My friend and I came to the area to hike the waterfall loop at Ricketts Glen. We stayed one night in the Bluebird room and it was just what we needed. Spotlessly clean, very comfortable, spacious bathroom, and a lovely, welcoming hostess. There was a double bed in the main bedroom and a daybed in a small sitting room which was perfect for us. Both spaces and the bathroom had plenty of room and were very charming. There were outside spaces to make a campfire and roast s'mores if you wanted. Breakfast was served in the morning and was delicious. We loved our short visit and would most definitely stay here again!

Relaxing home in the country

My husband and I really enjoyed our stay in this cute country home. Our room was comfortable, breakfast was delicious and Claytona and Dave were friendly and welcoming host. We love being outdoors so sitting on the porch and patio was a great way to relax after hiking in Rickets Glen State Park.

Idyllic Cabin in the Woods

Claytonna has provided an amazing stay located conveniently from Rickett's Glen State Park! The house was beautiful, and our room was clean and comfortable. Her hospitality was the cherry on top, and we enjoyed the freshly cooked breakfasts each day. I would definitely recommend this spot for anyone looking for a getaway :)

What a delight!

I'm so glad that my friends and I decided to not camp. I found this listing and it was more then I expected. The room was spacious and comfortable. The bathroom had a great look to it with the shower being the best part. As a tall person, I appreciated the taller than normal shower. Breakfast in the morning was delicious and we got to meet the other guests. We were all there to hike the falls at Rickett's Glen park. It was fun to see familiar faces on our hike! Claytonna and her husband were gracious hosts! I would definitely stay there again!

Epic Hiking Weekend

My friend and I stayed in the Bluebird room. It was the first time I had stayed in a B&B. We were promptly greeted by Claytonna and she welcomed us in and showed us around. We met the other guests later in the evening and Dave prepared a fire for us all outside. Everyone was kind and fun! Our room was very comfortable and had everything we needed- linens, towels, basic soaps. The mini fridge in our room was perfect. We were able to use the common space for relaxing, using the microwave, coffee/tea bar. The breakfast that was made for us both mornings was delicious. We then went off and hiked the day away. The wifi at Cottage in the Woods was great. We downloaded our trails there, as there was no service once we headed out for hiking. We did many of the Ricketts Glen trails throughout the weekend. The falls trail is a must! I would highly commend! We had an excellent weekend! Thank you!

We passed through this area approximately 15 years ago and always planned to return to hike at Rickett's Glen State Park. The Cottage B&B was perfect for our stay! Clean & cozy rooms, delicious food and great hosts!

A Wonderful Gem in the Woods

Claytonna and Dave were wonderful hosts. The cottage is absolutely lovely in gorgeous and peaceful surroundings. We enjoyed sitting on the porch in the early morning smelling, hearing and seeing the woods at daybreak! Our room was very spacious, clean and tastefully decorated. We had a great nights sleep! The breakfast was wonderful and lovingly prepared. Claytonna even went out of her way to provide extra provisions as she had picked up I might like those! In short: a great find, we will definitely return!

Great Stay at the Cottage in the Woods

We had a lovely stay in the Hummingbird suite. The property was beautiful and well cared for. We had a delicious breakfast each morning and the hosts were very welcoming and accommodating. The location was convenient for hiking and close to several restaurants. We will definitely visit again on our next trip to the area.

Cottage in the Woods B & B is a gem!

My husband and I spent our 40th wedding anniversary at the Cottage in the Woods. We travel often and mainly use VRBO if we are not staying in a hotel. We typically do not stay at B&B properties but I am so glad that we chose this one! The hosts are wonderful! They make you feel so welcome and comfortable (like visiting old friends). They are kind and helpful and provided us with information about the area and also recommendations for local restaurants. The property is beautiful, comfortable and well maintained. We were served a beautiful and delicious breakfast every morning. The location to Ricketts Glen is perfect. Just a short ride to the State Park entrance and several trail heads for the falls hike. There is a lovely outdoor space for relaxing after your hike. I would highly recommend this B & B to anyone who is looking to visit the area.
