The cabin was just lovely, had all the comforts of home. Clean, comfortable and very quiet. Perfect location to the Grand Canyon of Pa and the cute town of Wellsboro. Loved the mountain location and a nice visit to the lumberjack museum was very educational. Would definitely stay here again.

Beautiful property, tidy home and great homeowners

Shelly and Lyle have quite the little get away! We made many plans for our weekend stay, but found ourselves tucked in this hidden gem for majority of our time just relaxing. Upon leaving we had locked our keys in our vehicle and Lyle was quick to respond and help us out! Thanks again!

About the host

Hosted by Lyle and Shelly Wattles

Host profile image
We are Lyle and Shelly Wattles. We live near the camp and purchased the property to enjoy ourselves as well as rent to vacationers who love the area as much as we do. Shelly owns a real estate company in Galeton, Pine Creek Real Estate. We love all of the outdoor activities that the Pine Creek Valley has to offer. We hope to make your stay as enjoyable and comfortable as possible.

Why they chose this property

With almost one half an acre, you can enjoy the mountain views and relaxing atmosphere in side or out all year long. The full ring fire pit is available for a summertime campfire. Only a few minutes to fine dining and kayak/canoe rentals. Although we are not right on Pine Creek, it's views are right across the road.

What makes this property unique

Enjoy the peace and quiet that Sweet Spot has to offer. Take an early morning stroll on Lick Run Road right along Pine Creek. Lick Run Road is open to ATV's. There are maps at the cabin which show the trails where you can start right at the cabin and ride. We offer a cozy country cabin with wood floors and knotty pine open ceiling. The cabin is fully stocked with all of the cookware and utensils that you will need for a few night's stay.
