A little slice of heaven

If you are looking for peace, quiet, nature and solitude, this is it. We had our dogs with us and they loved the adventure. Our host was great--very attentive and helpful. We will be going back in the spring.

Real nice cabin in the woods

Great facility, clean and up to expectations. The 3 of us, my wife our dog and myself were impressed. The road is a bit rough and would hesitate navigating at night. Overall a great stay

Relaxing nature getaway

Our stay was very relaxing. The house looks exactly as pictured- clean and well equipped. The host, David, is extremely responsive. The house is tucked away on the mountain side and our two dogs absolutely loved the private outdoor space. We saw lots of deer which was fun! We felt very at home and enjoyed our stay!

Perfect

This cabin in the woods is exactly what our family was looking for. This was our second time back and will be returning. I love that it is literally at the top of a mountain. It was clean and Dave the host is incredibly quick to respond to any messages I have. The location is perfect. If you like a quiet, sit around a campfire with your friends and family kind of vacation, this place is perfect.

Rob from Mi

We loved the Little Bear Mountain cabin! We were able to check stuff from our list! Less than an hour to Hershey, and a short distance to Gettysburg, we were able to do both. We even took a suggestion from our host and cooled off at a State Forest lake close by. Neat and cozy, we enjoyed down time at the cabin. Our host was amazing with communication and made check in and our stay a breeze. I would recommend this place to anyone!

Gettysburg Getaway

Cozy cabin in the woods, very off the beaten path (SUV and GPS a must, in our opinion). Went for a long weekend, wanted a place that would be close to Gettysburg for hubby to visit battlefields and for me to sit back with my dogs and be "one" with nature while working on my writing. Both boxes checked. Cabin was clean, plenty of area for our dachshunds to run in the leaves. Enjoyed morning breakfast with the neighborhood herd of deer that came to visit each morning. Dave was very easy to communicate with as well as accommodating with a few requests we made. Would consider reserving again.

Great little hideaway

This was a welcomed reprieve from the hustle and bustle of everyday life. Cute place with ample room for 2 adults and our four-legged friends. The host was very responsive and even offered to have a plumber come out and look at the very slow draining kitchen sink. We opted just to deal with but hope it does get fixed as it was a little difficult to ensure the dishes were clean. Other than that, the place was great! Would recommend to friends!

Hidden Gem

This cabin was exactly what the doctor ordered. The host Dave answered every question I had right away. I even asked him for some recommendations on where to eat while we were staying there. There were little touches that made it feel like a home not just a “rental”. I was lucky enough to get an extra day off at work and was able to add another night to my stay. The cabin was super clean. While staying there we enjoyed ourselves so much that we canceled our upcoming vacation and are now going back. If you are looking for a quiet place away from city life this is it. Can’t wait to come back again…

Nice Relaxing Vacation near Gettysburg

We visited Gettysburg and stayed at this property which is about 30 minutes from the National Historical Park. After a long day of walking and touring the Battlefield it was nice to come back to this property and have a nice peaceful evening. The house is secluded and in a very quiet area. We really enjoyed our stay
