Located only one mile from the town of Benezette, Buck Haven Lodge is a cabin that offers close proximity to Elk Country’s best attractions, but also boasts 6 private acres of wooded land for tenants to enjoy. Elk routinely move through the old-growth hemlock and pine, with masses of native ferns coloring the forest floor.

The newly renovated Buck Haven Lodge has two bedrooms, a full bath, a fully-stocked kitchen, and a cozy living room complete with a propane fire place. Whether you are interested in elk viewing, fishing, hunting, hiking or just experiencing the beauty of the Pennsylvania mountains, Buck Haven Lodge offers both convenience of location and enough privacy to enjoy your getaway.

The living area boasts a spacious, open floor plan. The kitchen has large appliances including a full-sized refrigerator, propane stove and oven, and microwave. Small appliances such as a coffee pot and toaster are available, as well as a generous number of other items to ensure you have everything you need to prepare and enjoy a meal, such as pots, pans, bakeware, serving utensils, plates, cups, eating utensils, etc. The living room has enough seating for everyone with a couch (which is a sleeper sofa that can accommodate extra guests), loveseat and a recliner. For those chilly nights in the mountains, guests can enjoy the propane fireplace. There is a flat-screen television with Dish Network and WiFi, as well.

There is a spacious, full bathroom with a commode, sink, and bathtub/shower combination. There are two bedrooms, each bedroom has a window looking out at the woods behind the cabin, a queen-sized bed and generous closet.

For those looking to relax by a campfire and enjoy the mountain air, there is a custom-made fire ring with swinging grates for cooking over the fire. There are also two Adirondack chairs at the front side of the cabin for guests to relax in while enjoying mountain views.

    Inside was clean warm and comfortable. Outside needs a little cleaning up around the property. The most disappointment was not having any linen for beds. It would be nice if this was spelled out in the brochure or description of the property. The entrance was unsafe because the snow wasn’t removed before we arrived and eventually turned to ice.

    The cabin was very clean, roomy and had all the things we needed. The location is Amazing because you feel like you're out in the woods, but you are still so close to all the Elk spots and downtown Benezette. We will definitely be booking this cabin again.We got to see 3 Bulls, 30 cows, 1 buck, 40 doe and a Bobcat sitting at the edge of a creek/river.

    This location is very easy to access everything in Benezette. We stayed here several years ago. It has everything you need. We did bring our own bed sheets and pillows and did not opt for linen addon; however I don't recall the location not having a blanket in each bedroom that last time we stayed. I thought 'linens' meant bed sheets. But apparently that includes pillows and blankets, too. We did have throw blankets with us but needed to go to store in town to purchase a blanket as it was in the low 50s at night and the electric heat was not on. So be aware. Perhaps this could be stated clearer in the description, linens bed sheets, pillows, and blankets. We were left in the 'cold' on that one. :) Other than that, a pleasant stay and great location. Not as many elk this time as in previous stay. But that is part of expectation...

    Elk Haven Lodge was a very nice place to stay. It was definitely a very good location. The cottage was comfortable and decently clean, the carpets need cleaning. The hosts were very easy to communicate with and provided a lot of information related to the property and the surrounding area.

    Cabin was close to what we needed and had most necessities. One dish cloth and towel wasn’t enough for 3 people for a long wknd. The no towels and sheets really got us: we did pack towels at the last minute but couldn’t reach the owners for sheets once we got there. To their defense, they did include this topic in their email when we rented but after 6-8 weeks we had completely forgotten. A reminder would have been helpful. Our biggest concern was if there had been an emergency, we couldn’t have reached the owners. I messaged via the app and left a vmail but got no reply until we had returned home.

    It would be easier to get in the cabin if you had a push button code on the door instead of using a key inside a look box. We have a cabin and the door key makes it must easier. Bedroom lamps need bulbs. Great location to Benezette to go to the visitors center!. Cabin was very nice

    I guess the property was as advertised but they didn’t mention all the wood and equipment lying close to the house, before getting to the old growth I was so excited about. I had messaged the owners about our arrival and never heard from them. We could not light the fireplace. It wasn’t a bad stay just not what we’d expected. The location was great, the house itself was comfortable if a wee bit chilly.

    The house was clean and well kept. The kitchen was well stocked, and had a variety of odds and ends. The gas fireplace created a warm, cozy environment, and kept up comfortable all night. It took us a bit to figure out that the unit would kick off occasionally, but would eventually come back on. My only recommendation would be to let renters know in the listing that bedding is an extra expense. This is not disclosed until after booking. Thanks for everything!

    Just opening the door a very strong odor of musty, mildew or possible dog urine which was covered up by a strong scent of some type of air freshener or catpet treatment. The beds were comfortably but lots of squeeks. AND no bed linens or towels supplies. I obvious missed that In the instruction. The coffee cups were dirty. Outside area was junky looking.

    Booked this cabin for a quick family getaway to Elk County. Owners were very responsive and provided all necessary information prior to our arrival. When we arrived everything was very clean as described. The only thing that put a damper on the beautiful view of the property were pallets of building material in the backyard. The water in the house also had a strong Sulphur smell but I attributed that to staying in the mountains. Overall we had a lovely time and were able to see lots of Elk!
