Mountain Vista Chalet at Cherry Springs | Pa Grand Canyon, Pine Creek, Wellsboro

I was disappointed in our stay. The photos make it look as if you are in a quiet serene secluded location. You overlook two properties watching your neighbor mow. There wasn't a place for a comfortable outside fire- had to set in the driveway. We arrived a bit early with cleaning staff setting in her car and then we're scolded by the owner because she needed adequate time to clean She was in her car and was finished. Obviously had raced through and then blamed us. We were required to contact owner upon arrival and departure. All made me feel unwelcomed. It took weeks to get the deposit fee which was enormous. Definitely not worth it!!!!

amazing location and great host! The owner of this house was very kind and answered many questions quickly. We could see beautiful sunrise from the house and the view was just stunning! We will return someday for sure.

Our weekend stay was certainly wet from the coastal storm but warm from the fireplace and exceptionally comfortable from the furnishings. The view is beautiful in any weather. We hope to return soon.

The house was big and beautiful with excellent views of the mountain range, even just from the windows. It is located in a central location to every activity we planned to do. In particular, we went to stargaze at Cherry Springs State Park. It is only a 12 minute drive to the park from the house. The house had plenty of furniture and entertainment. The beds were comfortable and there were plenty of pillows and blankets for our crew.

Perfect experience! The chalet is wonderful and Ben and Thanh are excellent hosts. We had a minor glitch with the lock at check-in and Ben was easy to reach and resolved it immediately. The home is beautiful, clean, and comfortable. We relaxed by the fire, grilled, stargazed, visited the PA Grand Canyon, and explored Wellsboro. Views are great and the chalet is filled with games and movies if you decide to just stay in. We left our kids with grandparents for a weekend getaway, but they would have loved it as well. Highly recommend!

We had a wonderful time staying at Ben and Thanh’s place. Very secluded and very close to Cherry Hill State Park. While the park provided the best stargazing, we could still see so much right from our deck! The house was warm and welcoming and provided everything we needed. We will definitely be back. Thank you so much!

Absolutely amazing stay. Beautiful panoramic views of the hills and the night sky. The house itself is so cozy and really nice. 10 min drive to Cherry Springs with views that rival what you see at the park itself. Great hosts as well, promptly communicate and also provided a lot of great info on nearby attractions! 10/10 would come stay again!

We just got back from a wonderful 3 night stay here. The place was exactly as described, and the hosts were extremely helpful with all the info they provided. We never needed to reach out to ask any questions. We went for a stargazing trip in mid October and got lucky…one night was clear enough to enjoy the view from property. I’m sure it’s a little better in the park, but being from the city, we absolutely loved it and were impressed enough with what we could see right from the house. The other two cloudy days were spent using the pool table and jukebox, bbqing on the grill, enjoying the pellet stove, and playing boardgames around the table so we could see the gorgeous views right out the window. It was an amazing, relaxing trip. Thanks Ben and Thanh!

Was a beautiful home nestled against the woods, it had everything we needed. We enjoyed sitting outside on the deck at night viewing the stars, and we actually heard Elk bugling. The host was helpful and responded to all my questions. We loved it!!

A very nice property in a very convenient location to Cherry Springs State Park for star gazing and the entrance to the PA Grand Canyon.

Wonderful stay here!

The views are amazing! The beds and pillows were very comfortable. The pool table, jukebox and dvd/vcr playerwere great entertainment and very much appreciated. This property wasn't stuffy that you felt you couldn't relax and enjoy...also the hosts were quick to respond at answering any questions and provided a great home to enjoy.

Very peaceful, super clean, and perfect place for taking amazing pictures of the milky way

We had a lovely stay. Spacious and had all the amenities we need. Beautiful views and very peaceful. Very convenient for stargazing.

The Chalet was very clean and close to a number of great activities and locations. We enjoyed our time there immensely.

We had an absolutely wonderful time! The open space was amazing for hanging out, and the night sky was almost as good as the park's observation area

Had a great time during our stay. You can see tons of starts from the deck when the sky is clear. Beautiful views. House has something for everyone. Very clean and cozy. Owners very responsive. Would def stay again.

Great spot incredible views. And not far from any creek. Had a great time

Property was great. Exactly as described on listing. Clean and roomy. We had terrible weather so no stargazing but still beautiful scenery. Ben was extremely responsive. We would go back with hopes for better weather !

We had an absolutely fabulous 3-night stay at this mountain chalet in Cherry Springs, PA! From the moment we arrived, we were impressed by how well-appointed and thoughtfully designed the home was. It’s simple yet elegant, with every amenity you could possibly need for a comfortable and relaxing stay. The chalet is impeccably maintained and cozy, creating the perfect atmosphere to unwind.We were especially captivated by the breathtaking views and the amazing starry nights—Cherry Springs truly lives up to its reputation as one of the best stargazing spots in the country. The quiet surroundings and serenity of the area made for a peaceful retreat.We loved the combination of modern comforts and rustic charm, and we could easily tell the host takes great pride in offering a top-notch experience. We hope to return in the future when the weather allows for more outdoor activities! Thank you for an unforgettable stay! Highly recommend.

The house has everything you need for a relaxing stay in the country. While the weather didn’t cooperate for us to do any star gazing it was still a great place to relax by the fire (pellet stove) and do nothing for a few days.

This was a lovely experience! The beds were comfortable, open floor plan made it nice to gather in front of the pellet stove with big windows to see the gorgeous snowy mountain view! The variety of activites & pantry items added to the comforts!

What a wonderful property! Great views, lovely space, and close to so many great parks!

The Mountain Vista Chalet is a nice little place on the side of a hill. It has spectacular views of the eastern sky, and a nice view of the western sky is just a short drive down Songbird Way (opposite the driveway of this hours). Inside you'll find all the things I've come to associate with VRBO rentals: little knickknacks throughout, banners and signs that say things like happiness and love on the walls, and a clean and comfortable base of operations for your rustic adventure into northwest Penn. Everything about the house says don't worry, be happy in a Pennsylvania kind of way. The area is full of tiny towns and hamlets, and those are filled with friendly, kind people. I'm talking about the genuine kind of friendly, too. Not the we have to be friendly because tourism is our life kind you get in a lot of places. These folks are just nice, and finding that out was the best part of our trip. Unfortunately for us, Mother Nature was in a bit of a mood, and it rained on us every day but one. She was also very stingy with the fall colors we were hoping to ogle. But, she did give us 6 rainbows (!?), a comet and some pretty sunrises. We took what we could get. Just a note for those considering the rental: Yamaha Lane (essentially the home's driveway) is rutted and steep. Any SUV or truck won't have a problem, but something like a Camero or Mustang? Naw, don't try that. There are also lots of deer that love to dart out in front of your car. Fun!

We love the location and the property! It's a great place to unwind and spend time with family. You can't find a better stargazing location in the region than Cherry Springs, and we loved that the property was only a ten minute drive.

Planned our stay for stargazing I didn’t disappoint. Sky were clear had beautiful sunrises peaceful. Everyone loved the house. Plenty of places to go visit.

We had a truly wonderful stay at this beautiful home in Galeton. Upon check-in, we encountered a small issue with the code, but Thanh, the host, was incredibly prompt and helpful in resolving it. The house was immaculate and well-equipped, though we did miss having a cheese grater for our pasta night (but we managed!). We originally came for astrophotography, and although we only had one night with semi-clear skies for about two hours around 3 am, it was still stunning. I can only imagine how magical it would be under completely clear skies. Surrounded by breathtaking nature, we enjoyed the peace and tranquility of the setting. Watching the sunrise from the balcony and hearing wolves howling around 9 pm were unforgettable experiences. The sounds of cows mooing from the farm down the hill and the views of the horses added a unique charm to our stay. We took amazing photos of the wildlife and explored the woods out back, which was a highlight of our trip. Observing the hummingbirds attracted to the balcony plants and grounding ourselves by laying on the grass in such a serene environment was truly special. Although we didn’t get the clear skies we hoped for, we can’t wait to return and hopefully experience it fully under a starry night!

Area was very peaceful and had a fantastic view. House was great as well.
