Hot tub in the Forest -Your own stargazing field under the Milky Way - Firepit
✨ Blue Skies Lodge – A Private Stargazing Escape for Couples, Families & Friends
Imagine this: you step out onto your deck on a crisp, clear night, the cool air tingling on your skin. Above you, the Milky Way pours across the sky in a dazzling river of light. There’s no traffic noise, no city glare—just the whisper of the wind through the trees and the quiet crackle of the firepit. This is Blue Skies Lodge, your own 55-acre retreat where the stars feel close enough to touch.
Whether you’re planning a romantic escape with someone special, a fun-filled getaway with friends, or a memory-making adventure with family, this cabin offers the perfect mix of comfort, privacy, and wonder. With your exclusive 10-acre stargazing field, you can lay back in the grass or soak in the hot tub while constellations wheel overhead and shooting stars streak across the sky.
Inside, you’ll find a welcoming space that feels like home from the moment you walk in. The fully equipped kitchen invites shared meals—pancake breakfasts, grilled dinners, hot chocolate after a night under the stars. The cabin sleeps up to 6 comfortably, with fresh linens, fluffy towels, and thoughtful touches throughout.
By day, Potter County opens up like a storybook. Just minutes away is Cherry Springs State Park, the gold standard for dark sky viewing in the U.S.—but you won’t even need to leave the property to see the same brilliant display. Explore nearby wonders like the PA Grand Canyon, Kinzua Bridge Skywalk, the historic Austin Dam, and the majestic Pennsylvania Elk Herd. Bring your camera—these are moments worth capturing.
Gather your loved ones around the firepit for s’mores and laughter. Wander the trails hand-in-hand. Watch your children’s faces light up as they spot their first shooting star. Share a glass of wine in the hot tub while the night sky unfolds above you. These are the moments that stay with you long after the trip ends.
📅 2-night stays welcome (occasional single nights—just ask).
🌌 Stay where the stars truly shine—don’t settle for cabins far from the magic.
Blue Skies Lodge isn’t just a place to stay—it’s a place to reconnect, to slow down, and to remember how beautiful the world can be when you step away from the noise and look up.

About the host
Hosted by Chris
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.
Why they chose this property
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.
What makes this property unique
Cherry Springs State Park is a Star Gazers Paradise. '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.
