on the deck, laughing until our ribs hurt, riding the mountain trail, playing frisbee with our dog, kayaking and grilling outside! We truly enjoy our stay and we love that we don’t have to leave for anything other than riding the telamena scenic trail!
Precious little cottage that was decorated so cute! Loved all the leaves and birds: chickadees, tufted titmouse, woodpeckers, geese, and saw a deer on our way out. Located close to Wilhemenia State Park for hiking. Wish we had time to stay another day or 2. We loved it. Forced us to not rely on our phone or streaming and enjoy nature.
I met my tinder date there for our third encounter. The property is immaculately clean. It is a short side by side rod to Wolfpen gap trail head. There’s a small creek at the back of the property which is nice to go. Look at little fish in the morning and drink coffee. I would recommend this for couples. It is a cute little property. But my tinder date was a jerk.
