Private Cabin with Lake & Mountain Views on 10 Acres - Near Resorts - Book Now!

Before booking, please read the "Important things to note before booking" at the end of this description.  Thank you!

You honestly won't find another property like this! It's nestled along the treeline of a 50-acre organic farm with breathtaking views of the mountains and sunsets visible through our large floor-to-ceiling windows.  Our other border runs along PA State Forest, and with our lake and stream that runs through the property, you get a true mountain escape.  If you're looking for a private, outdoor mountain experience with plenty of space and amenities, then you've found it!

While private, we're conveniently located about 10 minutes from both Seven Springs and Hidden Valley. Many people find it to be the perfect location due to the close proximity to the resorts while also having access to markets, restaurants, shops, and other attractions only a couple of minutes away.

In the warmer seasons, enjoy the large front yard complete with provided outdoor sporting equipment and a volleyball area.  There’s plenty of room for almost any outdoor sport you can think of.  Sit back and relax on our 500-square-foot deck, complete with a propane grill and picnic table.  Sip your favorite beverage while enjoying a panoramic view of beautiful mountain ridges.  Or, grab your swimsuit and a fishing pole and head down to our lake.  At night, unwind around the large fire pit while enjoying smores and listening to the summer night’s sounds including the soothing burble of the Pike Run stream that runs through our property.  Stargazing is stunning!

In the colder months, enjoy the indoor fireplace while looking out at beautiful snowscapes through the large front windows.  From board games to movies and video games, there should be no shortage of entertainment while indoors.  Seven Springs Resort and Hidden Valley are both about a 10-minute drive and offer some of the best skiing in PA as well as snow tubing and plenty of indoor activities.

One main highlight of our property is our lake.  It’s constantly fed by a freshwater intake from Pike Run which flows from deep in the mountains.  It's a secluded and beautiful place (check out our pics), and great for swimming and fishing.

Unlike other properties up on the mountain, we're within 5 minutes from Donegal with restaurants, groceries, beer and wine, a local zoo, a family entertainment center (go-karts, mini-golf, etc.), and many other fun places to visit.  The ICV biking/hiking trailhead is only a mile away as well as hiking in the Roaring Run Natural Area.  The location is hands down the best in the area as it's central to the resorts, town, main area attractions, and State Parks.  Ohiopyle State Park is only a scenic 25-minute drive away as well and is great for rafting and day trips.

Looking for a rustic cabin but don’t want to give up the modern amenities?  No problem!  We offer many of the amenities you are used to at home, such as:

-  High-speed internet and WIFI + repeater for great coverage throughout.
-  2 flat-screen TVs with cable (DVR, On-Demand, Amazon Prime Video, etc.)
-  Strong cellular service (Verizon's network but I assume others as well)
-  Dishwasher
-  Washer/Dryer
-  Full kitchen
-  Keurig with complimentary k-cups and a 12-cup coffee pot
-  Fridge with door ice and water
-  Whole house water filtration (crystal clear water with no “well taste” or smell)
-  And much more :)

For the sake of being conservative, we have the cabin listed as 3 bedrooms, but you could make a case for 4.  The "4th" bedroom is only accessible by going through the 3rd so it "technically" doesn't qualify.  They are separated by a wall with an "accordion-style" divider for a door.  You can see this in the pictures.

There is also an expandable dining room table in the back that can comfortably fit 10 - 12 for larger gatherings.

- Events/Weddings: We do not host events or weddings on our property. However, the neighboring Sana View Farm is a popular barn-style wedding venue, and many guests stay with us when attending events there. During wedding season, you may occasionally hear faint, distant music when events are outdoors.

COLDER SEASON BOOKINGS:

- 4WD/AWD is required during the colder season (typically November–March), regardless of current weather. Our gravel road can remain slick until fully thawed. Guests are responsible for ensuring their vehicle is appropriate for road conditions.

- Snow removal: We plow the road/driveway as needed. Guests may need to shovel/salt (provided) the steps and deck during their stay.

- Fireplace: Wood provided is for indoor use only and intended for normal daily fires, not continuous 24/7 burning. For outdoor bonfires, wood can be purchased nearby. Like most cabins with wood-burning fireplaces, there may occasionally be a mild natural wood scent, especially during colder weather. While most guests do not notice this, guests with sensitivities to wood smoke may wish to take this into consideration.

These notes are provided to help guests determine whether the cabin is a good fit for their needs and expectations.
