Loved this Cabin
I travelled with my mother to hike the Falls Trail at Rickett’s Glen, and we wanted to be comfortable in our downtime. This place was perfect. It’s just a few minutes to the park itself, and the parking lot at the bottom of the trail is right down the road. There is a 90% chance you’ll miss the driveway the first time, even if you read a review warning you the driveway is easy to miss, lol. This is not a complaint! Even though the cabin is close to the road, it’s completely tucked away and private. Everything was clean, the beds were comfortable, and the furnishings were very nice. I loved the pulls on the fan. Bathroom is adorable and I was surprised to see a medicine cabinet stocked with basic needs like bandaids, q-tips, shampoo, etc. In my experience, most hosts are less generous. We really enjoyed our stay, and would definitely stay here again if we decide to tackle the Falls Trail again.

Cozy cabin by the creek
Rental was easy to find, clean and well equipped. Nice location for visiting Ricketts Glenn. Some highway noise but nothing to great. Rental is not very large but is adequate for 2-4 people. Stairs to the upper bedroom if it is used may be an issue for someone with mobility problems. We needed heating and the control of the temp is accomplished by individual heaters and a main room large heater so you need to adjust each room. Property is beautiful with the creek just out the back door. Nice porch to view the creek and forest. Host was a great communicator.

Cozy Modern Cabin
If you’re looking for a cozy little cabin, I highly recommend this wonderful place. It’s perfect for a weekend getaway. This cabin has everything you need to include extra toiletries. You are 10 min at most from the Ricketts Glen waterfalls and close to places to grab a bite to eat. I didn’t want to leave! Thank you for letting us stay here!

Cute, efficient and close to where we needed to be.
Instead of staying all the way in Wilkes-Barre at a hotel when visiting my sister for the family cookie weekend, we found this gem just 7 minutes away! We appreciated the location, very serene. It was a tad difficult to turn off into the driveway from 118 as the signs are small. Something different and/or reflective would help. Would stay here again.

Cabin in the woods
The place is nice and very close to Ricketts Glen State Park which is amazing with over19 waterfalls. The kitchen oven was filthy we had to use it for our dinner. They do have a gas grill The place has some nice homey touches however the kitchen needs a total upgrade including replacing some of the pans We also had problems with the heat The place is better suited for warmer weather retreats.The host was helpful.

Great Weekend at the Cabin
The four of us very much enjoyed our stay at the Creekside Cabin. The cabin was very clean, had everything we needed and there was plenty of room for us to gather together along with space to be alone. Being close to Ricketts Glen SP was very nice, hiking the trails and the waterfalls was a treat. And the great restaurant suggestion Jessica gave us for our anniversary dinner at Jonathan’s was perfect. We look forward to a return stay. Wayne and Rita
