Quaint, quiet, clean, and cute deer visitors ever morning and evening. Turkey visitors also. Did not disappoint as home base for day drives and elk viewing. Will definitely return if in the area again. Thanks to both of you!

My family and I had a wonderful stay at this cabin. It is extremely clean, and the views from the porch are beautiful. At the cabin, we saw deer, a turkey, a coyote and 2 bald eagles (1 adult and 1 juvenile). We were lucky enough to see elk on our first night in Benezette. We finished our our getaway with a bonfire and s’mores at the cabin. I would highly recommend staying at this location. Communication was excellent as well.
Awesome wrap around porch with beautiful views.

This adorable, cozy home is nestled in the serene beauty of majestic mountains and countryside. It's the perfect place to unwind. My mom and I absolutely loved it. We immediately felt at home. Loved the porch and the view from it, the privacy of the property, the pece and quiet, the opened floor plan of the cabin and the firepit outside.
