Guest Reviews – Camp Can’t Keep Up

“Heaven in the woods!!”

” This was a beautiful little cabin, with a stream running behind it!
Absolutely loved it! It was well kept, clean and well stocked with kitchen utensils. If you enjoy nature and the quietness of the outdoors, you will love staying here. The elk were in our front yard and in the back yard. We were absolutely thrilled. Would stay there again and would recommend it to anyone. The Fall foliage was stunning too! Loved it, loved it, loved it! Was a great way to spend a birthday!!! =). Also, for those who are attached to your cell phone, there is no cell phone reception in this area where the cabin is located, Thus it was soooo peaceful!!”

“Picture perfect location!”

“We stayed at the cabin for 3 nights with our extended family to celebrate xmas together and we loved it. The cabin has a beautiful livingroom/kitchen with an open floor plan and plenty of room for kids. The owner is genuinely helpful and it is obvious he loves the outdoors and utilizes the space he has to create a retreat that is both adult and child friendly. There is something for everyone here. It is peaceful with little or no traffic and easy to access from the main road. My granddaughter actually cried because we had to leave! The cabin is well stocked with anything you might need in the kitchen. My husband and I have stayed inseveral places in Benezette and in many places in general and this one ranks in the top three of the places we have been in the state of PA. For the price and all that is offered here you will NEVER get a better place to stay!”

“Perfect Getaway”

“Perfect cabin for those who like camping in comfort. This was a central location for our family to meet for a getaway weekend. It was all we hoped it would be. Fun for the kids, lots of nature to explore, rainbow trout to cook over an open fire, and all the amenities we are used to at home (proper kitchen, ac, wifi, and hot showers). The cabin backs to a perfect bubbling stream, and we really enjoyed the feeling of being far from big cities and traffic. We will definitely be back.”

“Beautiful cabin great location”

“Very clean and comfy cabin. Had a very nice visit. Saw 2 big bull elk right up the road. When we arrived we had deer in the yard and saw deer every day in the yard. Kitchen has everything you need to enjoy your stay. Decorated very nice inside the cabin and has a nice little stream with trout right behind the house. Will recommend to anyone. Will definitely be staying here again.”

” This is a great cabin”

“The pictures shown do not do this cabin justice. Its neat as a pin and has just about everything we’d need with our crew of seven – warm, cozy, outdoor swings for younger children, a small creek in the back. The area is wonderful. We wanted to hike…miles of trails are just up Hicks Run a mile or so. We wanted to see elk…there was a huge 6 x 7 about a quarter mile south feeding in the creek bottom with his harem of cows. You are within 10 miles of the elk viewing area and deep in the middle of some gorgeous countryside. Highly recommended.”

“Great weekend”

“Thanks so much for sharing your cabin…we had a great, relaxing weekend there. Cabin was clean and had plenty of room for our two families (4 adults and 4 elementary-aged kids), and we especially enjoyed the rope swings and the firepit area. Lots of room to hike, fish, look for wildlife, etc., and easy access to Benezette (we saw more elk just randomly roaming around the area, including near the cabin, than at the actual viewing areas!). Definitely hope to return to this spot in the future.”

“Beautiful cabin in elk country”

“The cabin and surrounding exceeded our expectations. The inside of the cabin is likely the cleanest we have ever seen. The beds are comfortable as are the couches, chairs, and all of the accommodations are well above average. Outside the porch swings, fire ring, and benches made for great relaxation throughout the day and into each evening. On top of that, we were able to view elk two mornings in a row at various spots right along Hicks Run Road and the very last Bull we observed was within 30 feet of the camp porch. No hesitation in recommending this property.”

“cabin paradise”

“If you want an unbeliveably clean, spacious, get away from it all type of place, look no further. I an an outdoorsman, this is absolutely my dream cabin. Beautiful stream is 40 yards away if you can see it through the elk heard that might be in the yard!!! My gf and i drove 3 hours around to look for elk, and had a GREAT laugh when they were right in the yard!!. Doesent get much better than this!”

“Gorgeous location, clean and spacious cabin”

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The cabin was clean and well stocked. I appreciated finding spices and other necessities in the pantry and laundry supplies by the washer. The front yard is beautiful and has ample space for two active boys to run around and play catch. During the evenings we enjoyed having s’mores by the bonfire. We brought a small telescope and got to see the moons around Jupiter at night. We loved riding our bikes up and down the gravel road every morning and discovering critters and fishing spots along the way. We fell in love with a fishing hole about a 1/2 mile up the road and my son caught a lovely trout there. There are very few stores/restaurants nearby, but that is part of the fun! We bought groceries along the way and enjoyed many breakfasts on the front porch. I would highly recommend this cabin!
