Quaint Cabin Near 2 PA State Parks - Ricketts Glen & Worlds End

Roughing it never looked so good!
We invite you to experience the outdoors in this fully furnished cabin that offers such amenities as A whirlpool tub and air conditioning …… while capturing the classic, old style cabin look and feel with hand hewn beams, stone work, and old wood floors. The cabin is completely furnished and comfortably sleeps four with a bedroom downstairs and a loft.

Located conveniently between 2 of Pennsylvania’s most popular state parks - Ricketts Glenn and Worlds End, Black Bear Cottage is a hiker’s destination offering something for everyone.
Ricketts Glen State Park is on 13,050 acres in Columbia, Luzerne, and Sullivan counties known for its old-growth forest and 24 named waterfalls along Kitchen Creek. Worlds End State Park, located in the Loyalsock Creek valley, is a 780-acre Pennsylvania state park in Sullivan County that features exceptional hiking, swimming, and picnic areas for the family to enjoy.

Not hiking? Then have a seat on the front porch and unwind or gather around the firepit, tell some tales, and create some memories. Other area attractions include local wineries, antique shops, Knoebels Amusement Resort, and some of the best trout fishing in the state!

With many grocery and convenience stores located in the area, as well as several locations offering eat-in and take-out services, it’s not necessary to cook all meals, but if you do, the kitchen is fully stocked.

Note – The layout of this cabin is from the 1960’s and a ladder was initially installed to access the loft. When the modern bathroom was added, a stairwell was installed as a safer option to get to the loft in this cabin. Due to safety concerns, the ladder has been removed. In order to get to the loft, the stairwell in the bathroom must be used. The layout is unique but guests do not seem to mind.
We wanted to make guests aware of this layout if 4 people are staying at the cabin.

Linens are provided at an additional cost upon request.

AC is typically installed by June 1.

Firewood is not provided but is sold onsite.
Due to lantern fly infestations in other parts of PA, we prefer you do not bring firewood from outside the area.

When staying between Nov - April some snow accumulation should be anticipated in the area. A FWD, AWD, or 4WD vehicle is best for these conditions - as driveways and roadways may have some snow cover and not all cover is able to be plowed.

There is an exterior camera located on the property for security.

We encourage all of our guests to purchase travel insurance for unforeseen circumstances and cancellations. 3/15/24 - Trail Advisory: The Falls Trail system is now fully open for the season!

Fun getaway cabin
Spent a night in the cabin with my girlfriend to get away from the city for a night. Location to Rickets Glen State Park is amazing. I highly suggest doing the main waterfall trail there. Takes about 3 hours with moderate difficulty due to a lot of steps and slippery surfaces. The cabin definitely has an authentic rustic feel if that’s what you’re looking for. It’s clear they have done/are doing some construction there. The fire pit is a really nice one, but the beds could use some help. Also the whole you need to bring your own sheets/towels unless you want to pay a fee is a little weird, I haven’t seen that before. But we did and it was all good. The best feature was definitely the loft but we didn’t get to make use of it since the larger bed is downstairs. All in all a great getaway to the woods!

our anniversary trip to Ricketts Glen
For our 20th anniversary, my husband and I decided to take a weekend to go hiking and enjoy some time away from society. we both love outdoors vacations, but i don't enjoy tent camping. my husband asked me to find something close by the state park like a cabin. I looked up a few properties and Black Bear Cottage was perfect. The host had it clean and well stocked for our stay and it was only ten minutes from Ricketts Glen. Perfect for a weekend adventure of hiking and time together. We loved the fire pit in the back yard. I loved the full kitchen as well. It was perfect for our little adventure getaway.
