Due to location, this was not our first choice, but since our first choice was not available, this proved to be just fine. We only stayed one night and did not make use of most of the amenities offered, but we have no complaints on what we did use.

Quilters ….going to the show!

We didn’t realize there was no tv in the house. It was no problem, but it would be nice to have seen some news in the morning. Super nice place to stay. Beds were comfortable and the place was very clean. Lots of coffee available and creamers and sugar! I’d stay there again!

A Great Stay…

My family (8 adults) enjoyed this stay very much. It was roomy and quiet and the outdoor patio was so peaceful. The only thing we didn’t love were the beds… all of them were pretty uncomfortable.

Spring Quilt Trip 2024

Three quilters came for the quilt show and do a little (alot?) shopping. Location was convenient to the show and our favorite shops. Lots of room for us to spread out and play with fabric and patterns. Will definitely keep on the list for future quilt trips.

Mostly hits, some misses

Lots of positives: very clean, comfortable, very nice deck/yard/fore pit combo. Close to some parks for hiking. V quiet area. Bathroom whirlpool was nice as well as Keurig. Misses: very fast drivers on this rural road and front evergreen obstructed clear view to exit driveway; NO TV’s!!!, soft, bouncy master queen bed; no central air made the place hot during upper 80 degree days; no dressers ! Kind of a weird mix for a rental- older furniture, very thoughtful w many details, not so much an others. A few board games, bear decorations everywhere were cute. Pretty odd that “immoral activities” are listed as being against the house rules. Won’t elaborate on that but apparently there is an assumption that there is a universally understood and accepted definition of moral vs immoral. We’d score 8.5/10.

Quiet and well centralized location!

We needed an overnight location for a group visiting the local area for tours the next morning. This place was perfect for our needs, since it had us 15 minutes away from the Wolf Sanctuary of Pennsylvania and Brickerville House. Everything was clean, convenient, and well maintained. The only downside would be that couches and beds could use some updating. One couch is very worn, making it uncomfortable for anyone to sit on and the beds varied between painfully firm or marshmallow softness. Can't always get the bed you're most comfortable with, but definitely feel like the vintage couch could be replaced.

Great location and lots of room but….

I traveled with my mother in law & sister in law. We stayed at this location for 6 days. The location is perfect! Upon entering the home you are immediately hit with a musty mold smell. I am allergic to mold & have asthma, immediately the itching & hives began. We were able to leave the back slider door open at times to help let fresh air in & help air the place out. We had to shut it at night as it was too cold. There is ceiling patch work done in the living room & bedrooms where it looks as though there was water damage at some point. The house was clean, well stocked & roomy. We were provided plenty of clean towels. We each thought our beds were comfortable. The backyard was spacious & beautiful. There is no tv provided, but we kept busy during the day & at night we played games. It was nice not to be distracted by a tv. My sister in law & I utilized the tetherball out back & tried our hands at disc golf. We did enjoy our stay. I would not tell others not to stay here, but if you’re sensitive or allergic to mold just know there is a smell of it. The bathroom in the hallway does not have a holder for the shower head so that was an issue for my older mother in law when she had to shower. There were a lot of cats who visited the house. I believe we encountered 6 different cats. We felt safe in the house. We did have an incident on our last night where a truck pulled up to the house & turned their high beams on & sat there for a couple minutes before leaving.
