Beautiful cottage in Black Moshannon state forest! Perfectly clean and well stocked kitchen. Worked out ideally for 6 of us. After traveling 5 or 8 hours from NC and western OH it was easy to relax and enjoy time with each other. Host has everything as expected so communication was a breeze. Although it is extremely pet friendly, we did not bring pets this time. Bathroom was wonderful. We highly recommend. Drive carefully the last few miles, area has abundant wildlife. We saw a lot of deer and turkey.

Graduation Party Venue

The house/cottage was spacious. It accommodated our large party of 30 ppl easily. We used the outside lawn most of the time. Owners are building so the outside view is a little messy with dirt piles around the back yard which was not previously disclosed. There was a lack of outlets in the kitchen for hot food crockpots on the island but made due around the living area inside. The owners live beside the rental so there was not much privacy, if you are looking for that kind of setting. All in all the rental worked for our party and the owners are very nice.

Moshannon hiking

All was good. Complete kitchen. Good bathrooms. Good beds; good towels. Only negatives: 1). We bought several light bulbs to replace ones that we burned out 2). The downstairs bathroom had a urine smell. Not sure if it was human or pet.

Lovely house near Black Moshannon State Park

We stayed here over PSU Parents weekend with our son and friends. The house is roomy with a nice comfortable common area. Kitchen was well equipped. Beds were comfortable. Furniture and decor is all updated and in great condition. Our dogs loved exploring the yard. It was a short walk to the trails at Black Moshannon State Park.

Awsome places

Very nice place and being our first family trip and very first time doing vrbo we could have been happier. However write the information down to access the property first because once you get there, there is no cell service at least with verizon and straight talk. We you get into the house the have a very nice little book that goes over the rule and has passwords and such incase you forget. We would definitely stay again.

Perfect rental for the SSRT trail system

While it's a perfect location for many other hobbies, we rented this house to ride on the Snow Shoe Rails to Trails system. With a short trip down the road you're on your way to the SSRT Black Bear Trailhead. After that its game on as we did 95 miles and 102 miles in 2 days crusing up to Bloody Skillet and back. There is a lot more riding to do but we just ran out of time. The property manager is in the know of the local spots and can guide you on where to ride. Parking is great for trucks and trailers. We backed in 2 F150s with 14ft and 18ft trailers with zero issues. A third truck/trailer/utv combo is easily doable. A forth truck and trailer combo may get tight while trying to keep off the grass. The kids loved the place as they immediately swarmed to the swing and games. We didnt utilize the fire pit, smores, or patio but it's all there if you want it. The house was spotless and its dog friendly. With AT&T i did not have cell service and my brothers Verizon phone had some cell service. The WiFi was great as it powered my phone downloading Gopro videos, the kids tablets, and streaming to the TV at the same time. I'm thrilled with my visit and cant wait to plan the next one. Andrew

Great Property

We had a nearby family reunion and this was a great place to stay. My mother in law has limited mobility and mostly uses a wheelchair. The entrance and first floor bathroom was easily accessible. The kitchen was well stocked and had everything we needed to make a couple of dishes to take to the reunion potluck. Cell reception was poor but the wifi was excellent. The cottage was clean and comfortable. We would definitely stay there again.
