Great cabin in a convenient location for Elk Viewing

This cabin was a wonderful find! It is the perfect size for four adults and is very well stocked, furnished, and decorated to enhance the enjoyment and relaxation of the area. The cabin is immaculate and you can tell there is pride in ownership and the ability to provided a perfect stay. Our last evening there, we saw four elk across the road. Amazing! We will stay here again when we visit the area!

Quiet and clean little place to get away!

This little cabin was perfect for our family’s quick getaway to nature. This basic and tidy place boasts a well-stocked and functional kitchen, as well as a cozy gas fireplace. There was some timber being cut in the back of the property, which makes for different scenery than the online picture; however, there was no work being done while we stayed there, so it was quiet. The cabin is close to several hiking areas and friendly local restaurants & shops. We really enjoyed our stay and would return again!

Great stay

The house was clean and well kept. The kitchen was well stocked, and had a variety of odds and ends. The gas fireplace created a warm, cozy environment, and kept up comfortable all night. It took us a bit to figure out that the unit would kick off occasionally, but would eventually come back on. My only recommendation would be to let renters know in the listing that bedding is an extra expense. This is not disclosed until after booking. Thanks for everything!

Weekend getaway

Great little place for our party of 5 adults. Property was clean and in good order. Beds were comfortable and pull out was as comfortable as they typically are. Easy communication with owner. Close to a lot of attractions in Benezett. The cabin sits just off Rt. 555 so there is sometimes a lot of traffic going by when sitting out by the fire but, it is quiet inside the cabin. We enjoyed our stay and would definitely stay again.

Wonderful weekend getaway

We had a great time getaway away from life for the weekend. We wanted to enjoy nature and see some Elk. We spotted a heard of elk on the way to our home away from home and continued to see some throughout the weekend. The rental is a cozy little place that is clean and nicly decorated to make you feel like you are at a cabin. The kitchen had all the gadgets we needed. We cooked on the grill that was provided. We definitely look forward to coming back!

Really enjoyable, again!

This was our second trip to the Benezette in six weeks. Bryan and Jenn are super hosts. This was the second house we rented from them My wife and I, and the two pups, continued our exploring of the area/region. This time we were not disappointed by seeing some Elk up close. We actually saw a single Bull Elk standing in a yard while we were driving around. Very impressive! The local hotel is a great place for a meal, snacks and beverages. Enjoy!!!

Liked: Cleanliness
Inside was clean warm and comfortable. Outside needs a little cleaning up around the property. The most disappointment was not having any linen for beds. It would be nice if this was spelled out in the brochure or description of the property. The entrance was unsafe because the snow wasn’t removed before we arrived and eventually turned to ice.

Family Elk Viewing Trip

Booked this cabin for a quick family getaway to Elk County. Owners were very responsive and provided all necessary information prior to our arrival. When we arrived everything was very clean as described. The only thing that put a damper on the beautiful view of the property were pallets of building material in the backyard. The water in the house also had a strong Sulphur smell but I attributed that to staying in the mountains. Overall we had a lovely time and were able to see lots of Elk!
