Don't be fooled by the pictures on the listing. They really don't do justice for this beautiful house. We enjoyed a clean, comfortable, and spacious stay at this charmer. I have no complaints whatsoever, which is surprising because I can be quite particular. The owner, Yancy, was more than accommodating when we discovered an issue and was very generous and friendly. We hope to return next year!

We have never stayed in this area on our "Penn St annual weekend" but I would come back to this property. We enjoyed the 2 living rooms: one for kids and one for adults. Plenty of bedrooms. We had a nice fire in the backyard. The one negative is the small kichen and cooking pans.Good host and good property.

Perfect Family Spot

This place was perfect for our growing family. It accommodated our adult children and grandchild as well as our teen boys. It was o my a mile from the boat launch and had space to park our boat. Yancy was very accommodating and responsive. We were able to bring our dogs. Overall a fantastic family house!

Perfect Weekend Getaway

Our family had a wonderful stay at this home. It was very clean and well stocked! We loved the large front porch and how close it was to the lake! Bonita is extremely responsive & her and Yancy are so accommodating. We honestly couldn’t have asked for a better home or hosts! If you are looking for good food & great customer service, go right next door to Brother’s Pizza! Our family is already talking about making another visit! 100% would recommend!

Great house with plenty of sleeping room for extended family. Short drive to the lake at Bald Eagle state park. Big front porch with the rocking chairs and swing were a favorite for all. All the women liked the decor and were happy with the house.
