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

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.

What an amazing place! The kids loved it and we all had a great time around the fire. FYI, if it's warm outside, talk around the fire from the chairs, but if it's cool outside, the giant fire pit is actually a warm seat and a small fire will be all you need.The creek was a bit low in late August, but still beautiful, and the surrounding grounds were spacious to be sure. The pond is very nice, and though we didn't catch any fish, a very large one did bend the rod almost in half. The location is near the PA grand canyon and most other area attractions - no shortage of hiking opportunities.The fireplace inside was wonderful and kept the house perfectly warm on cool nights. Be prepared for some confusion when walking around upstairs since there is a lot of symmetry, but this is more entertainment than anything.The kids were over in the game room most of the time playing pool or foosball, leaving the adults with unexpected relaxation. There's a TV in there as well, but it barely got turned on. The only slight complaint is that route 6 is not terribly far away on the far side of the river, but it's almost dead after 6 or 7 pm, which is when we were most likely to be at the fire pit anyway. Overall, it was a great experience. Thank you to our hosts!!

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.

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.

We had a wonderful time during our stay! The Octagon was clean and spacious! This was the perfect home to relax and unwind! We enjoyed the game room. We had great star viewing each night on the deck. The large fire pit was perfect for s’mores! We enjoyed exploring the land; checking out the creek, trails, and pond area. Joe was very responsive with any questions we had leading up to our stay. Just a couple notes and why we didn’t give 5 stars- the rooms were a little less private due to gaps from where the top of the door meets the ceiling. There is no place to store clothing in the bedrooms. Some of the appliances were usable but could use some updating. Also, be careful when showering that no one flushes a toilet in the house- we discovered this stops the shower water and then it turns very hot. The trails were pretty overgrown so we didn’t go very far on the ones we tried to explore.

Nice propoerty, but would have liked to know construction was going on. There was unfinished stone and the steps had no railing which made them unsafe

Clean - accommodations bedrooms were great, kitchen was very well stocked for the meals we needed to prepare.The house was so unique we were impressed by the amount of room we actually had.The bonus game room was a nice added feature.The best feature was the outside - trails for exploring, creek for fishing, and of course the fire pit.I think the only time we used the tv was to watch the Steelers play.This was truly a remarkable adventure.

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.

The Octagon was a great venue for a Memorial Day Weekend trip of eight life-long friends. Our 47th year! The house was perfect sized and offering room to hang out inside as well as outside by the fire pit. We cooked three dinners and found the kitchen perfect for our needs. Very secluded and no fear of disturbing neighbors with music or yelling during horseshoes matches. The Tioga Golf Club was just minutes down the road and the bike trip down the Pine Creek Canyon was easy but beautiful. A great place.

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.

Stayed for the 4th of July weekend with 8 people and had more than enough space in the house for all of us. The place was clean when we got there, and everything was great for a weekend away from it all

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!

Very convenient check-in/out process. The cabin was spacious and clean on an amazing piece of land. Beautiful views. Very relaxing trip. Cabin was equipped with everything we needed. We would definitely rent again!

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 place for handling a good size group. Spectacular scenery, very remote, peaceful.

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.

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.

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!

Great property and sensational owner communication!!!

Wonderful long weekend with the family. Everything was super easy from check in to check out. Beautiful location with only a short drive to the local sites. It was a wonderful place to celebrate my husband's 60th birthday with oir kids and grandkids.

Our family made some great lasting memories here. We all had such a great time. This was a really unique rental with many amenities. Between the game room and the property itself there was always something to do. Joe was easy to work with and responded to all my questions in a timely manner. He was very friendly and you could tell he genuinely wanted our family to have an enjoyable trip. Our family is looking forward to coming back again in the future.

The farm is very private & our family enjoyed fishing in the pond & creek. We were visited daily by deer grazing in the corn field. Our family had a 5, 6, 8 & 2 year olds. The steps going up to the bedrooms are a bit challenging, all the grands except the 2 year old could use them. The outside steps were often used. The owner was easy to contact & very gracious in allowing us an extended stay due to car problems. Rebooking in the future is a strong possibility, may need to skip a year since an infant will be added in Sept.

Truly amazing unconventional wooden cabin! We, a group of 8 stayed comfortably in the estate. We enjoyed so much the scenery in the morning, with the deer and landscape in front of us.Hope we will come back again next year, and spend a few more nights!Joe has been very responsive to our questions.Thanks a lot! 谢谢！Julie

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.

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!

Great location really close to the PA grand canyon. Well maintained property perfect for anyone. We really enjoyed our weekend here!

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.
