This was a great property for our family visiting for the Snake Hunt at CrossForks. We did have an elderly person with us, so please be aware that the steps to the second floor are pretty steep. She was able to make it up and down one time each day .... but keep that in mind depending on who is in your group.

The farmhouse was perfect for star gazing. The owner Benn and his family were very hospitable, responded quickly to my questions and provided us with good information about the area. We also enjoyed watching the sheep, horses, cows and Carlos the bull. Would definitely consider going again.

Lovely stay

We loved staying at the farmhouse and being surrounded by nature and beautiful views. Walking the property, sitting on the porch, hanging around the Firepit and stargazing were highlights. We also visited Lyman Run for swimming and fishing.

Absolutely Amazing!!!

This house checked every box for us! We got to do some “glamping”and exploring the Potter/Tioga area. The proximity to Cherry Springs was perfect! Not too far, and just enough for the kids to be ready for bed. Owner is very responsive to questions and answers in a timely manner. Our kids absolutely loved it!!!
The kitchen cabinets are GORGEOUS!
This room was a perfect room to play games in.
The barn wood was my favorite!!

Wishing on a star

We loved our stay! We’ve been talking about seeing the stars in Cherry Springs for about two years and finally made the trip. Unfortunately due to the wildfire smoke, we didn’t get to see barely any stars but we had a blast regardless!

Thanksgiving family gathering

Warm and inviting home out in the country. House was clean and well maintained. We were charmed by the rustic but very comfortably equipped roomy house and the hospitality of the owners. Enjoyed the chickens roaming the yard and the beauty of nature all around. Definitely want to return!

Wonderful Location

We choose this location for a weekend getaway. The home was very clean and comfortable. The fresh baked bread and fresh eggs from Ben and Thankful was a nice touch. The view of the sky was exactly why we had chose this home. No need to go to Cherry Creek State park to view the skies. It was phenomenal and we cannot wait to return. Thank you for a lovely stay!

Super friendly dog was roaming the property and came up to us to be pet! (She wasn't wearing a collar but we assume she belongs to the farm.) Also cute cows <3

Awesome quiet and private location!

We stayed here for our annual fraternity brother fishing trip and were very impressed with the overall accommodations. The house slept 8 very comfortably and there was plenty of room for us all to sit around the dining room table for meals and card games. The fire pit is awesome and the big covered porch gave us plenty of outdoor space if it rained. At our age (70) the steps the the second floor (where all the bedrooms are located) were a little tricky (high risers) - but if you take your time you’ll be fine. Kitchen was very clean and well stocked. The star gazing was amazing (on the nights that were clear) and you could clearly see many satellites crossing with the naked eye. Hosts were very respectful and responsive. Highly recommend for families or larger groups.

Weekend away.

We had a lovely weekend despite the cloudy/rainy weather. We missed seeing stars but, weather is not predictable months out! Our only issue was the stairs. They were taller than present day stairs code for stairs. A bit of a challenge for a group of retired seniors.

Back again

This is the second time we stayed at this property! First time was a full moon and didnt see the stars we wanted. This time it was a new moon (no moonlight) and the stars were epic! We have decided to make this weekend trip every year. Bring your own food in a cooler because the grocery store is about 50 minutes away. Benn was great to work with. The house has the old haunted farm house charm we love!

Perfect For The Stars

We stayed at Benn's house over the weekend. We drove approximately 5 hours each way for this experience. Everything about his house is perfect. Everything that you would need is there. Including the chickens that keep you company. We were fortunate to have clear skies on Saturday night and words can't describe the stars. No need to go to the state park, just go the the fields around the house and enjoy. I met Benn and he was extremely helpful in everything we needed. We will definitely be back again. Thanks Benn

About the host

Hosted by Benn Batterson

Host profile image
I was born and raised in Coudersport. After meeting my wife and graduating from Penn State we moved back to the area. I had met the previous owner of the farm while working on their grounds.
We currently live and raise our family on a sheep farm in Potter County. We strive to provide a childhood of years gone past

Why they chose this property

We purchased the farmhouse and 34 acres in 2000 and bought the remainder of the farm years later. Over the years we have improved much of the house with the latest being a new barn roof this past summer.
I love the peace and quiet here. However the winters can be long between Christmas and Spring.

What makes this property unique

We are 20 minutes from the nearest traffic light. Our farm is bordered on three sides by 250,000 acres of State Forest land. Public access to these areas allows for many outdoor activities. We are the last permanent residence on Short Run Road and may only see the mailman each day in the winter.
