About this property

Mountain Retreat ★ HEATED POOL ★ Amazing Views!

★ NEW!! ★ Heated SALTWATER POOL open May through September.


Welcome to "Mountain View Retreat," a gorgeous contemporary home perched high on a wooded hillside with incredible birds-eye views of the Susquehanna River and the city of Harrisburg!

This spacious WHEELCHAIR ACCESSIBLE home features 6 bedrooms (all with king size beds!) plus an office/sitting room with a sleeper sofa, and a gorgeous sunny library with a sleeper sofa. Three gas fireplaces add a cozy touch to the main living room, the luxurious master suite, as well as the basement family room.

Welcome to the home with perhaps the best view in central PA! This is a very unique contemporary home designed by architect Fred Harle who believed a home could coexist with nature. This home is truly built into the mountain landscape with sleek roof lines to allow for air flow making the home energy efficient, and designed so that almost every room has a view! Beautiful stone fireplaces in the living room, master bedroom and the basement family room.

A beautiful spiral stairway going all the way from the basement to the second floor. Large kitchen with bamboo flooring, and tigerwood flooring in the living room and dining room. A huge 53’ deck with panoramic views that just never get old! A quiet secluded setting, yet all within a few miles from major highways, grocery stores and restaurants.

4 Wheel drive vehicles are recommended in wintertime for navigating our very steep driveway. We will do our best to keep the driveway safe and clear in the winter months. Please note that travel plans could be impacted if the driveway is deemed unsafe due to snow or ice.

Awesome
This house was everything we needed and wanted and then some. Beautiful view. Very spacious house with 3 floors. Many areas in the house to have conversations whether it be private between a couple people or a large gathering to play games! The bedrooms were great sizes, and there were plenty of bathrooms that we didn’t have to “wait in a line”. Nice to have extra refrigerator space in the small kitchenette downstairs. The full kitchen was very well stocked with everything we needed to cook meals. The hot tub was great to use in the cold weather. We stayed for 3 days for a family wedding and there was a snowstorm the day before the wedding! We were very concerned with ice and sliding off the driveway as the driveway is steep and curvy (but that’s why you get the great view on top!). But the host was very good to communicate with and handled the concerns we had about getting to the wedding in a timely manner. He made sure the driveway was plowed, salted, and cleared well before we had to leave. The basket of goodies we received upon arriving was a welcomed and a sweet surprise. Scripture throughout the house brought comfort and peace and was a display of HOPE that our world so desperately needs. We hunkered down on the day of the storm, and it was a perfect place to do so, as we celebrated family being together from PA, NC, and AZ.

Great location for business retreat!
The location is great for a small business off-site meeting. The house had everything we needed and the owner was a pleasure to work with!

Amazing retreat
We had a Bible study weekend at this property, and it was an absolutely amazing experience. The beautiful view, the lovely accommodations, the set up of the house were all perfect. Jake, the host, was extremely helpful in his communication and in being accommodating. Plus, with the property's easy access to downtown, it was a perfect location to be close at hand to Harrisburg, but feel like we were away and remote. People at the retreat repeatedly said they couldn't imagine having a more perfect location! We hope to stay again in the future, and we really appreciate the host's helpfulness.

Even More Amazing than Expected!
I brought a group of women leaders to this incredible property for a weekend of relaxing AND work. Everything about our experience was even better than expected! There was plenty of room to spread out and have your own space and then space to come together as a group. The hosts have thought of everything! We had so much fun using the pool, hot tub, and fire pit, and the views are nothing less than spectacular! Several of our group commented on what a great place this would be for a family gathering! There are lots of games, a pool table, a ton of books, great wifi, a basketball court and more. Another thing we loved is that the kitchen is amazing- well stocked with plenty of everything you need, including serving dishes. And the dining table must have about 20 extra leaves! We also had a meal catered, and Jake’s recommendation was perfect. Jake could not have been more attentive and responsive. You will LOVE this property!

Perfect
What an amazing home. The owner was a great communicator and had the home all set up for guests. All the rooms are spacious and bright. With the large group that we had, in was very helpful to have multiple places to sit while eating. Beds were comfortable, including the pullouts. The home had anything you may need for a stay, which is great to not have to pack that extra stuff. While we didnt use it, having a kitchen on the lower level is a great plus. The views were truly amazing. Jake was a great host and answered any questions we had. My only regret is not being able to stay longer than we did. Looking forward to booking a family getaway next year at the same house!

This property has an incredible view that is hard to describe. You really need to see it to believe it!
