We had a great time at this spacious cabin. Hot tub is clean and nice. There is WiFi and satellite cable, which is a luxury! Plenty of towels and bedding. It is a small bit further than 20 mins from PennState. We had to go back and forth to Bryce Jordan Center for a competition and it was about 30 mins each time with or without traffic.

We absolutely loved this place!! The kids missed the Wi-Fi but it gave us more quality time. The kids were able to go spotting at night which they love. We did our Thanksgiving and Christmas and they had it all decorated for Christmas which was just so perfect. Would definitely recommend and go back next year!!

Check in was easy, there’s updated Adirondack chairs on back deck and extra comfortable sofas in the living room. The lodge itself is so spacious and is perfect for a family gathering! Clean and perfect location for fishing, boating, and swimming in the state park.

Short family trip

Cabin was better then we expected, very spacious and the Christmas decorations were an added bonus. Only 25 minutes from Beaver Stadium, we will definitely keep this place in mind for future road trips.
