The cabin was easy to get to and in a lovely location. There were rabbits and deer in the side yard each morning. We were there only to view the canyon and have an "unplugged" weekend, and this was the perfect place to do both!

This property was very well equipped and just right for us. We did, however, encounter some minor problems. Wifi was promised but not available until a couple of days into our stay. The host was helpful and communicative, but due to the area cell phone coverage, our phones could not receive or send calls and texts while at the cabin. The cabin was mostly clean, but there were areas of dust and cobwebs that had not been swept out prior to our stay (under furniture, in the bathroom, etc.). Overall, we enjoyed the place and would probably stay again.

We appreciate this feedback. The wifi box needed to be reset possibly due to a recent power outage. That happens every once in a while. We are sorry that it occurred during your stay. Verizon has very good service in the area. We are not sure what cell service you have, but most cell companies have very good service at the cabin. Although we try to clean very throughly, some spots can be missed. We will check this out and take care of them in the future. Your hosts, Shelly & Lyle

The cabin was just lovely, had all the comforts of home. Clean, comfortable and very quiet. Perfect location to the Grand Canyon of Pa and the cute town of Wellsboro. Loved the mountain location and a nice visit to the lumberjack museum was very educational. Would definitely stay here again.

About the host

Hosted by Lyle and Shelly Wattles

Host profile image
We are Lyle and Shelly Wattles. We live near the camp and purchased the property to enjoy ourselves as well as rent to vacationers who love the area as much as we do. Shelly owns a real estate company in Galeton, Pine Creek Real Estate. We love all of the outdoor activities that the Pine Creek Valley has to offer. We hope to make your stay as enjoyable and comfortable as possible.

Why they chose this property

With almost one half an acre, you can enjoy the mountain views and relaxing atmosphere in side or out all year long. The full ring fire pit is available for a summertime campfire. Only a few minutes to fine dining and kayak/canoe rentals. Although we are not right on Pine Creek, it's views are right across the road.

What makes this property unique

Enjoy the peace and quiet that Sweet Spot has to offer. Take an early morning stroll on Lick Run Road right along Pine Creek. Lick Run Road is open to ATV's. There are maps at the cabin which show the trails where you can start right at the cabin and ride. We offer a cozy country cabin with wood floors and knotty pine open ceiling. The cabin is fully stocked with all of the cookware and utensils that you will need for a few night's stay.
