We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The cottage was very cozy. The porch was amazing we spent most of our time there. Watching the deer and the hummingbirds. We also enoyed the close proximity to Hills Creek Lake and walked to the lake every morning. The hosts were top notch and the cottage was well stocked. I highly recommend this rental.

Cottage was beautifully decorated with much charm and care. It was one of the cleanest places we have stayed. It is very apparent that the host care very much for the comfort of their guests. Communication was fantastic. Special details like the coffee bar with an abundance of coffee and tea and some special snacks was an added bonus. Beautiful area of the country great place to start a tour of the Pennsylvania Grand canyon.

Warm and Cozy

Property was great. Decor was warm cozy country feel. Very clean and well appointed. Close enough to town and some great attractions. We enjoyed our hikes and being able to come back to cook an evening meal and sit in front of the fire. Coffee in the morning on the deck was awesome.

This is the most perfect cottage. Extremly clean, beautifully decorated, and cozy. We made the most of the fireplace in the cold weather. Took a short walk/drive down to the lake to go fishing. Made many meals easily in the fully equipped kitchen. Conveniently located near the town of Wellsboro and the canyon. You will not regret staying here!
