Ironwood Trail & Private Campground

1 site · Tent5 acres · Boyertown, PA

It took seven years to carve this winding trail and two-level scenic campsite into the wooded hill behind our home. Now completed, I feel inspired to share their solitude and beauty with others who will appreciate it. From the top of a steep drive, a brief but precipitous hike leads you high up very quickly through a mature forest to some steps that lead the first of two camping locations leveled within clefts of rocks forming a pair of overlooks. A soft, level campsite awaits you there under a canopy of trees where you will find everything you'll need for a small-scale deep forest outing. The lower level either stands alone (1-2 persons) or serves as a base camp for the Northwest Expansion area (3-4 persons) a very short hike away. (Please inquire about additional campers.) The expansion features a roomy 13 x 15ft groomed tenting surface, a stone fire ring with steel fire pit, and plenty of extra space to spread out. It provides an additional layer of privacy and a (leaf-permitting) northwest view that usually includes a sunset. [Note: Reservations include use of both the lower level and the upper Northwest Expansion camping areas. Keep in mind that the technical nature of the trail and terrain makes it unsuitable for most children under 10 years old.] Hundreds of feet away, there are a few homes residing below the camps, but you are high enough above the world below to enjoy a sense of separation from it. Were these camping areas part of any state or commercial campground in Pennsylvania they would easily be among the best tenting sites in the state. Even among Hipcamps we were awarded a top-ten rating in 2018 and 2019+ - and we've improved since then. People love it here. Guests will find a huge, well-stocked chest of supplies at the lower level to furnish virtually any extra thing(s) that may help you camp in comfort, from a Coleman cookstove and table, an air pump, a kettle, a 8x10 tarp, plates and cups and cutlery-there's even a Scrabble game and playing cards. You get the idea. ** We ask our guests to arrive prepared with their own supplies and to use the supply box as a backup for items that may have been forgotten or to fill in for things they do not want to purchase for a single outing.** (Please do not depend solely on the camp supplies to meet ALL of your camping needs!) We took items on most camping lists and tried to have them waiting in the box so you can visit without worrying about forgetting anything. Firewood bundles can be purchased at any time during your stay. We try to keep an abundant supply in a woodpile at the trailhead that you purchase as needed via cash, Paypal or Venmo. Wood can easily be gathered, there are even hatchets and hand saws in the supply box for cutting fallen branches down to size. We also provide a two-person hammock, plastic Adirondack chairs, battery powered lanterns, citronella torches, etc. Cell chargers and jugs of drinking water are available upon request. The woods are teeming with resident species of woodpeckers, owls, warblers and more, and vultures and hawks and can almost always be seen riding thermals overhead. If you're lucky the turkeys will come to roost in the woods above the area as they often do. The best part is that no one else will know you are up there. In addition to overnight stays, daytime and evening hours are available too for morning bird walks, lunch breaks, herbal retreats, sunset cookouts--whatever guests might imagine doing in the privacy of the outdoors. Tree climbing and treetop camping are welcome and encouraged for anyone looking for a good place to hang their gear and enjoy the view. There are scores of great campsites waiting to be discovered up there for experienced and responsible climbers. Please check out our reviews for more relevant details and feedback from our guests. We hope to see you here sometime soon!

Cabin: Hot Tub, Grill, Lake, Trails

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.

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.

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. There are travel guides, cookbooks, history books, and novels everywhere. Titles by Ernest Hemingway, Louisa May Alcott, Neil Gaiman, David Baldacci, Suzanne Collins, William Shakespeare, and more. In the master bedroom there are a number of children books and nighttime stories for the kiddos. And throughout, you'll enjoy fast Wifi at an excellent 800 Mbps - suitable for everyone's devices. 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. There is a sofa cover in the second floor coat closet for your convenience - that way your puppers can sleep or sit with you on the sofa risk free. There are doggie bags, bowls, and paw cleaning rags for you here.
