At-home coffee

Hike or bike from the door! Situated on 10 acres bordering another 1,300 acres of state forest land, this suite is the perfect getaway for the outdoor enthusiast or those looking for a quiet escape. Despite being in a rural setting, we are just 20 minutes from State College and 30 minutes from Altoona. Centrally-located between two state forests, the Little Juniata River, and hundreds of miles of trails, this is the perfect home base for playing outside or just relaxing in the quiet woods.

The space
The guest suite is attached to our residence but feels like your own space. Access the accommodations via a private entrance off a large covered porch with plenty of seating. This is a lovely spot to sip coffee and listen to the bird songs even on a rainy morning, stretch out and do yoga after a hike or bike ride, or just mellow out and enjoy the view of the woods or watch the kids play in the yard.

Inside, you'll find an open, bright kitchen, dining area, and living room with floor-to-ceiling front windows. The kitchen includes a full-size fridge, gas range and oven, dishwasher, cooking and eating utensils and essentials, small french press coffee setup and hot water kettle. There is a laundry room off the kitchen with a washer and dryer.

The dining table seats 4-6, with additional seating available at the kitchen bar and cozy high top two-seater breakfast nook. A couch and love seat in the living room look out the huge windows to the front of the house.

Upstairs, you'll find a loft with 2 queen-size futons that fold out for additional sleeping space if needed. This space also includes a smart TV, board games, and a variety of books and magazines.

Down the hallway off the back of the dining area, there are 3 small bedrooms -- two with queen beds and one with twin bunks. At the back of the hall is the bathroom, which includes a shower, toilet and sink. Linens and towels are provided.

Outdoors, there is plenty of yard space for adults and kids alike to play. We own 10 acres and have a trail going around the perimeter of the property that you can walk or bike. Aside from the area immediately around the house, most of the property is wooded, with an understory of ferns. We also adjoin part of Rothrock State Forest, which includes many more trails that you can access from our property.

Guest access
You will have access to the entire space that is listed as well as most of the yard and property. The fenced-in backyard area is our private space but help yourself to the spacious side yard and explore the woods on our property.

Other things to note
Note that we (me and my husband) do live in the same building, so there is potential to hear us if we're around. We will do our best to be as quiet as possible when we have guests so that we don't disturb you.

Something else to note is while we can accommodate up to 6 people, there is only one bathroom so that’s something to consider for larger groups.

Neighborhood highlights

We are located in Halfmoon Township, about 10 miles south of State College off Rt. 550 with easy access to I-99 and Rt. 322. The neighborhood is rural and mostly consists of farms, though to the back of our home is a 1,300-acre tract of Rothrock State Forest, which is accessible for hiking and biking from our property.

We are nearby both Rothrock and Moshannon State Forests, the Little Juniata River, and many opportunities for hiking/trail running, biking, paddling, fly-fishing, dual-sport riding, and more.

Despite the rural setting, it's just a quick 15-20 minutes to the northwest side of State College, grocery stores, and food options. Way Fruit Farm is just a few miles down the road and the Port Matilda Hotel (good bar food) is 10 minutes away.
