History of The Wheeler-Farley House:
Be swept back in time to when ?Timber was King? when you stay at The Wheeler-Farley House?

Purchased in 1929 by our great-grandparents, Joseph Allen and Rachel Wheeler Farley, The Wheeler-Farley House is located on land that was once owned by our great-great grandfather, Nelson Platt Wheeler. His company, Wheeler & Dusenbury, was a major player in the timber industry during the 1800s through the early 1900s. At one time, Wheeler & Dusenbury owned 55,000 acres in this area of Pennsylvania now known as ?The Pennsylvania Wilds?. Just about all of the land was sold or donated and is now incorporated into The Allegheny National Forest. As fate would have it, The Wheeler-Farley House came up for sale in the spring of 2006 after being out of the family since 1978.

We are so excited to have it back and hope that you will enjoy the land our ancestors loved, as we do, when you stay at The Wheeler-Farley House.

While there, look at pictures of days gone by, read about the logging camps of the area and the adventures on The Allegheny River, rafting the logs downstream. Visit an Old Growth Forest at Hearts Content, once a Wheeler & Dusenbury logging camp and now part of The Allegheny National Forest.

Referring to The Wheeler-Farley House, the son of the former owner said, Your ancestors sure knew what they were doing, they picked the prettiest place on The Allegheny River. We whole-heatedly agree with him and now want to share this beautiful land with you.

The Wheeler-Farley House is in The Allegheny National Forest in Forest County, 10 miles north of Tionesta and 4.5 miles south of Tidioute on Route 62.

Dads and Sons annual getaway!

This is the 5th year we have made our annual fall trip with out boys. 4 dads and 6 boys, 12 -16 years old. Great field for football, whiffle ball, kickball and riding mini bikes. Also space for shooting BB guns and all outdoor recreation. The river front was awesome for fishing. Caught a few small mouth bass and kept the boys fishing for 3 days. The owner was responsive and the house was perfect for us. Spacious, clean and has a great cabin/ lodge feel. Exactly what we were looking for!

PA River House

Very nice. Very fun! Beautiful scenery and landscape. Plenty of green space for outside games. Plenty of parking. Beautiful outdoor fire pit and gorgeous large stone burnable indoor fireplace. House was very comfortable for 15 people. Very, very clean. Super stocked with necessities and kitchen equipment. Hosts have thought of everything! Nothing missing. We lacked for nothing. Only major concern was open space near stairs landing. Could be dangerous with kids. Some railings seemed a little loose. Easy fixes. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Highly recommend!

Great place with a river view

Stayed for an extended weekend with some friends. The place was great for getting together and had ample space for food and relaxing. There were many AC units which helped with the heat. The river location was unique and made an excellent quiet place for morning coffee. Frank was very responsive and helpful.

River Beauty

This was the second year I have taken my large family to unwind at this beautiful gem on the river. It’s a perfect spot to take off on the kayaks and canoe, then play evening kickball games in the nice large yard followed by grilling dinners on the old but glorious stone grill, and don’t forget the evening fire with smores at the fire pit. The views are spectacular and we just can’t get enough of it all! Frank is a wonderful hostess, thank you Frank!

Family/ Friends Yearly Reunion

This is the 2nd year in a row we've stayed at the property and it's perfect for groups. Great river front access along w/ plenty of yard space to throw the ball around or play cornhole. The property also has a magnificent fire place for the evening time and the kitchen is well stocked to cook big group meals. Easy access/ 10 minute drive to a market to get all of the basic needs.

Great get away lodge for large groups

The pictures don't do the house justice. The outdoor space is fantastic, includes 3 seperate decks and 2 porches in addition to the river front. The cumbersome check-in/reservation forms and lack of notification about blankets- bring your own, that wasn't on the listing although the practice is 3 years old, could be refined. Ths hosts communicated well, the house was immaculately clean, 3 total refrigerators, a large wood fireplace, the list goes on.

Amazing Location & Experience

Our family enjoyed a much needed weekend break at the Wheeler- Farley House. The home was both extremely clean and spacious. The location on the Allegheny River was both beautiful and secluded. The owners were very accessible and even reached out to us during our stay to ensure we had what we needed. My children are already asking to go back. I would most certainly recommend this rental for persons of all ages!

This property was the perfect setting for an overdue long weekend with family. We had 8 adults and 6 kids, and we didn't feel crowded at all.
