Downstairs you'll find three more bedrooms and a games room with a bar, pool table, second TV and a library of 50+ movies.

Stay comfortable in every season with central air-conditioning and radiant underfloor heat, a wood-burning fireplace, two refrigerators, dishwasher, and Starlink high-speed Wi-Fi. Outside, two wrap-around covered decks and a 20x20 fire-pit area with a gas grill look out over the forest.

What's nearby
- 200 fenced acres property with 4 marked hiking trails, creeks and abundant wildlife (whitetail deer and turkey are a common sight)
- 25 minutes to Cook Forest State Park; the scenic Clarion River for kayaking, canoeing and fishing
- 10 minutes to Foxburg restaurants and winery, two golf courses, and Clarion town conveniences
- Snowmobiling and snowy-trail walks in winter

If you want to enjoy the wonderful wooded Western PA WILDS but with all the luxury and comfort of home, this is the place to be. Come for a weekend or for a full week - you will NOT want to leave! The ideal space to host your extended family gathering, long awaited reunion or just spending some quality time with good friend.
