We came for stargazing. The lodge had a tower next to it which was perfect for us. We were able to climb the tower at night and enjoy the view. It was spacious on top, with a large table and benches. We brought up our own beach chairs to be more comfortable. The lodge is extremely private with open fields all around and gave a real feeling of getting away from it all. There is a fire pit outside and a fireplace inside. Beautiful time.
Wish we had more than just the weekend to explore the area. So much to do close by that we didnt have time for. But our daughter got a wonderful picture of the milkyway taken from the platform in the field, so she was thrilled. The cabin was nice. Would stay again.
Great location for ATV’ing. House was clean and spacious.
Fun hikes, friendly (though very few) people and a beautiful peaceful setting. We were a little bummed to not get to stay in the original house we booked, with an observation tower (we were switched to the owners farmhouse because the original property needed repairs), but with smoke from Canadian fires and nearly full moons (novice stargazer here) it was very hard to stargaze anyways. My kids especially enjoyed the backyard fire pit and making s’mores. Remember to bring towels for all different purposes: we remembered bath towels but forgot dish towels, small towels to dry our hands in the bathrooms and washcloths. Woops! In any case, we had a great stay!!
Property and location were fantastic, especially for my needs: to take photos of the night sky. Benn was amazing in his support of my needs both before and during the trip. Everything was better than expected, and I will definitely be going back.
The Valley Vista is a refuge of peace. The name is accurate, with valleys descending on all sides. Had everything we needed for an enjoyable, relaxing time. Cell service is spotty, so we utilized the wifi for messaging. For suburbanites like us, it felt very remote, but in truth we weren't too far from civilization if we needed anything. Plentiful state parks, streams, trails, and beauty surrounded us. Only warning would be roads--definitely not a place for low vehicles, especially in cold months, and we were there in a dry spell so there was some airborne dust in places. (Description already notes that 4-wheel drive is recommended, so we were prepared.) Truly a gorgeous place, sky full of stars at night, and extremely restful. Thanks to owners! Got right back to us with any questions--great experience. Highly recommend!
My partner and I stayed here for a few days with our dog. It was very quiet and comfortable, with a large field to walk in and an indoor fireplace. We intended to go, but never actually went, to cherry springs state park, since we were happy with the solitude and view from the observation tower. I'd be happy to stay here again.
The location is perfect. The area is so quiet and feels remote but is only a short drive to whatever we needed. By the way, try Trails End at the Waldheim. We had a few minor issues, but Benn was extremely responsive and did everything he could to solve the problem or offer alternatives.
Once again, the lodge did not disappoint. The views are amazing. The lodge is cozy. Benn was responsive and gracious. One night of clear skies. ❤️ My family loves it here. One of our favorite places.
Very nice. Bring extra knives If cooking but everything else was perfect.
This property is a gem! The pictures do not do it justice! It was a very clean and cozy home with everything we needed for a quiet getaway. We stayed here with our two dogs who just loved the large open fields to run and play. The view of the stars was literally out-of-this-world! Previous guests say it is better than Cherry Springs State Park and I would believe it. The observation tower was awesome but because of our little corgi, we opted to stay grounded. The view was no less stunning from here either. The darkness and quiet were unbelievable. No light pollution, no road noise, just stars, the milky way, and absolute quiet. The surrounding state parks and game lands offered up more hikes than we could possibly visit in a lifetime, but we had fun trying. We will be telling all of our friends about this wonderful place. The road up is dirt and gravel and though we were blessed with perfect fall weather, 4 wheel drive would be a must in inclement weather. We will definitely be back!
This cabin is a great place to experience all the natural beauty that Potter County has to offer. From the top of the hill you can see for miles around & the view is even more amazing from the observation deck. The property borders State Forest land which provides great opportunities to explore right from the cabin door. The cabin itself provides all the essentials & is setup well for multiple families. The hosts are very responsive & we plan on returning in the future.
We came to the property for a few days to see what the hype was about the dark sky's. The property was great, clean and comfortable. All the essentials were there. The location is perfect for sky viewing although the weather in late September did not cooperate (except for the last night). But, what I did see the last night was truly remarkable. We will be back.
This was a great place to stay; it was clean and had everything we could have needed. And the observation tower - what a view!! Despite the full moon, we saw a ton of stars and were wowed by the meteors. I would definitely stay here again!
Great experience!
We had the most amazing time. The property might possibly be the most beautiful spot in Pennsylvania! The pictures do not do it justice :-) The house was clean and had everything we could possibly need. The observation deck was the perfect place to look out over the country. The stars were magnificent and the whole reason we stayed, but we were pleasantly surprised with the beauty of the farms and surrounding hills and woods. There is also a field of grass/wildflowers that fills the air with an amazing scent. We loved this place.
This house is in a great location for hiking, fishing, and stargazing. Far enough away to enjoy the sounds of nature, but close enough to modern amenities if required. Plenty of space for our crew of 9, fully equipped kitchen was ideal.
Had a wonderful experience at the property. Beautiful setting atop a hill with fantastic views, hiking trails, and a nice fire pit under the stars.
A perfect location to stargaze or enjoying the outdoors. A 4wd is almost a must and be sure to check the weather and moon phase before going to maximize your experience. Unfortunately, the weather was terrible for us to stargaze but exploring the area made up for it and the location was secluded, peaceful and beautiful.
