PSU Graduation weekend
We had a wonderful time celebrating our son's graduation at this beautiful log cabin! Our family enjoyed being together in this peaceful and relaxing setting. The owners greeted us and shared the history of their cabin along with homemade blueberry buckle and basket of goodies! It was a perfect weekend!

Electric bike trip
A group of us rented the cabin to ride our electric bikes at the nearby state park. The cabin and location was perfect! The cabin is extremely well appointed and steeped in history.
Very cool trip.
