Newly Renovated - Clean!! Waterfront, Scenic Views, Private Yard, Firepit

THIS HOME IS NEWLY RENOVATED!! Cleaned and Disinfected using CDC guidelines!

Guests will enjoy this colonial home located in the quaint town of New Berlin, PA. Guests will delight in the picturesque setting from the private backyard with views of the famous Penns Creek and lovely established farms. Guests will appreciate their direct recreational access to the water right on the property with the home safely out of the flood zone. New Berlin, being central located, is a 10-15 minute drive to Lewisburg, Mifflinburg, and Selinsgrove.

This home, built circa 1850 is unique in several ways from the old fashioned side porch, original log accents, old wood floors, wide window sills and hand-hewn beams. Relax in the living room with the original log cabin wall and exposed beams in front of the warm fireplace. This room has an intimate, snug and warm feeling. Although visitors will enjoy the charm of days gone by they will appreciate the modern touches of the home’s complete renovation in 2019. Craftsman restored the original logs and chinking from the home. Exposed rough cut beams adorn the living room and upstairs bedrooms. Renters will enjoy the space of three bedrooms plus an additional child’s loft space for playing or sleeping. One of the bedrooms is a traditional colonial “keeping room”. In colonial times the keeping room was next to the kitchen to take advantage of the kitchen heat. A keeping room is a combination sitting room and sleeping room and utilizes convertible sofa bed to keep the traditional keeping room functionality. Guests enter the keeping room through double barn doors. This room has a relaxing feel with water-views and access to the yard. In addition to the keeping room/bedroom, guests will likely spend time gathering around the gas fireplace in the living room.

The home has two bedrooms upstairs with a full bathroom between the rooms. The feeling of space is accented by the 12 foot high ceiling emulating post and beam construction. This first bedroom has a queen size bed. The second bedroom has room to sleep five people with three single twin beds and a children’s loft with a full mattress. The headroom to the top of the loft is about 5 feet. The downstairs living room also have sleeping options with a queen sofa bed.

Guests will value the professional landscaped backyard that has a wood and wire fence to keep pets and children safe while maintaining the water-views. There is a sunken area with a stone fire pit to enjoy toasting marshmallows. There is also a large alfresco dining area. The back yard is accented with low stone walls built by hand. The tall cedar fence on the west side of the yard provides complete privacy. The east side is blocked by the homes tall, rustic, barn-like garage.

Guests will appreciate the quiet one-way street of this location. Traffic is minimal since most cars are headed to the few homes on this street. The locations is an easy walk to the town’s park that has a boat (kayak) launch and playground area. It is a nice area for a walk along the creek with your favorite person or four-legged friend. This park is used for the town's July 4th festivities and fireworks. Guests will also enjoy walking through town and checking out the Victorian architecture and gardens of the homes.

Don't be surprised if you see horse and buggies on the road. This area still enjoys the rich culture of an Amish and Mennonite community. Many have small businesses in the area that you are encouraged to shop at such as grocery stores with bakeries, plant nurseries/greenhouses, road side stands, fabric stores, farm goods and harness shops.

Family getaway
The house was very nice and in a quiet location. Everything that was needed was there. It was nice having separate controls for the A/C in each room. The fishing wasn’t the best but didn’t get rent the house for that. The house was centrally located where we wanted to go and have fun.

Relaxing along the Creek
Great spot for friends to gather. Location along Penns Creek with lots of outdoor seating was perfect! Comfy rooms, comfy beds, and great kitchen seating made this a fun place for college girlfriends to stage a mini-reunion. And the added treats left by the hostess are a nice touch.

Great house on the Penns
The house was so comfortable and clean and the property was perfect. Backyard on the Penns. We caught fish. The yard is fenced in for the dog. The fire pit looks amazing and there is a great little deck and grill with an amazing view. We will stay there again.

Peaceful retreat
This is such a beautiful property. Clean and well stocked. Brenda was easy to communicate with and even sent a message to check on us during our stay. So many things to do in this property. Some of our favorites were; movies in the living room, reading on the covered porch, fishing by the creek, dinners at the large island in the kitchen, and my daughter's favorite the loft space for kids. There was more than enough room for our family of five, we didn't even use all the beds. Looking forward to a longer trip in the future.

The house is beautifully renovated. The location on the creek is great; our dog enjoyed swimming and spending time in the fenced in yard. It was a great quick trip to get our son settled at Bucknell for the summer. We will be back.

We stayed here for my son's graduation from Susquehanna University. The house was exactly as listed but the view and yard space was even better. We spent our time out back in the yard as much as possible. The water view was beautiful and the whole space was relaxing and inviting.

We had a great time- the house was clean and cozy- and just as described online. The owner was so friendly and communicative. Even our dogs loved it- the fenced in backyard with fire pit. Huge outdoor table will be nice to use in the warmer months for large groups. We won’t hesitate to return.

Wonderful Stay!
We had a wonderful stay at Blue Heron! The home is beautiful and is remodeled into a modern home with original colonial touches! The view is awesome! And the property is also beautiful! It rained alot of the time we were at the house so we didn’t get to take advantage of the fire pit which was disappointing. We loved sitting on the side porch to drink our morning coffee and take in the gorgeous view! We would definitely stay again and highly recommend this property! Brenda was wonderful to work with! Everything was perfect!

Gem in the heart of the Susquehanna Valley
We stayed at Blue Heron to see some friends and family in the area and it was one of the best experiences we’ve had there by far! The property is exactly as described but was fully stocked with everything we needed and more. Brenda was very communicative and checked in with us on the day of check in to make sure we had everything we needed. Super close to Lewisburg, Mifflinburg and Selinsgrove but far away enough that it felt like a real retreat. It’s a beautiful home and we’ll maintained property and we have already recommended it to several friends traveling that way. We would definitely stay again!
