Lions' Lake House offers your family and friends room to stretch out for leisure and relaxation. Newly renovated, this spacious four bedroom, three bathroom home is yours to enjoy central Pennsylvania in comfort. The drive to Beaver Stadium and the Pennsylvania State University is just 25 minutes, and it's less than 5 minutes to Bald Eagle State Park. Nestled near the lake, opportunities for swimming, bird watching, fishing, hiking, cross-country skiing, hunting, and boating are moments away.

Light-filled and roomy, this property provides space to stretch out, relax, and make yourself at home. The newly renovated Lions' Lake House affords modern comforts while maintaining elements of its nearly 150-year-old charm. You'll find new carpets, flooring, central air, and fast Wifi, alongside original and lovingly refinished details.

The front door opens to an open living room where guests can gather to enjoy conversation. The room offers a writing desk/workspace, sitting areas, and an antique 19th-century piano. Double French doors lead to a den with a full-size billiards table, dart board, karaoke machine, vintage record player, TV and a comfy sofa bed. The airy, informal dining room has a large table, seating 8 comfortably. The sunny kitchen has a full-size refrigerator along with new electric range/oven, dishwasher, microwave, cookware, and a coffee maker. A full bathroom with a stacked washer/dryer completes the first level.

There are four bedrooms and two full bathrooms upstairs, along with an open loft/common area.
This loft at the top of the main stairs offers a day bed with trundle, TV, wii game console, games and toys, and cozy spot for reading.

Bedroom #1 has a queen bed, sitting area with a rocking chair, a TV, desk, and en suite bath. A "secret" set of stairs from this master bed leads back down to the dining room... perfect for a midnight snack!

Bedroom #2 has a double bed and a reading chair, and is filled with natural light.

Bedroom #3 has a queen bed with mountain views, a TV, large closet, sitting area and desk.

Bedroom #4 has twin bunk beds, plus a double bed with a closet.

A bath off the common area upstairs offers a combination bathtub/shower, and a double sink vanity.

This spacious home is perfect for families, and is within walking distance to the lake, two local restaurants, a convenience store, a bait shop, a basketball court, and several playgrounds.

The entire home, kids clubhouse, and outdoor space is yours to enjoy. Garages, attic and basement are not accessible for guests.

Incredibly accommodating
This home is so lovely. The owners truly thought of everything and added such wonderful touches to everything. We had everything we needed. Perfectly stocked kitchen, bathrooms and bedrooms. We didn’t lack for anything. They also gave us delicious fresh tomatoes from their garden. We really appreciated all the little touches.

Great Spot for Family Vacation
This was the perfect home away from home. The home is well setup and offers different areas to relax. The pool table was a big hit as well. The hosts are very responsive and replaced a few things that weren’t working properly when we arrived. The area around Bald Eagle State Park and State College is beautiful with a decent amount of stuff to do. Would definitely recommend this property for small to medium sized family get togethers. Overall a great house with great hosts.
