Charming house for those that enjoy the outdoors, hunting, etc.
Clean and comfortable with a quiet setting.
Great place to stay and take a break and rest after a busy day in the mountains.
This place was perfect to stay at to rest and relax after a busy day in the mountains. It has all the essentials and the beds were very comfortable. Walter was very quick to respond to any questions we had before and during our stay. Thank you!
Was looking for a quiet weekend get-away and struck pay dirt.
Quiet and cozy. Very comfortable.
Great flat yard and fire pit. Would 100% recommend to friends.
Will 100% be using this property for future weekend excursions!
It’s a nice place to stay. The GPS directions are bad. The had us turning left out of Ohiopyle and took us on a goat path. We couldn’t get though so we turned around and went on US 40. It was very quiet and clean.
If you are an avid outdoorsman this place is perfect. My wife and I stayed here this weekend for our 5th anniversary. She loved it, I loved it. The owner is a down to earth dude that loves the outdoors. If I were to come to this area for an extended hunting/fishing trip I’d stay here again. Driveway is long enough for 2 trucks w boats behind them. Location is remote from town but conveniently close enough to restaurants, bars, and shopping centers

Was peaceful. Quiet. Enjoyed seeing wild turkeys, deer and rabbits. Really loved the location. Did not like 1 mile travel on gravel road. Not owner's fault, just a surprise was not informed of this. Like to see a full size toilet.raised and elongated. Hard for older ones.
This property is so cool and feels like home. The host answers quick and seemed very willing to help but we had a smooth problem free stay! It’s so quiet out there with zero light pollution and the stars are perfect for viewing. In the mornings I saw deer, turkey/ baby turkey and going down the road a bit we saw a little black bear. I will for sure be back at this property for another weekend stay!
My husband and and my bestie and I vrbo a lot and THIS was a good one! Great vibes, great host, great communication and the place was adorable!! Even the fire wood delivery guy was a sweetheart! One tip: if coming from Confluence, do NOT follow Google Maps to old creeks road- it was treacherous but my Subaru Outback made the climb!!
Check in at 4pm out at 11:am only stayed one night. Very clean, quiet, easy to find and great location. Unless you stay more than one night you dont really get a chance to enjoy the place. It was chilly, it went from 75 degrees the day before to 35 degrees the next day, we really enjoyed the fire place, it was gas. I love having outdoor fires, but that wasn't possible it thunderstormed and rained. The gas fireplace was an awesome secondary plan, and very comfortable. I would visit again..

Pictures don't do it justice. The cabin had a great hang out area inside. Awesome outside-firepit with picnic table. All the comforts of home. So quiet and peaceful.
Had a great night at the cabin. An interesting cabin with all the friends that Walter has kept in store in the living room! The cabin is well stocked with everything you need. Check-in was easy. Place was kept clean. The rocking chairs were a the perfect spot to sit with a drink and relax at night.
