Cabins
Two Unique Forest Escapes — One Rustic, One Roomy, Both Surrounded by Nature
Our cabins offer the best of Cook Forest living: morning coffee on a screened porch, quiet woods, wildlife wandering through, and that feeling you only get when you step away from the busy world and into the trees.
Whether you want an unplugged 1950s retreat or a spacious cabin for your whole crew, both of our properties offer a different experience — but the same forest calm.
River Otter Cottage
Rustic • Unplugged • By the River
Sleeps 4 • River Road Location • No WiFi — Digital Detox Heaven
River Otter is a 1950s rustic charmer just steps from the Clarion River. It's not fancy — and that's the point. Guests come here to disconnect, breathe, and tune into the quiet rhythm of Cook Forest.
Best for:
Couples • Small families • Writers • Nature lovers • Guests who want to unplug
River Otter Includes:
2 bedrooms (1 queen, 1 full)
Living room with stone fireplace
Firewood provided
Screened-in porch with tree-filtered river views
Apartment-size kitchen
Walking distance to river access
Indoor dining space
Updated bathroom
Plenty of natural light
Wildlife sightings (eagles often soar over the river)
Character Notes:
Rustic & original: expect charm, not perfection
No WiFi, limited cell service
Analog evenings encouraged (games provided)
Perfect place for cozy fires & slow mornings
River Otter feels like stepping back in time — in the best way.
