Cozy Country Cottage with Juniata River Access and Railroad Views
The fully renovated cottage sits on our 105 acre farm and is filled with country charm. Cottage was built circa 1840 but is equipped with a fully equipped modern kitchen, spacious living area, bath with tub/shower combo and two upstairs bedrooms. Amenities include central heat and a/c, satellite tv and free wifi access. The cottage sits approx 150 yards from the beautiful Juniata river which boasts some of central Pa's best bass fishing. Train lovers will enjoy watching trains as they travel through the upper farm fields as they make their way to Philadelphia and Pittsburgh. Great location for folks that love the outdoors or to cozy up in the comfort of the cottage. Burnt Timbers Winery is located approx. 75 yards from the cottage.

This house may not be very large, but despite this it feels spacious. For an old home, the interior is well updated.
It has a well appointed kitchen and a nice outdoor space. Was happy to have stayed here and will definitely stay again in the future.
Thanks Mark & Sarah
Amazing farmhouse on a Winery. Very clean and cozy. My wife and daughter loved sitting by the fireplace and reading. Forty-five minutes from Penn State was perfect for us, as my daughter wanted some time away from campus. My wife and daughter are already planning a girl's weekend so they can spend more time at the Winery.
I loved watching the trains go by!
Our stay was perfect. My husband and I, my brother and sister in law, attended a Penn State tailgate and game this weekend and the Burnt Timbers cottage provided us with a welcome home after a long, hard day. Although a bit far from State College, it was a nice respite from all the hustle and bustle. The weather was not great and we were away so much of the weekend that we didn't get a chance to enjoy the property's small winery, but we did enjoy the cozy TV area late at night, the kitchen space for coffee and danish on Sunday morning and the enchanting roosters which we loved. I once heard a story from friends who stayed in an Irish castle's cottage and they received fresh eggs every morning from the chickens on the farm....that would be a nice touch. Also, since the farm is so remote, a note about local convenience stores might be helpful. We really didn't know where we were late at night. I personally loved paging through the cottage magazines, myself. Thank you so much.
Great location. A great place to get away from the noise of life. Very comfortable cottage. Great host n right next to a winery. And the Saturday evening band wasnt bad either. Definitely worth it. Better than a B&B.
This is a very nice little farm house with a Winery right next door. We enjoyed our stay and the weather even cooperated and there was a nice cool breeze so we took advantage of the outdoor fireplace!
I honestly never thought Pennsylvania was supposed to be this beautiful. And the pictures on VRBO do not do your little farmhouse justice. To say my wife and I enjoyed our stay on your incredible property is an understatement. We are so happy we chose your place to be our place for the stay. Thank you so much for your hospitality and the opportunity to be your guest.
Sincerely, Alberto & Tandra Garza
I recently stayed at at this cottage and had a wonderful experience! The hosts were incredibly welcoming and provided all the comforts of home. The property was clean, well-maintained, and beautifully decorated, making for a relaxing and enjoyable stay. I especially appreciated the attention to detail and the little extras that were provided. I would highly recommend staying here to anyone looking for a comfortable and hassle-free experience. Thank you for such a memorable stay!
We were coming from about 4 hours away for the Penn State/ Michigan game- our first big D1 game with my husband and myself, and two sons (14 and 10). The cottage was just far enough away from State College to be out of the crowds and hustle of the weekend, but close enough to be a short, easy drive.
The cottage itself was the perfect mix of rustic and modern. The boys played football out back in the clearing. When they came in to relax, throw on a blanket on the couch, the satellite tv had all the channels needed. The scenery of the corn fields, winery, peak of mountains, peeking of the nearby trains was beautiful. There were plenty of restaurants, both local and chains, close by in Lewistown (about 10 minutes).
I wouldn’t hesitate recommending the cottage to someone I know. In fact, I already have.
Great Cottage with great owners! My wife and my 5th day and every stay gets better!
Owners stop multiple time and we talked at the winery that is right aside of the Cottage!
Can’t go wrong!!
The house was great and the property was lovely! I like the style and everything was meticulously maintained. Chucking and Check-out were easy with only the basic, necessary instructions. The hosts were nice and communicated well. I really appreciate the time, effort, and thought that went into everything.
Beautiful and clean cottage. We did not realize the winery was literally next door, what a pleasant surprise. We enjoyed wine tasting and bought a couple of bottles. Drive was exactly as expected to PSU. I loved the farmland the cottage is on. The surrounding mountains are beautiful. My son loved the zip line. Thank you for a great stay!
Everything about our stay at the cottage was perfect. Mark was responsive when I had questions and easy to work with. The cottage was immaculate and had everything we needed. It felt like we were staying with friends. The setting is also lovely - so serene and beautiful. There is a train nearby but honestly it’s not an issue. And the winery next door is a wonderful perk!
We will be back!!
We had a wonderful time relaxing and staying at this cottage for the weekend. It was just as it was pictured! We relaxed outside watching the chickens roam and deer eat from the corn fields. My husband and granddaughters were able to walk to a fishing spot close by and we enjoyed some wine from the winery right next door. I highly recommend this cottage and am sure we will return!
The 1840s farmhouse, which is wonderfully redone, was fantastic! It is positioned in the middle of many acres of corn and also right beside the Burnt Timbers winery. We were looking for a peaceful stay, surrounded by nature, and we got that here--with chickens, fields, the river close by, and the hills of Pennsylvania. Our stay marks one of the best VRBO rentals we have had. Thank you to the owners for making this wonderful place available to us for a couple of days!
