About this property
Twin Ridge Retreat
Basement apartment in a rural country setting, nestled between two mountains. We're only10 miles from Route 322, halfway between Harrisburg and State College. Minutes from Juniata Valley Winery (literally only 3 miles down the road) and Port Royal Speedway (8 miles).
Make this your Home Away From Home! This is a finished basement with all the comforts of home. Full kitchen, large livingroom, bedroom and 3/4 bath. Enjoy watching the chickens and goats grazing in the meadow. There's a swingset outside that your children are welcome to use. Build a campfire in the fire ring and roast hotdogs and marshmallows for supper!
To help muffle the chaos and commotion of normal family life, we did as much sound proofing as possible. We will try to keep the noise down in the mornings but please be aware......... we live here and you WILL hear us!
Other things to note:
The basement is yours, with the exception of the small cold storage room that goes off the kitchen. Also the water heater and furnace room goes off the bathroom.
If you are not comfortable with using the gas (propane) stove, there is also an electric single coil burner in the kitchen for you to cook with.
Cell phone service may be poor in the basement but there is WiFi available.

Host was very nice and accommodating. Kitchen was stocked with some breakfast food and yummy homemade cinnamon rolls.Rooms were clean and window air conditioner kept the temperature at 71 throughout our stay.
Worked very well for my sister and I as we were able to stay close to family in the area. Very nice area. Wifi Everything was very clean and the beds and bedding were very comfortable .The bathroom is small , the shower is also small so if you are a large person might be an issue but clean and usable. Nice comfortable sitting area. We used the kitchen to prepare food, most hand tools. Easy in and out. We will be back again. Thank You! to the Hosts

Response from VrboOwner on 21 Aug, 2026
So glad to hear you had a nice time here! Understand perfectly that the shower is less than ideal... for that very reason, a bathroom remodel is next on the list of updates for the apartment. Can't wait!
Nice property, very clean, host was accommodating. There is a Mr. Coffee that does K-Cups, we received fresh milk, eggs, bananas, tea, cereal, and fresh cookies. My granddaughter had a blast playing with the girls and the sweetest dog named Tracey. The patter of feet above was not bothersome, room is private with a keypad entry. If we are ever back in the area we’ll be looking to stay here again.
The property was immaculate and exactly as pictured/described. So clean and the host even left us fresh milk , eggs and cookies. She was very communicative and we had the most enjoyable experience. Highly recommend!!
Hidden treasure - meticulously clean, quaint basement apartment. Great communication and easy check-in. Breakfast items such an appreciated gesture.

Could not have had a better or more comfortable stay. Hosts were very responsive to questions and incredibly accomodating with requests. Thank you, I will definitely stay with you again when I'm in the area
Wonderfully nice host family. Easy to communicate with and very accomodating. We stayed over a holiday and it was clean, warm, welcoming, and so pleasant. Very grateful for a quiet stay in a beautiful country. Gods presence is felt here

This place was fantastic. First off, you get greeted by the nicest dog you will ever meet. Next the owners went above and beyond to make us feel at home, helping with our questions and making sure we had everything we needed. Apartment itself was huge, quiet, and loaded with goodies like fresh milk, eggs, cookies and other snacks. Everything was incredibly clean and the bathroom towels were the fluffiest I’ve ever used! I would highly recommend this place if you’re in town for a Penn State game, it’s an easy drive from the stadium.
I had a last minute commitment in State College, this was the perfect location to stay the night before and night after a full day conference. They made it homey and offered local eating options, I wish I had been able to try them. If you’re looking for a spot to star gaze, this would be it.

We are a Christian family who appreciates the opportunity to work together at home in lawnmower sales and service. Renting out our basement on AirBnB is something we enjoy.. Our prayer is that you would be blessed with God's presence and peace during your stay here!
