PA Wilds Mtn Cabin, 8 pvt acres in state forest, near Elk Herd & 2 State Parks

Cedarwood Lodge is a mountain cabin on eight forested acres surrounded by the Moshannon State Forest with access to thousands of acres for exploring nature directly from the grounds. Only 4 miles off PA I-80, Exit 111, the cabin provides easy access to Parker Dam and S.B. Elliot state parks and the nearby Elk Herd (Rocky Mountain elk reintroduced in 1913 have prospered) and Elk Scenic Drive. Don't miss the spectacular Mountain Laurel Driving Tour to view the PA State Flower that proliferates throughout the mountain forests each spring.

The Lodge is completely equipped including linens, all kitchen needs, microwave, gas cook stove and gas grill, coffee maker, toaster, TV/VCR/DVD (no TV reception), phone, wood burning stove/fireplace, and full bath with tub and shower.

Homemade bread, and sweet rolls or muffins are provided for your first morning's breakfast. Coffee and tea provided.

Deer, turkey, foxes, and an occasional bear can be observed making their way past the Lodge. Enjoy dark skies with easy access to the 'middle of nowhere' - just a 15 minute drive (12 miles) to Clearfield or 20 minute drive to DuBois.

It is easily accessible from the main highway, yet provides privacy and a feeling of seclusion. The Lodge is a great place for family get-togethers, a romantic get-away for two, or a gathering of friends.

Some comments from our guests:
'...But the best things were the walks along the logging roads, beaver ponds, flowers starting to bloom, and the peace and tranquility of the backwoods.' Ralph, Nancy, Tucker, Keisee and Marlie, from Novelty, Ohio
'Our drive was 5.5 hours, but it was worth it. We are sad to leave this hideaway to return to the stress of the city.' Amy and Pete from New York City
'We wanted to renew our friendships, enjoy nature, and escape the hustle and bustle of life. We wanted to laugh and talk late into the night. Here at Cedarwood, it all happened.' Barb, Ruth, and Diane from Evans City, PA
'We enjoyed three of the best days of our lives here! This is an absolutely wonderful place.' Chuck and Lori - newlyweds

Although there is not onsite swimming, the cabin is located 2 miles from two state parks which have swimming, boating, nature center, hiking trails of all degrees of length and difficulty. There are beaver dams within walking distance of the cabin.

Everything We Hoped For AND MORE!!
The cabin was wonderful! It had everything you could possibly want or need in a forest getaway: fully stocked kitchen, plenty of washroom supplies, games, movies, books, blankets - it was all the comforts of home in a beautiful forested setting in PA’s Elk country. Our host was very thoughtful in her communications leading up to our stay, and then again while we were there with well thought out directions for the cabin, how to get around the area - even where the best grocery shopping is and how to get there. She left fresh baked goods in the cabin, along with the lights on in anticipation of a possible arrival after dark. Honestly one of the best rental vacations we’ve ever had - and we’ve had a lot! It was everything we’d hoped it would be and more. We loved our time at Cedarwood Lodge! HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!!

Very cozy and comfortable
The cabin was easy to get to with great instruction. The house was well stocked with everything we needed. We spent our evenings out by the fire pit roasting marshmallows and hotdogs and enjoying the fireflies. I recommend this wonderful place to anyone who wants to disconnect for a bit. The upper loft area was really nice.

A great escape!
The cabin was wonderful and a great escape from the hustle of the world. This was a great opportunity for our family (kids 10 & 8) to spend quality time with each without distractions of work and devices! We would definitely book with Peggy again!
