About this cabin rental
The Mountain House - This lovely, rustic cabin features 4 bedrooms and modern comforts. Nestled in Rothrock State Forest, you're less than 1 mile from Whipple Dam State Park and 12 miles from State College. Perfect for those who enjoy outdoor activities (hunting, fishing, hiking, swimming, boating, biking, skiing, or snowmobiling); and for families and friends who want to spend time enjoying the activities and amenities in State College and the Penn State campus.
The 4 cozy bedrooms include two rooms each with a full bed, one room with 2 twin beds, and one room with a queen bed. The full bathroom and primary bedroom are located on the main floor.
Enjoy a meal, play games, or relax with a drink while listening to the birds on the large, screened-in porch on the side of the cabin. You can even bring your air mattress (or bring out one of our extra mattresses) and sleep out there - enjoy camping in the woods with indoor plumbing and without the bugs! Another screened-in porch along the front of the house provides additional relaxing, entertaining, and storage space. The main living space includes a fully-equipped, well-stocked kitchen with seating for 4, a large dining area (seats 8), and plenty of seating in the great room. The lofted upstairs features 3 private bedrooms. Pets and events are conditionally allowed. The parking areas outside allow for plenty of cars, including a camper, RV, or boat. All linens and towels are provided.
We are pet-friendly! Bring your dog (2-dog maximum) for an additional $50 per stay. Please let us know upon booking if your pet will be coming with you.
Are you planning to go to the football game or thinking about spending the day at the nearby beach? We have you covered. We offer a $100 tailgate/picnic package with tent, table, propane grill, utensils, chairs, and much more - you just provide the food! Let us know upon booking.
If you'd like to host a graduation party, birthday party or special occasion while you stay with us, please reach out for details.

We came up to visit family and take a college tour at Penn State. This would be a great location for anyone coming up for a college tour-or game! Only one suggestion- a mirror in each bedroom to cut down on traffic in the one shared bathroom. Super cute and well equipped! Thank you!

We had people travelling from NEPA and Northeast Ohio to meet up for a birthday. Everyone commented on how great the space was, on how clean everything was, and simply how cute everything was. Communication with the host was great. We booked months in advance and every time I posed a question to the host I received a quick answer. The host even made sure to recognize the birthday we were celebrating. The kitchen had everything we needed, the grill was great. My husband commented that we should stay here again should we ever find ourselves out that way. Thanks for a great weekend!

Our stay at the cabin was really nice - the perfect spot to meet up with family. It was very clean, comfortable, and well-appointed. Location is great for outdoor exploration, as well as convenient to State College. Communications with the hosts was easy and responsive.

Details of this home show the host cares about you as a guest. We were there for outdoor recreation and the state forest, but we could see why the place would be popular for Penn State Games. Any drawbacks were overshadowed two-fold by the positives. For instance, road noise from close proximity to Route 26 was countered by very convenient access and a quiet interior. The view of the back of a commercial pole building was countered by forest surroundings, a private screened in porch, and no other neighbors in sight. The age of the cabin was countered by great character, a super vibe, comfortable beds, efficient climate control, and more. The kitchen was so well stocked, I could have made banana bread with our bruised bananas if I had had time! The host answered every question I had with kindness and efficiency. The listing is very accurate. Keep in mind, there is only one bathroom and no washer/dryer, outdoor space beyond the porches, or garage access. But who wants to do laundry on vacation?! And the porch is fantastic and the trees keep the cars shaded and cool. Finally, the location was absolutely perfect for exploring the best of what the beautiful forest has to offer. This one is a winner!
