Why Lyle and Shelly Wattles chose Gaines
With almost one half an acre, you can enjoy the mountain views and relaxing atmosphere in side or out all year long. The full ring fire pit is available for a summertime campfire. Only a few minutes to fine dining and kayak/canoe rentals. Although we are not right on Pine Creek, it's views are right across the road.

The Sweet Spot was just that for our little getaway. Just big enough for the two of us that it was not cramped, but really cozy. The owners provided several extra nice little touches for our added comfort that I have never seen when renting other places. So close to many opportunities for hiking, biking and canoeing around the PA Grand Canyon. The Lumber museum was a great rainy day excursion and not to be missed. Cloud cover didn’t warrant a trip to the dark sky park, but it’s in our list for our next visit, and enjoyed ourselves around the fire pit instead. Great couples retreat cabin, we certainly will be back!

Even better than the pictures. Very cute little house. Perfect for our anniversary get away. I liked having the area all to ourselves. No noisy hotel neighbors to deal with.

This cozy and clean, well appointed and maintained, welcoming home is close to the Pine Creek Rail Trail, Colton Point, Lenard Harrison, and Cherry Springs State Parks, Pine Creek Natural Area, Wellsboro, and miles and miles of beautiful state forest lands.
The cabin itself is located not far off state route 6 along a small forested lane shared by other homes in the area that runs along Pine Creek. There is plenty of privacy without feeling isolated! You can hear the creek while relaxing on the front deck under hemlocks and oaks. Aside from providing a safe comfortable haven with a soft bed, hot shower, and easy to use kitchen following forays out into the wilderness, the cabin has a nice yard with a fire ring along with a stocked woodshed and a large detached garage big enough to store all of your toys (bikes, kayaks, ATVs, etc) while not in use. The owners have also thoughtfully provided pamphlets, maps, and books to help guests learn about the area's attractions.
I was sorry I only had a few days to explore the area. My favorite adventures were biking the Rail Trail from Ansonia to Blackwell and back and hiking the West Rim Trail in Colton Point State Park. Gorgeous! Also, the lane right outside the cabin runs into State Game Lands and Tioga State Forest making for some invigorating and scenic rides!

Outdoor recreation can be enjoyed right outside the cabin door. The roads along the drive to the cabin are open to ATV's. Fishing is very popular on Pine Creek with the season starting in April. When the creek is up to a 2.5 level many kayaks, rafts, and canoes will be traveling Pine Creek right past the cabin. There are two rental facilities within a five mile distance that carry kayaks, canoes, and bicycles along with all the accessories. The summer gives way to the Pine Creek Rail Trail which runs 62 miles and is a 7 mile drive from the cabin. Hiking and Bicycling are very popular on the trail during the spring, summer, and fall months. The fall foliage throughout the entire area has a spectacular effect on its viewers during the months of September and October. The Pennsylvania Grand Canyon can be seen from the west brim and is a 11.5 mile drive. The dark skies of Cherry Springs brings many area astronomers. Lyman Run State Park's lake is nestled within the Pennsylvania mountains. Many fisherman and kayakers enjoy the lake during the summer months. There is also a beach for swimming there.
Galeton is located ten miles away and has many unique shops right along Main Street (Route 6). Wellsboro is the county seat of Tioga County and is 15.3 miles from the cabin. There are many events throughout the year held there including Dickens of a Christmas in December and the famous Laurel Festival in June.
