This is a very nice home with a beautiful landscape and surroundings. Sadly we were there for only 12-15 hours as a stop on our way home from vacation. I would go back for a relaxing and quiet getaway in a heartbeat as the space is cozy and the location is very private. The hot tub is a nice addition to the stay and we wished we had time to utilize the fire pit. It was also nice that they had a good amount of stuff to accommodate small kids. Would go back for a longer stay if I have the chance. Very happy overall!

This cabin was clean and stocked with plenty of the basic items needed. Everything was of great quality, from the dish soap to the towels. The cabin is stocked with books, games, and toys for children. The host was in constant contact and always responded quickly. Highly reccommend

Elam's place was perfect for us. It had everything thing we needed for a peaceful, relaxing time with our family. Elam was very responsive when we had questions or needs. He messaged us the first evening making certain we arrived safety and found everything satisfactory. We have stayed at many Airbnbs across the country and Elam is one of our two favorite hosts. We will definitely rent from him again and look forward to staying in his beautiful house when we visited central PA again. Thanks so much for sharing your home with us, Elam.
