The Unique Pennsylvania Cabin You’ll Remember Forever

Pennsylvania is a pretty big state, and no matter which corner of it you're exploring, the odds are you'll find a hidden gem or ten. I was surprised to find that the most unique cabin in Pennsylvania wasn't in the sprawling, forest-filled center of the state, but right over the border from my home state of New Jersey.

Hiding in the small town of Milford, with a population of just over 1,100, you'll find an 1880s Forest Cottage packed with historic charm. This century-old stone-and-wood building has been restored and transformed into a memorable Airbnb ideal for nature-lovers and animal-lovers. Not only will you be staying on a sprawling property complete with its own private pond for water recreation, but this working farm often feels more like you're staying overnight at a charming private zoo. It's the kind of Airbnb that doesn't come along too often, and for those who embrace the uniqueness and whimsy of this popular destination, it'll truly be a stay to remember.

Why This Unique Cabin in Pennsylvania Stands Out

This cabin has been hosting guests for over five years now, but its roots date back to the 1880s, and that historic vibe creeps into every inch of this sprawling property. Located on over fifty acres of farmland and forest, the exterior of the cabin still features that historic weathering, but the interior has been modernized to create a fantastic glamping experience. You're only a short distance away from downtown Milford, which is a great day trip, but this haven feels like a world apart.

Inside the Experience: Features, Atmosphere, and Highlights

There's a ton of character in the cabin, with an old brick fireplace in the kitchen, but it's a great all-season destination thanks to the air conditioning and heating. There's also fast WiFi and a television, so it'll feel like home, and it's ideal for a longer stay where you want to get some work done. The house is comfortable and rustic, but the best amenities are outside!

The cabin sleeps up to six people across three bedrooms, and each space has its own unique flair. There are two queens and one double bed, and the quirky farm-centric decor will give you a chuckle before you drift off to sleep.

Who This Experience Is Perfect For

Above all else, this vacation is one for animal-lovers. This is a working farm where the owners live on-site in the main house across the pond, and their animals largely have the run of the place. That means you'll get to see ponies, turkeys, goats, and even adorable alpacas around the fifty acres. Mention to the hosts that you'd like to feed these friendly critters, and they'll make it happen!

The house is also perfect for those who love fun on the water. The private pond on site is stunning, especially at sunset, and is surrounded by fire pits and chairs. It makes an amazing backdrop for a night of cooking hot dogs and s'mores, and it's also available for boating and fishing. This is a perfect getaway for those who want to feel like they're in the middle of nature without undertaking the full camping experience.
