Mountain Retreat on Wooded 23 Acres great for families and friend gatherings

This Beautiful Mountain Chalet is nestled in the woods, set on 23 wooded acres. This property is perfect for rest and relaxation. This spacious home sleeps 18+ people & offers the perfect location to gather with friends and family. It is fully furnished to meet your needs and also near Sweet Water Springs Farm Wedding Venue.

This mountain home is spacious with 7 bedrooms and 3.5 baths with one bathroom on the ground level.

We are an hour from Penn State & Beaver Stadium & are one of the few Air B&B options between PSU & Harrisburg. We are 2 miles off of RT 322 that leads to Penn State. We are also 45 minutes from Carlise (Carlise Car Show) and 30 minutes from The Farm Show Complex in Harrisburg and Hershey Park is 40 minutes away.

Our house has central air and heat on all 3 floors.

If you plan to use the 3rd floor (7th bedroom) an email/text should be sent to us 3 days prior to your arrival so we are sure to have the room set up with the AC or Heat on in advance.

Firewood for the fire pit can be bought locally.
Small quantities at Giant Food
Medium quantities at 208 West Juniata Parkway Millerstown

The house is 108 years old and is not in perfect condition but we love it. It is much nicer than a "cabin" but it is not a 5-star hotel. Our home is a mix of rustic and contemporary styles.

celebrated another new year there

we celebrated second new year in a row at this place and could not have had a better time! the house is clean, had enough space for our group of 12 adults, wooden floor perfect for dancing, no neighbours -- enough privacy, our host Jon was responsive and helpful all the time, and the location is very convenient -- there is plenty of stores and restaurants in 5-15 min drive. if you are looking for a getaway for a large group -- look no further :-)

Great Experience

We had a great experience booking with Jon. We had a very large group and wanted to be able to spend time outside - this booking accommodated both of those things. The field beside the house was perfect for yard games and there was ample space for all 10 of us guys inside the house. Jon was a great host. He communicated regularly with us, and even texted to check in on us during our stay. When I mentioned the grill wasn’t working, he went out of his way to bring us a new one so we could still grill out. I’m happy with our stay, and would recommend it to anyone looking for a place for a large group to gather.
