Nestled in the woods just 8 miles from State College, this rustic log cabin in Pennsylvania Furnace, PA, is perfect for you and your family to step back in time and relax together. This historic 1-bedroom, 1-bathroom retreat was taken apart, moved, and rebuilt by hand on a family farm overlooking the valley. Visit loved ones at Penn State University or explore nearby hiking trails! Later, you can enjoy the view from the front porch and unwind with board games by the wood-burning fireplace.

We stayed here for a weekend in August and wished we would have stayed longer!
If you need WiFi and don’t appreciate stepping back in time to a simpler life then maybe this isn’t for you, but we had everything we needed and were so grateful for the hosts’ hospitality and property’s charm!
It’s about 10-15 minutes to state college and close to Shavers Creek and many great hiking and fishing options. We recommend and hope to return!
Thank you!
Very clean and well maintained. A fun little cottage to stay in. The host met us for checkin and was generous leaving snacks, milk, cupcakes and bubbles for the kids!

The beauty, history and hospitality were the best we have experienced. We will definitely be returning. I cannot recommend this property enough. The owners greeted us on arrival and departure with warmth. We loved your property.

Kind, attentive hosts, charming cabin (every detail is a work of art!), all our needs were met plus more. Perfect getaway to see my son at Penn State. Will try to return!
