About the host
Hosted by Lorie Kerstetter
Welcome to Bear Den Guesthouse. We love working and playing in the outdoors - skiing, kayaking, hiking, gardening or just driving around PA.
Why they chose this property
Brian and Lorie your hosts came across this property for their family and friends to enjoy in 2025. It is an amazing spot just 10 minutes from Lock Haven and centrally located between Williamsport and State College. There is a lot to do in the area... hiking, atv trail riding, rail trails, PA Grand Canyon, little league baseball, hunting, fishing and much more.
What makes this property unique
The view is what took our breath away. It's been amazing to wake up and look out over the valley at the ever changing view and animal friends - bear, deer, turkey, fox, birds and animals of all kinds.
And yet be only 10 minutes away from restaurants and grocery stores.
