Cassio’s Cottage - A private, cozy little place under PoCo’s dark skies
Take a break from the noise in this comfy, cozy, clean and quiet cottage! An old hunting camp turned family retreat, but great for couples or even just to get away by yourself! It’s just a minute drive down the road from Potter County Stargazing Tours, 7 to the Golf Club with Gary's Mini Golf/Zip Line and Jiffy Pup just down the road from there. Drive 10 minutes to downtown Coudy for shopping, dinner, a movie, or swimming at the town pool. It’s about 15 minutes to Patterson and Cherry Springs State Parks, 30 to both Sizerville and Lyman Run State Parks, an hour to both PA Grand Canyon and Kinzua Bridge or stay close and ride the ATV/snowmobile trail that's at the end of the driveway (see last two photos). It's a great area to cross country ski in winter as well. When you get back from whatever daytime adventure you choose, you’ll be ready to get toasty around the fire pit, sitting in the Adirondack chairs or lay back in one of the “antigravity” recliners and just look up and marvel at the dark sky! The space is not too big, not too small…perfect for feeling “together” on your getaway, but still have some space to yourself. Nobody’s getting lost inside, but there are woods behind and near the cottage and it’s on 6 acres of land to explore, if you’d like. There are lots of games to play indoors as well as puzzles and books, a Roku TV with free movies and apps to sign in on. Outside you can play volleyball, badminton, tetherball, croquet or wiffleball. There's a fully stocked kitchen with anything you need to cook and prep food. The fridge will be clean and (mostly) empty for you to stock with whatever groceries you want to bring. There is a security camera in the mudroom directed at the screen door and driveway to notify us if people trespass when the cottage is not booked and to let us know when our guests arrive. ATTENTION ONE NIGHT REQUESTS: If interested in booking just one night, check availability using a two night search and please send a message…depending on what night it is, we may be able to accommodate you!

Thanks so much for the review, James! You took great care of the cottage and we welcome you all back anytime!
Very clean, quiet, comfortable with many thoughtful touches. nicely equipped and great for stargazing! (Def check out pcstargazing tours which is just up the road)
My boyfriend and I stayed here for a short weekend get away and it was perfect! We loved the secluded feel! Unfortunately I picked a terrible weekend for star gazing however we still had an amazing time!
Great little cottage, set up with everything you need inside and out, in a quiet location under the dark skies. Angela is an excellent host with clear and friendly communication.

Thanks, Alice! It was really great getting to meet you all and I’m happy you’re coming back next year!
This cottage is so comfy and cozy. Makes you feel right at home! We loved everything and hope to be back in the summer! Hosts are so inviting and easy going as well!
Our stay at Cassio Cottage was lovely. Thecottage and property were very clean and well maintained. The cottage had so many nice details and activities that made it a perfect getaway for our family. We especially loved the outdoor games, fire pit and wide selection of board games. The view of the stars at night was amazing, too. It was a great got away to spend time together as a family. Thanks for a great stay!
Great secluded place to stay and relax. Check-in process was simple and the place is stocked with everything you would need. The huge yard is a great bonus and you can literally choose to just sit there and have coffee, breakfast, or play some sports. Good experience!!
Small, but cozy, comfortable and clean accommodations. Nice outdoor space and many activities provided by great host. We felt very welcome.

Thanks so much, Alice! You communicate so well and you all kept things so clean, I appreciate it. Thank you for the note, the housekeeping tip AND for booking Memorial weekend next year! I’m happy to host your group again.
Cassio’s Cottage had all the things you’d expect from a lil’ VRBO spot in the woods. On top of the necessities it has a seemingly endless supply of fun games and activities to explore. From archery and swings to a LOVELY hammock and a surplus of board games, you could spend YEARS here before running out of things to do. Not even mentioning the stars.
I stayed here for some star gazing under the dark skies. I enjoyed it so much, I brought the entire family back.
The host is very friendly and answers any questions quickly. The place is cozy and feels like home - there were five of us and it was just the right size.
We really enjoyed our stay and would recommend Cassio’s Cottage to our friends.

Hey Joe! Thank you so much for the great review and the note you left at the cottage. Much appreciated. I’m so glad you all enjoyed the place and you’re welcome back anytime!
The cottage is very cozy, and comfortable. We went in the end of December so it was cold but the host provided heaters to keep us warm. Lovely space with big open kitchen and eating area! The Host is very friendly and helpful! We had a great stay and hope to go back in warmer weather.
The cottage is lovely. It does not aim for glamor. It is simple in the best sense of the word, inviting and comfortable, with lots of fine additions for entertainment inside and out. Easy communication with the owner. I hope to be back.

About the host
Hosted by Angela
I’m originally from “the home of Little League,” Williamsport, Pennsylvania. My family moved to Coudersport in 2006. We love the peacefulness of the area, the lack of traffic, the kindness of the people in town and being part of a small community that comes together to help each other. There’s plenty to do outdoors and it’s beautiful here. Cassio’s Cottage is a simple place in the perfect spot for people who want to get away from their busy lives and just relax and enjoy the area for a few days.
Why they chose this property
The cottage isn’t really in a “neighborhood” as much as it’s on a country road that has just a few houses here and there and dirt roads nearby to take walks down. It’s in a beautiful area to watch a sunset and it’s easy to find and get to just using google maps. You really feel like you’re “away from it all” for a little while, yet not too far from town.
What makes this property unique
This place is a little bit of a throwback in that when we renovated, we saved the old metal cabinets, the cast iron enameled sink top, bathtub and bathroom sink and in the mudroom, we’ve kept a lot of the previous owner’s hunting and fishing camp decor, because it’s part of the history of the place. Depending on when you grew up, it may give you a little nostalgia for a simpler time. Although we’ve retained some of its vintage charm, we’ve also added modern features like WiFi, a Roku tv, nest thermostat, on-demand tankless hot water heater, fans with remote controls, a portable Bluetooth speaker, etc. We don’t put the tv up in the living room, but it’s lightweight and can easily be put on the shelf above where it sits, if you want to watch something. For those who just want to spend time with loved ones and not look at a screen at all, there are lots of games to play outside together, and if you end up with rain or bad weather, there are plenty of activities for indoors, too!
