Our family loved our time at this house. It was spacious, beautiful, and a great location. Would highly recommend staying here as the amenities were top notch. We could not have picked a better place to stay in Cherry Springs.
Truly a wonderful property for a weekend getaway. Well maintained with a responsive host. Nice to be able to wander around the lake and nearby forest during the day and relax on the patio or at the fire pit under the stars at night.
This property was very comfortable and homey, and the amenities were as described. The view was fantastic and in a very peaceful setting. The location was perfect, very easy to get into town. I would highly recommend this property if youre looking to get away from the hustle and bustle!
We had a wonderful time at this cabin. It was very clean, comfortable and well supplied. The hosts were great at communication, and made sure we had everything we needed! We definitely hope to come back in the future.
This place was perfect! Loved everything about it. The lake, the view, the house was beautiful! And the host were amazing. I would definitely recommend this place to everyone.
Our group stays here twice per year & it is a beautiful property, comfortable cabin, and the owners are a pleasure to work with! There's no place like The A Frame!
Absolutely stunning home and property. Most well stocked, well appointed, and cleanest rental we've ever stayed in. Owners thought of absolutely everything! We loved lounging on the deck, watching the night sky from the hammocks, and enjoyed smores around the fire pit. A true gem!
My wife and I stayed at this place for a week and it was amazing. My sister and niece came for the weekend and we all loved the property. We did some fishing on the pond and we caught a bunch of fish. We brought our to dogs that loved to explore the property. Would absolutely stay at this property again.
It was wonderful!!!! Felt like we lived there so comfortable and quiet so welcoming as soon as you entered the door. Host was very accommodating to our emails and request very pleasant felt like I knew her !!! Just a short distance from cherry springs state park, but honestly the stars from the deck were spectacular.!!!! Love Love Loved it here !!!!! Can feed the fish in the pond too they provide food..so fun !! I could keep going and going Great Place !!!!
The home and location are beautiful! Very well kept and clean house. Beautiful views! This is a wonderful property to vacation at, it is exactly as listed. The owners are very helpful and quick to respond, friendly people :). We would love to stay there again. I have no complaints whatsoever. You'll love it!
My family and I had a wonderful time! The house had everything that we needed and the large, wrap-around deck was perfect for stargazing! Our kids enjoyed playing outside and loved fishing in the pond. We had such a nice time that we are planning on returning next summer :)
The A-Frame was in the perfect setting overlooking a lake/pond and the hills of the PA Wild. The terrace made it very comfortable and convenient to view the stars at night. There were many things to enjoy on the property and all the many sightseeing were within an hour away. Good location overall and very comfortable and clean. Our stay was nothing but positive and memorable.
The house was clean and well stocked with everything we needed for our family of 4. The location was great being only 10 minutes from Coudersport while still feeling like we were in a nice rural area. We were comfortable and had a great time hanging out at the house not doing much and fishing at the pond. We might need to come back again!
I am losing count of the number of times we have stayed at this beautiful house! The ability to enjoy the beauty of this area in a house with any amenity you may need is incredible! The stars did not disappoint- and our views from the deck were superior to traveling to the park. The owners have thought of everything you may need! You will not be disappointed!! We will be back - already booked for 2025!
The house was the perfect home base for a trip to the Coudersport area. It was welcoming, well-equipped, a great location, and comfortable. The stars were incredible. My kids loved feeding the fish in the small lake. The owners were friendly and helpful in all communications.
From this house, we were within an hour from many fun and memorable locations. We would recommend this stay to family and friends.
This home is very cozy. The deck is a great place to sit, relax and look at the stars. The kitchen is well equipped. The owners are easy to communicate with and answered questions promptly. We were welcomed with a bottle of wine which was a nice touch. One thing, make sure you bring all the food/drinks you’ll need as this property isn’t close to many things. Sheetz, Dollar General, McDonalds, nearby.
This place is absolutely where you need to come and get away from it all. Noelle thought of everything to make our stay comfortable. The night sky? Come and see for yourself. Magical! We will be back to experience the different seasons.
We had a wonderful time! The house is bright and welcoming, with surprises galore! The hosts have thought of everything to make for a wonderful time away.
Perfectly clear skies the first two nights. We enjoyed the view from the deck. As a bonus, the Starlink Satelite Train made an appearance the second night and streamed across the sky to our astonishment and delight.
I highly recommend this vacation home to anyone who enjoys nature and prefers top notch creature comforts as well!

This place was beautiful, incredibly welcoming, comfortable, spacious, and brilliantly decorated. The hosts responded to the few questions I had quickly. The highlight of the trip, the night sky, was absolutely gorgeous.
The cabin itself is an experience too! The notes left behind in journals by other visitors to the cabin were beautiful to read.
Truth be told it was an absolute perfect retreat for my friends to get away from the city and into nature. Without a doubt I'll be coming here in the future, when the weather is a bit warmer! :)
Do you need to relax?
If so, you definitely need to go to the A-frame!
This house has everything you need to relax and rewind in a beautiful setting. The pond is stocked with fish, and my husband had a wonderful time catching and releasing fish all day! At night there are about 1 million stars and it’s breathtaking.
The house was extremely well stocked, and the owners have thought of everything! Just a wonderful place and we hope to come back someday.
We had an incredible stay at this property. Star viewing was amazing. Views are beautiful. This house is not your cookie cutter, bland “run by a corporation”property. It is a cozy home in an amazing location! We loved the oversized super comfy couch and the game area. Deck is gigantic!
Noelle was super easy to work with, very responsive and allowed us to check out an hour later than scheduled. Our family made lifetime memories here and we hope to return again in the future. Total relaxation!! Thank you Noelle and Jonathan for sharing your property with us!
My family had a wonderful time. It was inviting and well equipped with everything you would ever need.
My kids enjoyed the hammock and feeding the fish in the pond. We got to see deer, a bald eagle and a bull frog.
I loved the wrap around porch but also loved the basement area. It’s almost like you forget where you are where it’s nice and cozy.
We were fortunate to have a night of stars and see the Milky Way.
It was easy to get a hold of the hosts.
If you’re looking to stay here, just do it. You won’t regret it.
