About this house rental
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.

The house was big and beautiful with excellent views of the mountain range, even just from the windows. It is located in a central location to every activity we planned to do. In particular, we went to stargaze at Cherry Springs State Park. It is only a 12 minute drive to the park from the house. The house had plenty of furniture and entertainment. The beds were comfortable and there were plenty of pillows and blankets for our crew.

Perfect experience! The chalet is wonderful and Ben and Thanh are excellent hosts. We had a minor glitch with the lock at check-in and Ben was easy to reach and resolved it immediately. The home is beautiful, clean, and comfortable. We relaxed by the fire, grilled, stargazed, visited the PA Grand Canyon, and explored Wellsboro. Views are great and the chalet is filled with games and movies if you decide to just stay in. We left our kids with grandparents for a weekend getaway, but they would have loved it as well. Highly recommend!

We had a wonderful time staying at Ben and Thanh’s place. Very secluded and very close to Cherry Hill State Park. While the park provided the best stargazing, we could still see so much right from our deck! The house was warm and welcoming and provided everything we needed. We will definitely be back. Thank you so much!

I was disappointed in our stay. The photos make it look as if you are in a quiet serene secluded location. You overlook two properties watching your neighbor mow. There wasn't a place for a comfortable outside fire- had to set in the driveway. We arrived a bit early with cleaning staff setting in her car and then we're scolded by the owner because she needed adequate time to clean
She was in her car and was finished. Obviously had raced through and then blamed us. We were required to contact owner upon arrival and departure. All made me feel unwelcomed. It took weeks to get the deposit fee which was enormous. Definitely not worth it!!!!
