Built in 1906, this house has been in our family for four generations, and it carries that mix of antique charm and modern comfort that makes it feel like home the moment you walk inside. The Space The home is designed for families and groups, with flexible sleeping arrangements for up to 10 guests. \* Master Bedroom (upstairs): King bed with a new hybrid mattress, plus a desk workspace for those who need a quiet spot to check in with work. \* Second Bedroom: Full-size bed, perfect for another couple or older kids. \* Third Bedroom: Two twin beds, a great fit for kids or friends. \* Additional Sleeping: A queen air mattress, a twin air mattress, and a foldable 4-inch memory foam mattress, with extra sheets and blankets provided. The living room has a comfortable sofa with chaise and an antique chair, plus carpeted floor space if kids want to spread out with toys, puzzles, or a movie night. Right next door, the dining room table seats six comfortably for family meals, games, or catching up after a day of exploring. Kitchen & Dining The kitchen is well-stocked with all the basics (and then some) for preparing meals at home. You’ll also find a propane grill outside for those summer evenings when nothing beats burgers or hot dogs with a view of the woods. Bathrooms There is one full bathroom on the second floor and an additional toilet and sink in the basement. A note about the main bathroom: it’s small and quirky — a retrofit from when the home was built without indoor plumbing. Taller guests may find the vanity close to the toilet, but it’s fully functional and stocked with towels, toiletries, and unscented laundry soap (so you can pack lighter). Outdoor Space \* Front Porch: Spacious and shaded — the perfect spot for morning coffee while listening to the creek. \* Back Porch: A practical “mud room” area for dogs or extra storage, with peaceful views of the trees. \* Yard: Plenty of space for kids to play or for sledding in winter (sleds provided). \* Parking: Room for multiple vehicles, including trailers if you’re bringing ATVs for Rock Run Recreation Park. Pet-Friendly We welcome pets! Dog bowls, towels for muddy paws, and treats are provided to make travel easier. Please register your pets when booking ($25 fee). Pets must stay off the furniture and be cleaned up after in the yard. Cat guests are also welcome, but please take care to protect our furniture and curtains from claws (you know your pets best). Location & Things To Do Our home feels private and wooded, but you’re just minutes from grocery stores, restaurants, and local attractions. Guests often spend afternoons visiting nearby family, attending local events, or exploring the area: \* Prince Gallitzin State Park (23 min): Picnicking, boating, fishing, swimming, and hiking trails. \* Ghost Town Trail: A beautiful walking and biking trail built along a historic rail line. \* Rock Run Recreation Park (15 min): Miles of ATV trails. \* Johnstown Children’s Museum (35 min): Interactive exhibits for kids. \* Seasonal Fun: In winter, kids can sled in the yard; in summer, explore local festivals and fairs. We’re also within driving distance of Indiana University of Pennsylvania (35 min) and St. Francis University (25 min) — perfect if you’re in town for a graduation, sports event, or family visit. Guest Info & House Rules \* Rate includes 2 guests; $10 per person per night for additional guests (up to 10 total). \* Please register all guests and pets in your booking. \* No smoking or vaping inside. Smoking is allowed on the front porch if all butts are disposed of properly. \* No shoes inside (light-colored carpet). A boot tray and towels for pets are provided. \* Please respect property boundaries — our yard ends at the fruit trees on one side and the creek on the other. Thoughtful Touches Our cleaner, Debbie, always adds seasonal decorations and leaves a basket of snacks to welcome you. We want the house to feel like more than just a place to stay — it’s a place to gather, recharge, and make memories. Whether you’re here for family, events, or just the peacefulness of the woods, we hope you’ll enjoy the cozy, quirky charm of our home as much as we do. Local Flavor & Seasonal Fun We share local recommendations, seasonal events, and behind-the-scenes updates from the house on our Facebook page, 'Peace of PA'. Feel free to check it out before or during your stay! ## Property amenities ### Internet - Available in the house: WiFi ### Parking and transportation - Parking on site ### Kitchen - Coffee/tea maker - Cookware, dishware, and utensils - Microwave - Oven - Refrigerator - Stovetop - Toaster ### Dining - Dining table ### Bedrooms - 3 bedrooms - Bedsheets provided - Sofa bed ### Bathroom - 1.5 bathrooms - Hair dryer ### Living spaces - Dining table ### Entertainment - TV ### Outdoor areas - Barbecue grill - Garden ### Laundry - Laundry facilities - Washing machine ### Work spaces - Desk ### Comfort - Air conditioning - Heating ### Pets - Pet friendly ### Suitability/Accessibility - Smoking not allowed ### Services and conveniences - Iron/ironing board ### Safety features - Carbon monoxide detector (host has indicated there is a carbon monoxide detector on the property) - Smoke detector (host has indicated there is a smoke detector on the property) - First aid kit - Fire extinguisher ### General - Garden ## Similar properties ![TV](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/102000000/101010000/101006800/101006729/w527h683x260y0-8ab902d3.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Log Cabin in Farm Country Setting Ebensburg - Kitchen - Free WiFi - Air conditioning - Outdoor Space 9.6 Exceptional 13 reviews [](https://www.expedia.ca/Hotel-Search?startDate=2026-01-05&endDate=2026-01-06&selected=101006729&PinnedHotelID=101006729&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Exterior](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/83000000/82800000/82799700/82799672/3115e1ee.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Gorgeous, remote lodge on 100+ acres, 15 min from downtown Indiana Indiana - Pet friendly - Free WiFi - Air conditioning - Gym 10 Exceptional 17 reviews [](https://www.expedia.ca/Hotel-Search?startDate=2026-01-05&endDate=2026-01-06&selected=82799672&PinnedHotelID=82799672&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![House (2 Bedrooms) | Interior](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/122000000/121530000/121528000/121527938/3387c7ae.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### 8 Private Acres: Little Mahoning Creek Cabin!
