A Haven in the Heart of Elk Country

Located only one mile from the town of Benezette, Buck Haven Lodge is a cabin that offers close proximity to Elk Country’s best attractions, but also boasts 6 private acres of wooded land for tenants to enjoy. Elk routinely move through the old-growth hemlock and pine, with masses of native ferns coloring the forest floor.

The newly renovated Buck Haven Lodge has two bedrooms, a full bath, a fully-stocked kitchen, and a cozy living room complete with a propane fire place. Whether you are interested in elk viewing, fishing, hunting, hiking or just experiencing the beauty of the Pennsylvania mountains, Buck Haven Lodge offers both convenience of location and enough privacy to enjoy your getaway.

The living area boasts a spacious, open floor plan. The kitchen has large appliances including a full-sized refrigerator, propane stove and oven, and microwave. Small appliances such as a coffee pot and toaster are available, as well as a generous number of other items to ensure you have everything you need to prepare and enjoy a meal, such as pots, pans, bakeware, serving utensils, plates, cups, eating utensils, etc. The living room has enough seating for everyone with a couch (which is a sleeper sofa that can accommodate extra guests), loveseat and a recliner. For those chilly nights in the mountains, guests can enjoy the propane fireplace. There is a flat-screen television with Dish Network and WiFi, as well.

There is a spacious, full bathroom with a commode, sink, and bathtub/shower combination. There are two bedrooms, each bedroom has a window looking out at the woods behind the cabin, a queen-sized bed and generous closet.

For those looking to relax by a campfire and enjoy the mountain air, there is a custom-made fire ring with swinging grates for cooking over the fire. There are also two Adirondack chairs at the front side of the cabin for guests to relax in while enjoying mountain views.
During your stay at this cabin, you'll be within walking distance of Main St Park. Enjoy your stay with amenities like a kitchen and a fireplace in the cabin.

Amazing!
Buck Haven lived up to the name as we got to see a large ten point Buck and a 6x6 Bull Elk right in the yard. The lodging is quaint and cozy, perfect for a small family or couples retreat. Would happily book again in the future!! 😀

Great cabin in a convenient location for Elk Viewing
This cabin was a wonderful find! It is the perfect size for four adults and is very well stocked, furnished, and decorated to enhance the enjoyment and relaxation of the area. The cabin is immaculate and you can tell there is pride in ownership and the ability to provided a perfect stay. Our last evening there, we saw four elk across the road. Amazing! We will stay here again when we visit the area!

Musty Odor
Just opening the door a very strong odor of musty, mildew or possible dog urine which was covered up by a strong scent of some type of air freshener or catpet treatment. The beds were comfortably but lots of squeeks. AND no bed linens or towels supplies. I obvious missed that In the instruction. The coffee cups were dirty. Outside area was junky looking.

Family Elk Viewing Trip
Booked this cabin for a quick family getaway to Elk County. Owners were very responsive and provided all necessary information prior to our arrival. When we arrived everything was very clean as described. The only thing that put a damper on the beautiful view of the property were pallets of building material in the backyard. The water in the house also had a strong Sulphur smell but I attributed that to staying in the mountains. Overall we had a lovely time and were able to see lots of Elk!

Really enjoyable, again!
This was our second trip to the Benezette in six weeks. Bryan and Jenn are super hosts. This was the second house we rented from them My wife and I, and the two pups, continued our exploring of the area/region. This time we were not disappointed by seeing some Elk up close. We actually saw a single Bull Elk standing in a yard while we were driving around. Very impressive! The local hotel is a great place for a meal, snacks and beverages. Enjoy!!!

Great location
We enjoyed a nice weekend getaway. We saw lots of elk and whitetail deer. Drove up to the amazing Kinzua Bridge and had a delicious dinner at the Benezette hotel and coffee and ice cream at Elk Life! Cabin was a great location for all the things we wanted to do.

Quiet and clean little place to get away!
This little cabin was perfect for our family’s quick getaway to nature. This basic and tidy place boasts a well-stocked and functional kitchen, as well as a cozy gas fireplace. There was some timber being cut in the back of the property, which makes for different scenery than the online picture; however, there was no work being done while we stayed there, so it was quiet. The cabin is close to several hiking areas and friendly local restaurants & shops. We really enjoyed our stay and would return again!

Wonderful weekend getaway
We had a great time getaway away from life for the weekend. We wanted to enjoy nature and see some Elk. We spotted a heard of elk on the way to our home away from home and continued to see some throughout the weekend. The rental is a cozy little place that is clean and nicly decorated to make you feel like you are at a cabin. The kitchen had all the gadgets we needed. We cooked on the grill that was provided. We definitely look forward to coming back!
