Nicole and Steve were welcoming, not overbearing, helpful and terrific to be with. Vacationing with seven children ages 3-13, the cabin was well appointed with everything we could need and then some.
The decor was a wonderful mix of old and new, and the setting was gorgeous. Kids spent a lot of time with the animals, biking the gravel roads, exploring the woods, making campfires in the firepit, fishing the creek adjacent to the property or just enjoying the many books and magazines around the cabin.
We even did fireworks at night for the kids, and on a clear night, lay on the ample lawns to gaze at the stars.
Towels, blankets, throw rugs, and more were provided, as well as an abundance of household things like papertowels, extra tissues, lightbulbs, toilet paper, lighters and even sparklers that the kids immensely enjoyed.
The wind atop the mountain was perfect for kite flying, which we did too. We visited many nearby local farm stands aside the beautiful roads, visited the "Grand Canyon of PA" about an hour away, and enjoyed constant views of the aptly-named endless mountains all around!
We also toured a goat dairy not far away, and checked out the nearby small-america towns in the surrounding countryside.
We visited Mount Pisgah State Park nearby as well, and the children loved the environmental center too.
Back at the cabin, there was so much wildlife around to see - we saw does, bucks, fawns and more practically every day of our week long stay, both on the property and on the nearby roads.
When our car got stuck in the mud due to rains, the owners were so helpful in getting our car out too.
As an added bonus, we loved not having cell service in the cabin - much more peaceful than the pull of constantly being at everyone's beck and call all the time... and when we needed the phone, a short ride away was service.
If you are looking for rustic solitude, at a fair price, with great hosts, in the rural countryside - you don't need to look anywhere else!
We highly recommend this property - don't hesitate to book with them - and we've stayed at many Homeaway properties before.
Trust us - you will love this!
Than you Nicole and Steve for a great vacation!
