Huge, lovely house -- perfect for our family!

We had a mini-family reunion--11 of us and needed a place within ~4 hours from Pittsburgh and ~ 4 hours from Kingston NY as we only had 3 nites to get together.. House was super clean, incredibly well-equipped throughout (kitchen, laundry, games, kids toys and books, BBQ grill, lush towels, etc), new appliances throughout (way nicer than the ones I have at home....truly). Floor plan of upper floor was PERFECT for us as the 3 youngest in the family are 10 months, 12 months and 2.5 years---huge open space gave these little ones tons of space to crawl and play. The 12-month old could push his wagon (walking) by himself 20 feet from living room over to kitchen--he was so happy! We enjoyed several outings (a 30-min drive to short 1-mile round trip hike to scenic overlook (doable even with the little ones) then a half-day trip into Wellsboro). The property is super quiet, very cool at night (August) (no AC needed), and a beautiful, calming view. Huge wrap-around deck--perfect for the 2.5 year old to run run run! Clearly the owners put a lot of thought and care into outfitting this property. We all made some great lasting memories from our time together here. I hope other families get to enjoy it as much as we did.

Exceptional Country Vacation

Property was just as expected. Well stocked kitchen and linens. It was a great place to get off the grid. Shopping and conveniences are about 20-30 minutes away. Mountain views and night time stargazing were without compare. The Germania Hotel, and the little country store were a blast from the past with delicious burgers and cheese steaks. The only drawback was a very rutty, rocky drive to the property, but that was disclosed and expected. We will definitely be back.

Beautiful House with a Bug Problem

I messaged the property manager a week ago with no response, so it doesn't look like any action is to going to be taken to fix the issues we brought up. Because of that, I wanted to give other guests a heads up. This house was beautiful and had an amazing view as the leaves changed color, but it has a serious bug problem. Our adult group of 5 had to have killed over 100 flies in our week there. We weren't leaving doors open and could find no reason for how they were getting in. The basement had a significant spider problem as well. We found spiders in the first two beds that we chose. We must've found more than 2 dozen spiders in total. There were spiders and cobwebs in every corner of the basement. This was a beautiful house, but it was hard to relax with all of the bug problems. If those were taken care of, I wouldn't hesitate to recommend it.

Great views

Nice house for our stay. It was exactly what we needed for our family of 5. There was somethings I would change but definitely not a deal breaker on whether i would go back or not. It was a fantastic house and worked for what we needed

An amazing house!

Kettle Creek Hills Lodge is an amazing house for a large family or several families! 4 families shared this house while we were in the area for the Pa Little League State softball tournament. This house is located in a beautiful location and is outfitted amazingly. It was the perfect home base for us for a week, felt like a home away from home. Such a well set up house from the floor plan, bedrooms, and amenities included. The property management company was wonderful to deal with as well! Quick response to emailed questions and were willing to help us out with our flexible schedule needs! Would absolutely stay here again and recommend to others!

Great getaway

Property was just as described. We were a group of motorcyclists that found the property perfect for our needs. Would highly recommend the roads throughout the area for other bikers. Roads were twisty with elevation changes and hardly any traffic.

Memorable weekend

This pristine house is the perfect remote place to enjoy a view that goes forever as you rest and relax or travel a short distance to ride bike or hike in several State Parks. We explored 3 PA State Parks in 3 days.
