Summary: The Lion Lake house was wonderful. Very clean and very relaxing. There were games and other things that kept a housefull of teenagers busy. The pool table and hot tub were a big hit! We will be back next time we are in town!

Summary: We had a wonderful time in a clean, well-equipped house that comfortably slept three married couples and 8 singles. The pool table and hot tub were big hits, and the nearby pond and state park just added to the enjoyment of our stay, We do a winter retreat every year and rarely repeat a location, but I have a feeling we may be coming back for a second year in a row

Summary: Family members, and I stayed in this lovely house for the Penn State graduation, and Masters Ceremony of my youngest child (also, the youngest grandchild) Our gracious hosts, John & Brennen were BEYOND fabulous! The home is spacious, clean, with many cool amenities. If you're in need of a place in PA (with more comforts than a hotel) I would highly recommend this property. The thoughtful owners provide even the smallest of details for your convenience & enjoyment!
