Cabin was very cozy and quiet with great views. Nothing better than eating a a table and watching deer and turkey walking by.

Quaint, quiet, clean, and cute deer visitors ever morning and evening. Turkey visitors also. Did not disappoint as home base for day drives and elk viewing. Will definitely return if in the area again. Thanks to both of you!

My family and I had a wonderful stay at this cabin. It is extremely clean, and the views from the porch are beautiful. At the cabin, we saw deer, a turkey, a coyote and 2 bald eagles (1 adult and 1 juvenile). We were lucky enough to see elk on our first night in Benezette. We finished our our getaway with a bonfire and s’mores at the cabin. I would highly recommend staying at this location. Communication was excellent as well.

This adorable, cozy home is nestled in the serene beauty of majestic mountains and countryside. It's the perfect place to unwind. My mom and I absolutely loved it. We immediately felt at home. Loved the porch and the view from it, the privacy of the property, the pece and quiet, the opened floor plan of the cabin and the firepit outside.

Very Peaceful and serene. Was able to detach from reality for a little while and just relax. The stars were beautiful at night and the cabin was very clean. Great overall experience, would highly recommend.

My wife and I stayed here at the end of July 2024 and had a wonderful time. The house itself was spotless and cozy. Sitting out on the porch/deck every night watching the star-filled sky was awesome. Fortunately, weather was on our side, and it only rained one night during our week-long stay, so we got to enjoy the sky just about every night. Unfortunately we did not see any elk, but a doe and her fawn would visit several times a day, and the calls of coyotes, screech owls, and barred owls almost every night just added to our enjoyment.
As for the house itself, as mentioned it was spotless. Every room was clean and comfortable, and it had everything that we needed. And the wine was absolutely delicious. My wife and I are not wine drinkers and almost did not have it, but I am glad that we did as I never had a sweet wine before and it was very good. Communication with Mike and Terri was also very easy, and they responded right back with a question that we had when we arrived. As previous comments indicated, there is no cell phone service at all (they do have a house phone) so you will need to connect to their WiFi to access VRBO or the Internet. One thing, the password was updated so it was not the same that was emailed to us. Not a big deal as the updated password was in a basket on their dining table, but just keep that in mind if you are trying to connect to the WiFi and having an issue. We figured that out in no time. I would definitely recommend this house.

The rental was very accommodating for our annual Old Guys Fishing event. Had everything needed available in nice quiet private setting. We made friends with the local farmer and were given access to fishing from his property. We learned some new streams areas to fish and had a great time.

I was very impressed with the cleanliness, not only with the cabin itself but all the dishes, pots and pans ; silverware; glasses (I’m very fussy when it comes to cleanliness). We probably spent most of our time sitting on the porch, we loved the privacy. We didn’t want to leave and can’t wait to go back!
