Learn more about this land: This wooded area is 5 miles away from the Ohiopyle State Park whitewater launch area and GAP bike trail. We are less than 9 miles from Frank Lloyd Wright's Classic Fallingwater and about 8 miles from Kentuck Knob one of the last resident homes he designed (both are open for tours). Fort Necessity National Battlefield is 5 miles away. There are numerous native trout streams in the area. Youghiogheny Reservoir is 7 miles away for fishing, boat rentals, and water-sports. The Fern House is the primary camp cabin on the property in 2024. Although if someone would want to park a "self contained" camper or small RV on the property we would permit the unit to occupy the area in front of the driveway just pass the entrance gate. It is not within the ferns and is next to the road. There is an electrical outlet available at this small RV or van camper site. We are "nice pet" friendly. We have a mountain spring (when the spring is running) up the trail road (450 feet away). The ferns will normally be in full glory by the end of May to the beginning of October and are amazing, covering the forest floor. Deer, bear, wild turkey, fox, chipmunks, squirrels and many woodland birds abound the property especially owls. A picnic table, fire ring and firewood is available on the property. Free WiFi on the property as long as the plant life is not too thick! There is a mile hiking loop right on the property and many challenging trails in the area, including the starting point for the Laurel Highlands Hiking Trail.

The Fern House

Virgil’s place was fantastic! The location was perfect, and the space was spotlessly clean. The lofted bedroom was a standout feature, making the stay even more special. I’ll definitely be coming back!

The Fern House

camping with comfort

Beautiful area, with a cabin that has been thoughtfully furnished, decorated and filled with every amenity a visitor might need. Delightful hosts, though I didn't get to meet them but just corresponded frequently.

Place to Park @ Ferns in the Forest

Nice little spot

Loved that Virgil had a QR code for WiFi! Had a nice campfire and dinner, no issues there. I will say that the site is right beside a road and there were some late night (2-3 AM) drivers, so be aware of that if you're a light sleeper. Otherwise excellent place to spend the night!

The Fern House

Exceeded our expectations!! So peaceful and the land is lush and it has everything you could need! Getting down from the loft was a little intimidating at times but overall we highly recommend this place!

The Fern House

perfect serene place w no worries

Loved this cabin . We brought more thing that we thought we needed but when you arrive there. There is everything there. Like that toothbrush that you mist or even more. It was in a quiet setting that is perfect to get away from the every day life. Even fire wood was there for us and even ready to use grilled.
