Lil tio

This is my far the nicest property we've stayed at. It rained all weekend so we were really locked up in the house. No one minded at all. Really nice place. Can't say enough.

This place is absolutely stunning! I have never been in a rental that has been so beautifully decorated and so well stocked. Everything was thought of, from the fire pit for chilly nights, to games for entertainment, to a heated bathroom floor, to brochures on the areas attractions. We went for our mini honeymoon and i didnt want to leave!

Perfect Lil’ Rental

This gorgeous rental is the perfect place to make your outdoor-activity getaway even better! We enjoyed outdoor activities and scenery throughout the area all day then felt completely at home and even pampered when we returned. Lil Tio’s decor is magazine worthy and the furniture is comfortable…best bed we’ve ever had at a rental! We felt completely spoiled by heated bathroom floor and my husband was highly impressed with the bluetooth in the bathroom! As soon as we arrive I knew Kyle thought of everything when I saw umbrellas. Lil Tio is stocked with more than you would even realize you might need. The visitor manual he provides is full of local information and many short day trip ideas, I highly recommend you to visit Lil Tio!

About the host

Hosted by Kyle

Host profile image
I've always had a passion for travel and new experiences.
Setting out 6 years ago, I decided to create a space of my own to offer to other travelers!
In those 6 years, I've had the pleasure of hosting hundreds of families at two VRBOs I own in the Hershey area and now my newest in Forest County.

Why they chose this property

The Tionesta area (specifically Lil Tio itself) called out to me.
With outdoor adventures within walking distance and the quaint town surrounding the property with much to do, it seemed like a no brainer!

What makes this property unique

Lil Tio was formerly a barbershop for 60+ years.
I did my best to renovate the property to todays standards while still holding onto a few original details that made it unique.
Other than the property, it's location is perfect. Walkable to food and Tionesta's Market Village, along with river fun only a short distance away!
