Remote Cabin on 55 acres The rural wooded area surrounding the Cabin, Cherry Springs State Park, Coudersport, PA and Potter County, PA is a nature lover's paradise. The small town of Coudersport, with its quaint downtown and historic courthouse, provides a welcoming atmosphere for visitors. Just a short drive away, the adjacent town of Wellsboro, PA offers stunning views of the Pennsylvania Grand Canyon, while the tiny town of Austin PA is home to the Austin Dam – a historic engineering feat.

But the true highlight of this area is Cherry Springs State Park. Known as one of the best locations in the United States for star gazing, visitors flock to this park to catch a glimpse of the dazzling night sky. With minimal light pollution, the stars shine bright and clear, creating an unforgettable experience.

Perfect get-away cabin

What a gem! The house is extremely well kept, clean, and full of activities. There's board games, books, and a whole astronomy section, including binoculars!We were here for a quick getaway, with hopes of seeing the planetary parade from the stargazing field. We got lucky, and Mother Nature cleared the skies for a few hours. Absolutely amazing!The host, Chris, was friendly and full of great advice. This was our first VRBO experience: it won't be our last. Thanks so much!

Perfect peaceful getaway

This is a very private property with lovely, cozy accommodations. Even though the super moon made Star-gazing less than ideal, we could not have had a better long weekend in this wonderful place. Chris was a wonderful host - excellent communications and check in was seamless. We had everything needed to cook and the beds were super comfy. And the hot tub!!! Awesome! Thank you for sharing your incredible property with us; it brought us a lot of happiness!

This is the second property I have stayed at that Chris hosts. He is a great host and the properties are amazing. If you want to find a place to stay and just relax and enjoy the beautiful dark skies his properties are fantastic. They are also close enough to enjoy what Potter County has to offer in the form of outdoor recreation. Looking forward to returning to the area.

What a beautiful place!

The house is awesome, with so many nice little homey touches like the coffee bar, that made us feel really welcome. We loved stargazing in the field and hiking the trails on the property. We were there for our anniversary and I wish we could have stayed longer, but it was the perfect place for us to get away from everything. Chris was really super helpful with his communication. I hope we can come back soon!

Beautiful cabin and skies!

It was good to spend some time in the woods and get away from our electronics for a few days. The cabin was great and supplied everything you might need (it was nice to not have to worry about packing bedding, towels, kitchen tools, etc.). And, the skies were just incredible. We had a very relaxing trip and thoroughly enjoyed our stay. We definitely plan on returning some day!

Best getaway 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.

Absolutely loved it

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!

This was the escape we needed

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.

Beautiful cabin, excellent star gazing

Our family stayed at Blue Skies Lodge in June 2018 and everything was perfect. Cabin is beautiful and has everything you need on hand, other than food. We had excellent star gazing in the field near the cabin. Made s'mores over the outdoor fire pit. Watched DVDs on hand, played cards and games. Enjoyed the "off the grid" experience of no cell service, no wi-fi. Thank you for sharing our cabin.

We love Blue Sky Lodge!

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!

Family August Vacation, August 2023

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

A gorgeous, secluded woodland paradise!

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!
