UNFORGETTABLE TIMES...500+ ACRES, 3/4 MILE ON PINE CREEK!

A DREAM FOR THOSE WHO ENJOY NATURE AND WILDLIFE ALONG WITH THE WARM PEACE OF AN EVENING FIRESIDE! Stroll along an old railroad bed beside a babbling and pristine trout stream running along breathtaking mountain views. A one-of-a-kind property with more than 500 private acres containing many hillside trails for your exclusive enjoyment--many options for hiking, horseback riding and cross-country skiing or just wandering and wondering.

The flat open areas around the cabin and our full-size barn offer a variety of sites for your private events including weddings, reunions and corporate retreats. Horse stalls are available with both outside and inside shelter. And to get even further away, an extensive variety of open and wooded trails meander across and over the mountain for many miles. And we are just up the road from the north entrance to the Pennsylvania Grand Canyon!

Sunsets bring on a sort of magnetism to our unmatched fire pit where many flames of debate have settled the differences of the past among friends. Of course, there is always another matter called to order for the next evening, or of course you can simply lean back, unwind, and find your answers in the stars...of which there are many! Very far from any neighbors, only the trees will hear your singing and tales, and they will pass along only a few whispers....

Inside the cabin, enjoy extensive hand-crafted woodwork and construction hewn from timbers on the property. Relax in front of a unique and inviting stone fireplace built from stones gathered from the property and surrounded by floor to ceiling windows. The fireplace rises from the center of the room with a cylindrical stack stretching up a two-story atrium and alongside a rustic spiral timber staircase. You won't want to leave this cabin...!

(Doors to the cabin and some out-buildings are monitored by exterior security cameras for protection of both you and us.)

(Make sure you are aware of advance notice requirement and fees for linens & towels, pets, total guests more than 10 or extra room.)

Picturesque
The property is beautiful, many trails to be walked and the landscape is beautiful and a sight to behold. The house was beautiful and had everything you’d need to relax. Fire pit was huge and we enjoyed many nights around it. Close to many state parks and although weather was not cooperating much we did enjoy visiting the PA Grand Canyon!! Our last night we did see some stars but on a clear night I’m sure it would be spectacular! Our only down side was the circular staircase but there was a second set of steps outside that were easier to navigate. Thank you for sharing your home with us!

Fun in the countryside.
We had a peaceful family time near to Wellsboro and PA Grand Canyon. From watching the deer munch on apples to hiking, this place has a lot of charm. The octagonal house was unique and comfortable for a large group. The host was available to talk with.

Unique cabin in the woods
We absolutely loved our stay. This was our second time back on the property and it was beautiful to see all the upgrades they’ve been working on! The outdoor space is great- a short walk to the creek which was hours of fun for adults and kids alike, plenty of grass for kids to run and play or play a volleyball game, horeshoes or exploring in the woods. The place was clean and had ample kitchen supplies on hand. I would definitely recommend this place for a unique and great vacation experience.

500 acres of outdoor adventure
Unforgettable offers a wide verity of outdoor adventure in one location … Our gang did it all … hiking, biking, fishing, tubing and ATV trail rides, There is also plenty of mowed grass for wiffleball, football and volleyball. All that followed by a great fire ring where we told tales about the “chainsaw ghost” of Gains Township (bring your own sound effects). The house was well equipped with a rustic touch that made the farm experience seem even more authentic. The game room was a hit, especially during a couple rainy evenings.

Excellent Property. Excellent Logistics-very close to PA Grand Canyon and fishing Darling Run. Property was in excellent shape and offered the group the most relaxing and tranquil stay. Joe provided open communication throughout the process and was an excellent host! We have stayed in other lodges but the “Octagon” by far has been one of our best stays!!!

Great Spot for a Family Get-Together
This Pine Creek cabin was perfect for our family weekend: unique architecture, a beautiful setting, and plenty of room for all of us to spread out. Convenient to the Pine Creek Rail Trail -- a beautiful spot for our bike ride -- and to the local bike rental. Not too far from downtown Wellsboro. The house itself was well-equipped, clean and comfortable. Thanks for a great stay!

Amazing property
This property was excellent for our large group of fisherman. The owner communicated woth us whenever we needed anything. Cabin is absolutely beautiful. The cabin is going through some renavations on the outside, and luckily we brought a truck load of fire wood for the fire pit because there was none there but we knew that could be a possibility. If your looking for wildlife there was plenty between turkey, deer and coyotes. Are group is looking forward to booking again next year.

Wonderful property.
This property provided a wonderful opportunity to gather with family and friends for the weekend. The unique architecture and space allowed for great fireside talks and meals in the open dining/living area. As advertised the sleeping space is ample and our group was very comfortable and able to spread out after a long weekend hiking the laurels and ridges in Potter county. Looking forward to coming back next year!

Return to Pine Creek and mountain views
To say this was our fourth consecutive stay at the Octagon is the easiest endorsement I can give to the amazing cabin, property, and hospitality of Joe and Maitland. The mountain trails, peaceful flow of the Pine Creek, generously sized fire pit, and ample cabin space make this an excellent location for our combined family and friends trip each Autumn. A short drive from the historic county seat in Wellsboro, the property is a welcome retreat for us each year - we are already planning our return in 2024.

Nice rustic cabin
We enjoyed our stay. The grounds were well maintained, area is beautiful. The game room has some issues, couches in main cabin need some serious TLC, and the main staircase needs to be redesigned (external staircase is a workaround, but that cannot the primary means of reaching upper floor.). Kitchen works well enough, bathrooms were clean and ac works great.

Family Vacation
The house was nice. Didn't like the fact that the upstairs bathrooms were open above the doors. The portable air conditioners that are upstairs only one of them was working so it was hot up there. It says remote location but there is a house right at the end of the driveway that looks directly onto the house and property. While we were there they came to mow the grass. That should have been scheduled when no one was renting the house. We had to move everything out of the yard so he could mow.

Early season family getaway
The property is beautiful but the house overall could use some TLC. It was wonderful having wood on the property to use in the fire pit. The game room was a bit musty. The Kuerig coffee pot did not work. Most of the dishes needed to be washed before using. Overall we enjoyed our stay. It is a short distance to the bike trail which is very convenient.

Multi-generation family getaway
Four generations of our came together for a family celebration and had a fantastic time! As stated in other reviews, the stairway inside the cabin is not easily maneuvered, but the outside stairway to the second floor provided an easy solution to accessing the bedroom level. The property provides access to a beautiful stream, and we enjoyed hours of fishing at the pond and sitting around a fire at the enormous fire pit.

The cabin has a lovely center fireplace. It is very much set up for a family, as there are no ceilings on the circular upper level. We stayed during cold spell & there is no heat in the upstairs bathrooms! Otherwise we enjoyed our time & the views of the creek are very soothing.
