About this property

Restored colonial farmhouse near Seven Springs -- Perfect for family gatherings

The Kooser-Ankney Homestead (circa 1832) is a colonial farmhouse listed on the Somerset County (PA) Historic Register that has been lovingly restored. The property has convenient access to Seven Springs (11 miles), Hidden Valley (9 miles), and Laurel Hill State Park (4 miles), and is the perfect place to have a family gathering, enjoy a long weekend, or celebrate a special occasion.

The home features 4 original wood burning fireplaces and 2 gas fireplaces in the guest bedrooms. During warmer months, there is an outdoor fire pit for evenings filled with stargazing. Firewood is provided for guests.

There are three formal bedrooms as well as sleeper sofas on the enclosed porch and in the library. There is a 65" TV in the living room and a 55" TV in the library, with Bose surround sound.

A front load washer and dryer are available, and towels and linens are included with the rental.

The home is equipped with Starlink Internet. Guests of the property can also access our Electric Vehicle charger (220-Volt 50 Amps).

An outdoor propane grill is located on the covered front porch with convenient access to the kitchen. The dining room has a large table that seats the entire family and is handcrafted from old beams found in the historic barn.

About the host

Hosted by Chris Strasser

Host profile image
We have loved living in this home with family and friends for more than two decades. I served in the U.S. Navy and continue to work in the Washington DC area. My wife was previously a professor at Saint Vincent College in Latrobe, PA, but in 2014 joined the faculty at the College of William & Mary in Williamsburg, VA. Thus, we are no longer able to live full-time here and look forward to sharing our home with others. We have wonderful property managers and neighbors who provide support to us and our guests.

Why they chose this property

My wife was born in Western PA, so when a job opportunity presented itself in the region we moved to be closer to family. This was the only property that we scheduled an appointment to view and, even though it needed extensive renovations, we simply loved the historic character of the home. Over a decade, the infrastructure was gutted, the wood floors and fireplaces were restored and a new kitchen and bathrooms were built. We are now working to restore the historic bank barn. Our greatest joy is when people visit the property for the first time and tell us that they immediately feel at home. It is indeed a very special place to build memories that will last a lifetime.
