The property is so peaceful and feels secluded even though there are neighbors close by. We especially enjoyed the bird songs in the woods all around. The host was very considerate and conscientious.

My husband and I were desperate for a peaceful and relaxing getaway, where we could take our Boxer, Remmi. We found that on Bear Mountain, where it felt like we were out in the middle of nowhere, yet when we really needed something, we were only about 15 minutes from a store. We were welcomed to a very clean cabin and from the start, the owner was great with needed communication. We truly enjoyed sitting around the fire and walking the woods with our dog. We got to relax, clear our mind and we will definitely be back!!!

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

We are adventurers so traveling up to the house could be ruff if you don't have 4 wheel drive, which we do. We had a little trouble with getting in at 1 in the morning, But David texted the code which allowed entry. That was my mistake reading a security thing. We checked out Cunningham falls, nice. We tried to have a fire. Husband saw a deer. Sandra

Wonderful visit

Very nice cabin, Owner was very kind in giving us better directions than Google Maps. Fyi. Follow his directions, it is much easier than trying to get up that mountian following Google Maps.
