About this property

Cozy cottage in Portersville close to Moraine & McConnells Mill State Parks

Come stay at a cozy little cottage (LaZy Oaks Cottage LLC) that's close to two state parks. Moraine and McConnells Mill State Parks are beautiful places to visit for hiking and many other outdoor activities. Our one-level cottage is perfect for couples or small families. Whether you're on vacation or attending a nearby wedding (White Barn or The Atrium), this is a perfect alternative to a hotel. We are conveniently located near Interstate 79 and Route 422.

Check In: 5 PM (We may be able to accommodate you for an earlier check-in time. Please check with us first before booking.)
***You will be provided a keypad code to enter the cottage.
Check Out: 11 AM

Our small cottage has two bedrooms and one bathroom. We have a refrigerator, microwave, toaster, Keurig coffee machine, and oven for you to use while you stay. There is no washer/dryer available at the cottage; however, Prospect Car Wash and Laundromat is conveniently located 1 mile away, adjacent to Prospect Pizza. We provide fresh linens and towels for your stay.

Our cottage is nestled among several oak trees. If you look out through the kitchen window, you will see our large barn in the backyard. The neighborhood is generally quiet. You will see there's a lot of wildlife in the spring, summer, and fall. You will see squirrels, chipmunks, bunnies, and maybe some deer.

Renting a car or bringing your own vehicle is ideal for a rural area like Portersville, PA. Parking is available next to the cottage in the horseshoe driveway on our private property. We can accommodate larger trucks and trailers. Truckers are welcome.

We live on the property in a separate house; however, we will respect your privacy while you stay. Therefore, if there should be any problems while you stay, we are close by to correct the issue right away.

Quiet country getaway

Came to see grandson for his birthday and came along this listing and it looked like the perfect quiet country getaway and that is sure what it was. Even saw deer in the yard. Hose was very nice and responded quickly if I needed anything.

A Neat Small House

This property was great. It was exactly as advertised. And there were free snacks and coffee. We enjoyed our stay very much. Just be aware that the keypad is actually on the front door where the keyhole would usually be. I spent about 15 minutes looking for a lockbox on the porch only to discover that I had only needed to open the door to find the keypad.

Anniversary Tripi

I was having surgery three hours away from my home, but only 40 minutes away from your property that day. It was so nice not to have to drive the whole way home after having my procedure done when we arrived at your property it was so accommodating for me to get around. It was so beautiful inside and so warm and so even welcoming. Amanda cared about my surgery and wanted to make sure that her accommodations were fitting for my stay and wanted to make sure we were taken good care of.
