Sunsets, star gazing, & mountain views from this beautifully renovated cabin originally built in the 1800’s can be outstanding. Enjoy relaxing, playing disc (frisbee) golf, horseshoes, or hiking around the property. Within 5-15 minutes there are more hiking plus fishing options at Big Spring & Fowlers Hollow State Parks along with Tuscarora State Forest. Our valley has a large Amish community. In fact, there is an Amish bakery down the street. Use caution approaching & passing the buggies.
The space
The old log cabin received a beautiful internal and external facelift in 2021-2022. Watching the sunset over the pond from a rocking chair on the covered front porch, playing games on the picnic table on the covered back porch, or just hanging out on the deck taking in the mountain and pond views, or the stars, creates memorable moments for you. The table-top Blackstone grill on the deck offers a great cooking surface for pancakes, bacon, grilled cheese, hamburgers, and more.
Play a round of disc (frisbee) golf around the property or horseshoes at the pavilion. While exploring the 22 acres, keep an eye out for special items placed in various locations and benches that take advantage of views. Many of the outdoor areas and facilities are common areas that might be shared with a few others.
The two-sided outdoor toilet and double shower facilities are a few steps away from the cabin. There are no facilities inside the cabin.
Once inside the cabin, the rustic kitchen and main room are on the first floor. The kitchen has cold running water along with an apartment sized refrigerator, drip coffee maker, microwave, air fryer toaster oven, crockpot dishes, utensils, pots, and a hot plate.
The Amish made dining table with seating for 6 is located in the main room. The futon offers seating besides opening to a full-sized bed. The CordyRoy chair unzips to reveal a queen-sized floor mattress tucked inside. Once opened, give it a few strong shakes to even the distribution. Bedding for the futon and mattress is located in the chest and the dresser. Towels are located in the dresser.
The TV has no streaming or cable service connected to it. There is a Blueray DVD player provided along with a few DVD's. Feel free to bring your game system if desired. The wifi connection is usually weak inside the main room due to the thick logs. A better connection is available outside and at the pavilion.
Climb the ladder steps to the loft bedroom with queen bed. There is also a chair to enjoy the view from the window. The limited headroom in the loft is due to the steep roof grade.
