Very pleasant
Property was very easy to find, nicely furnished, and quite comfortable. The only problem we had was that we couldn’t access the WiFi- we tried several times but we couldn’t get it and even though we are old, we are relatively computer literate. Just wondering what happened to all the beautiful trees in the back of the property. We would stay there again..

Clean, Cozy, Convenient
I was participating in a local 5K, in one of my fav. PA places. We loved our stay, the location was perfect to the welcome center (location of race) and drive for Elk viewing. The cabin was super clean and cozy! The hosts are WONDERFUL! They are very responsive to all of our needs, and super accommodating.

Cozy, cozy, cozy!
This was our first time spending more than a few hours in Benezette. We stayed from Sunday to Tuesday and the weather was unseasonably warm for November. The cabin was so clean inside. We loved all of it! We couldn't light the pilot on the gas fireplace, but we didn't try for too long as the living area was so cozy we didn't need it for ambience. The couches were comfy and the bed in the Bear's Den was dreamy. We didn't see any elk at the cabin but our visit was after their peak season. We did see a herd of 27 at the elk viewing center though. The cabin is on Rte 555 but there was hardly any traffic and we never heard anything outside. The kitchen had everything we needed even though we didn't cook a whole lot. Plenty of space though if you would want to prepare a feast! I highly recommend this cabin for anyone looking for some relaxing, time away. Cell coverage is sketchy, but that was one of the main reasons we came up here, to unplug from everything! We would stay here again.

Very clean and cozy- nice back yard, grill and firepit. Very nice for 2 couples! We recommend installing a fan in the bathroom and a blind in the bear bedroom. We loved our stay! Thanks!

Visit to Elk County
This cabin was conveniently located and provided the necessity needed in a cabin. We had a great trip and saw a Big Bull Elk across the street from the cabin.

Listing needs updated
The actual property looks nothing like the listing. The fireplace in the living room did not work. The oven did not work. Several of the window blinds are severely damaged & just barely hanging on the windows. We found a live roach hiding in the paper towel roll in the kitchen. Would be nice if there were directions on how to operate the television. There are 2 different remotes & very confusing. I think the rate to rent this property is too high.

The cabin was clean, very comfortable and very relaxing.. We enjoyed our 2 days in Benezette. We had one problem in that the cabin was still being cleaned when we arrived at 3:56 which was early but it was after 4:10 before we got in the cabin

Disappointing rental for the cost.
#1: The unit is conveniently located, however, it is less than 50 ft from the highway, which is pretty noisy. #2: The unit appears run-down. Needs new paint, of the windows that have venetian blinds, NONE are functional. The front door has no covering over its large window, and the window in one bedroom has a sheer curtain, but no shade. #3: The general information fails to mention that bed linens and towels are not included in the rental. The renter is notified of this only after securing the reservation. In addition, the renter is also informed upon arrival that they are expected to clean up after themselves at check-out. Given the cost, over $400 for two nights, this is ludicrous. #4: No instructions on how to use the TV #5: No instructions on how to use the propane fireplace or AC. #6: The tap water smells of sulfur. Renters should be warned to bring their own drinking water.

Clean although it smelled like a camp.
Not exactly like the pictures. Outside of camp looks nothing like the picture. Smaller than pictures show. Front door needs a hip to it to get it open. We blew a breaker 3 times. You can't use the air cond. while using the microwave and toaster. Floor in the bedroom ran down hill. Too close to the main road.
