This cabin is awesome for a couple or 3 ppl! Clean, perfectly decorated, comfortable, across from Pine Creek and down the road from the Ole Covered Wagon tour and east and west rims of the Grand Canyon of Pa. We took macadam roads and dirt roads while in our search for new places and of course “big foot!!!” Relaxing and fun. Host,Shelly very responsive and pleasant, making booking check in and out a breeze! Thanks Shelly! Looking forward to booking next year again!

Beautiful property, tidy home and great homeowners

Shelly and Lyle have quite the little get away! We made many plans for our weekend stay, but found ourselves tucked in this hidden gem for majority of our time just relaxing. Upon leaving we had locked our keys in our vehicle and Lyle was quick to respond and help us out! Thanks again!

The cabin was just lovely, had all the comforts of home. Clean, comfortable and very quiet. Perfect location to the Grand Canyon of Pa and the cute town of Wellsboro. Loved the mountain location and a nice visit to the lumberjack museum was very educational. Would definitely stay here again.
