Perfect getaway

My husband and I had a lovely stay. The gorgeous view alone would have been plenty, but the entire place was cozy, well-furnished, comfortable, clean, charming, and quiet. Had a great time trying to spot birds in the trees with kindly provided binoculars—which was just the kind of low-key activity we were looking for. It exceeded our expectations.

Much too much.

This place is fantastic. The location and view can't be beat. The solitude and peacefulness are more than one could hope for. Out golden retriever, Jake, loved the woods and the freedom as he and Kath hiked the trails. Would love to see this again with the fall foliage.

Peaceful Mountaintop Cabin

We loved this cabin on a secluded mountaintop. The view was beautiful. We saw lots of wildlife including bear, fox, deer and turkeys. The campfires at night were great. Lots of hiking trails nearby. Be sure to bring necessary supplies as there are few restaurants, fast food places, convenience stores, big box stores, etc. nearby. And follow directions to find cabin.

Solitude with a View

We've never been to a place so secluded and peaceful. To boot the view was beautiful. We were concerned about no A/C but realized being so high on the mountain afforded continuous cool breezes keeping us comfortable. Wishing the master bed was larger as it kept for tight sleeping quarters for us. Overall...so pleased. Already booked for next year!!!

Peaceful Getaway with Million Dollar view!

Wow! We were in the area for a family reunion and are so happy that we booked with Kim! The cottage is nicely laid out and has everything you need. Loved the morning sunshine and spectacular view. Enjoyed the deck, fire pit, the birds and the fresh mountain air. Had a couple days in low 80’s but the breeze flows through the cabin and kept it cool. Would definitely return and next time add a couple more days to just kick back and enjoy the lovely space

Charming Cabin, Breathtaking Views, near Hawk Watch

The cabin was cozy, quaint, complete, and thoroughly adequate for the two of us. The view!!! Wow. And there is just something about mountain air, so refreshing. We spent two days at the Allegheny Front Hawk Watch, a true natural wonder during migration season. In four hours the group counted over 400 hawks and eagles. The group of hawk watchers who gather there regularly were friendly and welcoming, offering helpful insights about the migration, and included us in the counting work.
