About Farnsworth Cabin

Farnsworth Cabin is tucked away in the northwest portion of Pennsylvania's Allegheny National Forest. Built in the 1930s by the Civilian Conservation Corps, the stone cabin is conveniently located 8.5 miles northwest of Sheffield. It was renovated in 2010 and now provides a variety of modern amenities, including electricity and heating, as well as telephone service, Direct TV, and internet. Visitors to the area enjoy fishing, hunting and viewing wildlife. The cabin can be accessed by vehicle, however mud during the rainy seasons can inhibit road travel. They should be aware of current weather conditions and the weather during their stay. Guests are responsible for their own travel arrangements and safety, and must bring some of their own supplies.

Get new mattresses. Otherwise, great.

Our family of four really enjoyed our time at the cabin. Having read some of the other reviews, the cabin exceeded our expectations as far as cleanliness and the provided items. The kitchen was well-appointed; there wasn't a thing we'd wished we had. There is a dehumidifier, and you should keep it running and empty it. This cabin is nearly 100 years old and nicely updated, but some previous reviewers may have had unrealistic expectations. The outdoor space was nicely managed, and we enjoyed the fire ring and the grill. I'm rating 4 stars only because the queen-sized beds were very hard- bringing a mattress topper might do the trick. In our 4 days, there were only 4 cars total at the adjacent fish hatchery and zero noise from their visitors. The Starlink internet was especially nice. Allegheny Management was great in answering questions that I had. We enjoyed the closeness of Chapman State Park, and we hiked to Hector Falls and at Minister Creek.

The cabin had many broken glass windows that were not repaired, leaving behind sharp edges and repairs with cardboard taped over them. The cabin smelled of rodent poisoning. Upon opening the closet in the kitchen, we found a bucket full of rat poison and a bunch of other cleaning supplies on a shelf that were labeled poison. We woke up with sore throats the next morning and left because of it.

We stay here every year for our annual trout camp and it’s always a great experience. The cabin is a perfect setup for our group, plenty of space, great location, and everything we need for a long weekend.

It’s consistently clean, well kept, and exactly what we expect each time we come back. This place has become a big part of our yearly tradition and it never disappoints.

Already looking forward to next year’s trip.

Farnsworth Cabin was a big disappointment for us. The location is not as isolated as we’d hoped, with the Fishing Club on the same property, and people around all the time. The biggest issue was the mouse poops-in all the kitchen drawers and cabinets! We had to sterilize /wash the dishes and utensils before we could use them. The beds were not as uncomfortable as previous reviewers said. Be sure to bring your own pillows in addition to sheets and towels! The outside seating consisted of just one old picnic table; it would be great if a few chairs were on the lovely covered porch area.

I'm a New York city girl who has sadly never been around a campfire. And because of my multiple sclerosis, walking through the woods was not an option. My husband found the perfect place for us to enjoy the silence for a couple of days. To our amazement, without a single cloud in the sky, we got to see amazing gas clouds at night. Dream on, if you think you can count how many stars you can see up there. The shooting star was the galactic cherry on top.
