Summary: 12 of us drove out from Pittsburgh to celebrate the 40th birthday of a close friend. The property was spectacular and was conveniently located close to Seven Springs. The kitchen was perfect for cooking dinner for a big group, the dining room had a great ambiance for facilitating dinner-time conversations, and the double fireplace in the living room kept our entire group cozy through the cold nights. Will definitely be staying here again.

Summary: We have stayed at this property a few times now and it always exceeds our expectations. The home is absolutely gorgeous, the amenities are top notch, and the property owners could not be nicer to deal with. We have been lucky enough to get snow each time we visited and the real working fireplaces make for the most amazing winter getaway. However, we wouldn’t hesitate renting this beautiful home any time of the year! If you’re looking for a perfect mountain stay, don’t hesitate and book this home!

Summary: This historic brick farmhouse is one of the best VRBO properties we’ve ever booked. It has been restored to an authentic Central Pennsylvania delight. The wood floors gleam, the kitchen is fully stocked with housewares, the three bathrooms were spotless and in perfect working order. Beautiful, comfortable beds. There were only three of us, but could have easily included several more. We highly recommend this place!

Summary: We stayed as a family of 4 for a ski weekend and had an incredible time! The house is absolutely lovely, with charming touches and the historical elements intact but modernized throughout. The kitchen has everything you could need (who has actual non-stick pans that are still non-stick in a VRBO?!?!?), the beds were very comfortable, and the living room with fireplaces and library were great places to watch a movie together or grab a quiet place to read. The hosts were excellent at communication, and it was very easy to check in. All in all, we will definitely stay here again next time we go skiing at Seven Springs.

Summary: Perfect stay for a weekend ski and snowboard getaway to Seven Springs. The home was very clean, the kitchen was great for prepping and making meals. Plenty of rooms and bathrooms for all of us. The fireplaces were wonderful, we were there in single digit weather and it was so therapeutic to come home to a warm fire. The house has a lot of character, I loved reading the history connected to the homestead. The library was my favorite room. Definitely want to return next winter. Thank you!

Summary: Our family gathers each year for a ski weekend at Hidden Valley. Our grandchildren love spending family time and getting on the slopes. We stayed at the Kooser-Ankney Homestead last year and loved it. The charm, the wonderful restoration of this 1832 farmhouse, the wood burning fireplaces and especially the helpfulness of Chris and Dawn throughout our stay was exceptional. We could not have asked for anything better. We plan to be back to make more memories.

Summary: Our two families, including four 2 - 6 yr old kids, loved our stay at Chris and Dawn's lovingly renovated farmhouse, set in the rolling hills with views from seemingly every window. The location was great to access skiing at 7 Springs and Hidden Valley, both 15 - 25 minutes easy drive away. We very much hope to return. The house is spacious with ample room for us and our belongings. The house has multiple spaces from two comfortable lounge/TV rooms to a lovely large and very well stocked kitchen to an expansive dining table and three welcoming bedrooms. The house sits pleasantly in farmland with a 50 AMP / 240 volt EV charger at the barn (thank you Chris and Dawn for this!). The house does front onto a reasonably fast road - no noise problems, but does mean keeping an eye on the kids as they explore the tire swing and rocking horses outside. Also, be ready to ask for help getting the TVs to give you want you want as the systems were a little beyond us (or else the batteries in the remotes were flat).
