Looking for a place that feels secluded from its siting inside of a forest, yet is only 15 minutes (at most) drive to shopping, restaurants, movies and more!? Welcome to our little slice of heaven!
The Cabin at the HOMS (House of Many Stairs) was relocated to this historic Pennsdale, PA Underground Railroad property from near Altoona, PA in 2005. Carefully deconstructed, each piece was numbered, moved, reconstructed and rebuilt with new concrete slab foundation with crawl space, new chinking, a raised roof finished with metal and placed among the forest of trees on a 3.5-acre site.
Access to the Cabin is via private road and driveway with parking for 1-2 cars. Additional parking is available at the HOMS property barn.
In 2023 the Cabin was assigned its own address, water and sewer was connected to the property and a new a full bathroom and kitchenette were added as well as two mini-split heating and air conditioning units and Xfinity high-speed internet with Fire Stick and major streaming services for modern creature comforts. Available for overnight stays or for short-term reservations for hosting small gatherings (12-16 people) such as baby or wedding showers and small birthday or holiday parties.
