About this property

Year Round Outdoor lovers Paradise, enjoy skiing, biking, hiking and golfing.


2100 Sq Ft A- frame located at Blue Knob ski area. House sits on Golf course hole #8. 5 minute drive to the lifts at the top of the mountain. I also just installed a Nema 1450 outlet for EV charging.

Newly furnished with 1 king, 3 queens and 2 sets of full on bottom twin on top bunk beds. PLEASE NOTE you will need to bring your own bed sheets and pillow cases.

We have 4 flat screen TV's that are 4K Smart TV’s
The main sitting area also has a gas fireplace and floor to ceiling windows overlooking the golf course.

The finished basement has a flat screen TV with Xbox. Please bring your own Xbox games.

Kitchen is fully equipped with multiple appliances , and cookware to cook large meals. We also have a K-Cup coffee maker.

Blue Knob Ski Area offer the highest elevation ski area in PA as well as the highest vertical and longest runs in PA.
The ski resort was just purchased by new owners this past summer and huge improvements are planned for their snow making systems as well as lodge.

The golf course also provides a wonderful place for morning or evening walks in spring, summer and fall and cross country skiing in the winter.

There is mountain biking and hiking that surrounds the golf course plus miles and miles of mountain biking and hiking in Blue Knob State Park 10 minutes away. (see attached screen shot from MTB project) Its also worth mentioning The Allegrippis Trail system which many consider to be the best MTB biking on the East Coast is 45 minutes away at Raystown Lake. Raystown Lake is also well known for its fishing.

Fall getaway
This property had everything we needed and is very comfortable. It is located in a very peaceful setting with views of trees, the golf course and some incredible sunrises on the back deck. We loved it. It was hard to leave. The owner responded very quickly to my questions. Thank you John!

AMAZING
This was a beautiful house and our family had an incredible vacation. John (owner) was super helpful and replied very quickly to all questions. The place is perfect for a relaxing and family-oriented stay in the woods. We loved the ping pong table and had family tournaments. The porch was perfect for morning coffee and reading! Loved playing outdoors and it is super safe for our kids! Thank you so much John for lending your place to us!

About the host

Hosted by John Carper

Host profile image
My girlfriend and I just purchased this home together as a great weekend getaway and an investment. We had such great luck renting a beach house in DE that we wanted to do the same but up in the Mountains.

Why they chose this property

Blue Knob has it all. Skiing, Mt. biking, hiking and ATVing. No other place I know of has all that. The house was in great shape and did not need any work.

What makes this property unique

The use of the 2 car garage during ski season is a real nice perk, especially when it is snowing.
