About this property

Blue House on the Hill

You will not want to miss this unique spot surrounded by woods and a beautiful view of the mountains, enjoyable from both the outside deck or inside the 25-foot Great Room. This special house was created in 2005 by a man who relocated here from Long Island, NY. It is far from your typical farm house in Snyder County, but with all the same great views and privacy.

You enter up steps to the private entrance into the game room, then you can take a few steps up to the stunning Great Room where you find a beautiful double staircase to the top floor. The Blue House on the Hill, surrounded by 69 acres of farmland, is calling your name for your next trip away from home, whether you are in the area to visit your college student, or just want a getaway to a peaceful location for a few days.

You will have access to the top two spacious floors of the house (owner lives on the first floor), which includes a full kitchen, game room, Great Room, one large bedroom, one small bedroom, a laundry area, and 2.5 bathrooms. The house can sleep up to 12, two to a bed, one on the couch, and five memory foam 5 inch floor mattresses. You also have access to the walking trails in the woods and the grass area outside the house for games (we have some available) or relaxing.

Enjoy a meal on one of the two decks (grill available), look for some wildlife such as deer or turkeys, adventure on the walking trails in the surrounding woods, play a game of pool with your family, admire the beautiful woodwork throughout the house, and relish a relaxing night in the jacuzzi.

The house is 8 miles from Susquehanna University, 16 miles from Bucknell University, and 56 miles from Penn State University. There are several small towns nearby such as Middleburg, Mifflinburg, and Selinsgrove. On the "strip" near Selinsgrove there are many restaurants and places to shop. There is a really nice park in Selinsgrove called Kids Grove. The house is 29 miles from Knoebels Grove in Elysburg.

This house had every amenity one would wish for. The kitchen was well stocked with food and cookware. We enjoyed playing pool. The woodwork in the house is gorgeous. I felt like I was staying inside a home found in Bavaria. The beds were a bit firm.

Amazing

My only complaint is that I did not stay longer. So nice, they give everything you need. Super clean on a nice super quiet street. Was looking at Bucknell and is a short drive there. I wish I could give this listing 10 stars.

Great stay

Extremely clean property and everything was as described. Beautiful views. Lots of extras, including breakfast foods and welcome cookies - far beyond the normal VRBO rental in that regard. Would definitely stay here again if in the area.

Beautiful, unique home!

Our son lives in Selinsgrove, so we needed a place to stay over the weekend. We had a wonderful time playing pool, hanging out and the home was so convenient to town. Excellent hosts and the beds were comfortable. The house was beautifully decorated for Christmas. We had a great time and look forward to coming back!

It was so great, we extended our stay over New Years!

We've stayed at the Big Blue House multiple times, and have so many wonderful memories from these visits. Lori and Dennis are "world class" hosts! They give attention to so many details important to their guests. The home and holiday decorations are exceptional and raise the bar to the highest level for other vacation rentals.

This is a "magical" house!

This was our second stay at the Big Blue House, and equally as wonderful as our first visit. This home owner could set the example for "world class hospitality". So many details have been well thought out: breakfast items in fridge, big choice of cereals, snacks, coffees, teas, and hot chocolate. Bathrooms are well stocked with soaps. Along with the ping pong, and pool table, there's board games to make for a very welcoming and homey atmosphere.

Home away from home

There is literally nothing you need. Everything is there. The property is absolutely meticulously kept. Every inch of floor is immaculate. Lori was an amazing host and responded as quickly as if she was sitting right next to you. Should we be in the area again, we will definitely like to make a stop here again. Thank you so much!

The view!

The view is spectacular! The yard is so wonderful. We can't believe how much work was done outside on this property. Then we go in the house. WOW, just WOW. The interior Living room and game room, such intricate woodwork. Just amazing. This is a home not just a VRBO. We only had 1 night, would love to go back.

Large accomodating home in the country

So first of all, the architecture in this home is amazing, i felt like i was coming down the grand staircase of the titanic! Beautiful! Everything you could want or need on hand. Convenoent laundry with all the stuff to do it if needed. We made breakfast with what they provided. I feel like it could be a great place for a small family reunion, I picture a bunch of 8 to 14 year olds loving this place for a sleepover in the big livingroom piling mattresses up and talking all night! We played pool and ping pong, enjoyed the back deck, watched TV and my husband loved the jet tub! The spare room bed sounded a little unhappy with us two larger sized adults sleeping on it, but it made it fine through two nights! I only wish we had more time to spend in this place, really loved it!
