About this property
The Cranberry Cottage @ Hills Creek
The Cranberry Cottage is a cozy getaway located less than a mile from Hills Creek State Park and a short drive from all that makes the Wellsboro area such a popular destination. Whether you are visiting the area for one of our well-known festivals, to view the Pennsylvania Grand Canyon, to bike the 62-mile Pine Creek Rail Trail, go hunting, fishing, hiking, or all of the above....you will love to come home to the comfort of the cottage.
The cottage is situated on a wooded lot that sets back a bit from the quiet, lightly traveled road. Our guests will have access to the entire upper level of the home, both upper and lower covered porches, and the yard. The downstairs is vacant and not currently part of the rental.
The cottage was built and enjoyed as a vacation home by one family for over 40 years. We purchased the home in 2021 and since then our family has been making memories here while remodeling, decorating, and furnishing it...all the while looking forward to sharing it with our guests.
The main living space is open concept and the many large windows with views of the wooded lot give the feeling of being in a treehouse. The living room has a ROKU TV, a brick, natural gas fireplace and plenty of seating. The dining area features a large farmhouse table with long benches and two chairs. The kitchen has been thoughtfully equipped with everything you need to prepare meals at home and includes a counter height table and chairs for additional seating. There is a coffee bar with a Keurig K-Duo™ Single Serve & Carafe Coffee Maker. We provide coffee, a starter supply of K cups, and a reusable K cup pod that can be filled with coffee. We also supply an electric kettle and tea bags for our tea lovers.
The larger bedroom has a queen bed and small seating area with a cozy loveseat, electric fireplace, and TV. The 2nd bedroom has a bunkbed (2 twins). The bathroom has a shower/ tub combination. While we love repurposing items and will always choose a solid, vintage piece of quality furniture with a story over a newly manufactured piece, the exception is our premium mattresses which are purchased new. Like you, we value a good night's sleep, so our beds are dressed in quality cotton sheets, cozy duvets, crisp duvet covers, and comfortable pillows.
Guests will need to have the ability to climb stairs to access the cottage. A 4WD vehicle will be required to navigate the driveway in November and December.

We stayed for a long weekend with our two young kids and we all absolutely enjoyed the whole property from the deck to the fire place to relaxing inside. And loved checking out Wellsboro. We will definitely be back again for a yearly trip!
This was the perfect location and property for a brief eel-needed vacation. The cottage is perfect for relaxing and recharging. A overall great experience.
Cranberry Cottage was probably our first ever rental that deserves a 5 star review! Cleanliness, comfort, and well stocked best describes Cranberry Cottage. Not to mention the beautiful setting its located in. We will definitely make this our "go to" whenever we come back to Wellsboro, PA!
This is the most perfect cottage. Extremly clean, beautifully decorated, and cozy. We made the most of the fireplace in the cold weather. Took a short walk/drive down to the lake to go fishing. Made many meals easily in the fully equipped kitchen. Conveniently located near the town of Wellsboro and the canyon. You will not regret staying here!
Property was great. Decor was warm cozy country feel. Very clean and well appointed. Close enough to town and some great attractions. We enjoyed our hikes and being able to come back to cook an evening meal and sit in front of the fire. Coffee in the morning on the deck was awesome.
Immaculate. Beautifully decorated, especially the Christmas trees and decorations. Comfortable bed. Plenty of space in the living room to relax. Very well stocked kitchen.
Nice state park a short walk away.
The space was perfect for what I needed which was space to get work done and spend some time with my son and best friend. Anything I needed was there and clearly labeled, check in and out was a breeze and Kathleen was so helpful
An absolute gem! This place was clean, organized and well stocked with all the comforts of home. We wanted for nothing! Such a quaintly decorated place, making it warm and inviting. The host was very receptive to questions and resonded quickly. I would definitely come back here again and highly recommend to anyone looking for a relaxing getaway.
The Cranberry Cottage was very cozy and welcoming whether you wanted to relax by the fireplace or take in fresh air on the deck. It was spotlessly clean with everything you would need for your stay. The hosts were very responsive to any questions we had. Definately worth your stay!
We really enjoyed our stay at the Cranberry Cottage. The communication is great with the owners. Everything is detailed and labeled very well. There’s a lot of counter space in the kitchen and everything is well organized. She has everything you need in there which really comes in handy. Overall it’s very clean and cozy!
