So sorry about the well not working properly during your stay. I responded quickly by immediately calling a well repair specialist and thought that everything was fixed within that hour. I am going to have him come back to find out why the water shut off again. Please accept my apologies.
Beth was an awesome host! The camp is absolutely beautiful and such a calming relaxing area. Tionesta holds a special place in my life growing up here. We will be back!

Thank you for the kind words! I would love to have you two back again!
We found the Trout View Cottage so very charming. The cottage was crisp, clean and tastefully decorated. It accommodated 7 people without feeling at all crowded and kids were well entertained. Although settled in a cabin community, we were pleasantly surprised at how quiet and peaceful it was around a lovely campfire. We loved our stay and highly recommend it!

I’m so happy that your group enjoyed their stay! Yes, we have the best camp neighborhood around. I’m glad that you enjoyed the backyard and creek! Hope to have you stay again.
Trout View Cottage is a perfect getaway for anyone! Beautifully located, steps away from the creek which was so much fun to explore. Many different trails to hike in the area, also kayaking available right down the road. The cottage is newly renovated and you couldn’t ask for cuter decor! It was spotless and had anything you would need, definitely appreciated the attention to detail. We plan on coming back in the spring!

Hollie so glad that you loved our location, creek, stocked house, and the decor! We hope to help you make many more Allegheny National Forest memories at Trout View Cottage this spring!
The place was wonderful. I cannot think of anything that we needed that wasn't there. We all loved the little decorator touches throughout the cabin. It made it so comfortable and relaxing. The sounds and views of the creek were calming while we enjoyed the firepit.
Thank you Cameron! So glad you had a nice time at Trout View Cottage on the creek!
