Loved this cabin. It was very clean. We were there during a wind storm and a tree fell down over the lane. We didn’t know until we came back around 10:30pm after our daughter’s basketball game in Boalsburg. We called and were able to park our vehicle for the night and walk a short distance to the cabin. The next day they had the tree removed from the lane. We had a very nice stay.

Great place to stay. Very clean.

The house was perfect for us. Very clean. It rained a lot so we didn't get to enjoy the beautiful back yard but we were really only there for my mom and sisters to meet my new grandson. We have camped at the camp ground several times. It was nice not to have to drag the camper up this time.

The Hummingbird Cabin

Wonderful place to stay to unplug and relax. Cozy, private, and connects directly to Black Moshannon Park through a trail by the patio! We took our mountain bikes over to the park and enjoyed a long ride through the trails. Our favorite part of our stay was watching the hummingbirds on the back deck. Not a good place for cell phone reception or wifi but is a great place to enjoy nature and unwind!

Cozy Cottage

Cozy little cottage. Enjoyed time around the fire pit, watching a rainstorm from wrap around porch and hiking through the woods. If you want to get away and enjoy nature, this rental is ideal. Do not expect wifi and do not expect spacious. Do expect clean, good communication, well stocked and adequate for 4 people. We loved it. Hope to return.
