La tranguilidad y la naturaleza

No hay nada malo es un lugar para repetir

This cozy cabin in the woods is the place to unwind. I grew up in rural Pennsylvania, so I felt right at home with the gurgling stream, and the flora and fauna of the woods. The house is just a short drive from Alpine Helen's center of activity and it's quiet and isolated, so you can relax away from the other tourists. The porch swing was a special delight to my island-born sons, who had only seen one in a book. If we ever come back, I'll be sure to rebook this place. And I will be recommending it to friends who live close enough for a weekend get-away. And for those who can only get so far away from civilization without going crazy, the internet service and cable are excellent (there's a satellite dish in the side yard). Plus those who have electric vehicles, there's a charging station. (The owners have thought of everything, except a washer and dryer, which would be a help with mothers with kids.)

I could have used so details on paper at the property. For example, the hot tub started running and there was nothing available to tell me "we keep the hot tub on and it will occasionally heat to maintain the set temperature. Don't freak out if you hear it running." I was concerned my kids had turned it on by accident. It took several messages back and forth to get this information. Also, the property could use a better marker at the end of the driveway. We were late, and it was dark and foggy when we arrived, and we missed the turn off. (Turning around on the narrow road was tricky in our mini-van.)

Great location. Secluded. Love the stream in the back with grill and fire pit.

Beds and couch could be more comfortable. Coffee maker was not working.

The scenery

The bed downstairs was uncomfortable and too small

The quiet location that’s convenient to town.

It would be nice if there was a half bath or a second bathroom, but that’s not deal breaker.

it was secluded and felt homey and the shower was nice

the fire place didn’t work. we tried several times. the hot tub was dirty and had a dirty bandaid in it which tells me it was never cleaned, it would never get warm enough anyways. the bed was not comfortable at all and very high off the ground. sheets had dog hair on them.

Seclusion

Bigger bed downstairs

We loved the access to the creek, and the fire pit! The screened in back porch with lights was such a beautiful place to relax.

We would’ve loved to have access to a washer and dryer. Mainly the dryer so we could dry our towels since we had a few to use for hot tub and showers.
