About this property

A-frame between State Route 6 and Pine Creek; 1 mile east of Gaines.

Kick back, relax, and enjoy the outdoors!
Guests are sure to enjoy a memorable vacation in this cozy, one bedroom, A-Frame that allows you to enjoy all this area has to offer. Potter County (God's Country) with Cherry Springs State Park ...dark skies program...and Tioga County with the Pa. Gand Canyon; Wellsboro, the Currier and Ives town, that has been voted one of the prettiest small town in the United States, Pine Creek Gorge, plus hundreds of miles of the ATV Pilot Trail that covers both counties. This area was named as the Pennsylvania Wilds by Governor Wolfe and it is absolutely gorgeous.

At the A-Frame, enjoy a picnic lunch on the deck, wander down to beautiful Pine Creek, a high quality, stocked, fishing stream, walk along the creek trail that is mowed. You can fish, enjoy sitting on a bench or your lawn chair, but be sure to watch for a beautiful bald eagle which frequents the creek daily. Watch for deer, bear, as well as the abundant squirrels and chipmunks in the area. Make you own bonfire (firewood provided), and roast a hot dog or marshmallow. Enjoy your time but we really believe you'll love your visit to the Pine Creek A-Frame. Everything is here for a romantic or quiet getaway in this cozy A-Frame.

The bedroom has been updated with a queen bed and new bedding.

The A-frame was very clean and very quite. Very peaceful place to stay and relax. There was a couple of restaurants that was closed by and had good food. I highly recommend it and we would definitely come back.

I used to hunt/fish/hike in this area with my Dad as a child. It's been over 20 years since I've been up this way so my wife and I decided to check out my old stomping grounds. The property is lovely and well maintained. The A Frame is exactly what we expected. Its small but very cozy. The location is great because you are not far from Wellsboro or Galeton if you need supplies. We had a wonderful stay and got to see alot of wildlife which is always a plus. Pine Creek was a bit low but there's so much area to explore that we managed to find a few deeper holes and catch some fish. Overall, a great long weekend in a beautiful spot that we both hope to visit again.

Great Grounds

Loved the grounds of this property. The AFrame was so cute, and loved the land with ponds and creek. My geologist husband was excited about all the fossils found in the rocks by the creek. The small downside was the size of the shower as the A Frame design makes it hard to fit comfortably...but we made it work.

Lovely cabin

The cabin is wonderful for a couple, very clean and well-appointed. The access to Pine Creek is great. Very nice, comfortable stay and very close to the PA Grand Canyon and Wellsboro. Technically it overlooks Pine Creek, but that is a bit misleading. However, we very much enjoyed our stay!

Cutest little A-frame

Clean, well-stocked A-frame. Unfortunately it rained most of the long weekend we were there but A-frame was cozy to sit with coffee and chatty and watch the rain and wildlife through the big windows.

Wonderful stay, super close to state forests and parks!!

We adored the property the A-frame is on. It’s a very short walk down the hill to the creek in the photos. The stars were so clear and gorgeous at night. We went to Colton point for hiking and riding bikes, which was incredibly beautiful! The A-frame is so cute and cozy and we had everything we needed. Will absolutely be returning!

Quaint but not what we had in mind.

This A Frame is a little misleading. It seems like you will be closer to creek but it is a quarter mile walk to get to. Also the oweners are on the property about 100 yards away and youre right next to a storage unit. We thought we'd be isolated. Other than that it was a cute small A-Frame. Also pretty huge thing is the shower is terrible if youre over 5 ft tall. You have to hunch over. Major design flaw.

Vacation

It has been quite a few ywaes since we had been up in Potter. My dad belonged to a hunting camp and sold it quite a few yeas back. We wanted to go back up see the fireworks in Galeton. ATV trails are really nice up around Ski Denton. We were quite surprised witth how nice the Lumber Museum was.

Creek side getaway

So happy to have found this property. Celebrated my second anniversary with my wife and 9 month old daughter her in late March. The property and nature scape was gorgeous, was able to walk along pine creek right after breakfast. Only 15 minutes to get in wellsboro which was beautiful. And only an 8 minute drive to the west rim trail of the PA Grand Canyon. Loved it. The cottage was so cozy and it was so nice to spend a rainy Saturday evening inside and watch the weather through the beautiful glass doors and big windows.

A frame

Very nice, comfortable place. I thought the photo of the creek that was on the listing was the view from the cabin, so that was a bit misleading. The wi fi was hit or miss, mostly a miss, I was informed that an extender was on the way, so that will probably not be an issue any longer. The road noise was a bit problematic. Overall I would definitely stay again.

Two night stay in early October

Great for one person. Convenient to parks and pine creek. Shower very difficult to use especially if tall due to angled wall. Bed size best suited to one person and located up the spiral staircase which may be tricky to access if a person has mobility issues. Can’t see creek from cabin. Nice fire pit area with firewood. Easy check in. Kitchen stocked with dishware, utensils, pots and pans. Good WiFi but and AT&T cell service was okay.

What makes this property unique

32 acres of peaceful property bordered by Pine Creek on the south and Shin Hollow on the east, a pond on the property and open and wooded lands gives you a lot of property to roam around and enjoy the peace of the area. Night skies provide beautiful views of the stars and planets. Children can fish the pond...they are pretty sure to catch a fish.
