Welcome to Cherry Springs Vacation Rentals — your premier choice for lodging near Cherry Springs State Park, one of the best stargazing destinations in the world.
Cherry Springs State Park, located in the heart of Pennsylvania’s Potter County, is world-renowned for its exceptionally dark skies and minimal light pollution — officially designated as an International Dark Sky Park. Each year, thousands of visitors flock here to experience awe-inspiring views of the Milky Way, meteor showers, and rare celestial events. Whether you're a casual night-sky admirer or a seasoned astrophotographer, there's simply no better place on the East Coast to witness the wonders of the universe.
But Cherry Springs isn’t just for stargazing. By day, you’ll find scenic picnic areas, hiking trails, and access to the surrounding Susquehannock State Forest, with its vast network of trails for biking, birdwatching, and peaceful nature walks. The park’s altitude, rural setting, and open fields create ideal conditions for both outdoor adventure and serene relaxation.
