Physical cabin was complete BUT the driveway was VERY challenged. It was on a large incline and turning around a trailer was incredibly difficult. This should be made clear in the description of the cabin. It was not commented on at all. I would have rented another cabin, if I knew about it. ALL policies of the Cabin were followed perfectly by myself. I WAS not pleased at all.

Perfect Get-away

Comfortable, relaxing, well maintained and worry free stay. Even with wet weather, we got a long walk on the property, and enjoyed napping to the pit-pat of rain on the roof. Also connected for easy movie selections, game time, and popcorn. Star gazing will wait till next time!

May Stay

We had a great time! Sadly we had complete cloud cover so we didn't get to see any stars, but staying in the cabin was very nice. The kitchen is bigger than the pictures make it out to be, and the very small windows in the bedroom make it perfect for a good night's sleep. The Galeton Shop N Save was well stocked and a great place to get any groceries.

This was our second time staying at the cabin. It is so close to multiple state parks including Cherry Springs. Nature, stars, and relaxation. What else could we ask for? Thanks for a great weekend!

Peaceful...

Was overall happy with stay. Close to fishing and shops. Weather could have been a bit better but the cabin was pleasant. Just make sure you take things such as garbage bags, plastic baggies, paper towels, toilet paper. There is no vacuum

Beautiful Stay Under the Stars

Benn was very friendly and helpful with our reservation. We had to move some of our dates around to be fitting for other things that had come up and Benn was willing to make adjustments to accommodate us. Communication with him was very easy and prompt. The building and interior is very clean and simple. For me it's what made the stay so comfortable. There's so much hang out space inside and out. The kitchen is well stocked with varying sizes of pots and pans, cooking utensils, dishes and cups. The bathroom is on the smaller side but it didn't bother us much. The loft room where the bed is, is spacious and comfortable as well. The only thing I can think of that was a slight problem is the lack of curtains/shades on the windows. We were able to resolve it by using the extra pillows and blankets to block out the light but it does shine onto the bed a bit due to the positioning. Although the property was located next to the road and a few hundred feet below another house, it felt incredibly private. During the day there was very little traffic and essentially none in the evening. At night, aside from the sounds of leaves rustling and evening critters, the road was silent. There was no light pollution which made it perfect for sitting out and star gazing. A short 2-3 minute walk up the road provided views of the sky that were comparable to the views at Cherry Springs State Park. This is a wonderful place to stay

Wonderful stay at this cozy cabin! Easy check in and check out process. Private, serene setting in the woods behind a few acres of farmland. We came for stargazing and trout fishing and the location was perfect. Cherry Springs State Park is a very easy 15 min drive from the cabin, but we were also excited to find the view of the night sky from the property was just as spectacular. We also found nearby Lyman Run and Asaph Run were excellent fishing. Would recommend this place to anyone looking for a relaxing getaway in beautiful Potter County.

Very quiet & secluded couples cabin in the woods. You can see the stars so well on clear nights from the back porch. CHARCOAL grill out back for your ribs & chicken wings. Steps are a little steep. Not recommended for families with little ones. Close to Cherry Springs and great hiking in the PA Grand Canyon. Has a few issues with fuses and electric going out but was back within 1 hour. Overall a great place to stay and will definitely return if back in the Cherry Springs area.

Perfect Bare-bones Accomodations for a few days away

Cabin was great to just rest and recharge after a few days of hiking and stargazing. Had to drop a star for location only because its a bit further than many other spots closer to Cherry Springs. But, it is on a farm so we got to enjoy watching the bulls and sheep grazing.

Great getaway!

Our stay at Benn’s place was great. The place was clean and had everything that we needed. Nice and cozy and easy to find. One thing to note about the location is the gravel road does have a stretch that will ice over in the winter months.

Magic cottage

The outside of the cabin is deceiving. At first look I expected a small hut; but once inside what a surprise. Downstairs a large living room and warm spacious kitchen. Upstairs a huge bedroom. Entire cabin all knotty pine.

Secluded and Peaceful

My partner and I enjoyed our stay. The bed was very comfortable, kitchen is well-stocked and much bigger in person than the photos imply. We enjoyed the fire pit and listening to the birds. While the property is located along a dirt road, the local traffic of cars and ATVs is not disruptive. Benn, the owner/manager was very communicative before our arrival (to remind me to bring towels! Don't forget, like we did) and during our stay when we encountered a few issues. His attention was on point and professional. The cabin is a great home base for visiting Cherry Springs Park (only 15 min drive) and the magnificent lush forests, nearby. The local town of Galeton is small, but charming. Be sure to have breakfast at Mays and stop at the local General Store. There's also a grocery store in town to pick up supplies. Thank you for your hospitality, Benn.
