Additional charge
The house is a man camp that advertised as pet friendly, We brought our 3 year old golden retriever who we had gotten groomed a few days before. The host requested an addition charge after we left for pet hair, even though there was no vacuum cleaner for us to use. There was also only one small partial roll of toilet paper so we had to buy our own.

Great little getaway
Everything was great, the cabin was the perfect little getaway from home. It was so relaxing being right by the water and sitting out on the porch. The owner was quickly responsive to any questions we had. Thanks for the stay!

Perfect Weekend Getaway
My daughter and I stayed here because we were in town for The Mud Girl Run. The house had all the basics that we needed. Communication with Earl, the host, was phenomenal. We stupidly locked ourselves out of the house while exploring the property and Earl spoke to us on the ring camera and helped us get in. We had a bit of trouble logging into Netflix on the TV (used our credentials accurately but still gave us an error) but that just made us play foosball and card games which was better anyway! We built a fire in the fire pit and made s’mores and saw a cute baby bear peeking at us from a neighbor’s house, then saw a family of bear cross the street into the woods. I was very happy with our stay!!!

Great cabin in the woods
Booked a few nights at earls cabin to break up a long drive home. Had a very easy check in while arriving late and great communication from Earl. Cabin had everything you need for a comfortable stay. Right on the river with a beautiful view. There is a house next door very close to the cabin the neighbors were very nice but when sitting on the back porch / back yard they were very close so if your looking to be totally secluded its not but again neighbors were great and rive was beautiful. Good pick for a country stay.

Wonderful Little Hunting Cabin
This was a great place to rendezvous with our extended family. We stayed the whole time and our adult children and their kids visited us. There is a fence at the edge of the property over the river so we didn't have to worry about the kids when we walked over to the river (which you can see in the winter from the kitchen window.) Bear Creek Preserve has great trails, 5 min away. This place would be perfect in the summer. Adult Kids slept on air mattress in upstairs bedroom and said it was fine. Grandchildren thought the place was "super fine." Definitely warm enough. Pretty easy to find in the dark, with lots of light at night. (Very curvy country road.) Nice firepit with chairs and picnic table for the summer. The first picture of waterfalls is Buttermilk Falls, on the Bear Creek Preserve, about a 20 min drive away. The other waterfall is Choke Creek Falls, Pinchot State Park, Thornhurst, about 12 min away. Both are lovely hikes, great for dogs and kids. Our dog loved the place, wagged her tail as soon as she walked in. It feels comfortable. For folks with walking issues, there's easy access to living room and bedroom. There is a little 3 steps up and then down to the kitchen/bath at the bottom of the stairs to the top floor. We saw deer in the yard several times. The kids played with the Foosball table game. Had no trouble with hot water or the internet. Will definitely seek out this place again, both winter and summer.
