Tioga County lies in north-central Pennsylvania and abuts New York State on the county's northern border. The largely rural county is home to the Grand Canyon of Pennsylvania, also known as Pine Creek Gorge. Over multiple millennia Pine Creek carved this 45-mile-long gorge that reaches depths of almost 1,500 feet at some points. Tourists, hunters and fishing enthusiasts visiting the county will find several motels from which to choose.
Located on U.S. Route 6 near Wellsboro, this 14-room motel is less than two miles from the entrance to the Grand Canyon of Pennsylvania and is also convenient to the Pennsylvania Lumber Museum and the Pine Creek Rail Trail. Each of the motel's rooms offers cable TV, direct-dial telephone and private bathroom. Other amenities include a dining room that serves a full breakfast daily for a reasonable price; a two-acre pond for fishing, swimming and boating; horseshoe pits; volleyball court; and playground.
