Charming A-frame cabin nestled in Michaux State Forest. Enjoy the sounds of Mountain Creek from the comfort of the decks or relax on the bench by the water's edge. The cabin offers comfortable accommodations with 3 queen beds and a full bathroom. For those seeking adventure, the cabin is close to the 1/2 way point of the Appalachian Trail. Several lakes are within a few miles for swimming and fishing. We are a beautiful, easy 20 minute drive to Gettysburg. Unwind around the fire at day’s end.

This was exactly what we needed on this trip. It was absolutely beautiful and so peaceful, everything from the landscaping to the pond made the entire place feel like our own little private escape in nature.
The pond was incredibly clean, and we didn’t get bitten by a single mosquito the entire time! We loved having the paddle boat, fire pit, grill, and hot tub right there.The adorable swing by the pond and the little bench where you could sit with your morning coffee. There’s really nothing better than waking up to the pond or relaxing in the hot tub while looking out over the water.
Even though there are a few houses in the general area, you would never know it. They did such an amazing job with the landscaping, bushes, flowers and trees that you can’t see the neighboring homes at all. It felt incredibly private. There’s even a little wooded area to explore, which made it feel even more like you were tucked away in nature.
The cabin itself had everything we needed. The bed was SUPER comfortable, with just the right amount of pillows, and we loved all the thoughtful little touches throughout the property.
Between the pond(we caught fish), hot tub (super clean!) , paddle boat, fire pit,outside mood lights,projector,great WiFi,beautiful landscaping, privacy, and peaceful atmosphere, this place really gave us the relaxing getaway we were looking for. It was one of those places where you immediately wish you had booked another night! ( Also my dog loved it )

A beautiful and serene landscape, Donnie's small but ample farm backdrop was inviting and welcoming. The off-grid cabin set back in the woods was very private and nestled, with a cool evening temperature because of the wooded canopy. I recommend keeping the "screen" door open to fall asleep to the sounds of crickets.

This was a very cool rustic A-frame loft, on a cute farm populated with several dogs and even more pigs. We had a great time around the campfire. Groceries and some good diners are a short drive.

Weekend Trip to Tiny A-Frame W/ Heat/AC & Hot Tub
Absolutely wonderful experience in the tiny A-Frame! A weekend of massive storms and lots of rain, but we still enjoyed every second.
Felt decadent to be in the hot tub while it rained 😜
The AFrame and bathroom were immaculate and everything was easy to find and navigate.
We were pleasantly surprised to find there was a projector in the house and access to movies and shows.
The pond was beautiful, a real gem! Filled with salamanders and fish. Was way too cold to get in, but there was a paddle boat available and fishing rods.
Highly recommended!!
Thank you Jean for a fabulous stay!

Weekend Trip to Tiny A-Frame W/ Heat/AC & Hot Tub
This was the perfect cozy spot for a getaway. I only stayed one night and regretted not having a second night booked. I was able to relax after a long hike, and the owner was responsive and so sweet by offering me a late checkout. Highly recommend and I can’t wait to return!

We stayed in the A-Frame for a late fall weekend getaway and it was great. The cozy A Frame was great to sit around the fire and unwind. It had the amenities we needed (hot plate / access to water and a shower / and super close to plenty of activities). Jennifer and her family were very responsive to any questions we had and even made available items from their farms Farm Stand. We are already planning on coming back again next year.

Great place. Jean even had set up a hot water shower station. He's in works of building an actual bathroom and will definitely come back once that is done. The site is well thought out, and private although there is another property across the lake. Very responsive host as well! Thank you

We loved spending time at the Wren's Nest! It was cozy and cute, and just what we expected from the listing. Communication from Jen was very clear. We enjoyed visiting the animals on her farm and the best part is that it is close to our house, making it an easy getaway from the city!

It started off rocky cause Hurricane Debby really put a kink in everything. We unfortunately didn’t have many of the listed amenities as the site lost electric (Air conditioning, fans, pretty outdoor lights, WiFi, coffee maker, or refrigerator) until the last night when power was restored at 10 pm. BUT, the host was accommodating and helped make the trip the best it could be. My youngest loved the paddle boat. The animals were very sweet and the little piglets were amazingly cute and welcoming! My husband caught a couple small fish! The bed was relatively comfortable. There are houses around the pond so know you are in company of others and don’t be alarmed in a stray dog comes roaming to your site. We also ventured to Tobyhanna which is only a few miles away which has a lovely beach and hot showers. Overall, we had a great time even with some challenges!

Where to go
Pennsylvania Wilds
The evocatively named Pennsylvania Wilds blanket the north and boast some of the state’s best camping and hiking. Views of Pine Creek Gorge, the “Grand Canyon of Pennsylvania,” can be enjoyed at Leonard Harrison and Colton Point State Parks, and there are primitive tent sites and RV sites in the surrounding Tioga State Forest. To the west, the Allegheny National Forest covers more than 500,000 acres, with kayaking, ATV and mountain biking trails, and a national scenic byway.
Pittsburgh & the Great Lakes
Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania’s second-largest city, is the first stop in the state’s southwestern corner, and several state parks lie within easy reach. Top of the list is Ohiopyle State Park, where adrenaline seekers go to raft or kayak along the white-water rapids of the Youghiogheny River. In the north, camp resorts and RV parks with full hookups dot the shores of Lake Erie, and you can hop over to the Presque Isle State Park to hike, windsurf, and bird-watch.
South-Central Pennsylvania
West of the Philadelphia region, the state capital, Harrisburg, is the gateway to the southern stretch of Pennsylvania’s Appalachian Trail. Just to the south, a day trip to the chocolate capital of Hersey is a must to stock up for all those s’mores around the campfire, and there’s back-to-basics camping in Amish Country around Lancaster. The Allegheny Mountains rise to the west, where campers can hike in the backwoods, paddle along lazy rivers, or hit the ski slopes.
East Pennsylvania
All roads in eastern Pennsylvania lead to Philadelphia, where you can dive into US history and take a peek at the Liberty Bell. For a wilderness camping experience, head north into the Poconos Mountains—there are more than 100 miles of hiking trails in the Delaware Water Gap National Recreation Area, including 28 miles of the Appalachian Trail. Further west, Ricketts Glen State Park has waterfall hikes and a family campground with yurts, cabin rentals, RV camping, and tent sites.
