"They All Laughed When I Said I was Driving to God's Country..."
...Until I Showed Them BLUE SKIES LODGE!
Nestled on a hilltop, amidst 50 acres of forests and meadows, is a secluded retreat known as BLUE SKIES LODGE. Far away from the noise of traffic, the glare of street lights and the madness of shopping malls, is a quiet place where you can REST, RELAX and RECHARGE.
At the end of a driveway that never seems to end, is this serene, restful place - a place where you can make time almost stand still.
As the premiere Getaway Cabin providers in the PA Wilds, we invite you to BLUE SKIES LODGE.
Leave your job and chores behind; forget about that annoying boss or employee; escape from the endless stop-and-go traffic of life. Take a detour to our cabin for a few days.
Bring a comfortable pair of walking shoes, go hiking, biking, or lounge on the deck and read a good book. Or if you were Born to be wild bring the dirt bikes or ATVs, snowmobiles or skis.
We provide "Flex Scheduling" to accommodate your busy lifestyle, so you're not locked into weekends or full weeks. Come when you wish and stay as long as you like.
Our "Easy-Pack" Vacation Plan means we provide little luxuries and necessities for your comfort and enjoyment, so you spend less time packing and shopping - more time relaxing!
As local owners, we are always here to make sure the cabin is clean and comfortable, and to help with any special needs that may arise.
~*~ THE LODGE ~*~
Our completely-renovated first floor features a fully-equipped kitchen, six-seat dining area and cozy den. The elegant red-and-gold-themed bedroom boasts a sumptuous queen-sized bed. The spacious bathroom includes a convenient laundry center, towels, soap and personal toiletries.
Climb the wide staircase to the Lodge-style Gathering Room, with front and rear access to the wrap-around deck. Have a seat at the built-in bar for a drink and a chat, play a rousing game of foosball or a quiet board game, or wander out onto the deck to enjoy our magnificent Northern Pennsylvania scenery.
Down the hallway is a rustic bedroom with an Amish-made, Queen-sized log bed and views of the woods and picnic area. Across the hall is the bear-themed childrens' room, with log bunk beds, games and toys.
When night falls, you can enjoy a soak in the "Gone Fishing" bathroom, complete with towels and soap - even new spare toothbrushes and toothpaste, should you forget yours.
There are plenty of DVDs and video tapes to watch.
* * * FOR YOU STARGAZERS * * *
Located on the same parallel (41 degrees N) as Cherry Springs State Park, a Dark Sky Preserve, BLUE SKIES LODGE has a 10-acre open field with magnificent viewing capabilities. Bring your telescope - or just your eyes and a blanket. You will be amazed at the number of stars you can see here!
PLEASE NOTE: Since we are at the top of a long lane, a 4-wheel drive vehicle is necessary during winter weather.

Why the Owner Chose Coudersport
Potter County, with its rolling hills and star-filled skies, is one of the most beautiful areas of Pennsylvania. We came here on vacation many years ago, and fell in love. Now we want to share it with you.
The Unique Benefits at this Lodge/Cabin
"On top of the world", is the feeling you get at this mountain-top retreat, where stars are your nightlights, birdsong is your alarm clock, and crickets chirp you to sleep. The remoteness of the location will enable you to consider the magnificence of the heavens, view wildlife in their natural habitat, and allow you to truly relax.
Owner's Map of Coudersport
Potter County and the PA Wilds are the most sparsely populated areas in the entire state of Pennsylvania, offering breathing room and a chance to slow down and escape from your routine.
