Ricketts Chic Farmhouse Retreat w/ BUBBLE Tent \*\*\*Featured on PA Bucket List and Discover NEPA!\*\*\* https://pabucketlist.com/spending-the-night-in-a-star-bubble-in-columbia-county-pa/ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xrWny0jwdeg Get ready for amazing stargazing, beautiful sunsets, and comfortable seclusion in this beautifully modernized farmhouse tucked between farm field and forest. This newly renovated farmhouse has tons of amenities (including a stargazing BUBBLE TENT!), allows for you to curl up in cozy comfort, and is perfect for families. Conveniently located 19 min from Ricketts Glen, 20 min from Bloomsburg, and 45 minutes from Knoebels Amusement Park! Upon arrival you will drive down an old dirt/gravel road through beautiful farm fields and will possibly be greeted by a deer or wild turkey. The house sits on a 1+ acre secluded plot surrounded by mature trees and lovely farm fields; it is safe and perfect for the kids to run around on! There is a new deck overlooking the forest with an outdoor dining area and BBQ. There's also a fire pit equipped with outdoor lighting, recliner chairs, and a fully stocked S'mores station. And did we mention there is a BUBBLE tent with a telescope for stargazing? Stillwater is one of the best stargazing areas in all of Pennsylvania so whether you want to enjoy an hour looking up at the heavens or feel adventurous and want to sleep out under the stars (the tent is furnished with a queen bed), this is a unique opportunity you won’t find in many places! Inside you will enter into a comfortable, modern farmhouse living room equipped with couch, rattan chair, and streaming TV, which includes Disney + and Netflix among other channels (note: the Wifi is a bit spotty at times. Streaming can be slow but I work from home and have not had any difficulties with video calls.) The kitchen features an oven, stovetop, full-sized refrigerator, farmhouse sink, waffle maker, popcorn machine, dishwasher, and microwave as well as any cooking utensils you need to cook a proper meal. The coffee and tea station is equipped with a glass pour-over coffee pot, single-serve coffee machine, coffee grinder, and your choice of complimentary coffees and teas. Also downstairs you will enjoy a lovely 8-seat farmhouse dining table with a beautiful chandelier overhead. And finally, grab a good book or enjoy a cup of tea while taking in stunning forest views in the sunroom, which boasts a large daybed and hanging succulent décor. The second floor hosts three bedrooms and a full bathroom. The first bedroom is decorated with simple farmhouse elegance and boasts a queen bed with memory foam mattress, microfiber sheets, and plush pillows. The second bedroom is astronomy themed and contains a queen memory foam mattress/pillows as well as microfiber sheets. The final bedroom houses 2 bunk beds and is perfect for children. With a whimsical firefly mural, children’s tent, star night light, TV with DVD player, and plenty of children’s toys, it is a space that is designed for both play and for rest. We want you to feel as comfortable as possible and offer the following amenities: • Memory foam mattresses for each queen bedroom. Overall there are 2 queen beds, 2 bunk beds (4 twin beds), and one twin day bed. An additional queen bed is outside in the bubble tent if you want to enjoy a night under the stars. • Microfiber sheets and memory foam pillows • A fully equipped bathroom with hair dryer and comfortable towels • Pour over coffee and tea station with Pirouline chocolate wafer sticks • Popcorn machine with popcorn • Box air conditioning units in dining room and both queen bedrooms. The other bedroom has a window fan that will keep the room quite comfortable. • Wifi • Keyless entry system • Large firepit with large outdoor seating and smores station • Deck with outdoor dining area • Lawn games, including badminton, cornhole, wiffle ball, and horseshoes • Foosball table • Bubble stargazing tent • Telescope • Children’s accessories (i.e. Pack N Play, toys, games) • Welcome trays The entire house is accessible for you, with the exception of the unfinished basement, which is locked.

Jul 5, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Peaceful Getaway We enjoyed our quiet stay with family and loved that the farmhouse was a short drive to Rickett’s Glen State Park. Our granddaughter loved the bubble tent and the adults enjoyed the campfire. ##### Charla F. Stayed 3 nights in Jun 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### The S.

The host has thought of everything you would need to make your stay comfortable and fun. Their little extras are amazing with plenty of supplies to make your stay effortless. All the bed mattresses are very comfortable too. We would return for another time in the future. ##### The S. Stayed 3 nights in Nov 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Elliot S. Jul 16, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Birthday Stay at Hyview Hideaway! We stayed at this place for my girlfriends birthday, we wanted to be close to the Ricketts Glenn state park to hike the waterfall trails! The drive there is absolutely gorgeous! We wanted a change from the area we typically stay in which is more urban, but this was more rural and it was so nice to be away from everything and enjoy the view and the wildlife!! It was a very clean and cozy place to spend the weekend at, the kitchen had everything we needed! It was extremely comfortable, 100% would be staying again!! ##### Elliot S.

Loved the decor. The house was very clean. Check in and out was easy. We had everything we needed. Patrick was so nice and responded quickly to any questions we had. ##### cheryl j. Stayed 4 nights in Oct 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Jennifer F. Jul 25, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Beautiful property & stay! I cannot say enough how wonderful our stay was. The amenities were excellent. I was prepared with things I brought that were already in the house. The property was perfect for kids, so much room to run around and play and the firepit was used daily (when it didn't rain) to sit and visit with our family. Plenty of games and things for the kids to do. Which I appreciated! Location is rural, lots of wildlife but super close to the town of Benton which was adorable! The owner was always available for questions and responded very timely. Again a wonderful stay and would stay again! ##### Jennifer F.
