Firetower Chalet: Majestic views+private 60 acres

Welcome to the Firetower Chalet, where classic family charm meets breathtaking countryside views! If you're longing to wake up to amazing vistas and immerse yourself in 70 acres of private Pennsylvania wilderness, look no further!

Our chalet draws inspiration from the fire watch towers found in the enchanting western forests. It's all yours to enjoy, and we've designed it with your comfort and joy in mind. On the first floor, you'll find a cozy living area equipped with comfy seating and a smart TV for your entertainment. The fully stocked kitchen is fit-for-a-chef, boasting a refrigerator, electric stove, oven, microwave, French press, Keurig, toaster, and waffle-maker. Oh, and don't forget the bathroom – it's got a spacious shower, sink, and toilet for your convenience.

Upstairs, the master bedroom awaits, showcasing a queen bed with a plush tuft and needle adaptive foam mattress. But the real showstopper is the jaw-dropping panoramic view of the Pennsylvania mountains and countryside, visible from the windows all around. Under the bed, we've stashed some drawers for your clothing and other essentials, including extra linens just in case. Need more space? Upstairs also has a delightful loft area, perfect for kids or another group, complete with a cozy carpet and a mattress.

And that's not all! Outside, you'll be enchanted by the wraparound balcony offering 360-degree views of the countryside – the perfect spot to create beautiful memories with your loved ones. And if you're up for a unique experience, explore our cable suspended bridge leading to a treehouse-style platform. Plus, there's a downstairs patio with an outdoor propane warmer, fire-pit, and a hammock – everything you need to unwind and bask in the beauty of nature.

On top of all this, the Firetower Chalet is nestled on 70 acres of pristine Pennsylvania countryside, waiting for you to explore. Wander along gentle hills, diverse terrains, and private wooded trails – perfect for hiking, biking, or cross-country skiing. Keep your eyes peeled for wildlife like deer, bear, and turkey, and enjoy the natural splendors of the gorgeous Susquehanna valley. It's a secluded and remote haven that promises to make your stay truly special.

Should you need anything or have any questions, we're just a message or call away. Your comfort and happiness are our top priorities!

Venturing beyond the chalet, you're just 3 minutes away from the vibrant town of Bloomsburg, offering diverse offerings, a top-rated theatre group, and activities at Bloomsburg University. And if you're looking for family fun, the #1 family amusement park in the country, Knoebels, is a mere 10-15 minutes away.

Getting to the property may be an adventure, but it's well worth it. Ideally, a 4-wheel drive vehicle is preferred, especially in inclement weather. But don't worry, if you don't have one, we can lend you our trusty farm truck. Two bikes are also available for your off-road explorations on the property.

The Firetower Chalet is a truly unique gem, a cozy retreat inspired by West coast firetowers, boasting all modern comforts. We're more than happy to provide you with information about the area and fun activities on-site.

Whether you're a couple seeking a romantic escape, a small family yearning for quality time, or an adventurous traveler in search of new horizons, our chalet welcomes you with open arms throughout the seasons. So, come and experience the magic of Central Pennsylvania in all its spring, summer, fall, and winter glory. We can't wait to share this enchanting experience with you!

We didn't go to ski, just for a quiet weekend away. It was very secluded and private. Chris was very helpful if needed. The property is very beautiful, my wife and I had a nice two mile walk around the place and saw lots of deer.

Amazing!

The location is awesome! Extremely private! The fire tower is beautiful, clean, cozy and quiet! We saw the snow our first morning drinking coffee in her and saw the sunrise the second morning! The views are awesome! The owner is quick to respond to any questions. Close to town- witching 10 minutes of all the restraints and shops we went to.

In the Woods as Promised 🙂

The quiet, the woods, the morning sun greeting us - all we could have asked for in a retreat. We saw lots of wildlife and the view of the mountains was a mind painting we will take home. The Fire Tower was close to restaurants and anything you would need in Bloomsburg. We had two great days at Knoebels Amusement Park my childhood Happy Place. It could be your adult version too!! Ricketts Glen State Park offered a challenging hike. Lots to do nearby with a cool property to explore.

Drove up, parked the car and hung out in nature until it was time to go

We wanted a break from the city and we really enjoyed this house. We spent lots of time on the upper deck listening to the birds. The view is great. The mowed paths are many and great to walk around on - well marked too. The tree farm is cool to see. It’s a well designed little spot with nice touches of style. Very clean, comfy bed, pillows and sheets, lots of blankets too! We played the in-house guitar and the cajon drum as well. Fun time!

Secluded Getaway, Great Location

Firetower was exactly as described and depicted in the photos. It is a hidden gem secluded on a beautiful property, yet is only 5 minutes from downtown Bloomsburg if you need any essentials. Communication from Chris was proactive in advance and very helpful. Our stay was only 2 days, but it was just what we had in mind for our Wedding anniversary. Highly recommend a trip to Ricketts Glen State Park to see the waterfalls, which was only a ~35 minute drive from Firetower. We certainly have intentions of returning to Firetower again in the future and have already started mapping out our return trip.

Beautiful Chalet and Views

Private and secluded with only a small distance to downtown Bloomsburg. The bridge and sitting area was super neat. Loved the second floor area. Great views. The kitchen had everything we needed (pots, pans, silverware, plates, bowls, etc). Hammock, fire pit, and swinging chair outside was a plus. We walked the property for a quiet stroll. The only downfall, which is expected outdoors in the woods. Lots of mosquitoes. Definitely pack repellent. Will be planning a future visit here or the other Tower!!

Complete Peace and Serenity

My husband and I stayed at the firetower for 2 nights / 3 days in November for our anniversary. We travel several times a year and always look for a more private stay then a hotel room. The firetower is perfect. It is extremely apparent that the owners take pride in this rental. Everything was so well stocked and CLEAN! I have managed a professional cleaning service for over 20 years and this is by FAR the CLEANEST most well maintained rental I have ever stayed in. The decor, amazing, the games and little things to do (books, instruments, puzzles, games, movies etc) are such an added bonus. There were jars filled w individual candies, keurig and drip coffee, spices, GOOD cookware. The view is stunning. There is a firepit and grill for use as well. We explored the hiking trails and saw deer, a possum, fox, rabbits, birds including an impressive woodpecker and even a random cat. The owners provided excellent instructions and communication and are available instantly if any issues arise (we had none). I can not say enough good things about the firetower. You will NOT regret booking this place. We would stay forever if we could lol. Looking forward to booking again.

At peace with nature

The perfect getaway to relax and enjoy time outdoors. We spent the entire three days walking the miles of private trails, sitting on the upstairs deck reading, and sitting around the fire pit at night stargazing and chatting. The host saw that we had everything necessary to create memories for years to come.

Great Getaway

My wife and I wanted to get away for a few days and this location did not disappoint. Easy in/out considering how private it is. We walked on one of the many tails on the property and really enjoyed the peace and quiet. The communication with Chris was simple and without delay. Bloomsburg is literally right up the road and has a quaint downtown with some restaurants. We also spent the day in Jim Thorpe and rode the train and walked around and visited a few shops and restaurants.

Amazing!

Everything about our stay was perfect! The Firetower has everything you need. If you want to stay in and cook your own dinner, everything‘s provided if you want to go out there’s tons of options for restaurants nearby. If you just want to stay on the property and relax and hike around, you see tons of wildlife. If you want to explore, there’s endless options. We did a little bit of both Ricketts Glenn is about 40 minutes away with hiking and waterfalls. Well worth it. We went kayaking at Montour preserve. Also enjoyed our time at the Firetower out by the bonfire and hiking the trails. You definitely won’t be disappointed staying here.

A Resplendent Respite

This property is as beautiful as the pictures show and exactly as advertised. It is the perfect place to unplug and recharge! The view from the deck is amazing, with the sunrise being a particular stunner. The host is very helpful and communicative. The Firetower itself was tidy and cozy with very thoughtful touches. Be prepared to welcome a family flock of wild turkeys wandering through the yard to join you for breakfast or meet some curious deer friends as you explore the property trails. :-)

About the host

Hosted by Chris D

Host profile image
My wife and two children love hosting guests and equally enjoy traveling to new places using VRBO and similar services. We have a tree farm where we built this cabin to enjoy the great property it sits on. We come up to the farm to have wonderful family time and explore the area. We have lived in the area for about 15 years having moved from the North Carolina area.

Why they chose this property

We built the firetower at our tree farm to enjoy more time at the farm. We took 3 years to make the cabin our own and are happy to share it with this wonderful community. This property is one of a kind and inspires many thoughts as you sit and relax in its wonderful spots.

What makes this property unique

The unique feature of this place is the tremendous views while laying in bed in all directions. The outdoor space on the decks as well as the private 60 acres make it an extraordinary experience. It is an active tree farm so please enjoy the trees and get familar with the different species and varietals.
