So clean and comfy
Great stay. The place was very clean! Short distance to all the Elk viewing spots. No complaints from us at all. We will definitely stay again. It was nice having an affordable, clean, friendly place to stay.

The home was a cozy place the hosts were great with answering questions. the problem was the pictures made us think we were going to be in a wooded area off the roadway but in turns we were right on the main road hearing cars all night & a big truck that used their jake brake which was loud & woke my husband. I myself barely got any sleep due to the constant cars & trucks passing by, & also we didnt know there was going to be a winery connected to it & when we looked out the window from the kitchen we got a nice view of the porta potty setting right there close to the fire pit which we couldnt use for that reason as well. Did not want to be near a porta potty trying to enjoy the outdoors. So for someone who doesnt mind its a nice place to stay.

Just what we needed
The property had everything we need for our stay. There were 5 of us. If you are looking for a place to have a quiet getaway, look for elk, or go fishing then look no further! There are plenty of places to go fishing. Parker Dam is maube 15 mins away. Nice place to fish or swim. There are so many places to go look for elk. The penfield firehall has decent food for a good price. There is a gas station just up the road that sells bait for fishing. And dont forget to check out the winery loacted on site. Its actually connected to the house. I got the watermelon and mountain red! They are both excellent.

A home away from home in Elk County
We were so happy with our stay at Paul's place. It was bright, comfortable and cozy. Plenty of room for 4 adults and 2 kids. Right on the main road into the elk viewing areas, where we had the good fortune to see elk several nights. Paulhad was great to deal with...

Great place to stay
Very nice and clean house, within 10 minutes to go see the elk. Make sure you go at daylight and early evening if this is what you are going to Benezette for. The hose is so warm and welcoming and we will definitely be booking with them again. We were late getting in and they made sure the porch light was on for us. Thank you for a wonderful stay!
