About this property

Entire place

You'll have the entire cabin to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

UNFORGETTABLE TIMES...500+ ACRES, 3/4 MILE ON PINE CREEK!

A DREAM FOR THOSE WHO ENJOY NATURE AND WILDLIFE ALONG WITH THE WARM PEACE OF AN EVENING FIRESIDE! Stroll along an old railroad bed beside a babbling and pristine trout stream running along breathtaking mountain views. A one-of-a-kind property with more than 500 private acres containing many hillside trails for your exclusive enjoyment--many options for hiking, horseback riding and cross-country skiing or just wandering and wondering.

The flat open areas around the cabin and our full-size barn offer a variety of sites for your private events including weddings, reunions and corporate retreats. Horse stalls are available with both outside and inside shelter. And to get even further away, an extensive variety of open and wooded trails meander across and over the mountain for many miles. And we are just up the road from the north entrance to the Pennsylvania Grand Canyon!

Sunsets bring on a sort of magnetism to our unmatched fire pit where many flames of debate have settled the differences of the past among friends. Of course, there is always another matter called to order for the next evening, or of course you can simply lean back, unwind, and find your answers in the stars...of which there are many! Very far from any neighbors, only the trees will hear your singing and tales, and they will pass along only a few whispers....

Inside the cabin, enjoy extensive hand-crafted woodwork and construction hewn from timbers on the property. Relax in front of a unique and inviting stone fireplace built from stones gathered from the property and surrounded by floor to ceiling windows. The fireplace rises from the center of the room with a cylindrical stack stretching up a two-story atrium and alongside a rustic spiral timber staircase. You won't want to leave this cabin...!

(Doors to the cabin and some out-buildings are monitored by exterior security cameras for protection of both you and us.)

(Make sure you are aware of advance notice requirement and fees for linens & towels, pets, total guests more than 10 or extra room.)

Something for everyone

Our family made some great lasting memories here. We all had such a great time. This was a really unique rental with many amenities. Between the game room and the property itself there was always something to do. Joe was easy to work with and responded to all my questions in a timely manner. He was very friendly and you could tell he genuinely wanted our family to have an enjoyable trip. Our family is looking forward to coming back again in the future.

Fun in the countryside.

We had a peaceful family time near to Wellsboro and PA Grand Canyon. From watching the deer munch on apples to hiking, this place has a lot of charm. The octagonal house was unique and comfortable for a large group. The host was available to talk with.

Return to Nature

The Octagon never disappoints! Joe and Maitland’s property is perfect for walking, hiking or sitting by the Pine Creek. The mountain trails and glorious Fall foliage bring peace to the soul. The upgraded facade, roof, and wood flooring add to the charm of the cabin and its welcoming atmosphere. We are already planning next year’s adventure.

Great Spot for a Family Get-Together

This Pine Creek cabin was perfect for our family weekend: unique architecture, a beautiful setting, and plenty of room for all of us to spread out. Convenient to the Pine Creek Rail Trail -- a beautiful spot for our bike ride -- and to the local bike rental. Not too far from downtown Wellsboro. The house itself was well-equipped, clean and comfortable. Thanks for a great stay!

Wonderful property.

This property provided a wonderful opportunity to gather with family and friends for the weekend. The unique architecture and space allowed for great fireside talks and meals in the open dining/living area. As advertised the sleeping space is ample and our group was very comfortable and able to spread out after a long weekend hiking the laurels and ridges in Potter county. Looking forward to coming back next year!

Amazing Getaway

Our family had an amazing time at this property. Super clean, cool layout, and overall very chill environment. We mainly hung out in the house around the gorgeous fireplace which is appointed by a cute bear climbing the chimney. We will be booking again in warmer weather to enjoy the exterior spaces as much as we did the interior.

Multi-generation family getaway

Four generations of our came together for a family celebration and had a fantastic time! As stated in other reviews, the stairway inside the cabin is not easily maneuvered, but the outside stairway to the second floor provided an easy solution to accessing the bedroom level. The property provides access to a beautiful stream, and we enjoyed hours of fishing at the pond and sitting around a fire at the enormous fire pit.

Nice quiet place for our family group of 9. Could have easily accomodated more.

Nice accommodations for a family vacation with most of the comforts of home. AC was great when the temps were in the 90's. Available firewood on site was convenient. Big custom table inside made for quick meals regardless of weather and also for nighttime games with the kids.

Nice rustic cabin

We enjoyed our stay. The grounds were well maintained, area is beautiful. The game room has some issues, couches in main cabin need some serious TLC, and the main staircase needs to be redesigned (external staircase is a workaround, but that cannot the primary means of reaching upper floor.). Kitchen works well enough, bathrooms were clean and ac works great.
