The living/dining room and the balcony meeting area are outfitted with couches and chairs, a great space for meetings, Bible studies, or just visiting. The large size of the combined living/dining area, also makes it suitable for quilting and scrapbooking groups. The kitchen has a refrigerator, microwave, oven, dishwasher, coffeemaker, dishes and pots and pans, making it ideal for family vacations and church groups. Located just 30 minutes outside of State College, these cabins are perfect if you're traveling to Penn State for the weekend for games, concerts, or graduation.

Interior of Lakeside or Rising Sun Cabin
Hemlock is an older, cozy winterized cabin that can accommodate up to 16 people. Each of its 4 bedrooms has a double bed, so that couples and families can be more comfortable. There are 2 restrooms w/showers, and a central meeting room with kitchenette and fireplace. This building is located about 100 yds. from the Main Lodge, so larger groups can conveniently rent both buildings. This space is perfect for family groups and people traveling in for Penn State football games as well!
Groups renting Hemlock by itself or with the Ouch House pay Hemlock rates and prepare their own meals. Groups renting Hemlock with the Main Lodge pay Main Lodge rates and take their meals in the Main Lodge. Hemlock is used as summer staff housing during June, July and early August and is unavailable.

Hemlock main area
Between the Main Lodge and Hemlock is the Ouch House, which serves as the nurses cabin in the summer. It can be rented by groups using either the Lodge or Hemlock. It does not have a full kitchen, so it cannot be rented by itself. Groups renting the Ouch House with Hemlock pay Hemlock rates. Groups renting the Ouch House with the Lodge pay Lodge rates. The building has 3 bedrooms with a total of six beds, and a newly renovated bathroom with a walk in shower. One bedroom has a double bed. The Ouch House is a very practical space for guests that need private space (guest speakers, leaders, families with babies.).
