Hot tub in the Forest -Your own stargazing field under the Milky Way - Firepit

✨ Blue Skies Lodge – A Private Stargazing Escape for Couples, Families & Friends

Imagine this: you step out onto your deck on a crisp, clear night, the cool air tingling on your skin. Above you, the Milky Way pours across the sky in a dazzling river of light. There’s no traffic noise, no city glare—just the whisper of the wind through the trees and the quiet crackle of the firepit. This is Blue Skies Lodge, your own 55-acre retreat where the stars feel close enough to touch.

Whether you’re planning a romantic escape with someone special, a fun-filled getaway with friends, or a memory-making adventure with family, this cabin offers the perfect mix of comfort, privacy, and wonder. With your exclusive 10-acre stargazing field, you can lay back in the grass or soak in the hot tub while constellations wheel overhead and shooting stars streak across the sky.

Inside, you’ll find a welcoming space that feels like home from the moment you walk in. The fully equipped kitchen invites shared meals—pancake breakfasts, grilled dinners, hot chocolate after a night under the stars. The cabin sleeps up to 6 comfortably, with fresh linens, fluffy towels, and thoughtful touches throughout.

By day, Potter County opens up like a storybook. Just minutes away is Cherry Springs State Park, the gold standard for dark sky viewing in the U.S.—but you won’t even need to leave the property to see the same brilliant display. Explore nearby wonders like the PA Grand Canyon, Kinzua Bridge Skywalk, the historic Austin Dam, and the majestic Pennsylvania Elk Herd. Bring your camera—these are moments worth capturing.

Gather your loved ones around the firepit for s’mores and laughter. Wander the trails hand-in-hand. Watch your children’s faces light up as they spot their first shooting star. Share a glass of wine in the hot tub while the night sky unfolds above you. These are the moments that stay with you long after the trip ends.

📅 2-night stays welcome (occasional single nights—just ask).
🌌 Stay where the stars truly shine—don’t settle for cabins far from the magic.

Blue Skies Lodge isn’t just a place to stay—it’s a place to reconnect, to slow down, and to remember how beautiful the world can be when you step away from the noise and look up.

This is what I call getting away. My family had a great week from early morning hot tub soaks to family feuds over playing Uno and Monopoly! We only got one clear night in the star gazing field and the moon was a bit to bright but it was still beautiful. The property is clean and well stocked with just about everything you could need! We will definitely be back!

Perfect get-away cabin

What a gem! The house is extremely well kept, clean, and full of activities. There's board games, books, and a whole astronomy section, including binoculars!We were here for a quick getaway, with hopes of seeing the planetary parade from the stargazing field. We got lucky, and Mother Nature cleared the skies for a few hours. Absolutely amazing!The host, Chris, was friendly and full of great advice. This was our first VRBO experience: it won't be our last. Thanks so much!

Host is awesome

This is the second property I have stayed at that Chris hosts. He is a great host and the properties are amazing. If you want to find a place to stay and just relax and enjoy the beautiful dark skies his properties are fantastic. They are also close enough to enjoy what Potter County has to offer in the form of outdoor recreation. Looking forward to returning to the area.

What a beautiful place!

The house is awesome, with so many nice little homey touches like the coffee bar, that made us feel really welcome. We loved stargazing in the field and hiking the trails on the property. We were there for our anniversary and I wish we could have stayed longer, but it was the perfect place for us to get away from everything. Chris was really super helpful with his communication. I hope we can come back soon!

Perfect peaceful getaway

This is a very private property with lovely, cozy accommodations. Even though the super moon made Star-gazing less than ideal, we could not have had a better long weekend in this wonderful place. Chris was a wonderful host - excellent communications and check in was seamless. We had everything needed to cook and the beds were super comfy. And the hot tub!!! Awesome! Thank you for sharing your incredible property with us; it brought us a lot of happiness!

Beautiful cabin and skies!

It was good to spend some time in the woods and get away from our electronics for a few days. The cabin was great and supplied everything you might need (it was nice to not have to worry about packing bedding, towels, kitchen tools, etc.). And, the skies were just incredible. We had a very relaxing trip and thoroughly enjoyed our stay. We definitely plan on returning some day!

A great place to unwind

My family and I had a weekend getaway here. We enjoyed the house, the board games, and exploring the property. If you’re in need of some relaxation and quiet this is a great place to do it. The driveway is very long, just keep going, you’ll get there. The Austin dam is minutes down the road, the Potter County Pub is 10 minute drive and a great place for food and drinks.

Quiet and Secluded

The accommodations were very comfortable. While the surroundings were quiet and secluded, the small towns of northern PA were close by and we could enjoy shopping and dining there without spending all day driving around. The firepit and stargazing field were great. One word of advice: if you're really there to see the stars, be sure to schedule to be there during the new moon.

Best getaway experience

We got to see an insane amount of stars, relax, cook out, and have fires without seeing another person the entire stay. The location of this cabin is unreal. The pictures truly don’t do this place justice. It’s beautiful and a great getaway for the family. Super easy to get in touch with management as well! We had a great time and we will be back.

We loved this cabin. It was a rainy weekend but there were so many things to discover in the cabin! We played board games and foosball. Then we took a quick hour drive to Benezette to see elk. The kids couldn’t wait to get back to the cabin. Thanks Chris

Absolutely loved it

This place is even better than the reviews suggest. It’s on an absolutely beautiful piece of property with miles of trails. The stargazing field was perfect for yard games in the afternoons and spreading out a blanket to look at stars at night. It’s definitely rural, but we brought lots of food and drinks and hunkered down and just had the most perfect stay. It has everything you would need for a stay and was very clean and comfortable. Highly recommend!
