About this house rental

Welcome! Camp Critter is situated along the banks of Hicks Run and provides perfect accommodation for anyone who wants to experience the PA Wilds. Whether you are a hunter, fisherman or just want a peaceful getaway, this is the place for you.

Several improvements were completed in February of 2025 including: New Living Room Furniture, a newly repainted kitchen and a newly refinished kitchen table. We also provided several new items in the kitchen as well as some new mats and area rugs to freshen things up. More improvements to come as the year progresses.

The Cabin features a fully equipped kitchen, spacious living area and room to sleep 8. There are two large decks, front and back for relaxing, listening to waters of Hicks run or watching the Elk and Deer that frequently visit the yard. A gas grill is available with propane provided. The yard is roughly 2 acres and provides plenty of space for the kids to run around.

Camp Critter is a 20 minute drive from the Benezette Visitors Center and walking distance from the Hicks Run Viewing Area. The cabin sits on Hicks Run, a stocked trout stream accessible from the back yard. If hunting or hiking is your intent, the cabin is just minutes away from State Gamelands and the Elk State Forest.

Please Note: The owners DO NOT provide Linens or bath towels at Camp Critter. This is due to having no laundry services available.

Great cabin right along Hicks run road and with Hicks Run in the back yard. Visited the Wed to Fri before Memorial Day weekend so there was not traffic and no one fishing. Very quit and a huge variety of birds. Fishing was great too.Our family had a camp (Mt Dale) just up the street for 30 years so it was really nice to come back to the area for a few days. And Camp Critter is a huge upgrade from our camp since we had an outhouse and sporadic water.

Camp Critter is a great place to stay. It is centrally located with easy access to Benezette, Sinnemahoning, Driftwood and Medix. My brothers and I have been coming her for 5 or 6 years now and we'll be back next year. Highly reccomended!
