The Nest was as advertised: quiet, away from other cabins, a great opportunity to unplug, and had all the amenities we needed. The creak was so enjoyable to listen to. I would recommend hiking boots for hiking in Minster. The Shaw House in Sheffield is a delicious place for bar food, and reconnecting if you need to. There is a beautiful new covered area with the grill that looks close to new and a new picnic bench. It is however the flattest spot on the site. Be prepared to walk on uneven ground and up/down throughout the site, especially getting to the creek. No problem if you are in shape. I would not recommend it if you have any trouble walking. We tried fishing but no luck getting any nibbles. Loved the swing by the fire pit! The cabin is a bit tight especially if you want to eat inside. Ben and his mom were SUPER communicative. We unfortunately had trouble with the water flow stopping. We drive into town to call Ben and he gave us a few suggestions which unfortunately didn’t work for us so we cut our trip a day short. Ben is easy to work with and does right by his guests. Very trustworthy owner.

This is a really nice quiet place to relax and unplug. The owner and his family were very helpful and there’s plenty of amenities available while still feeling rather off grid. Got to fish, sit by the fire and enjoy a fresh summer meal off the grill under the pavilion. Would definitely recommend and would definitely come back!

This was our 3rd trip out to Ben's and it gets better every time. Plenty of hiking close by, a perfect river to jump in when it gets hot, and the new covered picnic table area with grill is excellent! We love this place and bet you will too.

Lovely little spot on the creek! Comfortable and quiet. Road is not busy but do hear a car drive by every once in a while. Tons of dvds and all the amenities and supplies you'll need to have a good time.

We loved this adorable cabin on the hillside especially with the riverfront and the proximity to the ANF. We made it to Jakes Rocks for cycling, Minister Creek for hiking, and also Hector Falls for a short hike. There’s no cell service, which was a great way to unwind. The little cabin has everything you need, feels very homey and locals are super friendly. Make sure to stop at the Blue Jay Inn for food.

We loved our trip! It was a perfect weekend get away for our family. We walked in the river, swam, went fishing, and just relaxed. We came with our 9 year old and 1 year old, they both had a great time!
The site has a nice covered pavilion with a gas grill, fire pit with a swing near by. The kitchen has a two burner stove, toaster over, fridge, keurig coffee maker, and sink. Hot water, AC, and dvd player and a ton of DVDs which was nice when the storm rolled in.
We definitely plan to come back for more outdoor adventures

Ben’s property was wonderful and we had a great time. Ben was a great communicator and responded to questions promptly. His cabin is very clean and cozy with lots of amenities. The creek is picturesque and there is excellent hiking all around the area. I highly recommend.

5/5 stars. If I had one word to describe it would be cozy. Ben is a great host. The cabin has nice privacy and it has everything you need utility wise. You are tucked away against a large creek if you like water activities. Nearby hiking trails. Check out the butcher shop in Sheffield if you like to grill!

The Nest - Creekside Cabin In ANF
An absolute gem of a site. The cabin itself had everything we needed. Was already warmed up for us upon arrival on a snowy evening and held heat well throughout our weekend. Ben gave us a great hiking recommendation that we took advantage of and it was just what we were looking for. Enjoyed our evenings by the campfire and morning coffee on the steps by the river. Instructions were clear and easy to follow. We are already planning our next trip out here!

The Nest - Creekside Cabin In ANF
We loved that this cabin was both small/rustic/affordable and still outfitted with all the big amenities. The heat, bathroom, TV, and cooking appliances were all fantastic, the outdoor area was spacious and the view down the creek from it lined up perfectly with the sunset! Had a great weekend exploring ANF from here, thanks!

HIGHLY recommend! Great location, not far from civilization but far enough away to get a BREAK! The Nest is a cute/comfy little cabin with everything you need! Even a crockpot which was great to have dinner cooking while we were out fishing! My favorite part of the location was there is no service or WiFi, you truly get to unplug and get away from the devices that take over our lives on a daily basis. Plenty of movies to wind down the night with. Ben and Ginny are great hosts, Ginny walked us through and told us everything we needed to know. The bedroom has air which was very helpful on the hot nights and kept the entire cabin cool. We were warned about a pesky little bird but didn’t have any issues nor did we have many concerns because we did put ourselves in the middle of the forest with the expectation we might encounter some animal friends!! We will 100% be back to the Nest! Hopefully a couple different times in the next year!

This was our second time staying at Ben's and it was perfect. The river was low so we were able to walk and cross without issue. Water was perfect temp to cool down and just relax. We found the stash of seasoned kindling this time so it was much easier to start a fire with the mountain of firewood provided. Spent our days exploring and popped in one of the many DVDs before bed. Location is great. Can't wait to go back.

Ben, and his mom Jeannie, were great hosts. The only negative is that I didnt stay longer. They really made it feel like home. Ben had a little book of the history of the property and recommendations for the area. I ventured to Kinzua Bridge State Park and Hector Falls, but nights by the fire and creekside were perfect too. Hope I can make it back next year

We enjoyed the setting - the cabin is cute, cozy, and tucked into beautiful woods with a fire pit and gorgeous creek. The host was friendly on arrival, however multiple issues made the stay disappointing and not worth the $350 we paid for two nights. The host seemed unprepared: the water tank was nearly empty and we were shown how to fill it instead of it being pre-filled. Inside, an overwhelming smell of cologne we couldn’t escape, covered every surface. Which made eating food in the cabin nauseating. There is a Keurig coffee maker, but no k-cups to be found. The small bathroom was cluttered with useless personal items, but had no soap or shampoo, and only two rolls of toilet paper; the toilet produced a faint sulfur odor. After showering one night we almost stepped on an “American Giant Millipede” in the kitchen. Large gaps under exterior doors let pests in but there is a floor mat you can jam under it. The bedroom area was messy and felt unclean. No proper covers, scattered books and pillows, and sheets with visible smudges. We were told firewood was being delivered the next day but, with no cell service, arranging delivery wasn't practical and we opted out of having our only full day interrupted by a stranger. Finally, a bird we were warned of previously covered my vehicle doors and handles with droppings and caused new scratches.
If the host was better prepared, supplies basics and TP, deep-cleans bedding, seals gaps, and addresses the bird, this could be much better.

Ben is an awesome host. His camp is absolutely breathtaking. There's no cell service at the cabin. Ben provides a handmade book with fun facts about the camp and excellent directions. If you plan on entering the water bring proper footwear.

What a fantastic stay! Cabin was adorable and had everything we needed. The river and swimming hole aren't to be missed. We could not get our dogs out she was having so much fun.
Great fishing spot and close to Blue Jay Inn which has amazing wings.
Ben was great host as well as his mom and daughter.
We would not hesitate to comeback and already looking for an excuse to do so!

This was the best weekend get away we have taken. The Nest exceeded our expectations! I largely picked this spot for it's off leash policy and it did not disappoint our dogs. They were some happy campers to say the least! We had perfect weather and didn't need to use the AC or the heat. It was great being right next to the creek, I would HIGHLY suggest some water shoes if you plan on walking around it in, the rocks are brutal. The water was too low to kayak but still enjoyable nonetheless.
There is plenty to do around, Hector Falls was a nice hike and we stopped at Alleghany Cellars Winery on the way back. We tried Blue Jay Inn, great burgers! We went to an overlook, and stopped at Cooks Forrest on our way back home. We were never bored.
There was an extensive DVD collection, and we also connected the Switch and played that. The grill and fire pit were used everyday
I would highly recommend this play to anyone who loves being in the Forest would prefers the comforts of indoor plumbing and running water! If we find ourselves back this way, I already know where we are staying. Thank you Ben and family!

The Nest - Creekside Cabin In ANF
Ben's Nest was the perfect Creek side retreat for our family of 5. It has just enough ammenities for us (outdoorsy, but not exceedingly so!) but still has a rustic feel. It's so peaceful there, we really enjoyed sitting on the swing listening to the creek. Would definitley recommend and we will be back!
