Weekend Getaway
This is our second time staying at sweet spot. This time we visited in the fall rather than the summer and it was just as nice as the first time. Everything is clean and everything in the description is there. We had a washout on Saturday so we visited some local bars and restaurants. The locals and other visitors are very friendly and great food for fair prices. We spent late afternoon and evening just at the cabin relaxing by the gas stove and listening to the rain and watching tv. If you like tv just wanted to say channels are very limited and it is not a smart tv. Would highly recommend this cabin and we are already looking forward to a 3rd visit!!

Anniversary Get Away
Pine Creek Cabin was perfect for our 20th Anniversary. The cabin was impeccably clean and very cozy for two people. Everything you would need was in the cabin. All we had to do was show up with clothing. Shelly and Lyle were quick to respond and helpful with places to eat. In addition, the cabin was close to everything we wanted to do. We had a great time biking the Pine Creek Trail, visiting Wellsboro, and the two state parks. I would highly recommend that quaint cabin to all couples.

Comfortable and conveniently located, yet private and peaceful!
The Sweet Spot cabin was just as described. My husband and I enjoyed hiking, biking and kayaking the gorge (I wouldn’t recommend kayaking unless the water level in Gaines is at least 2’). But at 1.9’ we were able to make the 8 mile trip from above Gaines down to Pine Creek Outfitters with only getting hung up on rocks a few times. The area is absolutely beautiful. Everything we needed was provided, check in/check out was so easy and the communication was very prompt. We would love to return to this area again later in the year as I’d imagine it’s gorgeous here in the fall. Thank you for an enjoyable week Shelly and Lyle!!

Wonderful Relaxation in the Woods!
Our little house on a camp road was much cuter and cozier than I imagined! It had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. It is about 20 minutes from Wellsboro, which was a good place to buy groceries and browse the shops. We will be back!

I cannot find one thing I would need or ask to be changed about this cabin. Unless of coarse it could be picked up and placed on the river! 😉 Shelly was the best for answering questions or concerns. A very clean and comfortable place with attention to detail. Can’t wait to return next year! Thank you Shelly for making our vacation a relaxing and enjoyable stay.

Great place, very well cared for and immaculate! Had everything we needed in terms of supplies, and well-located for us. Mostly we spent the long weekend exploring the area: hiking through blooming mountain laurel, night skies at Cherry Springs Park, walking around Wellsboro, etc. Next time we'll do the rail trail. Thanks!!
