Perfect Weekend Getaway!
Our family had a wonderful stay from the moment we stepped inside this lovely cottage. The interior was very clean and decorated nicely. We made full use of the kitchen for meals and enjoyed the tranquil outdoor setting with long, cozy evenings by the fire. The Pie Shoppe and The Country Cupboard are definitely worth a visit. We will definitely return to this perfect gem!

Relaxing by the stream
This is the second time we have stayed at this property. A great time was had by all. The house is very well equipped. The owners have done a very good job of making it comfortable inside and outside. We had a fun time playing in the stream and hanging out by the fire pit. Very convenient to Idelwild Park. Definitely recommend Idelwild for children. A very nice family amusement park. Pie Shoppe is very yummy!

Enjoyed this adorable cabin in the woods. The house was very clean and the grounds with the creek and mini waterfall exposed a very relaxing environment . Unfortunately it was too hot and humid to sit outside but we still enjoyed the view from the inside.

Best vacation rental ever
Fox Haven was the absolute perfect place for our stay! We were in the area for a reunion of old friends/coworkers at Linn Run State Park. The house was very clean and had everything we needed. It was neat to see the photos from before and during the renovation. The outside fire pit and creek area were enjoyed by all. We would definitely stay here again and will recommend it to others!

We had a wonderful time at the cottage. It was immaculate and the outdoor surroundings were lovely. We totally enjoyed reading your book about the hard work with pictures to make the cottage as lovely as it is now. You put so much work and thought into the renovations. We definitely will be back again. Thank you.

Quaint and Peaceful
This lovely spot is the definition of quaint and cozy. The house is secluded, well-appointed, and next to an actual babbling brook! We thoroughly enjoyed the well-designed fire pit, and the floor plan is thoughtfully configured for gathering. The beds and furniture were very comfortable, and I appreciated the efforts to preserve the historical integrity of the house while still inlcuding modern comforts. One note: the house was rife with those plug in air freshners, and the linens were washed in a scented detergent. Several members of our party are sensitive to synthetic fragrances, which was the only real downside to our otherwise wonderful stay! This is certanily not a reason to avoid Fox Haven, but just a note for the owners that the fragrances were a bit overpowering.

This cottage is wonderful!
We really loved everything about our weekend stay at Fox Haven Cottage. We are four friends who like to plan "Girls Weekends" away, especially this time of year. (We are mom friends and our kids are also friends). The cottage is adorable and we loved all the decor and the special touches inside and out. What a beautiful setting along the stream and in the woods. The cottage is comfortable and spacious with enough room for each of us to have our own bedroom. And then 2 bathrooms (in addition to the cute little powder room) worked out perfectly. Even sleeping in the "kids room" on a twin bed was cozy and comfortable. We enjoyed a campfire, relaxing with our morning coffee, hiking in Linn Run State Park around Adams Falls, shopping in Ligonier, cooking in, movie night, and The Pie Shoppe. Thank you, we had so much fun this weekend.

Wonderful cottage in a lovely creek-side space
This is one of our favorite destinations in the region. It is an older home that has been completely renovated and updated to make for a unique but very comfortable space. The kitchen has everything you would ever need to do some cooking. There are several different sitting spaces to spread out into. The creek-side windows give the space a very open feel with a wonderful view into nature. It all makes for a great place to spend some quiet time away from home.
