So sorry about the well not working properly during your stay. I responded quickly by immediately calling a well repair specialist and thought that everything was fixed within that hour. I am going to have him come back to find out why the water shut off again. Please accept my apologies.

We found the Trout View Cottage so very charming. The cottage was crisp, clean and tastefully decorated. It accommodated 7 people without feeling at all crowded and kids were well entertained. Although settled in a cabin community, we were pleasantly surprised at how quiet and peaceful it was around a lovely campfire. We loved our stay and highly recommend it!

Trout View Cottage is a perfect getaway for anyone! Beautifully located, steps away from the creek which was so much fun to explore. Many different trails to hike in the area, also kayaking available right down the road. The cottage is newly renovated and you couldn’t ask for cuter decor! It was spotless and had anything you would need, definitely appreciated the attention to detail. We plan on coming back in the spring!

The place was wonderful. I cannot think of anything that we needed that wasn't there. We all loved the little decorator touches throughout the cabin. It made it so comfortable and relaxing. The sounds and views of the creek were calming while we enjoyed the firepit.

Looking to visit ANF area this fall? My husband and I renovated this house on East Hickory Creek and would like to rent it to fellow Tionesta lovers! We put our heart and sole into “Trout View” making it a cozy cottage on the creek great for friends and families to make memories.

I currently host another property nearby called Hickory Creek Haven and just love the area and hosting!

Why they chose this property

The creek is beautiful and the neighbors are friendly! It is close to all of the fun day trips that the Allegheny National Forest and the Allegheny River have to offer!

Fishing in Tionesta Lake, swimming, kayaking, hunting, hiking, and horseback riding are just a few of the fun adventures that the Tionesta area has to offer.

What makes this property unique

It has a stocked trout creek in the back yard! Also 3 beds, bar table with seating for 6 that overlooks the creek and a cozy cabin vibe! All appliances and a stocked kitchen and bath for 6 guests.
