You'll have the entire home to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

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

Your mountain chalet is located on 3.5 acres of serene land, perched atop Yochum Hill, only 10 minutes from Cherry Springs State Park. The chalet is the perfect setting for a secluded couple getaway, family vacation with up to 9 guests, or a launch pad for a week of outdoor adventures. Thrill seekers can explore hundreds of miles of ATV and snowmobile trails directly from the property, or take a short drive to Lyman Lake, Pa Lumber Museum or the Pa Grand Grand Canyon.

THE SPACE

Your chalet is tucked into the forest atop Yockum Hill and includes 3.5 acre acres of land to explore. This includes an acre of grassy hillside for stargazing, cooking s’mores or sledding in the winter. The remainder of the property is woodland. From the chalet you may ride your ATV on all roads from Memorial Day until Labor Day, and snowmobile during the winter. There's even an attached garage with overhead doors on each end so you can drive your ATV or snowmobile in one side and pull out the other.

There is a gravel parking lot spacious enough for 6+ vehicles or trailers. The attached garage is accessible to you during your stay.

Entering from the side of the home, you will find the laundry area, and a space for coats and shoes. Next you’ll pass through the kitchen which has been fully stocked with the cookware you’ll want to keep your fellow guests well fed.

As you explore the kitchen, your attention will be drawn to the great room by the floor to ceiling stone fireplace and the majestic mountain views pouring through the ten large windows. The pellet stove is easily operated and provides a wonderful radiant heat sufficient to warm the entire first and second floor. There is no AC in the home, but there are two large ceiling fans in the great room, and three oscillating fans provided.

In the great room you’ll find an open floor plan that includes a dining table with seating for 10, a sitting room surrounding the fireplace, and an entertainment space with a 55” smart TV for streaming all your favorite shows and movies.

All of the bedrooms are located on the back half of the home where the shade of the forest will help keep you cool on those warm summer days. There is a large bedroom on the first floor with a queen bed, a large built in shelving unit for clothing and a closet. The second floor has another large bedroom with a queen bed and a third bedroom with a bunk bed setup. The bunk bed includes a full size lower bed and a single lofted bed. In the basement there is a full size mattress inside a pullout couch.

In the basement you’ll find a pool table, vintage 60’s Rockola Jukebox which plays 45s, and another seating area with a pullout couch. There’s another pellet stove to keep you comfortable and two more sliding doors giving you access to the lower deck.

GUEST ACCESS

In general the house and property are yours to enjoy. Exceptions include: the detached garage, 2nd floor owners closet in hallway, and the storage rooms in the basement.

NOTES

There is no AC, you are the dishwasher and 4x4 or AWD are strongly encouraged during ice or snow. The home is remote and the driveway is steep.

Star Gazing And Countryside
Great property, great location, and great communication. Property was great for stargazing and only 8 minutes away from Cherry Springs. Our family enjoyed the time there, the three teenagers especially enjoying the outdoors and the pool table. Someplace we would definitely stay again.

Mountain Vista Chalet
The chalet is tastefully decorated and comfy. It is spacious and has 3 bed-rooms (4 beds) that suit my family's need. Sitting in the chalet or on the deck, you can enjoy the beautiful mountain views during daytime and stars at nights. The chalet is stocked with utensils/tools, spices, linens, towels and first-aid therefore provides a lot of convenience. The hosts are very responsive and friendly and always offer detailed and helpful information. The chalet also has board games, movies and pool and my whole family enjoyed the stay!

Perfect weekend
We had a wonderful time at the mountain vista chalet. The home is spacious, clean, and welcoming. The land is gorgeous, as is the view of the mountains and stars. The main room was perfect for a relaxing evening looking out over the mountains, with extra warmth from the pellet stove. We got engaged here the first night while admiring the stars! The game room has a lot to offer as well, with the pool table, jukebox, board games, and lots of movies. The VHS player was nostalgic fun too! The kitchen had everything we needed to make breakfast and dinner. A short 8 minute drive took us to Cherry Springs park for an unbeatable view of the night sky. We also explored other walking/hiking trails in the area. Perfect for a romantic getaway, would stay here again!!

Peaceful and Relaxing
Everything was exactly as shown. The hosts were very responsive (even to questions ahead of the stay). The views from the deck were amazing, although we didn't think to check the moon cycle so we didn't see many stars. The pellet stoves made the whole house seem cozy, and the pool table was fun! I would definitely recommend this house to anyone seeking a peaceful getaway from the bustle.

Amazing Views & Stay
This was our first trip to Potter County to view the Dark Skies, and we were amazed by the scenery, location, but most importantly, the property. We stayed with our adult children and my sister and her partner, and everyone said that the house was one of the most thoughtfully appointed vacation rental. We cooked all our meals at the house and enjoyed being together with the night skies as our main entertainment. Everything was fairly easy to find, and we appreciated the clear directions to operate the pellet stove. We truly enjoyed our stay and would recommend the house to anyone staying in the area.

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.
