Everything we could’ve hoped for!
The cabin and property are simply beautiful. We had perfect weather and our only regret is that we had to go. Everything was cleaned and well maintained. We will definitely be coming back in the future!

Cabin on the Front
Gathered to watch the harvest moon and partial eclipse, but were fogged in. We still enjoyed the experience, the cabin is small, well equipped, cozy. Nice outdoor spaces.

Charming Cabin, Breathtaking Views, near Hawk Watch
The cabin was cozy, quaint, complete, and thoroughly adequate for the two of us. The view!!! Wow. And there is just something about mountain air, so refreshing. We spent two days at the Allegheny Front Hawk Watch, a true natural wonder during migration season. In four hours the group counted over 400 hawks and eagles. The group of hawk watchers who gather there regularly were friendly and welcoming, offering helpful insights about the migration, and included us in the counting work.

A retreat from a hectic world!
I was looking for a small cabin with a mountain-top view.
All those desires were met in this cabin, and more!
I would highly recommend giving it a try!

Solitude with a View
We've never been to a place so secluded and peaceful. To boot the view was beautiful. We were concerned about no A/C but realized being so high on the mountain afforded continuous cool breezes keeping us comfortable. Wishing the master bed was larger as it kept for tight sleeping quarters for us. Overall...so pleased. Already booked for next year!!!

Much too much.
This place is fantastic. The location and view can't be beat. The solitude and peacefulness are more than one could hope for. Out golden retriever, Jake, loved the woods and the freedom as he and Kath hiked the trails. Would love to see this again with the fall foliage.
The cabin was great. Photos on line do it no justice. Perfect place to relax and recharge.

Great time!
It was a cozy cabin just like the desciption says. It was clean and had everything at our disposal. Id recommend it to any family looking to get away for a few days. Super relaxing and the view is to die for!
This location has a beautiful view and secluded to enjoy privacy and quiet. I was a little concerned about no a/c as we had a heat wave during our stay but there was always a breeze going so it was very comfortable to sleep with windows open and a fan on.
The only reason for not giving all 5 stars is due to some minor things (missing blow dryer, empty soap containers and blown lightbulbs). The host was contacted and feedback was well received. This was likely caused due to a change in housekeepers. Also, the host had very good response time even though she was out of the country.
Overall the trip was just what we wanted…. Time to get away from the daily grind, relax and reset.

Peaceful Getaway with Million Dollar view!
Wow! We were in the area for a family reunion and are so happy that we booked with Kim! The cottage is nicely laid out and has everything you need. Loved the morning sunshine and spectacular view. Enjoyed the deck, fire pit, the birds and the fresh mountain air. Had a couple days in low 80’s but the breeze flows through the cabin and kept it cool. Would definitely return and next time add a couple more days to just kick back and enjoy the lovely space

This is my second time staying at the cabin with my two German Shepherds. My brothers stayed with me a couple of nights too. It is such a unique wonderful cabin and I love it. My dogs really love it there too.
