Better than pictured!

Check in was easy, there’s updated Adirondack chairs on back deck and extra comfortable sofas in the living room. The lodge itself is so spacious and is perfect for a family gathering! Clean and perfect location for fishing, boating, and swimming in the state park.

Great weekend

Very nice comfortable stay! The place is huge and perfect for a big group. We loved sitting out back on the deck and by the fire. The location was awesome right next to a walking trail and the beach was so close and convenient!

Fantastic Cabin Getaway

The Black Moshannon Lodge was a beautiful and rustic place that we absolutely loved! It was a spacious, yet cozy lodge, and the fireplace really put out some heat. We were surprised about how big it was as well! We will definitely be staying there again in the future!
