Hi, we’re Josh and Laurie! We’re thrilled you’ve chosen one of our favorite places to stay. After spending weeks enjoying the solitude, scenery, and wildlife at our properties, we wanted to share our experiences with others. We love travel, the outdoors, and activities like hiking, fishing, and skiing. Make yourself at home—we’re so glad you’re here!

My husband and I visited for our anniversary and had a wonderful time. So peaceful and beautiful. Plenty to do regardless of weather. You can tell the host really considered what would make people feel comfortable and at home. We appreciated the guidebook and instructions left around the cabin. The cabin and property were immaculately clean, and there was A/C in every bedroom.

This property was spectacular in every way. The house had a very nice kitchen that easily accommodated our family of 9. The beds were very comfortable – including the sleeper sofa! The game room was fun for our teenagers as well as adults. We enjoyed taking our dogs for walks to the top of the hill and the field at the top had a stunning panoramic view. Josh is quick to respond and is so pleasant to communicate with. We hated to leave and look forward to returning in the future.

Beautiful and private property located in an even more beautiful PA countryside. The cabin had so many features, and felt so cozy. The backyard and field were great for stargazing! Would definitely go back to this cabin again. Worth every penny.
Our family totally enjoyed the house and property. We loved sitting on the front porch enjoying the breeze and around the fire pit relaxing. The game room was another nice area to gather and have fun. Thank you Josh for being such a great host. We appreciated everything.

We had a wonderful stay at Great Bear Cabin! Absolutely perfect for our family. Cozy and homey, but very spacious! The views from up the hill are wonderful! The weather kept us from most of our outdoor plans, but we didn’t even mind because we had so much fun just hanging out in the cabin! We all loved the game room!! The cabin was perfectly clean, private and quiet… I can’t say enough about how much we loved it! Already looking forward to coming back next summer!!

We loved our stay at the great bear cabin, the place is beautiful! The cabin was extremely clean and well organized, everything labeled. Big, well stocked kitchen as well! Very happy that it was dog friendly. Owner was very responsive which was helpful!

A lovely place to relax — quiet and secluded. The cabin itself is stylish, cozy, and very comfortable, with many thoughtful touches throughout. The kitchen is fully equipped, which makes cooking especially convenient. The firepit area is beautiful, and you can often spot wildlife around the property. Special thanks to the host — communication was fast, informative, and truly pleasant.

We needed a few days away from the our busy lives and this place was perfect. It excided our expectations of this rental. My 8 year old daughter described it as very homey and fun. There was so much to do in the house to allows us to spend quality family time together. We were able to see amazing stars right from this property. would definitely come back here again.

Beautiful cabin that was recently renovated. We have stayed here in the past and had a great experience! Josh has thought of everything! Very clean and comfortable space.

What can I say! This is our second year spending the week at Josh‘s cabin for a fishing trip. The location is perfect for where we need to fish. And the accommodations are outstanding. So peaceful and quiet. We will be returning every year. Can’t thank Josh enough.
Great weekend, unfortunately it rained so we weren’t able to see any stars or enjoy nature but had a lot of fun grilling and relaxing in the hot tub with friends. Property was beautiful.

We loved our stay at Josh's place in Coudersport! Check-in was super easy, and the cabin was spotless and looked exactly like the photos. All amenities that you could need were provided, even dog toys and treats. We loved relaxing in the large backyard and on the porch, hiking up the hill to the field, birdwatching, and checking out the night skies during a new moon! I would definitely stay at Josh's place again and recommend it to my friends!

I'm struggling to find words - the time with my family and kids was beautiful. The cabin was breathtaking and the views at dawn and dusk were indescribable, the cabin's details were amazing, like the picture or better!!!! Thank you so much, and God bless you. 100/10 🤩

We had a great time at the cabin! Something for all my family members to do. Ages 10 to 70. Highly recommend!

We had a great time at the cabin. Kids were busy the whole time. We enjoy the beautiful yard with a fire. And the Hot tub was awesome.

We absolutely loved our stay at this cabin! It’s the perfect spot to rally friends and family. The open layout and great flow between the kitchen, dining, and living spaces make it easy for everyone to be together without feeling cramped or sectioned off from one another. The decor is tasteful and cozy, with rustic charm and modern comfort. The beds and pillows are also very comfortable. The finished basement living area is an awesome space for entertaining! Plenty of room for games, lounging, and just hanging out into the evening. It really added an extra layer of fun to our stay. I highly recommend this cabin if you’re looking for a beautiful, well-thought-out place to make memories with the people you love. Josh is a great host and has thought of every thing. We will be back again!

Loved the stay! Went here for a big girls trip and it was a blast. We loved the peaceful cabin, saw the stars & enjoyed making smores over the camp fire!

This is the second year that we have stayed at this beautiful log cabin in Coudersport, and again our stay was perfect for our family of seven! This year Josh added a huge game room in the basement /garage that is accessible from the house via steps or from an outside door with a keypad. The game room is beautifully done and has something for everyone; three different video games, a pool table, a shuffleboard table, a dart board, and several other games, as well as a big screen tv and comfortable seating with places to sit your beverages at every game. It was perfect to entertain our 3 grown grandsons as well as the rest of us during downtime and on the one rain day that we had during our stay. During our stay we were able to enjoy a picnic at Lyman Lake, a visit to the Austin Dam, and a day at Gary's Putter Golf. Josh is a wonderful host and is very responsive; he has the rules (which are few) clearly posted and makes everything easy and comfortable for his guest and their pets
