2 nights at Ferns in the Forest

Me and my partner chose to rent this cabin for thanksgiving. It was absolutely fabulous, the cabin is so cozy, the composting toilet did not bring any smell, the shower was great, the bed was very comfortable and the view from the bed was the best part of the trip. I cannot wait to rent this again. Virgil and his wife were also very welcoming. I highly recommend renting this property.

Virgil & Pam really go above and beyond at The Fern House! The cabin was comfy and stocked with everything one could need for an extended weekend away. Our hosts were generous and gracious. They provide great communication and hospitality. We spent 3 nights and wish it could've been longer! Our pups loved the mile walk around the property each morning plus great hiking spots nearby. We took advantage of the fireplace, local eatery suggestions, and the loft was the perfect hideaway for resting and waking to beautiful wooded views. We cant wait to come back!

We absolutely loved staying in the Fernhouse!! It was perfect. It was adorable and so cozy. It was very clean and had everything we needed. The location was wonderful! So close to hiking trails and lots of outdoor recreation. The hike around the property was beautiful and our dogs loved walking it with us in the morning. The outdoor area is super cozy too. Virgil was so kind and welcoming. We will be back again in another season!! I would highly recommend.

Weekend Trip to Possum Tail Farm

The camp site was beautiful and spacious for four people. The compost toilet was in good condition although the temps were too cold for the showers. Jennifer had plenty of wood for purchase and we had a great time with the farm dog, although he can be nosey at night and is a good reminder to pack up all food and food items well and securely when camping. We would definitely return!

This was my 3d stay at the Fern house. Virgil goes above and beyond, the little house is very comfy and well appointed, and it’s so great to have a mile long trail right at your doorstep for early morning and evening walks! Virgil even left biscuits for my dog ❤️ I think of this place as a home away from home.

It was great to camp at possum tail. Rain moved in while I was there, but I had a great view of storms coming across the mountains in the distance. Bishop the big friendly farm dog dog stopped by a couple of times. He was well trained and a good watch dog at night, which was a bonus in this remote area.

This was our second stay at this campsite. Both times we've had a blast. The camp hosts are very friendly and accomodating, including Bishop the farm dog. This time we brought two kids who had two kids who had never been camping before, and it was the perfect place to introduce them to it.

1 night at Apple Blossom Camp

I loved this site for camping! The tent platform area is leveled under a little bit of shade, with a beautiful field and woods surrounding. Specifically, the aim of this camping trip was to view a double meteor shower event. The expansive lawn space and the part of the site with clear cut phone lines through the trees made for great viewing! There were plenty of wild flowers, mushrooms, and lots of fog at that elevation. It has rained earlier in the first day and the ground was delightfully dewy. Glad I brought my sandals! Everything was tidy - picnic table, fire ring, porta pot - and it was clearly marked where to park. There was a space of picnic tables up the hill as well, which offered another neat space to spend time. Absolutely would be back again!

Great cabin close to Frank Lloyd Wright homes and Ohiopyle State Park! Wonderful deck. You could just make this your whole trip. Virgil is very responsive and he and Pam are great people I had the pleasure of meeting. Would def return. You'll need to climb a ladder to access the lofted bedroom. Watch those angled beams!
