About the host

Hosted by Robin Kuleck

Host profile image
My husband Mike and I bought the Filling property in 2007 to fulfill my dream of owning a farm with alpacas. I enjoy creating - whether it is knitting, crocheting, tatting, and now weaving.... having fiber animals seemed a natural extension. I have followed a circuitous career path, registered nurse, family & consumer science (home economics) teacher and certified financial planner. Mike is retired and I am the certified school nurse with the Cameron County School District as well as owner of Kuleck Financial Planning.

Why they chose this property

Over the years we created an oasis that we are now able to share with others by providing an apartment rental without internet and limited cell service. Visitors to the Pennsylvania Wilds will experience country life in Cameron County where the state owns about 80% of the land in state game lands, state parks and state forests.

What makes this property unique

The farm is bordered by the Rails to Trails connecting Emporium to St. Marys. The West Creek Branch of the Susquehanna river runs through the property. We have a stocked fish pond for catch and release of small and large mouth bass. Flower and vegetable garden, apple orchard and about 16 acres of fenced pastures for the alpacas and dairy goats to graze on. Visitors often take in the Cherry Springs Dark Skies, Kinzua Railroad Bridge, Allegany National Forest and the Elk Visitor Center in Benezette PA.
