About this property
Secluded Mountain House near State College & Huntingdon, PA
Get away for a mountain top experience in this secluded mountain house where wild life can be enjoyed with your morning coffee along with a breathtaking view. Experience quiet solitude in the central PA mountains yet you are about 30 minute drive to State College with all the activities of Penn State University and Football. The three bedrooms comfortably sleeps 6. A wood stove in the basement, gas fireplace upstairs, whole house heating and air conditioning and an emergency generator system guarantee your comfort no matter what is happening outside. In the winter 4 wheel drive is necessary to drive up the steep gravel lane in ice and snow.
Enjoy hiking trails on our 115+ acres of property which has access to Stone Creek, an active trout stream. Also Whipple Dam, Greenwood Furnace State Park, Rothrock State Forest and Raystown Lake are a short drive away. The mountain house adjoins Spotted Hart Stables, home to our 12 Appaloosa horses which can be seen grazing in their hillside pastures. On a stroll through the forest you may catch a glimpse of Ghazi our 3 time Appaloosa national champion endurance horse out for a training ride or experience the soaring of bald eagles on mountain air currents. Wildlife abounds for you to experience. End your day with s'mores around an evening campfire watching the sun set with brilliant colors that change every day behind the next mountain. As you wait for the stars to appear unhindered by background light, peace and tranquility will take on a new meaning for you.
The opportunity to antique shop, visit a winery, enjoy Amish & country cooking awaits your visit to Belleville. Small town charm, architecture and Raystown Lake await your visit to Huntingdon. If you prefer the more upscale modern restaurants and shopping experience, State College is happy to supply your desires. Whether you are looking for that quiet getaway with friends & family or are looking for a more private peaceful convenient location to access State College activities, the mountain house will become your home away from home. We will attempt to provide for any special requests and look forward to helping you find peace and relaxation on your stay.

Frequently asked questions
About the host
Hosted by Amy & Jeffery Hartman
We are family oriented with 4 children and 14 grandchildren that grew up on horse farms in the area. God has blessed us with this property and a strong desire to share its peace and beauty with others. Jeff has a dental practice in Huntingdon County since 1980 and partnered with our daughter Shilo to open Altoona office in 2019. Amy is actively involved in ministry at our church in State College, cares for grandchildren frequently, and manages our rental properties and farm workers.
Why they chose this property
The Mountain House was built by the original owners of our farm as their second home when they relocated. In 2016 we purchased the Mountain house and the remaining land to the original farm we live on when the owners were ready to sell. It was always our desire to reunite all the acres of the original farm, and when the opportunity came, we were excited to see that dream fulfilled. We did consider relocating to the Mountain House and we occasionally stay there and share it with out of town family. As beautiful as it is, we enjoy life in our home on the main part of the farm where we can watch our horses run through the fields, and have easy access to our barns. Sharing the Mountain House with family and guests is something we enjoy.
What makes this property unique
We have stayed in many places through out the world. The beauty, peace and tranquility of this Mountain home is up there with any we have visited. The opportunity to view most of the wildlife of Pennsylvania exists from the back deck while in your bathrobe sipping your favorite morning beverage. There is opportunity to explore the rich and diverse landscapes and culture of central Pennsylvania. The Amish community of Belleville is over the mountain in one direction and the culture of Penn State University is over the other mountain, and scattered throughout are many quaint small villages and towns that offer a variety of experiences for the traveler who enjoys country living at its finest.
