A true off-the-grid retreat

Guests describe this as a place to unplug, with many returning or planning return visits
Experience Wellsboro and the The Pine Creek gorge in one of the very few cabins located in the heart of the PA Grand Canyon.

This rustic getaway is located in the canyon overlooking Owassee rapids with close access to the bike trail.

Sit on the porch or the deck that overlooks the creek and watch the kayakers paddle the rapids below and the bald eagle sour through the canyon.

The space
This one of a kind cabin is located through the locked gate at the end of the dead end Owassee Road in the middle of the PA Grand Canyon!

The cabin is rustic. It is perfect for a couple or family that love the outdoors and don’t mind the rustic feel of a century old cabin.

While efforts are taken to keep the cabin “critter free” it should be noted that i cannot guarantee that guests see a bug, spider or mouse that has found its way into the cabin! Additionally, you will find that efforts are made to keep the cabin as clean as possible, but there will be dusty surfaces and the stone chimney will always have some level of dust and morter exposed.

The cabin is heated by a central wood stove, so guests should be aware that it may be a bit chilly upon arrival if the outside temperature is cold. Firewood for heating is provided.

The cabin is located at the end of a “no winter maintenance” state road that has many potholes. The road can be navigated carefully with a 2-wheel drive car, but could bottom out if your car is very low. A truck, SUV or higher sitting car (Subaru) would be better suited for this road, especially in the rain/snow.

Kitchen is stocked with basic cooking supplies (pots/pans/utensils).

Fresh linens are provided by cleaners and extra blankets are in totes. Guest coming during cold months are advised to bring additional sleeping bags.

One towel provided for each guest.

Toilet paper provided.

No soap provided.

Guest access
There are 2 parking spaces available. Host will meet guests to issue keys for gate and cabin.

Other things to note
The cabin has a small yard with a steep incline going 300 feet down to Pine Creek. Small children need to be monitored at all times.
