We enjoyed everything about our stay. Our host met us at the cabin, gave us a tour, left fresh eggs and milk as well as a basket of goodies. Super quiet location. Will definitely stay there again.
Perfect perfect perfect. Beautiful cabin with everything we needed plus more. Lovely owners who were kind and lovely to work with. Stay here! We will again!
Very clean and well maintained. A fun little cottage to stay in. The host met us for checkin and was generous leaving snacks, milk, cupcakes and bubbles for the kids!
We had a wonderful time celebrating our son's graduation at this beautiful log cabin! Our family enjoyed being together in this peaceful and relaxing setting. The owners greeted us and shared the history of their cabin along with homemade blueberry buckle and basket of goodies! It was a perfect weekend!
A group of us rented the cabin to ride our electric bikes at the nearby state park. The cabin and location was perfect! The cabin is extremely well appointed and steeped in history.
Very cool trip.

Rustic, comfortable log cabin not far from State College
My son and I stayed here for a dual campus visit/Kenny Chesney concert weekend. The cabin feels remote from the hustle and bustle of University Park, but it's only about 15 minute drive to campus. The house is part museum/part cozy cabin. It's got a massive wood-burning fire place in the center of the house, and our hosts provided helpful instructions as well as kindling and seasoned logs to burn. Our hosts, who met us upon arrival, also supplied us with fresh blueberry muffins, breakfast cereal and other assorted snacks.
The cabin does not have WiFi or cable but my Verizon data worked fine. There are plenty of beds for a larger group. Definitely a great stay if you are looking for peace, quiet and a bit of central Pennsylvania rustic charm.
