Copperhead Retreat

I forgot to upload my review on Airbnb and I wanted to make sure I left Cathy a review because she deserves all of her allocates. Driving out to Copperhead was a little nerve wracking. Being from Venango County, I realize not everywhere loves everyone and this location was in the back woods. Once we started seeing the fairy garden along the road, I felt a little better. Cathy gave really good directions because there was absolutely no cell phone reception out there. Once we parked, Cathy met us as we were getting out to the car. She showed us around and gave us extra blankets because it was going to be a cold night. I had previously told Cathy that I wasn't sure how to build a fire, she had the fire pit prepped for us so all we had to do was light it. The bathrooms were probably the best Airbnb bathrooms that I've ever seen. It was clean, warm and the water pressure was perfect. I love experiencing nature but having the luxury of a mattress and bed. Since we were only staying one night Cathy graciously upgraded us to the larger tent. Either size would have been perfect. The other campers were very friendly. Waking up to the Allegheny was breath taking. Cathy had breakfast and coffee for us. I lost my dog last year and Cathy has one of the sweetest fur babies. She let me pet and love on her. I was told I haven't looked that happy in a long time. I highly recommend staying at Copperhead. Thank you, Cathy, for providing a beautiful place to unwind and get in touch with nature and ground. Extremely friendly, with great conversation- Cathy you are truly the best!

THIS PLACE IS BEAUTIFUL. The moment I saw the lake, I absolutely fell in love. Gorgeous view, comfortable bed, and an amazing host. I went with my sister and mom and stayed in the big Tipi. The bathroom was SPARKLING clean! My mom was very pleased to see a clean modern bathroom. Cathy was one of the best hosts I've ever met. She is friendly, funny, and resourceful. We brought our own food and used the grill on site. A BBQ dinner overlooking the river was awesome :) We stargazed at night and went for a morning stroll along the river. This place seemed perfect for kayaking/swimming. Cathy prepared breakfast with hot coffee for us, which was awesome. We even saw a bald eagle flying by! So cool. This was our first glamping experience and we are all very impressed. Can't wait to revisit in the future!

Beautiful and quiet location along the Allegheny River. The tipi was awesome to stay in, nice and roomy. The hostess is welcoming, helpful, and goes over and beyond to make your stay perfect. Made it comforting to be able to bring our fur babies. We can't wait to go back!

Cathy and Janet were warm and helpful hosts. The place is gorgeous and the breakfasts were served in a Covid-appropriate way. They were attentive to everything -- beautiful facility and spotless. We watched the sun come up over the river and took a canoe ride where we saw eagles and blue heron. Amazing! Perfect place for an unplugged getaway.

Copperhead Retreat is a piece of heaven on earth!! The view, wildlife, flower gardens beautiful I can't find words to describe how wonderful my stay is here! The history of the land and the generations that have lovingly cared for it are a wonderful kind family that has graciously opened there home to share in the wonder of peace to be had here! This is definitely a spot on earth to spend quality time to bond with family or zen oneself! You will truly fall in love with the wonder of nature again!

My wife found this place on Airbnb and wanted to try it for something completely different. And it was. We stayed in the large Teepee for two nights and both nights it rained, but we did not get wet. beds were fantastic the linens are terrific the location is nice and secure and secluded. The scenery is terrific and Kathy, the host, was very accommodating and a terrific conversation list. We stayed with two other couples and there was plenty of room for everybody plenty of peace and quiet plenty of relaxing and plenty of space. If you just want to get away and relax highly recommended. It does have Wi-Fi and internet access, 110 electric everywhere, Continental breakfast in the mornings, and all the peace and quiet you could ever need. We did bring extra canopies for shade and changes in weather. However there is a pavilion That's perfectly acceptable.We are looking forward to going back next season.
