Fairview Farms Airfield
17 sites · Lodging, RVs, Tents66 acres · Pine Grove, PA
The 66-acre property has been licensed as an airport (PS20) since the 1980s. It is currently an active, private airport. We don't sell fuel or offer services beyond camping so we primarily have only air traffic with few to no landings each year. In other words, it is very quiet here except during the occasional low pass. We are very eager for pilots to fly in and camp out! The beautiful sunsets and stargazing night skies are a real treat for anyone that comes to visit. Lots of deer, birds, and other wildlife can be seen out and about. Bring your telescope and binoculars to view all the property has to offer! Note that we are always working to improve our slice of heaven, thus we do have tools, vehicles, and equipment stored around the farm that if not used now will be one day. We appreciate your understanding that some areas are used for our personal / farm storage. If you're not into looking at our farmware, there are a few nearby campgrounds.
The hot tub is located next to the owner's home. Guests are welcome to use this at any time but must reserve and pay for a time slot. * Book this through the Extras *
We are within walking distance of Swatara State Park and close to the Appalachian Trail. Short drive to the local winery, bowling alley, pub/diner, and movie theater. Grocery stores and gas are also nearby. Miles of hiking, rail trail, single-track mountain biking, and kayaking are all right here! See our kayak and bike rentals under extras!
Hershey Park is approximately a 30-minute drive from our location. Rausch Creek, Anthracite, and Reading off-road areas are also nearby.
Note: Monthly rental discounts are available. Work-stay exchange programs are available. We are always looking for good reliable part-time help on the farm! Please ask!
Fall leaves colors are looking awesome! Come enjoy the leaves by day and stars by night beside your campfire!

Conewago Glamp and Paddle
1 site · Lodging8 acres · Dover, PA
Enjoy 8 beautiful, secluded acres on the Conewago Creek at Bald Hill, Northern York Co. My homestead was once part of the Conewago Turf Farm. It borders the creek a length of 1100 feet, mostly maintained with easy access. Camp is at the base of a steep section of the Conewago Mountains, creating privacy and protection from wind and afternoon sun. This is not a whole house rental. I have a one bedroom, queen size bed, kitchenette, private restroom and outdoor shower with on demand hot water. There's plenty of room for tent or van camping. Please see pictures for detail. I live in the house above the glamping quarters.
Plenty of good fishing and paddling here. I offer shuttle service for 1 or 2 day float trips, paddle in one day, paddle out the next day. Canoes, kayaks, paddles and PFD's are included in the price of your stay.
The Conewago is very beginner paddling but remote, very clean and full of wildlife. Gifford Pinchot State Park is 7 miles away. I have two paddle boards if you want to paddle the 3 mile lake. This adventure would require a short hike out to a parking area.
Relax in a wood fired Norwegian sauna and cook in a Peruvian wood fired earth oven or cook under the stars over an open fire. Firewood is also included. Foodies will rejoice here.
I live and work here, part time blacksmith and wood worker. I'll assist you in any way or do my best to stay out of your way.
Wildlife love it here, I think you will too.

Brand new Keystone 8 x 18 ft Hideout Camper is waiting for you. Close to shopping, dining, and work. Enjoy your own private shower and bathroom inside the camper along with a kitchen and fold down Murphy bed. I also have a shed for storage with a 5 x 5 x 5 space for your items. On site parking for no cost is within a few feet of your camper. The camper is plugged into shore power and has a microwave, A/C, and charging outlets for phone and other items.

The lot is spacious but is about a 1/4 acre not 1 acre. The website won't let me put less than a acre.

1 site · Lodging1 acre · Mount Gretna, PA
Your senses will be overcome with relaxation as you curl up by the crackling wood oven on the plush couch.
Cozy up on the sofa and play a movie for the family, or…
Indulge your eyes on panoramic views of luscious forest visible everywhere through floor to ceiling windows.
Feast your ears on sounds of songbirds or the gentle swooshing of a lake breeze through the leaves.
Watch the sun set into shades of orange and pink as you sip a crisp local wine on the wraparound porch.
As you drive up to this beautiful home, you'll be greeted with its red façade with steps leading to the cabin.
When you make your way up the steps and cross the threshold, you'll instantly find yourself in paradise: a fully stocked modern cabin with every amenity you might need in order to enjoy yourself yet feel at home.
"Casa Gretna Treehouse" - as it is lovingly called - is a thoughtfully furnished cabin situated in some of Central Pennsylvania’s best nature...
It's fit for up to six guests looking for a modern yet close-to-nature adventure.
The relaxed and quiet atmosphere here, coupled with medium-firm plush beds fitted with quality sheets (and darkening blinds in each room), guarantees you'll wake up each morning feeling refreshed.
This beautiful Mt Gretna cabin rental features two unique living rooms. After a long day of fun, you can sink into any of the comfortable sofas and chairs they each offer.
Anywhere you decide to sit you'll be received by large windows, giving you access to the rich views which make you feel like you're among the trees.
And although T.V. is optional when you're in the mountains... there are two high definition Smart television's here for you.
When it's time for a hot meal or coffee or tea, you may be able to see deer grazing on grass and shrubbery from the large window in the kitchen. A set of binoculars on the windowsill await your curiosity.
Pots, pans, plates, glassware, utensils, blender, toaster, a toaster oven, crockpot, and every common kitchen utensil and tool are available for you. Sippy cups, plastic tableware, and a high chair are available for your little ones.
There is a dishwasher and tablets for you to use. As well as dish soap, new sponge, a bottle cleaner, and dish rags if you prefer that.
The gas range stove gives you the ability to whip up a meal for six or a beautiful brunch to enjoy on the deck or in the dining space.
And there's a drip coffee maker, french press, and tea kettle with plenty of coffee, decaf, and teas (both caffeinated and herbal) for your utmost convenience.
When you want to enjoy a meal together, there's a lovely wood dining table for you all to share.
The dining table seats four, but foldable dining trays are there to accomodate more.
There's also a charcoal grill with utensils for you to enjoy cooking outside. With plenty of outdoor seating at your disposal.
The master washroom has two sinks, comfortable toilet with a bidet, large bath tub, and always has a bath tray & bath bombs for you to unplug, take a nice hot bath, and forget about the world.
For your convenience, there is a heater right above the tub so you can step out of the shower feeling warm and refreshed.
Body soap, shampoo and conditioner, hand soap, Q tips, dental floss picks, extra toothbrushes, 2 hair dryers, extra toilet paper, and clean towels/wash rags are a few of the amenities you can expect to be provided for you.
As you waltz your way down to the first floor, you'll notice a cast iron wood oven.
Grab some firewood, a Duraflame log, and matches from any local gas station or grocery store, and cozy up next to it for a truly authentic cabin experience.
In this section of the cabin, you have a poker table with a real Hard Rock Casino Las Vegas poker set, Scrabble, Uno! Flip, Pictionary, Heads Up!, Bluetooth Karaoke mic, Scattegories, and about 8 other board games.
The TV here is fitted with a vintage Nintendo 64 with over 600 games for your enjoyment.

And there is also a half bathroom with hand soap and plenty of toilet paper here. As well as a space heater, dehumidifier, and clothes drying rack if you choose to use them.
Overall, the house is decorated with throw pillows and blankets, lighting fixtures, plants, art work, and books.

Stepping outside, you will have a 3-4 seater hot tub in a screened sun room with plenty of seating around so the whole family can enjoy time together, with ash trays for smokers.
The cabin sits on nearly an acre of raw wilderness begging for you - or your furry companion - to explore.
We love dogs, and we understand how hard it can be to travel when you have to leave your furry friends at home.
