Tucked against wooded lands at the end of a gravel drive, The Elk Grove is a perfect escape for families, couples, and outdoor enthusiasts looking to stay right in the town of Benzette without being feet away from other tenants. This three bedroom, two bath house, with a full finished basement is spacious enough for larger families, but cozy enough for couples. The Elk Grove is walking distance to many attractions in Benezette, including the Elk Country Visitor’s Center, Benezette Wines, The Old Bull Café, The Benezette Hotel, the Elk Trail, and the waterways of Trout Run and the Bennett Branch of the Sinnemahoning Creek. Despite being so close, guests can still feel far away with picnic and fire pit areas where you see more trees and wildflowers than neighbors! Elk regularly visit the property to graze in the yard, or look for apples on the tree only 20 yards from the windows in the dining and kitchen areas. The former occupants told us stories of how "Fred," the former Benezette town bull, used to sit just under two bedroom windows regularly! So don’t be surprised if you see an elk staring in your bedroom window when you wake up! The Elk Grove has a full kitchen equipped with a propane cooktop and double ovens, a full refrigerator and freezer, and a microwave. The eat-in kitchen has table seating for four, where guests can sit with their morning coffee or evening glass of wine and watch the elk come into the yard to graze on the grass or search for apples. The living room has enough seating for the entire family and includes a comfortable sectional sofa, recliner, and rocking chair, as well as a flat screen television with Dish Network. The upstairs bathroom features a tub/shower, toilet, and vanity illuminated by custom tin lighting that accents the mountain wildlife themed room. There are three generously sized bedrooms upstairs, two with queen sized beds, and the other with a king. There is plush carpeting throughout the living room and bedroom areas. Each bedroom has ample closet space for longer stays, as well. There is also a large hall closet to collect the family's coats during those colder months in Pennsylvania. There are a washer and dryer located in the finished basement available for tenant use. The basement is carpeted, with a full bathroom including a toilet, sink, and stand-up shower. There is more than enough space for the kids to play here! For outdoors lovers, there is a picnic table under roof for outside meals, even in the rain. There is also a fire pit area outback with a perfect view of the woods behind the house. The Elk Grove offers all of the convenience and close proximity to the attractions of Elk Country without the encroachment of other cabins, we hope you will join us! ## Property amenities ### Internet - Available in the cottage: WiFi ### Parking and transport - Parking on site ### Kitchen - Coffee/tea maker - Cookware, dishware, and utensils - Hob - Microwave - Oven - Refrigerator - Spices - Toaster ### Bedrooms - 3 bedrooms ### Bathroom - 2 bathrooms - Bathtub or shower - Shower ### Living spaces - Fireplace - Living room ### Entertainment - TV with cable/satellite channels ### Outdoor areas - Barbecue grill - Firepit - Garden - Patio ### Laundry - Laundry facilities - Washing machine ### Comfort - Air conditioning - Heating ### Pets - Pet friendly - Welcoming dogs only - 2 pets total ### Suitability/Accessibility - Gravel flooring in public areas - Designated smoking areas ### Services and conveniences - Phone ### Location highlights - In the city centre ### Things to do - Arcade/game room - Table tennis - Birdwatching nearby - Fishing nearby - Golfing nearby - Hiking/biking trails nearby - Horseback riding nearby - Hunting nearby - Kayaking nearby - Mountain biking nearby - Mountain climbing nearby - Wildlife walks nearby - Winery tours nearby ### Safety features - Carbon monoxide detector not reported (host has not indicated whether there is a carbon monoxide detector on the property; consider bringing a portable detector) - Smoke detector not reported (host has not indicated whether there is a smoke detector on the property) ### General - Garden - Unit size: 3,000 square feet ## Similar properties ![Interior](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/34000000/33940000/33931100/33931036/f09f7928.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Minutes from Attractions, Miles from ordinary Benezette - Kitchen - Pet-friendly - Air conditioning - Outdoor space 9.6 Exceptional 170 reviews [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-11-10&endDate=2025-11-11&selected=33931036&PinnedHotelID=33931036&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Fridge, microwave, oven, stovetop](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/34000000/33660000/33659600/33659572/7d2e2128.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### A Haven in the Heart of Elk Country Benezette - Kitchen - Pet-friendly - Air conditioning - Parking available 9.6 Exceptional 167 reviews [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-11-10&endDate=2025-11-11&selected=33659572&PinnedHotelID=33659572&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Exterior](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/97000000/96530000/96528500/96528411/d15cd2b7.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Cabin-style tiny home along best elk viewing road Benezette - Free WiFi - Air conditioning - Parking available - Toys/games 9.4 Exceptional 28 reviews [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-11-10&endDate=2025-11-11&selected=96528411&PinnedHotelID=96528411&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Terrace/patio](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/101000000/100960000/100957500/100957499/993c500f.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Cozy Cabin Boarding Winslow Hill Elk Viewing Area!
