Cassio’s Cottage - A private, cozy little place under PoCo’s dark skies

Take a break from the noise in this comfy, clean and quiet cottage! An old hunting camp turned family retreat, but great for couples or even just a get away for one. People love its peaceful location, with very few neighbors, but also that it’s easy to get to and centrally located. Potter County Stargazing Tours is just a minute drive down the road, the Golf Club is 7 minutes away with Gary's Mini Golf/Zip Line and Jiffy Pup just down the road from there. Drive 10 minutes to downtown Coudy for shopping, dinner, a movie, or swimming at the town pool. It’s about 15 minutes to Patterson and Cherry Springs State Parks, 30 to both Sizerville and Lyman Run, an hour to both PA Grand Canyon and Kinzua Bridge or stay local and take the kids to either Mitchell Park or C.A.R.P. If you plan to ride, the ATV/snowmobile trail is right at the end of the driveway (see last two photos). It's a great area to cross country ski in winter as well. If you venture out all day, get toasty around the fire pit at night, sit in the Adirondack chairs or lay back in one of the “antigravity” recliners to look up and marvel at the Milky Way!

The space is not too big, not too small…perfect for feeling “together” on your getaway, but still have some space to yourself. It’s on 6.7 acres of land that you’re welcome to explore if you’d like. Outside you can play football, tetherball, volleyball, badminton, croquet or wiffleball and we just added a Nok Hockey board (IYKYK). There are also lots of games to play indoors, as well as puzzles and books for all ages and a Roku TV with free movies and apps to sign in on. The kitchen is fully stocked with anything you need to cook and prep food. The fridge will be clean and (mostly) empty for you to fill with whatever groceries you want to bring.
There are two security cameras directed at the screen door and driveway to notify us of trespassers when the cottage is not booked and to let us know when/if guests arrive. While you're there, we turn all notifications off.

STARGAZERS: Be mindful of the moon phase. If it's full, the stars will seem faint. There is a window of time (a week or more) before and after the new moon when the skies are darkest. If you're not sure, just send me a message and I'll let you know if your dates are a good time to go.

TRAIL RIDERS and HUNTERS: Those full moon nights are great for booking a stay and the rates are sometimes a little less than during a new moon window.

ATTENTION ONE NIGHT REQUESTS: If interested in booking just one night, check availability using a two night search and please send a message…depending on what night it is, we may be able to accommodate you!
