About this property

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!!

About the host

Hosted by Ben Fitzkee

Host profile image
My partner Thanh and I have been vacationing in Potter county for 10 years. Our first love was the stars, and the serenity that surrounded us. Over the years we’ve found this land has so much more to offer, and we continue to discover more each year. Hosting people brings us so much joy, and we’d be honored to share the experience of Potter county with you and your loved ones.

Why they chose this property

We chose this property because of the exceptional views of the surrounding area, and it's location. While being fairly remote, it's only a 10 minute drive to Cherry Springs State Park, and is within a 45 minute drive of the PA Grand Canyon, Ole Bull State Park, the Pine Creek Gorge, and Coudersport. It's also on the main path for ATVs and snowmobiles. From the property you may ride hundreds of miles of trails and roads.

What makes this property unique

The home is uniquely situated for a weekend of peaceful relaxation, or a week of adventure. From the comfort and privacy of the deck you can enjoy a perfect view of the Milky Way Galaxy. If you prefer to venture to Cherry Springs, you'll only have a 10 minute drive. The home is located atop a perfect sledding hill, and an attached garage is provided to store your ATVs and snowmobiles. We are located along a main section of the ATV/Snowmobile trail network, and you can ride straight from the house without having to hitch a trailer or transport any gear away from the home. You can reach the PA Grand Canyon in 40 minutes for sightseeing, hiking, kayaking, and canoeing. If you prefer to stay in, you may enjoy the pool table and classic rock tunes on the vintage jukebox. When you're ready to relax, the large couch and cozy floor to ceiling fireplace will be waiting for you. Whatever your plans may be, the Chalet is able to accommodate you.
