About the House
Miller's Mountain Retreat is located one mile from Scenic Route 6 in the Pennsylvania's Wilds and about fifteen minutes from Cherry Springs State Park, home of the darkest skies on the Eastern seaboard.
The 6,000 square foot Retreat is fully furnished, with six bedrooms, three and a half baths, three living rooms, and a sitting room. Relax in front of one of the two fireplaces or outside by our fire pit. Stretch out on the decks, walk the mountain trails looking for deer, raccoons, porcupines, or even bear. Or, if you come at the right time (generally August) enjoy the wild blackberries and huckleberries growing on the mountain. In early spring, pick wild strawberries or dig leeks. The gardens are filled with blooming flowers throughout the summer, and for a couple of glorious spring weeks, the hillside by the driveway is full of purple, pink, and white lupines. Later in the summer, wild phlox, daisies, and other wildflowers take over. Fall in the Allegheny Mountains is spectacular with miles of untouched, brilliantly colored hillsides stretching before you. In the winter, the hill by the driveway is great for sledding.
Local activities include star gazing at Cherry Springs State Park, hiking the Susquehanna Trail in the Susquehanna State Forest, fishing for trout in the nearby streams, riding your ATV/4-wheeler or snowmobile on our 56 acres or on the miles of Potter County trails winding through County and State lands, bird watching in local and state forests, or hunting on our 56 acres or on the thousands of nearby county and state land. Visit Coudersport, Wellsboro (home of the Pennsylvania Grand Canyon), or Wellsville to name of few of the towns in the region. The Pennsylvania Lumber Museum and the Eliot Ness Museum are two other fun activities guests can enjoy, as is visiting the Coudersport Pool between Memorial Day and Labor Day. There are several state parks in the area, including Lyman Run State Park, Sinnemahonig State Park, Cherry Springs State Park, Patterson State Park, Ole Bull State Park, Sizerville State Park, Denton Hill State Park, and Prouty Place State Park. You can also visit the Elk Country Visitor Center and see the elk herd, or explore the historic Austin Dam Memorial Park.
