The Best Hidden Gem in Luzerne County!

The property is absolutely beautiful and the hostess was amazing.....she provided everything I needed and had so much to offer for her guests! I'm so glad I found this place, and will definitely be returning (with my boyfriend!) An added bonus was being there this time of year to see and smell the magnificent cherry blossom tree in the back yard!

This is a campsite on private property. It was listed as a bed and breakfast but they do not have rooms to stay in. You have to camp in the yard, it was very deceiving when we booked it for a bed and breakfast. We wasted our money for nothing

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
My bedroom was very nice and the host was as well. However, there were people talking in the kitchen, which was right under my room, until at least 11:30 pm and a dog in the next room started barking at 7 am and was still barking continuously until after 9 with no one stopping it. Breakfast was available in the am, but you needed to make it yourself and the coffee maker was not working well. The bathroom was clean overall, but there were cleaning and maintenance equipment in view in the bathroom. I guess you get what you pay for.

The hostess Nancy and her are friendly. The place is quiet and close to Endless Mountains. We only stayed for two nights but will love to stay there again next time.
