About this property
Cabin Vacation Rental ~ 8 Mi to Penn State!
Nestled in the woods just 8 miles from State College, this rustic log cabin in Pennsylvania Furnace, PA, is perfect for you and your family to step back in time and relax together. This historic 1-bedroom, 1-bathroom retreat was taken apart, moved, and rebuilt by hand on a family farm overlooking the valley. Visit loved ones at Penn State University or explore nearby hiking trails! Later, you can enjoy the view from the front porch and unwind with board games by the electric fireplace.
