About this property

Riverfront Cabin Oasis/PSU football/Elk viewing

A writer’s retreat, an outdoor lover’s paradise, a family escape, a beautiful reunion of friends, a nature-filled getaway with rafts and kayak included-- all within an easy drive to State College & Penn State!

Unplug, unwind, & sink into this peaceful cabin and its surroundings! Enjoy the solitude of nature while benefiting from all the luxuries of modern living. Located on ¾ acre, approximately fifty feet from the inviting banks of the Susquehanna River & the junction of Moshannon Creek, adjacent to the Quehanna wilds in Karthaus, PA, this is YOUR spot! A beautiful view of both river and mountains, a back deck on which to dine, read or enjoy your morning coffee, spacious windows overlooking the river, and ample opportunities for outdoor activities at your doorstep.

Our two-story cabin retreat is in a lovely, quiet setting, with adequate A/C units, a fully appointed kitchen, 1.5 baths, spacious living room with cathedral ceilings, exposed beams, indoor/outdoor surround-sound stereo to set the mood, a large deck with propane grill. Make yourself at home in all parts of this lovely cabin, the back deck, and surrounding river & acres of beautiful forested land.

Wildlife opportunities abound, including viewing deer, elk, & the occasional bald eagle soaring overhead. Located approximately 60 minutes from Penn State, 40 minutes from Benezette, 40 minutes to Bald Eagle State Park, this location can’t be beat.

Summer offers walks in the mountains on hiking trails, cooling off in the river, fishing, rafting, kayaking and canoeing-- all accessible from the cabin’s yard.
Fall offers a Penn State game on Saturday and perhaps a Sunday trek to Benezette Welcome Center to view spectacular elk (the largest elk herd in the northeastern United States). Hike trails, float in the river, & explore the Quehanna Wilds.
