About this house rental

Your mountain chalet is located on 3.5 acres of serene land, perched atop Yochum Hill, only 10 minutes from Cherry Springs State Park. The chalet is the perfect setting for a secluded couple getaway, family vacation with up to 9 guests, or a launch pad for a week of outdoor adventures. Thrill seekers can explore hundreds of miles of ATV and snowmobile trails directly from the property, or take a short drive to Lyman Lake, Pa Lumber Museum or the Pa Grand Grand Canyon.

THE SPACE

Your chalet is tucked into the forest atop Yockum Hill and includes 3.5 acre acres of land to explore. This includes an acre of grassy hillside for stargazing, cooking s’mores or sledding in the winter. The remainder of the property is woodland. From the chalet you may ride your ATV on all roads from Memorial Day until Labor Day, and snowmobile during the winter. There's even an attached garage with overhead doors on each end so you can drive your ATV or snowmobile in one side and pull out the other.

There is a gravel parking lot spacious enough for 6+ vehicles or trailers. The attached garage is accessible to you during your stay.

Entering from the side of the home, you will find the laundry area, and a space for coats and shoes. Next you’ll pass through the kitchen which has been fully stocked with the cookware you’ll want to keep your fellow guests well fed.

As you explore the kitchen, your attention will be drawn to the great room by the floor to ceiling stone fireplace and the majestic mountain views pouring through the ten large windows. The pellet stove is easily operated and provides a wonderful radiant heat sufficient to warm the entire first and second floor. There is no AC in the home, but there are two large ceiling fans in the great room, and three oscillating fans provided.

In the great room you’ll find an open floor plan that includes a dining table with seating for 10, a sitting room surrounding the fireplace, and an entertainment space with a 55” smart TV for streaming all your favorite shows and movies.

All of the bedrooms are located on the back half of the home where the shade of the forest will help keep you cool on those warm summer days. There is a large bedroom on the first floor with a queen bed, a large built in shelving unit for clothing and a closet. The second floor has another large bedroom with a queen bed and a third bedroom with a bunk bed setup. The bunk bed includes a full size lower bed and a single lofted bed. In the basement there is a full size mattress inside a pullout couch.

In the basement you’ll find a pool table, vintage 60’s Rockola Jukebox which plays 45s, and another seating area with a pullout couch. There’s another pellet stove to keep you comfortable and two more sliding doors giving you access to the lower deck.

I highly recommend staying at the Mountain Vista Chalet. I visited with my 2 nephews for the purpose of star gazing. Although the Mountain Vista Chalet is only a few minutes from Cherry Springs Park, the view of the stars from the Mountain Vista Chalet deck was so good that we never went to the park. The accommodations were clean, modern and spacious and views from the deck, even during the day when we weren't star gazing were awesome. The hosts, Ben and Thanh, communicated, in a timely and detailed guidebook, everything we needed for our stay. Also, we ran into an issue with our car on the check-out day (a flat tire) which delayed our check-out past the required time, and Ben and Thanh graciously allowed us the time we needed to get the tire fixed before we checked out. I highly recommend this place and if I ever come back to the area for star gazing, the Mountain Vista Chalet will be my choice for the place to stay!

The place was beautiful , BUT the no AC in July definitely took a toll on us. They CLEARLY stated that there was no AC in the house on the listing. This was not a surprise. I just assumed that with no AC the house stayed reasonably cool and wasn’t needed. That unfortunately wasn’t the case. The house was incredibly hot and we really struggled to get any Airflow through the house. I think some screens on the double sliding doors would really help with that. Given that we saw a black bear on the drive in, and there are obviously a lot of bugs in nature, we didn’t want to just leave the doors wide open with no screen. It was so hot the second night, we had to sleep in the basement on chairs and couches. It was a little rough. I really don’t like leaving negative reviews because the hosts were awesome and they really took care of the house, it was amazing! I just personally wouldn’t go back in summer for the reasons I listed above. I would absolutely, 100%, rent this house again in the fall, winter or spring. You wouldn’t even need to go to Cherry Springs, the views from the deck were breathtaking on their own!! Again, I hate to leave something “negative” about the house when the hosts so clearly put their heart and soul into it. I just also want to prepare people if they’re going there in summer. It’s no joke, that’s all. Thank you Ben for sharing your home with us and all future travelers, enjoy, the house is incredible!!

My brother and his wife stayed here last year and we visited them a few times during their stay. They had great things to say and the house was so beautiful that my boyfriend and I decided we would rent it this year. We absolutely love this place. The views are amazing during the early mornings and late at night watching the stars. The house is very clean and homey. And there is plenty on games for the kids to stay entertained. Ben was wonderful with communication and very easy to get in touch with. If I could recommend this place to everyone I would! We will be back again! Thank you Ben for having us!

I was disappointed in our stay. The photos make it look as if you are in a quiet serene secluded location. You overlook two properties watching your neighbor mow. There wasn't a place for a comfortable outside fire- had to set in the driveway. We arrived a bit early with cleaning staff setting in her car and then we're scolded by the owner because she needed adequate time to clean She was in her car and was finished. Obviously had raced through and then blamed us. We were required to contact owner upon arrival and departure. All made me feel unwelcomed. It took weeks to get the deposit fee which was enormous. Definitely not worth it!!!!
