About this property

Peaceful Country Farmhouse Located in a Private Nature Setting

Outside
The visitor will travel over a grated bridge and then continue up a stone-covered lane until they reach a modest, white country home. The home is located on 12 acres of lawn and wooded property, which is enjoyed year round, with wildlife of various types seen daily, such as white-tail deer, squirrel, beaver and fowls that are native to the area. There is a brook that runs through the property, which flows into nearby Muggser Run, the confluence of which is also on the property. Wild trout inhabit the water and is ideal for patient fishermen.

Inside
The home is two stories with 4 bedrooms: two bedrooms with a double bed in each; one bedroom with both a double and a single bed; and one bedroom with a single bed. Bedrooms are all on the second floor. For guests needing bedroom accommodations on the first floor - just ask. There is a pull out couch that converts to a double bed.

Presently, there is no cable, dish or WiFi service, however, DVDs can be played on the TV.

Nearby
Approximately 1 1/2 miles away on White Church Road (At the end of the lane go straight, that will be White Church Road) is Ponduce Farm Market.

Also about 4 miles away in the village of Numidia (Turn right at the end of the driveway, travel on Bear Gap Road until it meets with Route 42. Turn left. That will take you into Numidia.) is Luna Pizzeria, which is located in the center of the village. The pizzeria also delivers.

The property has plenty of parking space for a variety of vehicles, and is located approximately 12 miles from downtown Bloomsburg (home of Bloomsburg University); 10 miles from Knoebels Amusement Resort; 8 miles from the Valley Gun and Country Club in Elysburg; and 17 miles from the Anthracite Outdoor Adventure Area (AOAA) in Coal Township.

Please take note: As of July 2019, fireworks are prohibited on the property as it is a heavily wooded area.

Our thoughts
Lovely very private property with a spacious home. Some updates needed in regard to the furniture in the living room. Also we felt new towels would benefit. The owner was very kind and made the rental simple.

Quintessential PA Farm House perfect for families
We had 8 people in our group so this large house was perfect for us and owner was helpful and communicative. We stayed 2 nights while we visited Knoebels Amusement Park, a short, easy drive from the house. The decor was interesting (the ABUNDANCE of religious items made some of our party uneasy, as some wall hangings in the main entrance to the house expressed disturbing viewpoints) but everything else was lovely and comfortable. The bedrooms are set up perfectly for 2 families, but if you are a lone adult and thinking about taking the room with the one twin, think again if you have a bad back. Adult children and their partners all reported other beds were ok, just not the single twin.

Place to stay over night.
Only thing I did not like was the living room, dark and musty.

About the host

Hosted by Mary Jane Humes

Host profile image
This is the property of Joseph and Mary Jane Humes. Both of us have been life-long residents of the Elysburg/Shamokin area. Currently, we reside in Shamokin, but during the summer, spend a lot of time working., enjoying and maintaining this property.

Why they chose this property

In this peaceful home, it seems that you are stepping back into time as the decor is vintage country. Because it is a home owned by Christians, some of the adornments reflect our religious beliefs.
The large lawn is perfect for anyone (and their dogs) who wants to camp outside. Pitch a tent or bring sleeping bags and ground covers and sleep under the stars.
This is our country home, but we want you to feel like valued guests in the house of a friend.

What makes this property unique

Wildlife is seen daily. White-tailed deer inhabit the property. We are dog friendly!
