About this house rental

Nestled in the picturesque valley of Little Cove in south central PA

The 1948 square foot, three bedroom, 2 bath home has an open floor plan design with a loft over looking a fully furnished kitchen, dining and family room.

The home is surrounded by state game lands with hiking trails, springs, beautiful wildlife and awesome mountain views. The home has beautiful gardens to enjoy from the screened in porch, back deck or front porch. Feel free to build a campfire in the backyard fire ring, or grill steaks over a propane grill. Enjoy one of our many board games in the living room or listen to crickets and frogs while you sip iced tea from the furnished front porch. No laundry worries as fresh towels and linens are provided and the home away from home has a laundry closet with washer/dryer, ironing board, iron and other extras. The home sits on 100-acres of ground composed of a diverse mix of mature mountain hardwood forest, open fields, hiking trails, horses, and mountain springs. The home is one mile back a gravel road in Little Cove off of PA State Route 456 providing a very private and tranquil experience and yet convenient access north to PA Route 16 (10 miles) and south to MD Interstate 70 (7 miles).

We are always treated like family when we stay here. Julie and Darin are always offering to help with any needs. We were even greeted this time with Darin bringing us some gifts!! These getaways are so, so precious for us ladies and the house feels so welcoming to us every time!!!

I can't say enough good things about this rental. From the communication with Julie to the property itself, this spot is a gem. The house is delightful, the grounds are gorgeous, and I guarantee all the stresses of day to day life will vanish as soon as you check in. The birds sang all day, the frogs and toads serenaded us nonstop, and the cheery splash of the waterfall was perfection. Every space in the house is welcoming and comfortable, from the kitchen to the living room, to the porch, to the patio, to the surrounding grounds themselves. Just heavenly. The only thing I'd note (and it was really a plus, not a minus) is that there's practically no cell phone coverage, so plan ahead for using their internet to stay in touch, rather than your cellular connection. We had to restart the router once, but other than that, email and messaging worked just fine. On the whole, we loved the feeling of seclusion and tranquility.
