I highly recommend staying at the Mountain Vista Chalet. I visited with my 2 nephews for the purpose of star gazing. Although the Mountain Vista Chalet is only a few minutes from Cherry Springs Park, the view of the stars from the Mountain Vista Chalet deck was so good that we never went to the park. The accommodations were clean, modern and spacious and views from the deck, even during the day when we weren't star gazing were awesome. The hosts, Ben and Thanh, communicated, in a timely and detailed guidebook, everything we needed for our stay. Also, we ran into an issue with our car on the check-out day (a flat tire) which delayed our check-out past the required time, and Ben and Thanh graciously allowed us the time we needed to get the tire fixed before we checked out. I highly recommend this place and if I ever come back to the area for star gazing, the Mountain Vista Chalet will be my choice for the place to stay!

The house was big and beautiful with excellent views of the mountain range, even just from the windows. It is located in a central location to every activity we planned to do. In particular, we went to stargaze at Cherry Springs State Park. It is only a 12 minute drive to the park from the house. The house had plenty of furniture and entertainment. The beds were comfortable and there were plenty of pillows and blankets for our crew.

Absolutely amazing stay. Beautiful panoramic views of the hills and the night sky. The house itself is so cozy and really nice. 10 min drive to Cherry Springs with views that rival what you see at the park itself. Great hosts as well, promptly communicate and also provided a lot of great info on nearby attractions! 10/10 would come stay again!

Perfect experience! The chalet is wonderful and Ben and Thanh are excellent hosts. We had a minor glitch with the lock at check-in and Ben was easy to reach and resolved it immediately. The home is beautiful, clean, and comfortable. We relaxed by the fire, grilled, stargazed, visited the PA Grand Canyon, and explored Wellsboro. Views are great and the chalet is filled with games and movies if you decide to just stay in. We left our kids with grandparents for a weekend getaway, but they would have loved it as well. Highly recommend!

We had a wonderful time staying at Ben and Thanh’s place. Very secluded and very close to Cherry Hill State Park. While the park provided the best stargazing, we could still see so much right from our deck! The house was warm and welcoming and provided everything we needed. We will definitely be back. Thank you so much!

Was a beautiful home nestled against the woods, it had everything we needed. We enjoyed sitting outside on the deck at night viewing the stars, and we actually heard Elk bugling. The host was helpful and responded to all my questions. We loved it!!

Return Visit - Just as Lovely as First Trip

We love the location and the property! It's a great place to unwind and spend time with family. You can't find a better stargazing location in the region than Cherry Springs, and we loved that the property was only a ten minute drive.
