A high chair and pack and play are also available for use.

Linens - Sheets and Towels provided for an additional fee - upon request.

Firewood is not provided but is sold nearby.
Please purchase firewood nearby for the firepit. Due to lantern fly infestations in other parts of PA, we prefer you do not bring firewood from outside the area.

Check-in: 4pm
Check-out: 11am

*Check-in/out times may be adjusted with prior approval. If check-out is later than 11am, not previously approved, and affects another reservation part of the security deposit may be withheld.

When staying between Nov - April some snow accumulation should be anticipated in the area. A FWD, AWD, or 4WD vehicle is best for these conditions - as driveways and roadways may have some snow cover.

We encourage all of our guests to purchase travel insurance for unforeseen circumstances and cancellations.

Beautiful cabin near the park
The cabin was beautiful and the trails at Ricketts Glen was just a 10 minute ride up the road. Perfect time of year to see the falls. The owner was very responsive anytime I had questions.

About the host

Host profile image
Hi!
We are Jessica & Doug.
I (Jess) grew up right down the road from Ricketts Glen State Park - working at Lake Jean as a lifeguard through high school and college. I did not realize how lucky I was living so close to this little gem in PA! Once I moved away for work - I missed the area, the quiet, and the people. Once we bought a cabin to spend the weekends, we wanted to share it with others when we were not using it. We love to share the local area and great little places tucked away in Northeast PA!

What makes this property unique
