Cozy Mountaintop Retreat

Stay in a cozy log cabin located on Shaffer Mountain, a perfect retreat from a busy life. In Bedford County this is located on a flyway for migrating birds. The Allegheny Plateau Audubon Society (APAS) has a Hawkwatch site nearby that is open to visitors during migration

The cabin has an open plan downstairs with a great room, kitchen and view of Bedford County plus a quiet bedroom with a full bed; a small loft has twin beds.

The kitchen includes a stove, microwave plus dishes and cookware.
There is a small sofa and fireplace in main room as well as a bathroom with shower on the main floor. Internet with Netflix and Youtube TV is available. (streaming can be touchy with the remote location)

This location is close to the town of Bedford, local antique shops, the Allegheny Front Hawkwatch as noted and miles of hiking trails. There is also a fire pit at the cabin for relaxing in the evening

Gathered to watch the harvest moon and partial eclipse, but were fogged in. We still enjoyed the experience, the cabin is small, well equipped, cozy. Nice outdoor spaces.

Much too much.
This place is fantastic. The location and view can't be beat. The solitude and peacefulness are more than one could hope for. Out golden retriever, Jake, loved the woods and the freedom as he and Kath hiked the trails. Would love to see this again with the fall foliage.

Solitude with a View
We've never been to a place so secluded and peaceful. To boot the view was beautiful. We were concerned about no A/C but realized being so high on the mountain afforded continuous cool breezes keeping us comfortable. Wishing the master bed was larger as it kept for tight sleeping quarters for us. Overall...so pleased. Already booked for next year!!!

Peaceful Getaway with Million Dollar view!
Wow! We were in the area for a family reunion and are so happy that we booked with Kim! The cottage is nicely laid out and has everything you need. Loved the morning sunshine and spectacular view. Enjoyed the deck, fire pit, the birds and the fresh mountain air. Had a couple days in low 80’s but the breeze flows through the cabin and kept it cool. Would definitely return and next time add a couple more days to just kick back and enjoy the lovely space
