Stargazing

We rented this cabin because of the dark skies close to Cherry Springs. Through no fault of the owner of this property, it was cloudy every night. I think some sort of porch to sit on outside when it rains would be a great addition. Benn, the owner, was very considerate when we needed to contact him about a leak. He went so far as to give us recommendations for restaurants. He was very friendly.

A place to recharge!

A wonderful place for a getaway and to recharge your soul! This cabin has all the essentials needed for your visit except bath towels. It is secluded and private, you definitely need four wheel drive in bad weather. The lane back to the cabin is a bit muddy but hey you’re in Potter and it is Gods Country, just look around at all the beauty it has to offer. Beautiful sky’s at night and wildlife can be seen right outside the cabin. We saw Deer, Bear tracks in the driveway, wild Turkeys and birds signing every morning while drinking our hot coffee, that was made in a well furnished kitchen. We were able to slow down, rewind our minds and go back to a more simple way of living at this cabin in Potter County!

Beautiful Gem

Wow wow wow! What a wonderful experience. This little cabin is well maintained and beautiful. It feel like you are in your own little paradise. My best friend and I were very pleased with the check in and check out process. The cabin was well stocked. The water pressure wasn't spectacular, but that is to be expected in this kind of environment. Stores are about 15-20 minutes away from the cabin. My only concern was that the keypad was having an issue. Sometimes we had to put the code in 2-3 times for it to open. After the first incident, I kept my keys on me while we were outside. I would recommend that to the next visitor, or just don't fully close the door. Also, a curtain for the front door would be nice. Other than that, our BFF trip was fantastic. Thank you, Benn! We will definitely be back!

Suggestions

Overall the property was as described and the view of the sky was limited. Owner should supply emergency contact information at the cabin (the door lock is battery operated). What if they die during your stay. He should also consider placing reflectors at the end of lane for easier night locating.

Quiet and secluded, great location

The cabin is small but clean and very comfortable and the location is quiet and secluded. It is around 20 minutes to the Black Forest Trail and even closer to Cherry Springs, although you may just want to stay at the cabin for stargazing since it's almost as good. Highly recommended!

Great little cabin in the woods

This little cabin in the woods had everything we needed. It's in a remote location, but also close enough to any stores for necessities and very close to many state parks in the area. We packed mostly ready to go meals for this trip and the kitchen had everything we needed. It's a small little place, but that added to the appeal and it worked just fine for us. It was chilly during our stay and we stayed nice and warm inside. We were surprised and pleased with the WiFi, but there is definitely no cell service here. We didn't use the TV, but there is a large selection of DVDs and books to keep you occupied. We had a maintenance issue and Benn was quickly available to check it out and made it right for us. It was peak “leaf peeping” during our trip and the surrounding area and state parks were absolutely stunning! I wish I would have taken more time to enjoy the quiet in the area!

A gem in the woods

Thank you for allowing us to enjoy, what we like to call, "a GEM in the woods". We had such a relaxing weekend....disconnected from it all we enjoyed every second. We were a lil bummed as we got rained out on the first night and couldn't do the stargazing but the second night was amazing. We didnt even have to go to Cherry Spring State Park (though we did just to check it out) for the stars as we had the perfect view right from the cabin. All i can say is absolutely serene....we didnt have any complaints! Hope to be back soon!!!

Perfect little cabin in the woods!

I’ve always want to stay in a cabin in the woods during winter. I was especially please with morning snow. This little place didn’t disappoint. The photos don’t do it justice. Bed is firm. They supplied extra blankets. Overnight the outside temperature was around 8 degrees, but we were cozy inside. We were minutes from Cherry Springs and the Vista. We seen lots of deer and black squirrels. Four wheel drive is definitely needed during the winter months. We loved our weekend get away and will be back again, maybe in a different season.

Clean and cozy

My husband and I visited the area for the first time for a weekend getaway. Even though we got rained out, we made the best of it. Our cabin was cute and cozy. It was very clean. The fall foliage in the area was beautiful. This is a nice place to stay if your looking to disconnect and relax.

We absolutely loved our stay at this little mountain oasis. It was secluded and it was the perfect place to disconnect from everything. It was peaceful and the babbling brook was the icing on the cake! We'll certainly rebook in the future.

Hidden Getaway

This little cozy cabin is a great getaway. Located only 15 minutes from Cherry Springs, Lake Lyman, and Galeton, with only a 30 minute drive to Coudersport, it’s very easy to make the most of day trips and take in all the natural wonder of God’s Country. The property was exactly as described and worked well for us - my wife and I as well as our three month old. I’m sure the stars are amazing at Cherry Springs and they were pretty spectacular right at the cabin while enjoying the nice fire pit set up. We did have an early morning visit from a black bear that we had seen roaming the neighborhood - lots of other camps on Ive’s Hollow Road - but he was harmless and beautiful to watch as he picked berries from the bushes lining the far side of the driveway. As everyone else has mentioned, cell service is non-existent at the cabin which was a nice way for us to disconnect. If you’re looking for a secluded getaway, especially if you have an ATV or are into the outdoors, this place will not disappoint.
