Cutest Little Cabin!

This place was adorable inside and out! I loved the décor. Everything was cute and comfortable. My absolute favorite was the screened in porch. We sat outside on the comfortable furniture with pillows and blankets as the sun set. We could hear the sound of the creek, many birds, and the wind in the trees. It would have been perfection if the traffic on the road outside wasn't so loud. However, the property was totally hidden from the road or any other houses. Very private and in the middle of nature. We had a wonderful time at Ricketts Glen State Park which was very close. Owner was very friendly!

Great place to stay.

Perfect place to stay for easy access to Ricketts Glen and surrounding hiking options. The home is well kept and had everything we needed. Camp fire pit outside was a big plus as well. Property manager was responsive and great to deal with. Whenever I make it back to the area I would definitely book it again.

Truly a hidden gem... If you blink, you'll miss it!

Cozy, cute, clean and quiet. This spacious cabin is ideally located near the magnificent Ricketts Glen State Park, and yet not too far out to allow for convenient access to the Wilkes Barre Scranton metro. If you are looking for an escape - a little hideaway this is a good shout! We'll furnished, and a complete enough kitchen to get the job done for the home chef with ingenuity. We will be back again, for sure!

Cozy getaway

We enjoyed our stay there and the area in general. The house has all the amenities listed and then some. Host is very responsive. There is some road traffic noise and I did end up using earplugs at night. But still a great little getaway.

Don’t stay here if you want to stay warm on a cold night!!

The owner would not turn on the main heat source for the house. The temps dropped into the 30’s at night. She instructed to use the baseboard heating in the bedroom & bathroom which took most of the night to heat those rooms. There was a small space heater which barely heated the living room, kitchen & dining area. It probably needed 3 more heaters in those rooms. Not a cozy stay by any means! We were disappointed after spending over $200 to be cold & uncomfortable. Otherwise the property was good.

Great little cottage

This cottage was perfect for my wife and I. We were celebrating our 15 year anniversary and it was super close to rickets Glenn. Very relaxing felt like we were in the middle of the woods. Wish we had more time to stay. We will definitely be coming back. Highly recommend this cottage for anyone looking to stay near rickets Glenn.

Relaxing home to return to after day of hiking!

We loved this little cabin. It was the perfect location for us to visit Ricketts Glenn State Park for hiking, and return to what felt like a home away from home for a good night's sleep. We also enjoyed the fire pit one evening. Would recommend this enthusiastically.

Peaceful getaway. Great place to kick back and relax after a day of hiking Ricketts Glen. Very close to the park. Near the highway but secluded by the surrounding wooded area. Great fire pit area outdoors with seating and screened in porch. Everything was clean and comfortable. We hope to come back again.

The cabin was a perfect size for our hiking getaway. Close to Ricketts Glen state park with amazing waterfalls. And not too far from Worlds End state park, which has a little bit more challenging rustic hikes. Cabin was clean & had all the essentials for our week. Perfect

Great base for Ricketts Glen

This is a very nice place to stay if you're spending extended time at Ricketts Glen. The location is great, hidden away off the main road but still easily accessible. It's very well-supplied; we had everything we needed. We loved the screened back porch and the hammock, and the grill came in handy. Jessica made sure we were taken care of. We highly recommend it!

Cozy and relaxing place

My partner and I had a great quick getaway at the cabin. We had everything we needed to make meals, rest, and relax. The setting was so lovely. We spent our evenings out on the porch listening to the birds and the stream running in the back. There were no issues, and when I needed a bit of check-out information, Jess responded straightaway. We hope to be back, and maybe with the family in tow.

Graduation Getaway

Ricketts Creekside cabin was exemplary! Its bucolic setting was perfect for a relaxing, fun getaway. This time away from work, clients, sports practices, screens etc. was a great idea for an 8th grade graduation gift for my son and his best friend. Time spent creek walking, hiking at the state park, reading amongst the trees, sitting around the camp fire, and playing board games was amazing. The cabin itself was neat, clean, and well appointed. The fawn, frogs, chipmunks, birds were all very welcoming! The host was communicative, friendly, and provided an abundance of information to make our stay comfortable and complete. An A+ experience all around!
