Reasonably priced stop if you need firewood. (Not allowed to bring outside wood into the ANF) Eventually at some point I might just book something here for the convenience.
It is a very cozy place with different rooms. The owner Peggy is very friendly and she cooked great breakfast me and my husband. She cooked French toast and omelet for us in the morning and I love the pancakes with maple syrup very much. There are four bedrooms in the second floor and one bedroom in the first floor. She let us use her telescope to see the hummingbirds in her backyard. Her dog Ruby is very friendly too. It is just a pity that when we were there the temperature dropped to 50s. My husband and I had to change plans of kayaking and biking because it was too cold. The room was a little cold for me too but it was perfect for my husband. Generally,we had a nice time camping and enjoy Peggy's house very much.
It's a cozy place and the owners are very nice people. I slept well and enjoyed breakfast. I also took a pleasant walk behind the property in a very scenic woods. The beautiful Minister Creek hiking trail is also a few miles down the road. I don't think you can beat the price also for this area. The frogs are chirp and make a very enjoyable ambiance. The host said the fire flies are extraordinary in late June which I plan to return for their firefly festival. Humming birds maintained a constant presence on the back porch. Loved it!!
Great place to stay! See amazing fireflies during warm summer nights.
Very friendly staff and a nice place to stay! The area is very pretty and the house is charming. It is located right next to the Allegheny National Forest so it's very remote and quiet. A restaurant is located just a short drive down the road. Would definitely stay again!!
We had a wonderful time! Peggy and Ken are amazing hosts and go out of their way to make you feel welcome and comfortable. The house is beautiful and minutes away from hiking, kayaking, snowmobiling, and pretty much any other outdoor activity you can think of. Be sure to visit in the summer for the annual Firefly festival to experiences one of nature's most beautiful and magical experiences.
