About this property

Brand new house to be completed April 30-May 15. House pictures are shown under construction. We are on track to be completed early in May.

3/18 - Wall painting is complete. Cabinets are installed and the first floor tile has begun.

We love the views and the quiet surroundings. Enjoy the first floor primary suite with direct access to the large deck to enjoy your morning coffee. We designed and built this house to capture the mountain top views. The Great Room, Loft, Balcony and Deck all offer access to these magnificent views. Each bedroom facing the rear of the house has large windows to capture the vista. Use the open kitchen or the outdoor grill to prepare meals. Take in the stars by our firepit with ample firewood provided. Sit on the deck or front porch to enjoy a drink and relax. Explore the 27 acre property using the hiking trails.

Take a 15 minute drive to the Tatman Run beach or boat ramp access Raystown Lake. Or explore the Balanced Rock at Trough Creek State Park. Pizza, ice cream and groceries are available by a 20 minute drive to Saxton. In the fall you will enjoy spectacular scenes as the leaves turn.

We provide all linens, towels, a fully equipped kitchen with two dishwashers, a large gas range and spacious island. Gas grill and plenty of firewood for fire pits will be provided.

This house is perfect for a multi-family gathering, reunion, retreat or wedding.
