A high chair and pack and play are also available for use.

Linens - Sheets and Towels provided for an additional fee - upon request.

When staying between Nov - April some snow accumulation should be anticipated in the area. A FWD, AWD, or 4WD vehicle is best for these conditions - as driveways and roadways may have some snow cover.

We encourage all of our guests to purchase travel insurance for unforeseen circumstances and cancellations.

Falls Trail Winter Closure: As of today 12/6/24 the entire Falls Trail system will be under its annual winter closure due to ice and snow conditions being present. Only visitors who have signed in with the park office and have the required minimum amount of safety equipment (crampons *not micro-spikes*, an ice axe, and rope) are permitted into the trail system at this time. The trail system will be closed until spring when things begin to thaw out, which is usually sometime in March.

Snowy Winter Retreat
The property was well kept, homey, and clean. There was plenty of room, and the location being close to the Falls Trail was wonderful. We got to hike the trail after receiving 6 inches of snow. Absolutely wonderful!

Beautiful Cabin!
My wife and I loved this cabin and highly recommend it for anyone looking for a stay near Ricketts Glen! The cabin itself is beautiful and very clean. The host was very attentive and helpful with tons of great information inside the cabin regarding the surrounding area. It is a great bonus that it is located within minutes of the park!

Perfectly quaint respite
We booked this home due to its proximity to Rickett's Glen and due to all the positive reviews. The reviews are as accurate as can be. We agree - 5 stars - 10/10. A perfectly quaint cabin/cottage on a secluded lot. A perfect mix of rustic and modern. Plenty of heat, a Roku TV, open staircase, well-appointed kitchen/living room. The aspect that solidifies our high rating is the owner's communication. Very prompt and personable. They checked in on us the day after we checked in. Thank you!

Weekend Away
We love staying at the cabin each year with our family. The cabin is always clean and inviting. The property is beautiful and our family sips coffee while watching our grandchild play in the yard. It is so great to be so close to the park so we can hike each year. Thank you for everything!

Cute Cabin
The cabin was very cute and clean. The location is perfect if you want to visit Ricketts Glenn for hiking. Only issue was it is much closer to a road than anticipated, so traffic is definitely heard in the mornings. Our wifi did not work and we were unable to find the router to reset as the instruction book said that was left on the counter. Last, there was a loud vibrating sound that woke us up in the morning

Beautiful all around!
We only had one short night at this cabin and it was not long enough! It's extremely cute and well kept and has everything you need. Plenty of space for multiple people although it was just the two of us and felt perfect. The fire pit is amazing we were out there all night. Extremely close to Ricketts Glen which is why we were there so it was incredibly convenient. We'd love to come back again! Hosts are very communicative and we're very helpful.

Fine rustic cabin
The cabin was fine with two exceptions. The traffic noise was a real problem for us. Also the kitchen area was just too dark. Some under cabinet lighting could provide an inexpensive and easily installed solution.
