All ready for your summer expedition! Completely sealed up and draft free. Still a very primitive site, but the interior now keeps in the warmth from the fireplace. A set of bunk beds and a 4 seat table as well as some cots makes it work for up to 6 people. Plenty of tent area around of you have a bigger group! Sunnyday's farm and forest was a Christmas tree farm in the 1950's. I've owned it for the last 40 years and it is now a horse farm with pastures and woods. Rustic area of 25 acres of pastures and forest bordering a hundred of acres of railroad and municipal forest. Great for hiking, horseback riding, mountain biking. 1.5 miles from Deer Lakes park which has fishing, hiking, mountain biking, frisbee course and a great playground. The Allegheny river, judged to be one of the cleanest in the country, is just 6 miles away. Harrison Hills park offers great hiking along the river and an occasional river otter. The Rachel Carson Trail and Baker trail are just a few miles away. It is a secluded log cabin in the woods on top of a hill overlooking a pasture. It is a very primitive cabin with a fireplace, brick floor, large porch, fabric interior and no chinking in the logs. We provide a bunk bed and cots and a picnic table. There is a large grassy area in front of the cabin for tents. There is no vehicle access, no electricity and no water at the cabin, but LOTS of downed wood for fires. There are horses, goats, chickens, ducks and a pig that roam the pastures. The cabin is about 300 yards from the parking area up a fairly steep hill, but the location is worth the walk! If you're stopping with an RV or trailer we have ample parking near the road and have overnight accommodations for horses Great place for a stopover.

Enjoy a cup of provided coffee or tea beside the babbling brook which can be waded in or fish stocked trout. A full size fold down couch and twin-size air mattress is provided in your canvas tent.

Located roughly 20 miles from Beaver Creek State Park, DLR Mustang Ranch is a 17-acre peaceful sanctuary for many wild and previously wild mustangs. The Ranch offers veteran and first responder mustang programs year-round. Please let us know if you are a veteran or first responder for a special rate. Accommodations include a small one-room cabin nestled on a little pond a stone's throw from the main house and veteran program area. The cabin has electricity, a microwave, small refrigerator, tv, futon, heating and cooling; however, it does not have plumbing. Nearby is an outhouse with electricity and a water pump fed from well water. There is a firepit for cooking and picnic tables available. There is also a flat space for tent camping right beside the cabin area. The outhouse and firepit are shared between the cabin and tent campers. If you prefer a more secluded experience, please book both sites. There is space for an RV in the driveway next to the woods with electric hookup and access to the outhouse, water pump, and firepit. While this is a working ranch with farm animals, our aim is to create a peaceful relaxing environment in order to unwind and enjoy the creation around us. Going in the pastures with horses while unaccompanied by the owners is prohibited; however, it can be arranged for you to meet and interact with the mustangs if interested. There are other farm animals including a sheep, a goat, pigs, donkeys, peacocks, turkeys, chickens, ducks and barn cats on the premises. If you want a quaint country escape complete with farm sounds, this is the spot for you!

Learn more about this land: This wooded area is 5 miles away from the Ohiopyle State Park whitewater launch area and GAP bike trail. We are less than 9 miles from Frank Lloyd Wright's Classic Fallingwater and about 8 miles from Kentuck Knob one of the last resident homes he designed (both are open for tours). Fort Necessity National Battlefield is 5 miles away. There are numerous native trout streams in the area. Youghiogheny Reservoir is 7 miles away for fishing, boat rentals, and water-sports. The Fern House is the primary camp cabin on the property. Although if someone would want to park a "self contained" camper or small RV on the property we would permit the unit to occupy the area in front of the driveway just pass the entrance gate. It is not within the ferns and is next to the road. There is an electrical outlet available at this small RV or van camper site. We are "nice pet" friendly. Dogs should not be left in the cabin alone. We have a mountain spring (when the spring is running) up the trail road (450 feet away). The ferns will normally be in full glory by the end of May to mid September and are amazing, covering the forest floor. Deer, bear, wild turkey, fox, chipmunks, squirrels and many woodland birds abound the property especially owls. A picnic table, fire ring and firewood is available on the property. Free WiFi on the property as long as the plant life is not too thick! There is a mile hiking loop right on the property and many challenging trails in the area, including the starting point for the Laurel Highlands Hiking Trail. No smoking is permitted in the cabin.

1 night at Lily Pad Cabin & Mojo's Loft

I don't have words big enough to describe how wonderful Mojo's Loft is. I felt the peace I was seeking as I pulled up. The area directly around the loft is beautiful and serene. Across the driveway, there's a pond with a water feature. To the one side is a man made waterfall. They are both so pretty. I walked up the few steps to the tiny fenced in yard and was again greeted with a tranquil setting. There is a concrete patio with some seating and tables, a gas grill, and a fire pit. The yard is tiny, but enough to let your fur baby get some fresh air or enjoy the sunshine. Upon entering the loft, all I felt was a warm welcome. It felt very happy and comfortable. The tiny kitchen area has everything you need for a quick meal. The dining table has enough room for a couple of guests. The queen size bed is comfortable and inviting. The living room area is perfectly furnished with a recliner and reclining couch. There's even a little desk to read through the pamphlets, menus, maps, and guest book Tamara so thoughtfully provided. The bathroom is very nice, complete with a bathtub/shower. There is internet available if you need it. There's a window air conditioner that cools the loft completely and am electric fireplace that in sure is marvelous in the cooler months. Please be sure to read the binder! Find out about their charitable donations to animal rescues and K9s! That just makes this little place so much better in my book.

We booked this cabin for one weekend….what an amazing experience! The hosts, Renee and Dale, are wonderful, warm, and incredibly welcoming. The property is beautiful. the horses, the cabin, and Fred the turkey are all charming in their own way. We had a 2 year old with us, and even she had a good time. Renee and Dale went above and beyond…they baked fresh cookies to welcome us, which was such a thoughtful touch. We’ll definitely be coming back more often. Highly recommend!

My pup and I had a great stay at this A-frame cabin! The secluded location was quiet, peaceful, and the perfect place to disconnect for a few days. The hosts were wonderful and had the canopy and Blackstone set up and ready to go, which made everything easy and enjoyable. If you're looking for a relaxing getaway, this is the spot. We'll definitely be back. Thanks for a great stay!

1 night at Sunnyday's Forest

I stayed in the hayloft one night. I slept in a sleeping bag on a sleeping pad on a yoga mat and I was very comfortable (even though I had back surgery 2 months ago). I read the bad review someone else left and all I can say is if you don't like hay or the smell of horses, it's probably not for you. It's definitely rustic but I found it comforting and pretty cool. The animals are all great and it's really quiet and peaceful up the slope behind the barn - great for birdwatching or just sitting outside. I will definitely come back next time I go through that part of PA. The host is lovely and seems to have a big heart for animals. I'm allergic to artificial fragrances people insist on using at AirBnBs, so this is a great alternative for people like me who don't mind roughing it a little bit and love being around animals.

wow, what an inspiring place to get away. the landscape is stunning, and the cabin even more so. jim’s incredible thoughtfulness and attention to detail made this spot feel like a home away from home. the area is very clean and well maintained. my husband and i were only able to stay for one night, but we will definitely be returning! next time, we’re excited to check out the surrounding attractions that the hosts mapped out in the welcome book. cant reccomend jim and tracy enough, thank you both!

1 night at A-frame rustic cabin

We last minute decided to go camping and found this cute little spot! It was a very much needed break from the stress of the "real world" and we loved everything this place had to offer. Getting to sit in a hammock and listen to the birds was awesome, the hummingbirds got close enough to hear their wings buzzing. We spent a lot of time around the fire, identifying different bird calls, and listening to the spring peepers at night. We brought a few of our own things and bedding to make the cots extra cozy, but they provide a lot for you such as different ways to light the fire, a bug zapper, and a solar powered port with USB slots! It was super cozy and great for the soul. We will absolutely be back 🤙🏻

This spot is amazing! The cabin is nested up a small hill that is by a creek, its super private and peaceful. You have the site all to yourself. Its very well equipped for a comfortable camping stay. We were on a tent camping streak and days were rainy and this gem is just what we needed to give us a break. Hosts were really welcoming, attentive and thoughtful. It was also inspiring to read about the cabin’s story and how it all came together in the manual. They were also really generous with the first free bundle of woodfire they offered, along with all the little attentions and details left for us. You can tell they are campers themselves and that they really put their heart in taking care of the place. Check in was smooth and simple, instructions were clear, communication was good. Our only regret is we couldnt stay longer. One of the best quality price deal we’ve found on hipcamp so far! Thanks so much Joe!

Jim and Tracy were very generous hosts ...they've carved out a beautiful little corner of the world and included this cozy rustic cabin with thoughtful detail. I spent three peaceful nights there alone, getting to take in the natural scenery, complete with a lovely lake very close by. During my stay (around mid-May) I could hear all the way from the cabin porch the little cascades and riffles from where the lake rushes into what looks like a small creek. You'll hear a plane overhead once in a while as well as occasional commuters along the main road mainly in the morning and evening; otherwise, it's pretty quiet for stretches at a time (even quieter on the weekend). I didn't see or hear a single person the entire time, except one vehicle that had clearly made a wrong turn and went right back out. Most sounds are just the wildlife, the wind in the trees, and the water. It was very easy to find, and check in went very smoothly. If you have to park at the entrace, it's not a far walk to the cabin ...only about 100 feet up a gentle incline. The toilet is located in a hunting blind and very clean. I have T-Mobile and got service, though I kept my phone off for most of my stay (and downloaded the area in Google Maps just in case). I'm a solo female traveler and felt very safe here. If you're thinking about getting away for a while for some peace and quiet, don't hesitate to book this site!
