About Susan Read
The farmhouse was built by my husband's great grandfather circa 1885. My husband's grandfather, mother, my husband and our children were raised on the farm and have so many wonderful memories of their lives here. We built our home on the farm property and view the pond, farmhouse, barn and buildings every day. It is a reminder of the effort and commitment made by those before us to preserve it for future generations to use and enjoy.
Susan Read purchased this Farmhouse in 1873
Why Susan Read chose Curwensville
The farmhouse and 200 acre farm has been passed down through 6 generations. We feel so blessed to have such a rich heritage and it is our desire as a family to use, preserve and maintain it for generations to come.
What makes this Farmhouse unique
The entire home is available per booking. Special family events, holidays and celebrations could be enjoyed in this spacious 12 room farmhouse. We are 30 minutes from I-80 (Clearfield exit), 40 minutes from I-99 (Tyrone exit), 1 hr from Johnstown, Indiana, Altoona and State College, 35 minutes from Rock Run ATV Park in Patton, 2 hrs from Pittsburgh, 3 hrs from Harrisburg and Lancaster and 5 hrs from New York City, Philadelphia and Washington, DC. This is a beautiful and well equipped country farmhouse in the center of the state ready to be used and enjoyed. It offers a relaxing and peaceful setting for those wanting to get away from the hustle and bustle of city life. Nearby summer activities include hiking, boating, fishing, golfing at nearby golf course 5 minutes away etc. Each season offers its own unique beauty and activities. Spring is a refreshing time to visit with the countryside turning green and flowering trees in bloom. Summer is a popular time for families to get together for reunions, weddings, or retreats. Fall is one of the most beautiful times to stay when the surrounding hillsides are shades of yellow, red, and orange with the fall foliage. The winter months of December, January, and February are quieter times here in the country but the farmhouse offers a cozy place for a winter get-together, writers retreat, or those wanting solitude and stillness or special times with family around the holidays.

Just beautiful! Everything was perfect. Couldn't be better.

Fabulous farmhouse!
Susan was very hospitable, the house is beautiful, stocked with everything you could ever need. So nice and quiet! We really had a fabulous time. I would highly recommend staying at this house!

Relaxing
Was a nice get away. Lake Glendale was beautiful.
Perfect Location
This home was perfect for a relaxing vacation in a secluded setting. Can't wait to visit again. Susan gave us all the information we needed before our arrival and responded quickly to any questions we had. Could not have asked for a better place to stay.
Thank you Todd for your kind review and for the wine!!
Wonderful Getaway!
We met family at the farm house for a long weekend together and couldn’t have asked for a more welcoming, clean, comfortable place to stay. The house is beautiful and full of wonderful history. We spent hours on the porch enjoying the serenity. We will definitely go again!
