Bearly Awake cabin- family-friendly, riverfront & minutes from East Branch Lake.

  • Our Cabins... Your Escape! Unplug & recharge in our modern, family-friendly ‘Bearly Awake’ cabin located in the heart of the PA Wilds, along the Clarion River, and minutes from East Branch Lake. The perfect getaway for out-of-town guests or locals looking to go off-the-grid. The cabin sits in a serene setting, yet is located near a variety of restaurants, microbreweries, wineries, shopping, and grocery stores. Hop in a kayak, canoe, or tube and head down the river to The Dam Inn for great food, drinks, and entertainment or Bendigo State Park for swimming in their in-ground pool. The fun doesn’t stop there. Take a short drive to East Branch Lake for more fishing and boating. Don’t want to leave the cabin… no problem. There’s direct river access to go fishing and swimming and plenty of wooded area and hills to take a leisurely stroll or hike. Enjoy days and evenings on the patio, alongside the fire pit roasting hot dogs and making smores or cooking out on the gas grill. The possibilities are endless! And make sure to sign our guest book before you leave.

Amazing place!

We were in town for a family reunion about a mile away and this cabin was absolutely perfect! Not only is in spectacular shape, the outdoor area is peaceful and so fun. Brandon was fantastic and I could not recommend this place more. We will absolutely be back every year for the family reunion (and maybe even another time too)!

Beautiful Cabins

We absolutely loved staying in these cabins! They were beautiful inside, the beds were comfortable, the space clean and the kitchen was well stocked. The access to the river was perfect for kayaking and tubing. The fire pit and pavilion were situated perfectly for spending time with family in the evening or having a peaceful cup of coffee in the morning. Many of us are local to the area, but this felt like a true vacation destination even though we were just a short drive from home. We really enjoyed our weekend here and are already planning our next trip!

Right on the River

We have been visiting this area to fish for years. When we spotted these new cabins in the spring, we knew we wanted to stay here! Everything is new and the location cannot be beat! Easy access to the East Branch of the Clarion River. If you're not in the mood to cook, it is a short drive to The Dam Inn. Bendigo State Park is less than 3 miles away or take a short drive to East Branch Dam and Lake. Of course, I wouldn't blame you if you never left the cabin...the view from the cabin and fire pit can't be beat! We saw an otter swim up the river both mornings we were there. I cannot say enough good things about this property! We will be back!

My family attended a family wedding the week a the Dam Inn and reserved both Gone Fishing and Barely Awake for the weekend.We found both properties to be very clean, nicely furnished and looked to be almost brand new.Both cabins are situated with the North Branch of the Clarion river running through the back of the property. When we did have free time, it was spent enjoying the early fall weather in the comfortable chairs around the firepit. If we would have had more time, we certainly would have taken advantage of the fire pit, fishing opportunities in the back yard or kayaking down the river.The two cabins are appoximately 30 yards appart and you can easily walk between them in the grass path or the gravel roadway.The only caution that I would give is that the cell service is very limited in that area of Elk county so calling or GPS service is difficult to get. If you are not familiar with the area, make sure that you print out a map and load the address into your directional app prior to leaving St Mary's as it's not available near the cabin. Also, plan on texting with members of your party as the cell service in the area is very schetchy.Everyone commented that they would have like to have spend more time at the cabins.Communications with our host was great. Jess was very responsible and checked on us after we checked in.

In a word, SERENE. The location was heavenly! There were people in the adjoining unit but we never heard them, probably due to the sweet sound of the river. Everything was clean and so comfy. They do themselves a disservice by listing the second bedroom as a “twin”. The bunk beds are at least full size, maybe queen. We will definitely stay here again when back in the area.
