Everything was great, as always.
Dark skies, weather was crisp, house was warm… beds comfy and clean, kitchen was equipped with cookware and appliances.
Penny was a delight, she made some happy mule noises at us because we brought her apples and carrots. The only thing missing was that there was no cattle in the pasture across the road this year.
Can’t wait to return!
A most wonderful weekend with 5 of my sisters. The house and property were top notch! Our stay was very comfortable and cozy. The stars were out of this world! We’ll go back!
We had a wonderful long weekend at this comfortable farmhouse in Coudersport. Our multi generational family enjoyed having a house to cook and sleep in while we spent time at our neices wedding. and sleep in
Beautiful scenery and peaceful. The beds were comfortable. Roads are narrow, gravel and windy. Weather was beautiful but lots of bees so we couldnt sit outside.
They’re not kidding when they say the skies are dark! This reminded me of growing up on a rural farm. If you like feeling the historic weight of a home, imagining the generations who lived here and put every ounce of their being into the farm, stay here! It’s quiet, comfortable and will help you clear your mind. The house has just enough updates to make you comfortable. And the surrounding woods are phenomenal.
Everything was great. The host was very helpful and friendly .penny the mule was cute stayed up in the field most of the time. We had a great stay. Thank you. There is a mini golf and ice cream place just a few miles down the road we enjoyed that also.
I stayed here over Memorial Day weekend, the property was very clean and very rustic. The property had a mule and some cows as well, we got to feed the mule some grass and some carrots to the cows! The porch was fantastic for a few drinks and a cigar with the little creek running through the property it was SUPER relaxing! The fire pit was large and had laid brick and 2 large benches with ALL the fire wood you could need including fire starter and kindling. Fully stocked kitchen, 2 living rooms with plenty of furniture(small tv but it worked fine) the bathrooms were stocked with towels I suggest bringing hand soap and maybe an extra roll of toilet paper. Beds were clean and made well. The yard had plenty of room for kids to play. Overall 100% recommend. Good price and every question I had was answered within a few hours by the host, they were very nice and reasonable I’ll be coming back for a longer stay next year for sure!
We all enjoyed your stay. We have been going to potter county every fall during hunting season for very many years. We stayed at the Auth farm before it was a VRBO.
The house is clean and comfortable it is like a step back in time but with all the convenience of today. There in nothing better than sharing a warm fire in the pavilion with friends.
Thank you to our host Ben, and the Jacksons.
Second time staying here, was every bit as pleasant as the first time. We got to feed Penny some carrots and apples this time (we fell through last time).
Stars were fantastic, house was cozy, we planned our own events better than last time. Kitchen is well equipped, living room with the tv was warm and toasty.
We also had the opportunity to be serenaded by cattle’s having their morning run arounds first thing in the morning, which was new and very nice!
We loved the house and setting. Well stocked kitchen had everything we needed. Great outdoor fire pit and pavillion. Great place to view stars. Don't miss excellent nearby Lumber Museum.
Reminded me of my grandparents home from 30 years ago in all the good ways. If you appreciate the stillness and silence of nature at night, a night sky so clear you can pick out each major constellation and their nebula. Then this is the place for you. I’ll definitely be planning another trip here in the future ✌
The house and property was amazing! The view from the porch was stunning. We enjoyed the porch swing. The Wi-Fi worked great and the kitchen was fully stocked with pots, pans, spices, oil, etc. Penny the mule was adorable! We enjoyed feeding her carrots and watching her in the pasture. We met the owner a couple of times and he even brought wood chips and lighter fluid for us to use to start our fire. Highly recommend this place! We would definitely book again if ever returning to the area.
The Old Alth Farm was exactly what we were looking for to
unwind for a couple of days. We loved and enjoyed everything about the Farm, even the dirt roads to get there.
The house is amazing and brought back some childhood memories of days gone by. The pavillion is definitely made to relax and enjoy. We did meet Miss. Penny (the mule). She loved her carrots and apples. We also got to meet Daryl when he came to feed Penny. We enjoyed talking with him. He is the Salt of the Earth Man. Everything inside the home was organized, clean and very welcoming. We had no problems and we have no complaints.We would definitely stay here again.
Clean, spacious and tranquil farmhouse property with all the amenities that you’ll need. We checked out Kinzua, Austin Dam and Cherry Springs during our stay. There’s also a great diner close by (Fezz’s) and a golf course down the road too.
Exactly as advertised. Beautiful old farmhouse decorated from another era. Bathrooms are updated and the kitchen had all the conveniences, but otherwise it was like stepping back in time.
The property is perfect for star gazing, no need to trek to the park, just pull out one of their outside blankets and lay on the lawn!
The house was a great location. Easy access to stores and restaurants. It was enough room for 10 people. We had enough amenities- towels pillows and bedding, and kitchen utensils. The only thing we needed was a gas grill for cooking hamburgers and hotdogs but we used the charcoal grill that was available.
This was a wonderful experience. We all enjoyed our stay and the property was great. We were a group of hunting guys and everything went very well. The owner and the manager were very pleasant and helpful. Look forward to another stay in the future.
House itself is very nice. Porch and property are beautifully scenic and picturesque. Living room and kitchen are very cozy… cooked several meals and the kitchen is well-equipped.
The down stairs was warm and comfortable (visited in November and it was in the 30’s at night) but be aware the upstairs has no heat… it relies entirely on vents drafting heat from downstairs up to the bedrooms. This wasn’t a big deal as the beds are very heavily blanketed… 3 or 4 thick layers of sheets kept me very warm all night.
Access to the property is a rough dirt road, which added to the “being way out there” feel and was sort of a positive to the vibe of the trip.
All in all, very nice visit, can’t wait to go back.
Penny the mule was a delight to watch be a mule, when she wasn’t eating the grass, she was meditating on the nature of the universe staring at trees. Make sure to bring an apple or two for her, we didn’t and I regret it. Definitely will next time.
