Camp Buttcheek Smicklesmirk

Curious about the origin of the name?

When we first set foot on this property, we envisioned building our future cabin. As we sat amidst the freshly mowed field with our young children, we playfully asked them to suggest a name for our future retreat. Without missing a beat, my son exclaimed, 'Let's name it Camp Buttcheek Smicklesmirk!' We erupted into laughter, and that moment became a cherished memory, deeply intertwined with our cabin.

Nestled on 3.28 acres in rural PA, this snug cabin comfortably accommodates six guests and offers a serene escape from everyday life. Unplugged from WiFi, this retreat encourages genuine connections and tranquility. The quaint kitchen is equipped with a sink, refrigerator, portable electric cooktop, microwave, and toaster oven. Essential kitchenware is thoughtfully provided for your convenience. The living room/bedroom combo offers a couch, chair, coffee/end tables, and 2 bunk beds for sleeping. A TV with DVD player and board games have been provided for rainy/cold days. The cabin features electric heating, air conditioning, a full bathroom with a shower, and pure well water.

Outside, guests can enjoy a cozy fire pit, a welcoming picnic table, and gentle outdoor lighting to enhance the peaceful and romantic ambiance. Keep your eyes open and binoculars and cameras ready. We are regularly visited by deer, foxes, bears, and bald eagles. A small trail off the field takes you back to a meandering stream to cool your feet, skip rocks, or catch crayfish and other critters.

Forget something? Make a quick half-mile trek down the road to Myrna’s Mercantile. This small shop sells essential grocery items and also makes a wonderful hot breakfast. Hours are limited, so check before you go. If you need more than essentials, a 5 minute drive into the town of Smethport, PA will provide you with access to a full grocery store, beer distributor, restaurants and banks.

Situated in South-West McKean County, the cabin is a brief drive from the historic Kinzua Bridge State Park, where an array of outdoor adventures and stunning vistas await. A short distance beyond lies the Allegheny Reservoir and Allegheny National Forest, offering a plethora of activities including boating, hiking, scenic drives, picnicking, fishing, and more. For those eager to explore further afield, the Zippo/Case Museum in Bradford, PA, the Pennsylvania Lumber Museum along Rt. 6 in Potter County, and the breathtaking PA Grand Canyon in Wellsboro, PA are all easily accessible.
