Why they chose this property
This property has rich history. It was built in 1832 and was owned by the same family until recent years.
It has beautiful scenery, including it's own little stream, and has lots of amenities, including a patio set, a grill, a firepit, and boat parking if asked for ahead of time.
In short, we believe you will love this house just as much as we do!
We also have a "things to do" book at the house, in case you are looking for adventure.

What makes this property unique
We are within a few miles of Shy Beaver boat launch, located in the quiet community of Cherrytown. We are across the street from a church, and have very few neighbors. Those we do have are very quiet. This is a peaceful place to rest and relax before heading to the lake, visiting with relatives, or exploring all that Central PA has to offer.
