Located just 24 minutes from Cherry Springs State Park and under an hour from countless other scenic spots, our cabin is the perfect base for outdoor adventures or quiet relaxation. Whether you're stargazing under some of the clearest skies in the country or cozying up by the fire, our home promises a peaceful retreat from the daily grind. A Warm Welcome Awaits: Nestled on the side of Denton Hill and accessible via a private drive, the cabin greets you with its stunning handcrafted details and a large covered front porch—perfect for unwinding after a day of travel. Inside, the beauty of warm wood finishes and whole log beams creates an inviting, rustic ambiance. Relax and Unwind: The living room offers a cozy space for you to relax and recharge. Sink into the leather sofa (which doubles as a sleeper), or curl up in one of the butter-soft side chairs as you gather around the wood-burning fireplace. We provide a variety of classic board games and DVDs for your entertainment, making it easy to embrace the slower pace of cabin life. Home-Cooked Comforts: Our fully-equipped kitchen is ready for any culinary adventure. Whip up a big pot of chili for a cold winter’s day or prepare a family favorite. There’s seating for two at the kitchen’s peninsula bar and an additional table for two, perfect for sharing meals and swapping stories from the day’s adventures. Comfortable Sleeping & Thoughtful Amenities: Denton Hill Hideaway offers two charming bedrooms and a full bathroom—all conveniently located on the main level of the home. For extended stays, enjoy the convenience of an on-site washer and dryer. We’re also happy to accommodate little ones with a provided pack 'n play. And of course, we welcome furry friends, because your pets are part of the family, too! Outdoor Relaxation: Step outside and embrace the serenity of nature. Gather around the firepit to make s’mores under the stars or watch the wildlife that often passes through the backyard, including the occasional deer. The peaceful surroundings offer the perfect backdrop for both quiet nights and adventurous days. ## Property amenities ### Ski - Cross-country skiing nearby - Snowboarding nearby ### Internet - Available in the cabin: Free WiFi ### Parking and transport - Car recommended - Parking on site ### Kitchen - Coffee/tea maker - Cookware, dishware, and utensils - Hob - Microwave - Oven - Refrigerator - Spices - Toaster ### Dining - Dining table ### Bedrooms - 2 bedrooms - Bedsheets provided ### Bathroom - 1 bathroom - Hair dryer - Shower - Towels provided ### Living spaces - Dining table - Fireplace - Living room - Wood stove ### Entertainment - Books - Games - Smart TV - Video library ### Outdoor areas - Balcony - Barbecue grill - Firepit - Garden ### Laundry - Laundry facilities - Washing machine ### Comfort - Air conditioning - Heating ### Pets - Pet friendly - Welcoming dogs only - 2 pets total ### Suitability/Accessibility - Smoke-free property ### Services and conveniences - Iron/ironing board ### Location highlights - In a rural location - Near a hospital ### Things to do - Birdwatching nearby - Fishing nearby - Golfing nearby - Hiking/biking trails nearby - Horseback riding nearby - Hunting nearby - Mountain biking nearby - Rafting nearby - Sledding nearby - Snowmobiling nearby - Wildlife walks nearby ### Safety features - Carbon monoxide detector (host has indicated there is a carbon monoxide detector on the property) - Smoke detector (host has indicated there is a smoke detector on the property) - First aid kit - Fire extinguisher ### General - Garden - Unit size: 725 square feet ## Similar properties ![Smart TV, DVD player, ping pong, books](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/77000000/76820000/76815300/76815257/9726b776.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Beautiful Home on Pine Creek Backs up to Lyman Run State Park & the PA Wilds!!!!

They had dog bowls for our pups, the beds were so comfy. The views were absolutely amazing and you’re not too far from feeding the cutest little deers, souvenirs, gem mining, kayaking, hiking, atv rides, cherry springs, dollar general, and tons of little places to shop or eat, our dogs loved running around the mountain side, it was very peaceful and I will be back again. ##### Nosey P.

The cabin is perfectly located along what seems to be the main route to most major attractions. Everything inside was clean, well-stocked, and clearly prepared with care and thought.One thing to note: the walkway from the driveway to the cabin is pretty uneven and can be slippery when it rains. It was manageable for me and my daughter, but more challenging for my mom, who uses a cane. To be fair, the listing does mention that it’s not wheelchair accessible, which usually means uneven ground—we just underestimated it from the photos. She made it up and down just fine, just slowly. And truly, that was our only issue, which feels like a fair trade-off when you’re staying in a cabin on a literal mountain.What I adored most about the property is how quickly we felt at home. You know how some places are so sterile you’re afraid to touch anything, or so grimy you don’t want to? This struck the perfect balance- clean, but comfortably lived-in. One small thing really stuck with me: height marks on the back door trim, likely from the original owners. It made the place feel personal and loved. I hope they never sand it away.In short: if you’re questioning it, just book it. You won’t regret it. ##### Melissa G.
