Pros:

I went up north to see the PA grand canyon, and I stayed at the Maple Cabin and it was perfect for just me. It was clean, comfortable, had everything I needed to stay for the weekend. I wish I could have stayed longer! The cabin was off of a main highway, which was convenient, had nice amenities, beautiful views, a patio with chairs and a swing. There are fire pits outside you could burn wood in and a river/stream basically in the back yard. Bed was clean and comfortable and I'm picky with the firmness of beds, and this one was just right. Not too soft, and not firm. I didn't watch any TV, but I definitely enjoyed my first night there by the gas fireplace. I would definitely stay here again. ⁵

We really enjoyed our stay and three nights would’ve been better . Weather was perfect !
Pros:

Perfect location to hiking and Wellsboro .
Clean surrounding , like the hammocks, new game room and seating areas around the property .

Cons:

An 11:00/11:30 check out would nice - if you felt like taking a morning hike or not feeling like you’re rushing your morning .

A comfortable, clean place to stay while visiting the area
Pros:

The room and whole facility was very clean and in great condition. The grounds were very well maintained. While we did not see any staff in person, they promptly answered text messages.

Cons:

We had trouble with the TV. We couldn’t connect to any of our streaming services or screencast from our devices.

Хороший чистый номер. Но шумно из за дороги. Очень уютная и приятная обстановка.
Pros:

Было очень чисто.

Cons:

Так как свит 7 находился рядом с дорогой, было очень шумно из за дороги.

Real great
Pros:

great atmosphere, decor, comfortable bed, great shower

Cons:

Didn’t like how confusing it was to find our cabin in the campground. I wish there were clear signs to where the cabins 8,9,10 were in fact across the street. But I called and customer service helped right away!

Sorprendete, speciale, da non perdere.
Pros:

Passiamo di qua lungo la nostra strada tra New York e Chicago lungo la bellissima route 6. Ci imbattiamo per caso in questo posto bellissimo, con ampie cabine di legno ben arredate, ariose, con balcone che da sul prato dove passeggiano le oche e i cervi e poi sul fiume. Un posto assolutamente bellissimo e con un ottimo rapporto qualità prezzo. Semplicemente meraviglioso.

Cons:

Nulla!
