🐻🍂 Well, folks… Timber has some exciting news!🍂🎃

Two cancellations just opened up October 21st–31st at Elk Grove Cottage! That means TWO prime October weekends are now available — and if you know anything about October in Benezette, you know how unheard of that is!

The leaves are changing, the Pennsylvania Wilds are roaring with color, and it’s one of the most beautiful times of the year to visit. 🍁 Whether you’re hoping to catch a glimpse of the elk, take in the fall scenery, or simply enjoy a cozy getaway in the mountains, now’s your chance!

These dates won’t stay open for long! 🧡

A few beautiful visitors spotted at the Elk Country Visitor Center 🦌🍂

We love when our guests share their elk sightings with us — there’s just something about seeing these incredible animals up close that never gets old.

And if you’ve been thinking about an October getaway… we still have a few weeknight openings available. 🤎

Wake up where the elk roam. 🦌

🐻 Meet Timber!

After lots of fun suggestions and voting, our favorite bear finally has a name...

✨Timber✨

You'll be seeing Timber pop up throughout the year with cottage updates, availability, local wildlife sightings, seasonal tips, and maybe a few friendly reminders along the way.

He may be a bear, but he's one of the friendliest faces in the Pennsylvania Wilds!

Thank you to everyone who helped us choose his name! We can't wait for Timber to welcome you to Elk Grove Cottage.

👇 Give Timber a warm welcome in the comments!
