The farm consists of 35 acres of pasture that is certified organic with a few acres of woodland. Buildings consist of a 35’x49’ bank barn with a 35’x49’ loafing area, horse stalls, and a double 4 milking parlor with a 70-gal bulk tank.

Yes, the photo is real. No filters, no editing, no AI. This is what sunrise actually looks like from Hummingbird Hideaway, a 163-acre Centre County mountaintop retreat where the morning fog settles into the valleys below and the ridgelines stack up one behind another as far as you can see. Whether you're picturing a peaceful place to settle into the next chapter or a one-of-a-kind cabin getaway guests will book again and again, this property delivers the setting, the space, and the privacy to make it happen. Perched on a private clearing at the top of the mountain, the 4-bedroom, 3-bath log home was built in 2003 by Crockett Log Homes and is designed for easy, comfortable living. The first-floor primary suite, complete with a gas fireplace and jacuzzi tub, means single-level living is right there when you want it, with three additional bedrooms upstairs for family, visiting grandkids, or guests. The living room's cathedral ceilings and large stone wood-burning fireplace create a gathering space that feels like the heart of a lodge. The kitchen is built for hosting, with an island, propane range, double wall oven, and hickory cabinets handcrafted by a local Amish craftsman, who also built the fireplace mantle and stairs. Solid wood floors run through the living and dining areas, radiant floor heat warms the kitchen and bathrooms, and Marvin windows and doors, central vac, and a 1,000-gallon buried propane tank keep the home efficient and low-maintenance year-round. The Superior Walls basement with outside access is a blank canvas: a game room and bunk area for larger rental groups, a hobby shop, a home gym, or an in-law suite are all within reach. Outside, the covered porch wraps the entire way around the home and faces straight into that view. It's the kind of feature guests photograph and owners never tire of, with room for rocking chairs, outdoor dining, and long evenings watching the light change over the mountains. A fenced yard off the porch keeps pets and little ones close. Two substantial outbuildings add flexibility few properties can match. The insulated 32x60 Fisher Brothers pole shed (2018) is ideal for a workshop, vehicles, or guest gear storage, and the 40x60 TriState pole building (2002) has room for equipment, an RV, or the boat. A township-maintained dirt road with winter plowing provides reliable year-round access, and trails throughout the acreage invite daily walks, hikes, and exploring. The location does the marketing for you. Less than 200 yards from Sproul State Forest and the Salt Lick Trail access road, with State Game Lands 92 nearby, the property sits at the doorstep of thousands of acres of public land. Howard Lake and the Bald Eagle State Forest area are about 15 minutes away for boating, fishing, and paddling. Deer, bear, and turkey are regular visitors, and an elk has even been spotted on the land. Three wooden blinds and two ladder stands convey, making this a turnkey draw for hunting-season bookings or your own fall tradition. Retreat, retire, or rent. Hummingbird Hideaway is ready for whichever you choose. Come see it in person, because as good as the photo is, the view is better.

SHOWINGS START MAY 30, 2026. NEW PHOTOS ARE UP! VIDEOS AND PROPERTY DISCLOSURES FOR EACH BUILDING COMING SOON. Cherry Ridge Cabins is an 11-acre cabin retreat and income-producing hospitality property in Boggs Township, just 25 minutes from Penn State and Beaver Stadium, offering a rare combination of rental cabins, event space, and owner-operator living in the mountains of Central Pennsylvania. Located near Bald Eagle State Park, Sproul State Forest, and Pennsylvania State Game Lands Number 92, this property is positioned for short-term rental demand tied to Penn State events, trout fishing, hunting, hiking, reunions, retreats, and outdoor recreation. The property includes six rentable cabins, a 1,200-square-foot social hall with commercial-style gathering potential, and a 2,000-square-foot contemporary single-family home built in 2004. The home features 3 bedrooms, 2 full baths, vaulted ceilings in the family room, cherry hardwood flooring, hickory cabinetry, an open-concept kitchen/dining/living area, attached 1-car garage, partially finished basement, and multi-level decking. The home could serve as an owner’s residence, property manager quarters, or an additional rental opportunity. Cabin configurations include a rustic log cabin, multiple 2-bedroom units, a 3-bedroom cabin, an efficiency unit, and a 1-bedroom cabin, with an overall sleeping capacity of approximately 27 guests across the property. All cabins include kitchens, living areas, heat, and furnishings. Several cabins are already in strong condition, while others would benefit from cosmetic updates including flooring, appliances, paint, furnishings, and deck refinishing. Structurally, the buildings are sound and positioned for phased improvements over time. The social hall seats approximately 50 guests and includes a kitchen, separate men’s and women’s bathrooms, and year-round usability, creating opportunities for family reunions, church retreats, hunting camps, fishing groups, wellness retreats, corporate gatherings, and Penn State football weekends. Two outdoor pavilions, a functioning cedar-lined sauna, a pole barn, and the original sawmill building add additional utility and character to the property. The location is a major part of the long-term value proposition. The property is approximately: 14 minutes to Bald Eagle State Park and Sayers Lake, 10 minutes to Interstate 80, 5 minutes to State Game Lands 92, 15–20 minutes to renowned trout fishing on Bald Eagle Creek and Spring Creek, & 25 minutes to Penn State University and Beaver Stadium This area draws consistent seasonal demand from Penn State visitors, fly fishermen, hunters, hikers, mountain bikers, and outdoor recreation travelers looking for lodging near Central Pennsylvania’s public lands and recreational corridors. For investors, the opportunity here is not based on the current operation. The current ownership has operated the property in a more traditional and limited capacity without leveraging modern short-term rental platforms such as Airbnb or VRBO. The value lies in what the property can become with thoughtful repositioning, strategic upgrades, and professional marketing. There is room to expand the existing concept with additional cabins, glamping accommodations, enhanced outdoor gathering areas, upgraded HVAC systems such as mini-splits, and stronger event programming. Properties with this level of infrastructure already in place — multiple cabins, event space, owner housing, well/septic systems, and proximity to Penn State plus public recreation — are increasingly difficult to replicate at today’s construction costs. For buyers looking for a hospitality investment property, retreat center, hunting lodge operation, family compound, or cabin rental business near State College and Penn State, Cherry Ridge Cabins presents a compelling value-add opportunity with substantial upside potential.
Tucked away on a wooded lot between Howard and State College, this gutted & refreshed home offers peaceful living with the convenience of nearby shopping, dining, and Penn State amenities.

Outside, there's plenty of space for gardening, for an addition be built on to the home and/or outbuildings.
