Cabin in the Big South Fork/Pickett State Park Area.



The Big South Fork/Pickett State Park is an excellent area to get away from it all. Outside of hiking to the Twin Arches, most trails are sparsely utilized. There are not many restaurants in the area, so the kitchen is a focal point to enjoy after a day's hike. The kitchen at Hikers Hideaway is stocked with cooking gear better than most to account for the distance to town. For example, there is a crock pot to cook while you hike. There is a six-quart Instant Pot to give a try. I will block out an entire day after guest leave to eliminate "turns". A turn is out at 11 and next guest in at 3. Spacing out guest arrivals ensures the cleaning lady time to address extra cleaning steps and processes. Please plan to enjoy the outdoors in the Big South Fork this season.

Hikers Hideaway is a 760 Square Foot cabin with front and back covered decks (hammock hooks!) on 2 acres in Spruce Creek Acres. Both front porch and back deck have sitting arrangements. Located off Highway 297 between the Bandy Creek Park Headquarters for Big South Fork and the Pickett State Park Visitor Center on Highway 154, this cabin offers the opportunity to access hiking trails in both Parks. In addition, the Pickett-Pogue International Dark Sky Park is nearby making this hideaway convenient for astronomers. I am sorry to say the cabin does NOT provide any type of horse facilities (No HORSES) plus NO ATV usage (or side by sides) are allowed in Spruce Creek Acres or at Hikers Hideaway. In addition, the cabin is NOT pet friendly (NO DOGS) and of course is SMOKE FREE.
However, hikers, naturalists, canoeist, astronomers, photographers plus anyone looking to enjoy attractions and events in the Big South Fork region will find "Hikers Hideaway" cabin and its location ideal. Once booked, the owner can provide hiking advice to some of the off the beaten path arches, waterfalls and landforms this unique area offers.

The one topic of concern is keeping up with garbage. There is a new bear proof garbage "cage" that holds a 20 gallon trash can. Please do not over fill garbage as the cleaning lady struggles with heavy to lift bags and unruly trash. There is a typical 12 gallon can in the kitchen. It is recommended to eliminate excessive packaging prior to arrival. Any trash bags left outside often result in animal issues with an ensuing mess. A mess caused by improper garbage handling can result in a damage deposit charge. This is the reason for the new bear proof garbage.

Pickett State park has recycling near the campground dumpster. Guest with multiple day visits can arrange a pickup schedule prior to the duration of your stay. Please do not call at the last minute. Which is to say please plan ahead to keep the garbage from being a negative. There is a dump station at 2075 Pickett Park Highway and 515 Fairgrounds Road in Jamestown. The Pickett Park Highway dump station is open on Tuesday/Thursday and Saturdays.

Perfect cabin in the Big South Fork/Pickett area

My wife and I loved our stay at the cabin! It's in a perfect location relative to Big South Fork (only 15 min away from Bandy Creek area) and Pickett State Park. Cabin is well-maintained and very CLEAN. The large covered porch area in the back is a perfect spot to relax, recover from a long day of hiking, and enjoy a beverage. We were impressed and plan to return
