Mona and Bryson are the greatest hosts. I have stayed at many properties throughout the years but no one compares to them and their properties I highly recommend any of their rentals. They go the extra mile to make your stay as wonderful as possible. From fresh cut flowers on the table, to all the spices needed to cook. This property is a little piece of heaven. Warm and cozy ❤️ can’t wait to go back Thanks so much Mona and Bryson!

My husband and I really enjoyed our stay here. We wanted to get away to celebrate our anniversary, and couldn’t have chosen a nicer property that is wheelchair accessible. It was very nice to be without internet for a couple days and just focus on each other and nature. We especially loved the huge deck in the back, both of us love birds and there are a lot of them back there, we even saw an eagle! I am hoping to go back someday and venture out more!

We loved our stay here!! The cabin is wonderfully isolated, quite, and incredibly charming. Check in was easy, we had everything we needed during our stay (very well stocked kitchen), and the scenery was beautiful. Would definitely come again!

We really enjoyed our time at your cottage. We especially enjoyed sitting on the covered deck, because it was raining at times, watching the many birds that visited the bird feeders you had up. We even saw a woodpecker. The cottage is nicely decorated, clean and well stocked with supplies you may need. We would definitely like to visit again.

This property was the perfect place to get away for a quiet, relaxing, unplugged weekend. We went hiking in Ohiopyle which j Was only about 20 minutes away. The deck was great place to relax, read, and watch the birds. It rained for some of our stay but because they had a covered deck we could still enjoy the outdoors and it was that much more relaxing to sit and listen to the rain. Thanks again for sharing your beautiful home!
