We are also conveniently located 10 minutes from I-81, a major North/South interstate and 10 minutes from Rt 30.

This is a 160 square foot tiny house/cabin in a small wooded area at the rear of my 2 acre property. A separate 90 square foot bath house is also provided. Both are primitive, ie, no electric or running water. The are some solar lights and candles for nighttime. Enjoy laying in the hammocks with a nice camp fire in the evening. The house is heated with a small wood stove but there is no air conditioning. Cook either on the wood stove or over the fire outside. In the summertime it is nice and private with the surrounding vegetation
Please keep in mind. This is a primitive setting in the woods. It will be hot in the summer and temperature must be maintained in the winter with the wood stove or Buddy Heater.
While I do spray for bugs to the best of my ability, there is a good chance you will encounter at least a few.
We are in a residential country setting, so you may experience other wildlife as well.
In the summertime while the foliage is up it is quite private, although you can still hear the neighbors. In the winter you will be able to see the neighbors as the trees are bare.

Milton and Amy were extremely helpful, especially with clear directions. Our diesel heater went out, so staying at Milton and Amy’s place was truly a lifesaver…having electric hookups made all the difference for us.
It was a safe, comfortable place to stay for the night, and we really appreciated the peace of mind. As a bonus, we loved seeing the chickens…they added such a nice, welcoming touch to the stay

Overview
About
Nestled in the heart of Pennsylvania, Mont Alto State Park offers a tranquil retreat with its 24 acres of lush landscapes. Visitors can enjoy a day of picnicking amid the park's natural splendor, cast a line into the trout-filled waters, or simply revel in the park's historic charm as the oldest state park in Pennsylvania. While camping isn't an option here, the park's serene environment is perfect for a day trip filled with relaxation and scenic beauty.
When to go
The ideal time to visit Mont Alto State Park is during the spring and fall when the weather is mild and the foliage is either blooming or showcasing a vibrant array of colors. Summer offers warm days perfect for fishing and picnicking, while winter provides a quiet, frosty landscape. The park is open daily from sunrise to sunset, but day use areas close at dusk, so plan accordingly.
Know before you go
- Mont Alto State Park is a carry-in/carry-out park, so remember to take all your trash and recyclables with you.
- For those with disabilities, the park offers ADA accessible facilities to ensure everyone can enjoy the natural beauty.
- Always check the weather before your visit and dress appropriately for the season.
- In case of an emergency, dial 911 and notify park staff immediately.
- For more information or to make reservations, call the park office from 7am to 5pm, Monday to Saturday.
