Rickett's Glen state Park! Our cabin is only 1/2mile from the trail head.

We have a beautiful cabin On 10 acres that border Ricketts Glen State Park. The cabin is only 1/4 mile from the trail head at the foot of the mountain. This state park offers beautiful views year round. Whether you would like to hike the 22 waterfall trails, rent a kayak on Lake Jean or curl up with a good book on the sandy beach of the lake, we have the peace and quiet you have been dreaming about! There is also excellent mountain biking, cross country skiing, snowshoeing, trail running, and hunting. You will enjoy a relaxing outdoor experience at our cabin. We have a comfortable interior with hardwood floors and all the comforts of home including air conditioning. The outside has many sitting areas including a fire ring and covered back porch.
Please note that we have another mountain home which borders the park. This home would be better for a larger group 4-8 or a family that likes more space. It has 2 bathrooms, 3 bedrooms and a large kitchen, family room and game room.

Relaxing Stay
Comfortable quiet cabin. Just sorry we didn't get to dine at the Ricketts Glenn Hotel just across the street. Was packed every night. So make reservations ahead of time if you want to eat there.

Nice getaway
Nice cabin in the woods near trail head of Ricketts Glen. I especially liked the little gift shop at the cabin the owner provides, as we didn’t find a gift shop at the Glen. When we arrived Jeff introduced himself. Clean and quiet cabin

Great Stay!
This place was great. Gave me and my friends a chance to unplug and relax. Tv with a lot of movies to watch was so nice. There is no cell or Wi-Fi. I highly recommend this place if you are looking for a weekend away.

Quiet, secluded yet close to the road/park/eats, really nice and comfortable cabin.
Jeff was great. He keeps the place nice, and we wanted to leave it nice. Grill, fire pit, porch with chairs, full kitchen, full bath, air, WiFi, new mattresses. 3 great days, 3 great nights. We'd come back in a heartbeat.

Rented both houses for wedding at Ricketts Glen
Adorable cabin in the woods, wish we had more time to sit and enjoy but we're fairly busy with my daughters wedding nearby at Adams Falls. We stayed here with kids ages 4-11 and had my parents stay at the other house, as this house has a spiral staircase and all bedrooms are upstairs. Would stay again.

The Colonel's Cozy Cabin
The cabin was cute and space was well used. I especially enjoyed the porches and walking the little trail behind the cabin in the morning. We LOVED Rickett's Glen State Park and how close we were to it. Jeff was a fantastic host and was so responsive. He even stopped by with something we needed for the kitchen sink. We would come back in a heart beat.
