Matthew F. Jun 30, 2025 08:57:08 AM
Summary: The property was as described and a wonderful spot for our laid back vacation. Quiet. Comfortable. Simple, but more than adequately equipped.
Nan N. Jun 23, 2025 11:35:58 PM
Summary: Lots of fun for the girls. Down by the river. Around the fire at night. Swimming in Mifflinburg and going to Chilly Willy’s for ice cream.
Nan N. Jun 19, 2025 11:13:10 PM
Summary: Loved being so close to Penn’s Creek. Very nice rustic cabin. Plenty of room. Lots of amenities. Sitting on the porch is divine.
Pam O. Jun 17, 2025 08:34:29 PM
Summary: Location was perfect for long weekend in town visiting family. We enjoyed seeing the eagle in the morning and relaxing on the deck overlooking the water at the end of the day. Staircase to upper floor where bedrooms are located is pretty steep so getting luggage upstairs could be difficult for seniors. Also a step down into the kitchen as well as the laundry room. Overall, we enjoyed our stay.
Ashley B. Jun 17, 2025 07:14:58 PM
Summary: Amazingly well stocked cottage had EVERYTHING. It was super comfortable and relaxing for us and our kiddos.
Howard G. May 30, 2025 09:56:40 PM
Summary: Came here for our son's graduation from Bucknell. Convenient location, room for whole family. Clean, nicely appointed cabin. Great communication with owners. Would happily stay here again.
Deann S. May 29, 2025 12:35:27 AM
Summary: Memorial day weekend was a lot of fun. The photos make it seem like the river is closer but we still had a great time. The neighbors cats cans over and kept my kids entertained on the front porch. The porch swing was a nice touch. Very comfortable vibe.
Shelley B. Mar 31, 2025 08:02:34 AM
Summary: We were attending a wedding nearby and needed a place to stay for the weekend. Cabin was clean and well-kept with all the comforts of home. Stairs to the 2nd floor were a little steep, just something to be careful of
Cher B. Dec 16, 2024 07:14:27 AM
Summary: House was beautiful and comfortable! Situated in a picturesque setting. Hosts thought of everything!
Nov 12, 2024 04:01:39 AM
Summary: The owners have put heart and soul into the property. Never expected to see a reverse osmosis system in a rental property. Guidance and instructions were very helpful. Being right on Penns Creek was a sightseeing experience
