What's nearby

  • Mini Takes the States 2014 Road Rally Buffalo to Bethlehem Leg: Gobblers Knob... well, I guess that is better than naming it Knob Gobblers. We stopped to see the famous ceremonial pulpit of Punxsutawney Phil, the mythical groundhog in Punxsutawney, Pennsylvania. We have all seen Bill Murray in Groundhog Day but the ceremony of Phil's prognostication does not actually take place in town like the movie suggests but two miles east of town at the unusually named Gobblers Knob. The Movie was actually not even filmed in Punxsutawney but in Woodstock, Illinois. The Groundhog Day celebration has its in Celtic tradition. If a hibernating animal casts a shadow on February 2, the Pagan holiday of Imbolc, winter will last another six weeks... no shadow early spring. #minitakesthestates

Awesome stay

Amazing trails, awesome wildlife viewing on trails in comparison to public trails. Super well maintained and pedicured property without taking away from the fields and wooded areas. The cabin is a short walk to the lake, and watching the fireflies in the evenings was amazing. Was looking forward to star gazing but it was pretty cloudy, I assume it would be phenomenal!

This a perfect spot to connect with nature and bask in beautiful views! I needed a place for solitude and reflection and this property hit the mark. It was clean, well cared for, and the owners have such a gift of hospitality! Every detail was just so thoughtfully planned out by them. The private hiking trails were such a bonus! I will definitely be back! Thank you again.

Beautiful scenery

I can’t wait to come back next year! The cabin is gorgeous and secluded which I enjoyed. All the details were left in a binder so I didn’t need to ask any questions. I took full advantage of the fire pit but on the rainy days I was grateful for the Wi-Fi service. And don’t forget the view of the lake, absolutely stunning!

A piece of Paradise!!!

Wow, what an AMAZING and absolutely BEAUTIFUL place! I'd give it 10 stars! Immaculately clean, beyond beautiful, so comfortable, the perfect lake, husband loved the fishing, used the kayak and paddleboat, and did all the trails! We knew we want to come back the minute we walked in. There were homemade muffins too and we loved the homemade wine he makes there you can purchase! Such a gorgeous property. The pictures just cant give you the feel of its beauty. The fall leaves were awesome. There is a reason everyone gives it a 10! come back the minute we walked in

Beautiful and Relaxing

This is a beautiful place, and to call it a cabin doesn't do it full justice. We had a fabulous and relaxing weekend - just what we wanted. Tim and Jennifer are fantastic hosts, and quick to respond for any reach out. The wine is great, and the muffins are phenomenal. Thank you for allowing us to spend a small amount of time in such a wonderful location and setting. We hope to be back again in the future! If you are considering their place, you most assuredly won't be disappointed.

One of the best trips ever!!!

My boyfriend and I had the pleasure of staying at one of the most amazing places! We had the opportunity to swim, fish, kayak and paddle boat at a lake right on the property within walk distance of the house we stayed at. Around the whole property there were many beautiful trails that were great to get some exercise in and also to enjoy the local wildlife and scenery. Words cannot express the great craftsmanship and care that went into this house. Tim truly provides anything you could need. Highly recommend also trying his delicious wine. His dog Dakota also came down to visit us for about 15 minutes when we built a fire out back and he is one of the friendliest dogs we have ever met. Truly a memorable stay and we will definitely be back! 10/10 recommend!!!

Secluded Retreat

This was a beautiful property! Living area was immaculately clean, high quality appliances, countertops, woodwork, and flooring. Beautiful setting. We enjoyed the pond and paddle boat (catch and release fishing). Took walks along the paved hiking paths. We also traveled the countryside and found fresh strawberries, jams, sauces, breads, and Amish baked goods. Host was very attentive when needed, but did not bother us during our stay. Wines available for purchase on site. Note to guests: this is in a rural community and we recommend planning on preparing your own meals on site as we did. However, there is a great small pizza shop nearby, Mama Rita's (about a 15-20 min drive). The kitchen supplies (utensils, pots, pans, etc.) were well stocked and nice quality. We had everything we needed for cooking. Also enjoyed the outdoor grill. The living quarter is above a garage, so there are 16 steps to get up to the room. I would not recommend this location for anyone that has difficulty with walking/steps. But if you are able, we highly recommend talking the hike around in the woods and up the hillside to see the view of the property. If we are ever back in the area, we would definitely look to stay here again.

Just what the doctor ordered

If you’re looking for a place to stay where you feel so calm and relaxed, this is it! This was like mental health wellness retreat for me. I woke up every morning with a beautiful view of the sunrise, burning off the morning fog on the lake. Straight from a movie scene. My favorite part was the walking paths through the woods. It was so serene and at times magical. I was literally obsessed with a particular part that was covered with moss with the trees and the way the sun shone through. So good!! When you crest the top of the mountain, you came upon scenery you only EVER see on a postcard. I took so many photos and videos. Everyday nature brought something new. I never wanted to forget those views. I strolled around the lake every evening and I noticed something different every night. I sat in the adorable gazebo, just a short walk down the pier. It lit up at night and you can see it from the cottages living room window. Like…how romantic!?!? The sky was so dark there, you could see millions of stars so clearly. The cottage was the cutest thing!! Nestled away from the neighbors, yet as a solo traveler, I felt a sense of safety. It was very clean, very modern, and the decor was gorgeous!! It’s really the perfect size for one. I personally loved the deer head on the wall. I named him Jimmy! Besties!! I spoke to Tim a few times and he was very kind and helpful with questions I had. Thanks Tim for being a great host! I definitely will be booking again in the near future.
