Historic Farm Property, 40 min. from Penn State.

Our cottage provides accommodations for up to 5 adults and not more regardless of bringing your own air mattress, etc. Children with portacrib(s) may be approved by contacting us in advance. We are not the right choice for large Penn State groups beyond 5 adults. Thank you for your understanding.

This quaint, renovated cottage offers the best of two worlds! Located just 40 minutes from Penn State's Beaver Stadium, this respite provides comfortable accommodations for anyone attending a Penn State football game, graduation, or parent’s weekend.
As a destination all its own, the Cottage at Plum Bottom Farm offers picturesque landscapes in all seasons. Rural, rolling hills with farms dotting the horizon and horse and buggies sharing the road will remind you that things are simpler here. The area is perfect for scenic country drives and offers many opportunities for hiking, biking, fishing, kayaking, and canoeing.
This property does not host hunters.
Sleeping accommodations include three bedrooms. Two bedrooms have a queen size bed. The third has a single bed. All rooms have a closet and windows offering natural light and scenic views of this 100+-acre farm.
The fully equipped kitchen has a stove and refrigerator, as well as toaster, coffee maker, microwave, cookware, dishware, flatware, and cooking utensils. There is access to washer and dryer.
There is a full bath with tub-shower unit, sink and toilet.
A private deck offers outside seating overlooking the pastures and the peaceful beauty of neighboring farms that must be witnessed in person to be fully appreciated.
There is wifi on premise and a smart tv is available for use with the guest's own streaming service.
Pennsylvania Route 655 is known as Main Street within the village, with residences and a few businesses spread out within about two blocks of Main Street. Locally owned and revered Shy Bear Brewing is just 13 miles away in Lewistown. They offer thirst-quenching libations and a full schedule of live entertainment and events throughout the year.
Weekday visitors will enjoy the flea market and auction in Belleville every Wednesday. Locally grown produce and homemade baked goods are available and make for a delicious treat back at the cottage.

This cottage was absolutely charming. It was beautifully decorated, clean and well equipped with everything needed for our stay and art retreat at a nearby farm. . The grounds were beautifully groomed and the cows even walkover to greet us. The owners nearby were very hospitable and friendly.

Peaceful & relaxing ☺️
We were in town for a concert at Penn State, only about 40 minutes from the stadium. The cottage was a perfect place to relax & unwind. The beds were so comfortable! It was very quiet, surrounded by farmland. Our family of 4 - my husband, myself & our 2 kiddos - 13 & 8, look forward to visiting again! Thank you to Joy & Keith for being wonderful hosts!

A wonderful little cottage on a big property. Beautiful setting, extremely clean and cared for cottage. Great communication from the host. Its a shame we stayed on a rainy weekend so we did not get to take in much of the outdoors, but we plan to return.

Beautiful cottage, considerate owners
The cottage is very well kept. The owners take care of every small detail to make your stay comfortable. The kitchen is well equipped, plenty of clean towels, new soaps, etc. The location is beautiful, though a little far from the university. Joy and Keith are adorable hosts. Highly recommended.

Great communication. Cozy cottage. Very clean. Basic amenities there in case you didn't bring everything from home. You'll be in the country, but close to fun things to do as recommended by the owner. The cottage helped us have a reasonable ride home from Penn State football, instead of longer travel to get to our residence. Lots of rain over our weekend, so we missed hiking and pickleball. Those would have just been a bonus!

We needed a place to stay for a college football game and wanted to be outside of the hustle and bustle of downtown. The cottage was cozy. The house was cute and had everything we needed. It was quiet and relaxing and an added bonus, there were cows!
