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.

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!
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!
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!
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!!

If you like a country atmosphere, this place is top notch.
I was visiting the area with a couple of my high school friends for a race weekend at port royal speedway. Instead of staying at a hotel, we decided to try to find a place where we could all hang out together, talk about old times and have a few laughs.
This house was perfect. It has everything that you could ask for, all of the amenities are like brand new. It was plenty big enough for three of us and would be comfortable for four people if one person wouldn't mind sleeping on the couch.
Sarah and Mark were very accommodating and I also enjoyed my visit to the winery tasting room. The chickens hanging around in the yard were pretty cool also.
We will be back next year, Thanks for everything.
We had a lovely stay while in the area unwinding and wine tasting. The property is as advertised and the owners are friendly and accommodating. The train does come by several times overnight and sounds the horn at the nearby crossing. I am a light sleeper so I used ear plugs the second night and slept better!
Perfect cozy place for a quiet getaway. Clean and well appointed. We are repeat clients and will be staying again. Shhhhh….don’t tell anyone about this place
Clean,charming with period details but all the modern comforts.Spacious.Parking right by door for accessibility.The hosts are communicative but not intrusive. Wonderful private location within walking distance to the winery. Only ten minutes from town. Perfect for my family’s needs. Would definitely recommend!
Enjoyed the peace and quiet. Cottag was very clean and comfortable. Sarah and Mark were wonderful. Enjoed hearing the history of the Cottage.Really enjoyed the outside fireplace during the concert on Saturday.Looking forward to our next stay.
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.
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
Our stay was perfect. My husband and I, my brother and sister in law, attended a Penn State tailgate and game this weekend and the Burnt Timbers cottage provided us with a welcome home after a long, hard day. Although a bit far from State College, it was a nice respite from all the hustle and bustle. The weather was not great and we were away so much of the weekend that we didn't get a chance to enjoy the property's small winery, but we did enjoy the cozy TV area late at night, the kitchen space for coffee and danish on Sunday morning and the enchanting roosters which we loved. I once heard a story from friends who stayed in an Irish castle's cottage and they received fresh eggs every morning from the chickens on the farm....that would be a nice touch. Also, since the farm is so remote, a note about local convenience stores might be helpful. We really didn't know where we were late at night. I personally loved paging through the cottage magazines, myself. Thank you so much.
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.
I honestly never thought Pennsylvania was supposed to be this beautiful. And the pictures on VRBO do not do your little farmhouse justice. To say my wife and I enjoyed our stay on your incredible property is an understatement. We are so happy we chose your place to be our place for the stay. Thank you so much for your hospitality and the opportunity to be your guest.
Sincerely, Alberto & Tandra Garza
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!
The cottage was wonderful, very clean inside and had everything we needed. We will definitely visit again. A plus rating in every category.
