About this property

Cozy Country Cottage with Juniata River Access and Railroad Views

The fully renovated cottage sits on our 105 acre farm and is filled with country charm. Cottage was built circa 1840 but is equipped with a fully equipped modern kitchen, spacious living area, bath with tub/shower combo and two upstairs bedrooms. Amenities include central heat and a/c, satellite tv and free wifi access. The cottage sits approx 150 yards from the beautiful Juniata river which boasts some of central Pa's best bass fishing. Train lovers will enjoy watching trains as they travel through the upper farm fields as they make their way to Philadelphia and Pittsburgh. Great location for folks that love the outdoors or to cozy up in the comfort of the cottage. Burnt Timbers Winery is located approx. 75 yards from the cottage.

It was so great that my autistic son cried for 3 hours on the drive home about his cottage and kept asking me to turn around. Last time we stayed in the area he was so out of his comfort zone and scared that he wouldn’t sleep until 3 am for the first 3 nights. It’s a very peaceful property, with lot of fun to be had and the best hosts you could ask for.

Quaint, clean, well appointed and very quiet

This house may not be very large, but despite this it feels spacious. For an old home, the interior is well updated. It has a well appointed kitchen and a nice outdoor space. Was happy to have stayed here and will definitely stay again in the future. Thanks Mark & Sarah

Nice House

This is a very nice little farm house with a Winery right next door. We enjoyed our stay and the weather even cooperated and there was a nice cool breeze so we took advantage of the outdoor fireplace!

Great location. A great place to get away from the noise of life. Very comfortable cottage. Great host n right next to a winery. And the Saturday evening band wasnt bad either. Definitely worth it. Better than a B&B.

Wonderful stay!

Amazing farmhouse on a Winery. Very clean and cozy. My wife and daughter loved sitting by the fireplace and reading. Forty-five minutes from Penn State was perfect for us, as my daughter wanted some time away from campus. My wife and daughter are already planning a girl's weekend so they can spend more time at the Winery. I loved watching the trains go by!

Another great stay

The Burnt Timbers cottage is always a nice stay. Quiet and relaxing, well appointed, out of town but convenient to anything you need. The hosts are great and the chickens will provide hours of entertainment!

Cute Clean Cottage

I recently stayed at at this cottage and had a wonderful experience! The hosts were incredibly welcoming and provided all the comforts of home. The property was clean, well-maintained, and beautifully decorated, making for a relaxing and enjoyable stay. I especially appreciated the attention to detail and the little extras that were provided. I would highly recommend staying here to anyone looking for a comfortable and hassle-free experience. Thank you for such a memorable stay!

Amazing place to stay!

The 1840s farmhouse, which is wonderfully redone, was fantastic! It is positioned in the middle of many acres of corn and also right beside the Burnt Timbers winery. We were looking for a peaceful stay, surrounded by nature, and we got that here--with chickens, fields, the river close by, and the hills of Pennsylvania. Our stay marks one of the best VRBO rentals we have had. Thank you to the owners for making this wonderful place available to us for a couple of days!

Perfect Weekend Getaway

Absolutely perfect for a quiet getaway. Our second stay here and it was just as lovely as the first. Arrived Friday evening and the kids enjoyed hanging out with the chickens, zip-lining and throwing a football around. As it got dark we all sat by the fire and watched the fields light up with lightning bugs. Saturday we headed out to some local attractions (Shy Bear Brewing and a State College Spikes game) and it was so nice to come back to this perfect spot.

Beautiful vineyard location

Beautiful and clean cottage. We did not realize the winery was literally next door, what a pleasant surprise. We enjoyed wine tasting and bought a couple of bottles. Drive was exactly as expected to PSU. I loved the farmland the cottage is on. The surrounding mountains are beautiful. My son loved the zip line. Thank you for a great stay!

The cottage was beautiful and a winery next door!

Updated beautifully. Only concern was due to my age and eyesight, I opted to remain downstairs. The sofa is very comfortable and I slept fine. I would recommend this lovely cottage. The owners were friendly and always made sure we were satisfied with our stay. Be sure to plan a vacation here.

Quaint Cottage

We had a wonderful time relaxing and staying at this cottage for the weekend. It was just as it was pictured! We relaxed outside watching the chickens roam and deer eat from the corn fields. My husband and granddaughters were able to walk to a fishing spot close by and we enjoyed some wine from the winery right next door. I highly recommend this cottage and am sure we will return!

Lovely hidden gem

Everything about our stay at the cottage was perfect. Mark was responsive when I had questions and easy to work with. The cottage was immaculate and had everything we needed. It felt like we were staying with friends. The setting is also lovely - so serene and beautiful. There is a train nearby but honestly it’s not an issue. And the winery next door is a wonderful perk! We will be back!!

Comfortable and enjoyable

The house was great and the property was lovely! I like the style and everything was meticulously maintained. Chucking and Check-out were easy with only the basic, necessary instructions. The hosts were nice and communicated well. I really appreciate the time, effort, and thought that went into everything.

Lovely stay away from but close enough to campus chaos

We needed a place to stay while visiting a Penn State student on a busy, chaotic campus weekend. The cottage was absolutely perfect. Immaculately well-kept and clean. Super easy to check in and out. Everything you could need in the kitchen and bathroom. And a winery like two buildings over. Plenty of information provided for food delivery and things to do in the area. Worth going just to stay here, drink wine, and watch fancy chickens.
