    It is wonderful staying here! Everything you need is here. After spending the day enjoying the area it is a pleasure to stay in the cottage. We particularly enjoyed the comfortable seating in the living room and the warmth of the fireplace. We frequently enjoyed the kitchen eating our meals there. We did not cook but noted the kitchen is stocked with all that would be needed to cook. The shower had great pressure and was refreshing after a day of riding bikes! We slept comfortably in the well-furnished bedroom with plenty of storage for our clothes during our stay. The cottage is beautifully decorated. Our hosts were welcoming and made checking in and out a breeze!

    IF YOU ARE THINKING ABOUT IT JUST GO FOR IT. We specifically stayed here for the Mountain View’s but the home was better than expected. Eating breakfast on the porch in the swinging chair, being walking distance from so many trails and horses, the endless beauty of it all, ending the night in front of the fire in a cozy recliner. It was so beyond peaceful. Getting to explore the small city and its history was so honoring. Mr and Mrs Vogel are so incredibly kind. On day one my husband and I made a silly mistake and they came to us in no time to help. Friendly waves every time we saw them outside. Knowing they were right next door was comforting. Even when it rained we were so in love, the way the clouds came low over the mountains, and getting to drive through clouds, omg. Magical. I never have stayed at the same place twice but this just might be an annual trip for us. Thank you Mr and Mrs Vogel for this treasure of a stay that we will never forget.

    My Husband and I enjoyed our stay at this cozy little cottage. Perfect for two! We walked the rail trail which is right across the street and enjoyed visiting the overlooks at the Grand Canyon of PA which were just a short drive away. We had a lovely dinner at Becks Bistro in Wellsboro, which was also just a short distance from the cabin. So, as you can see, this cottage is in a convenient location while also on a quiet and relatively private street. The mountain view is amazing from the porch which we enjoyed after hiking or walking the trail. Thanks again to our hosts for making this cottage clean, cozy, comfortable and available!

    I don't think I can say enough good about this wonderful cabin and my experience there. From the moment I met Jim and Michelle to the minute I had to return to reality I was very happy! The cabin is adorable and very clean. The proximity to the Pine Creek Rail Trail is excellent. Everything I needed was in the kitchen, the shower is hot with great water pressure, the front porch is perfect for sipping the morning cup of tea. I will definitely return for another visit in the future! For those of you who hike or bike, I rode 26 miles on the trail and was impressed with the view, the facilities, and the packed surface. I have stayed in many VRBO's over the years, the Vogel Nest sets a high bar and lives up to the reviews. Thank you to Jim and Michelle for being such gracious hosts.

    We absolutely loved this cabin! The Vogel Nest was a perfect home base for a wonderful week exploring the Pinecreek Rail Trail and all that the surrounding area of Wellsboro has to offer! The cabin is truly created and designed as a home away from home and welcomes all who enter. It had all of the supplies we needed to prepare our meals. The front porch was the perfect place to start the day with a cup of coffee, and also to relax after a day of fun and exploration. We heard so many different birds, and saw an abundance of wildlife. We highly recommend this cabin to anyone looking to explore the area!

    This is a beautiful little cottage on a very quiet road. We loved sitting on the porch early in the morning, drinking our coffee. At night we sat by the fire. The cottage is right next to the walking/biking trail. And, not too far from town. The town is like a Hallmark town with unique shops and lots of good restaurants. This was our second time to stay at the Vogel Nest.
