Fishertown House | A Norman Rockwell setting one hour from State College

3 Bedroom House in Fishertown, New Paris

This property, while in the country, is still close to many interesting activities. The house is conveniently located near Johnstown, Altoona, Bedford and State College. The guest house is just 10 minutes off the turnpike.
There are brochures in the guest house for information on local places to visit. The brochures will direct guests to everything from spa's, shopping, antiques, bike trails, museums, covered bridges, hiking, skiing, and so much more. Very close to Shawnee state park and Blue knob state park.
I have been a life long antique and folk art collector as well as a shop keeper for over 25 years. The guest house showcases all that I love, antiques, folk art, quality reproductions coupled with my commitment to provide all the comforts of home. One of our guests wrote "the house is a great respite to decompress from the daily grind, sitting on the back porch listening to the birds sing."
This three bedroom house is on a 144 acre farm that is rich with history. The Spring Meadow farm was deeded in 1796 and the earliest owners were Quakers. Some of the Quakers that lived on this farm were involved in the underground railroad. Another interesting fact is just before the civil war President Buchanan would visit here. In the 1880's senator John M. Reynolds bought the farm at a sheriff sale. He had the road paved between the barn and the train station so he would have a smooth horse and buggy ride when he needed to head to Washington. It was the only paved road in the entire county. That is a sampling of the history here.
The guest house is nestled between the 1840's house and the barn. Come sit on the screened in back porch and sip coffee, tea, or drink of choice and enjoy the scenic views and the wildlife (birds, ground hogs, and deer). In the evenings you can grill out on the porch, swing in the hammock,or have a bon-fire. A great place to unwind with all the amenities of home.
We have hosted reunions, birthdays, quiet getaways and even weddings. Rent our Guest House and revisit life in simpler times.
Try a women's weekend! I have had many groups of women who have come and enjoyed a girls weekend. Some shopped, some cooked, some did crafts, some just enjoyed chatting with their friends, some have had a wine tasting party, and some have celebrated birthdays. No matter what they came to do, they all have enjoyed this guest house. Many are planning return visits. You can't go wrong spending a weekend with your girlfriends.

Summary: We came up for my brothers celebration of life service. We drove up from South Carolina. We got a call from the host at 5:00, to ask our arrival time. We let them know it would be late. They went and opened the house and turned on some lights inside and out, so we did not arrive in the dark. The home was amazing. The antiques were beautiful. The beds were very comfortable. We watched the sunrise on the back porch with coffee. The yard and fields were very busy with deer, rabbits looking for breakfast. It was a very busy and quick trip. We left early Sunday morning after coffee and sunrise on the back porch. This was 7 minutes from my brother’s home. So the location was perfect. It was a very fast and emotional weekend for us. Coming back to this home at the end of the day was a God send. The warmth and peace, as well as the sounds of spring night was amazing. We will be staying again! Thank you for having us.

Summary: This place is cozy country comfort at its best. Five of us had our annual knitting retreat in this super clean farm house. It is in south central PA but far enough away from the Penn State/State College craziness. There are two porches to enjoy the gorgeous views, one of which is enclosed. Definitely recommend!

Summary: We are five women in our 60s who have been friends since childhood. One lives in Philadelphia and the others in NE Ohio. The house is the mid-point and close to Bedford where we always spend the day shopping and dining. The house has plenty of room for all of us and has all the necessities. The beds are very comfortable.

Summary: Our family has stayed at this property several times. The house is quaint and is satisfactory for our short family trip. Using the property was easy and it had all of the basic amenities described. The WiFi was a little unreliable and improving this would be a nice upgrade. As long as you don't want modern styling or accommodations, this is a good property to rent.
