## Overview

In 2001 we discovered this little piece of paradise in the heart of the Pennsylvania Wilds and were fortunate enough to end up buying the 24 acres and a hunting cabin which we lived in while we built the main house. I designed it and my husband, sons, and son-in-law built it in 2003. 

One unique thing about Oak Mountain Hideaway is that is is also a live music venue! We have been holding house concerts in our home since 2005 and host musicians from around the world. Irish, Scottish, Jazz, Blues, Bluegrass, and folk musicians play throughout the year. We hold concerts about once per month, so if you like live music, you may want to check out our FB page to find out when the next show will be held.

There is a stream on the property but this land was previously strip mined for coal and so the stream is impacted by Abandoned Mine Drainage (AMD) making it impure but it is nice to hear the water trickling down in the valley.

> Anna Marie and Ed are fantastic hosts! Beautiful, quiet, peaceful, well maintained property. Appreciated the privy and shower so much! And they went above and beyond, helping us pack our ridiculous amount of glamping gear back up to the car. We'll definitely come back...with less stuff.

> Anna Marie & Ed were delightful hosts! They met us upon arrival to the site, and even brought down some cold water and firewood for our stay which I thought was so generous! The property is amazing, quiet, clean and beautiful– we were lucky to have clear skies and saw more stars than we've ever seen, and even woke up to a foggy mountain morning. They have several trails on property you can explore, and firepits for cooking and enjoying. The privy and outdoor shower were lovely surprises as we were prepared for the complete camping experience, but with facilities so nice, of course we used them…

> We loved our stay at Whispering Pines Camp Site! Anna Marie and Ed were very welcoming and continued to check in throughout our stay. The directions provided on their webpage were very helpful. Our tip would be to track the mile up the road because we under estimated the distance and started over. We strongly suggest adding the bundle of wood to your booking. Anna Marie and Ed had it all set up at our site location and it was even covered! We had enough wood to last us two nights. We also explore the trails provided. They were well groomed and easy to follow. We had such a great time and have…
