Enjoy a relaxing stay in the cabin tucked away in a quiet corner of our farm.
More than just a glamping experience, the cabin is provided with hot and cold running water, a Bathroom with shower and composting toilet, electricity, heat and air-conditioning, a kitchenette for meal preparation and, of course, a great porch where you can enjoy the solitude of Sassafras Hollow.
Our farm is conveniently located near state parks, hiking trails, and streams for outdoor activities. Standing Stone Trail is a mile from the farm and it’s a short drive to The East Broad Top Railroad, Lake Raystown and the Thousand Steps.
Since we operate an organic vegetable farm, seasonal produce is always available.
We are also home to Barn Door Artisans, a collaborative family enterprise offering finished wood products, ceramics and fine art.
Visit the Art Studio, just a short walk down the path, to browse the artwork created from materials from the surrounding landscape.The cabin is located in a small copse of woods a short distance from the main house, providing privacy and quiet. Because our farm is very hilly the cabin is built on a slope in two levels. The lower level is a small 10' x 12' kitchen living area and the upper level is a 10' x 12' bedroom. Electricity and water is available and visitors can cook their own meals and store food. Our property is on a ridge nested between two creeks - The Aughwick and Sideling Hill Creeks. The vista from our barn captures Blacklog Mountain as it travels south to Forbes Road and then past Fort Littleton where the Tuscarora Mountain cuts through to the the southern border of Pennsylvania.
Because of the neighboring creeks, we have an abundance of avian wildlife. Bald eagles, osprey, herons, all manner of buteos and, of course the ubiquitous turkey vulture. During the summer we have so many birds on our property that we often feel we're just sharing someone else's permanent home. Berry season can be a challenge.
Hiking is one of our favorite activities and we're lucky to have the Standing Stone Trail which goes from Cowans Gap State Park to the Mid State Trail in Center County. This trail is accessible just a mile down the road. We're also fortunate to have plenty of opportunity for kayaking down the Aughwick or the Juniata River. Or you can just hang out here and watch the birds until the dusk settles and the screech owl keeps you up all night.
