The cabin sits on one acre of land with a parking lot on one side of the stream and the house/driveway on the other.
Not only are we located close to PSU, but we are .7 miles from Whipple Dam State Park! From hiking, to swimming, to fishing, to hunting, to picnicking, we really are the prime destination for a weekend away!
Our space is warm and welcoming, boasting a wood burning stove in the cozy living room, heated floors in both the bathroom and kitchen, and a lovely dining area that can easily accommodate 6 people!
The Kitchen comes with modern amenities including fridge/freezer, stove, oven, dishwasher, microwave, toaster, Keurig coffee maker, and large sink. The kitchen is stocked with basic dishes, including silverware, cups, plates and bowls, and pots and pans. Complimentary coffee, teas, dish soap, and fire basics also included.
The main living area has a couch that seats 6, and a 50" flat screen TV above the wood burning stove mantel. Throw blankets and pillows are also provided for cozy nights in front of the fire! The property does have Wi-Fi.
The first floor bedroom is equipped with 1 Queen Bed.

The bathroom is on the first floor and has a toilet, sink, large shower, heated floors, and plenty of towels to go around. Complimentary soap ad shampoo are provided.

The exterior of the cabin includes a large driveway that can accommodate 6 decent sized vehicles. A quaint bridge will lead you over Slate Cabin Run and right up to the cabin's front door!
Our large screened-in porch and outdoor grill are great for cookouts with family and friends!
Bikes, Kayaks, Fly Fishing Rods, Canoe all available for an additional fee.

A nostalgic cabin in the woods. It has all the conveniences needed for comfort. Doans Bones BBQ is practically across the street and has excellent BBQ! Wish we had more time to explore the area, but only stayed here to attend a few events at Penn State, which was about a 20 min drive. The owners were very responsive to any questions we texted. It is an old cabin, so it comes with some rough aspects. The bathroom was nicely updated and clean, the beds were comfortable and the overall layout was nice. Thank you for sharing your home.

Quick stay for a Penn State visit
Thank you for a great stay. We enjoyed a delightful 2-night visit. The property is conveniently located a short drive through charming, winding roads to the campus, which made our college tour a breeze. The accommodation was cozy, and equipped with everything we needed for our brief visit. The host was exceptionally helpful, offering excellent tips about local dining and attractions. Recommended for a comfortable and convenient stay!

Penn State game trip
Loved this old cabin. We gotcha late start so I was dark when we arrived. It was a little difficult to find in the dark. Google maps could not find the cabin address that was provided so we clicked on the link in the listing. It actually took us to Hill Street for n Petersburg. We were able to enter Diana Bones bbq into google maps and that is how we found the cabin. Other than directions and finding in the dark everything else was great. Will definitely look at staying here again for future games.

Cool cabin
Cool little cabin. We were staying here for two nights and going to a Penn State football game. It’s about 20 minutes from campus, and involves driving up and down a mountain to get to it. So if you are not a fan of driving on a hilly, country road, this might not be for you.
The house was great. Kitchen was nicely updated as well as the bathroom. Heating worked well and the stay was comfortable. This is an old home, so there are little quirks to it. The most noticeable one is several of the floors are slanted. But I love the character of older homes and I would definitely stay here again.
It is off a main road and cars do tend to whiz by. But, things quiet down by bedtime.

Great stay
This cabin was very well maintained and very homey, matches the listing perfectly. A fine distance from campus for a game weekend, and right next to Doan's Bones Barbecue (though a bit difficult to find, the property really sneaks up on you). Host was very kind and responsive, and provided sheets, towels, soap, water, and laundry detergent (among other things that we didn't use). I would absolutely stay here again.
