Spent two days here and really enjoyed Kinzua Bridge, Cherry Springs, and other local parks.
Location is awesome. We were fortunate to have clear skies and the stargazing was unbelievable. Very clean and well stocked house. Highly recommend and we’ll be back!
We had an awesome vacation, and made wonderful family memories! Chris, our host, was amazing. On our arrival, we got lost finding the lodge, and Chris was quick to answer our phone call and make sure we arrived safely. The lodge was just as described, and you could tell the owners added the right touches to make for a great stay. Unfortunately, we didn't have the best weather, but we were able to see the starry skies one evening, and it was stunning! The viewing area is well maintained with lots of space. During the day, we went fishing and hiking. I highly recommend the covered wagon tour in Wellsboro, about 45 mins away. So much fun! We will definitely visit again! (5) Stars!! The Cardon Family
Was a great & very private place to stay. It was beautiful, clean, and a beautiful location. It had everything and more. Chris was a great host.
We loved this cabin. It was a rainy weekend but there were so many things to discover in the cabin! We played board games and foosball. Then we took a quick hour drive to Benezette to see elk. The kids couldn’t wait to get back to the cabin. Thanks Chris
The wife and I loved the firepit and star field. The sky was gorgeous and we saw a good number of meteors. The cabin itself is also beautiful. There were a few stray dog-hairs here and there on some blankets, but the place was very clean and did not smell like animals at all. They do not provide firewood, but you can buy some from stands along the road not too far from the cabin. Zero regrets about staying here.
We've stayed in a lot of VRBO rentals and Blue Sky Lodge is one of the best! The setting is very quiet and secluded and you won't hear or see another human while you're there. The stone driveway is steep but manageable. The cabin was clean and comfortable and we love the porch and outdoor areas. We spent a lot of time at the firepit and the dogs loved to run around and smell the wildlife in the stargazing field. There was a steady stream of deer past the cabin all weekend and we also saw turkeys and a young fox while walking the trails. As secluded as it feels, it's only 7 minutes to Austin if you need basic supplies or 15 minutes to Coudersport. Highly recommended!
Beautiful views fire pit well used and the field to view the stars top notch. Thank you for such a nice stay.
Even better than expected! Beautiful home and gorgeous setting.
A perfectly cozy, warm, well interneted, and fun stay. Truly pitch-black at night for viewing too!
The property is as beautiful as described! The host is easy to communicate with and very accommodating! Looking forward to spending time here again.
We booked this cabin for three people to have a birthday celebration, and it was even better than expected! It is a beautiful property, so carefully curated for a comfortable/fun stay. Some things I considered when looking for a place to stay and my experience with them: General comfort level - 10/10!! The couch/chairs are very cozy, there's a huge selection of blankets, the beds are SO comfortable, and they provide plenty of towels. The hot water never ran out and there was great water pressure. Entertainment - Very fast WiFi, it worked great! The TV worked perfectly and had an hdmi cable, and the bar area was full of games. Some really cool games too! Privacy - again, 10/10! You can't see another house from the cabin or from the firepit - so if you're looking to get away from crowds this place is amazing. The viewing field is better than pictures can show! They also provide plenty of things to cook with (extras like a waffle maker, crock pot, blender, ice trays!) so that you can hunker down and be self sustaining. Such a huge plus! Star viewing - I sadly cannot comment on this because our stay was overcast the whole time, but I have every reason to think it would have been incredible. Before the trip I thought if I didn't get to see the stars I would feel the trip wasn't worth it, but the beauty of the surrounding area and the perfect setup of the cabin proved me wrong and I still had one of the best weekends of my life. I obviously 100% recommend staying here, I don't know anything they could do better or provide that they don't!
The accommodations were very comfortable. While the surroundings were quiet and secluded, the small towns of northern PA were close by and we could enjoy shopping and dining there without spending all day driving around. The firepit and stargazing field were great. One word of advice: if you're really there to see the stars, be sure to schedule to be there during the new moon.
This place is even better than the reviews suggest. It’s on an absolutely beautiful piece of property with miles of trails. The stargazing field was perfect for yard games in the afternoons and spreading out a blanket to look at stars at night. It’s definitely rural, but we brought lots of food and drinks and hunkered down and just had the most perfect stay. It has everything you would need for a stay and was very clean and comfortable. Highly recommend!
It was a great place. Very secluded and loved the star gazing field! Very clean! Definitely would return.
This property is amazing and secluded from everything. Perfect Getaway to view the Milky way in the 10 acre field and secluded in the woods. The house is clean and filled with a cabin vibe like no other. Definitely would love to return and experience.
We got to see an insane amount of stars, relax, cook out, and have fires without seeing another person the entire stay. The location of this cabin is unreal. The pictures truly don’t do this place justice. It’s beautiful and a great getaway for the family. Super easy to get in touch with management as well! We had a great time and we will be back.
