About this property
PA Wilds Mtn Cabin, 8 pvt acres in state forest, near Elk Herd & 2 State Parks
Cedarwood Lodge is a mountain cabin on eight forested acres surrounded by the Moshannon State Forest with access to thousands of acres for exploring nature directly from the grounds. Only 4 miles off PA I-80, Exit 111, the cabin provides easy access to Parker Dam and S.B. Elliot state parks and the nearby Elk Herd (Rocky Mountain elk reintroduced in 1913 have prospered) and Elk Scenic Drive. Don't miss the spectacular Mountain Laurel Driving Tour to view the PA State Flower that proliferates throughout the mountain forests each spring.
NEW - July 2024: The internet has come to Cedarwood Lodge via StarLink! Not reliably available in this mountainous area of Clearfield County until recently, StarLink has been successfully installed and provides a strong signal though-out the cabin and surrounding property.
The Lodge is completely equipped including linens, all kitchen needs, microwave, gas cook stove and gas grill, coffee maker, toaster, TV/VCR/DVD (no TV reception), phone, wood burning stove/fireplace, and full bath with tub and shower.
Homemade bread, and sweet rolls or muffins are provided for your first morning's breakfast. Coffee and tea provided.
Deer, turkey, foxes, and an occasional bear can be observed making their way past the Lodge. Enjoy dark skies with easy access to the 'middle of nowhere' - just a 15 minute drive (12 miles) to Clearfield or 20 minute drive to DuBois.
It is easily accessible from the main highway, yet provides privacy and a feeling of seclusion. The Lodge is a great place for family get-togethers, a romantic get-away for two, or a gathering of friends.
Some comments from our guests: '...But the best things were the walks along the logging roads, beaver ponds, flowers starting to bloom, and the peace and tranquility of the backwoods.' Ralph, Nancy, Tucker, Keisee and Marlie, from Novelty, Ohio 'Our drive was 5.5 hours, but it was worth it. We are sad to leave this hideaway to return to the stress of the city.' Amy and Pete from New York City 'We wanted to renew our friendships, enjoy nature, and escape the hustle and bustle of life. We wanted to laugh and talk late into the night. Here at Cedarwood, it all happened.' Barb, Ruth, and Diane from Evans City, PA 'We enjoyed three of the best days of our lives here! This is an absolutely wonderful place.' Chuck and Lori - newlyweds
Although there is not onsite swimming, the cabin is located 2 miles from two state parks which have swimming, boating, nature center, hiking trails of all degrees of length and difficulty. There are beaver dams within walking distance of the cabin.

Our vacation rental journey:
We started renting our family's second home, Cedarwood Lodge, to vacationers in 1992. The 3 BR mountain cabin sleeps up to six guests, sits on 8 private acres surrounded by the Moshannon State Forest.
A few years later, we added the Second Street Suite, a 1 BR downtown vacation rental apartment which can sleep up to four guests.
Tim is an attorney in solo practice, and we own & manage residential rental units, vacation rentals and a traditional B&B in the town of Clearfield, PA. Meeting & hosting guests over the years, from every state in the USA and all over the world has been and remains a pleasure! Tim & Peggy Durant, Hosts
