About this property

Barr Top Lodge - Newly Constructed in 2023, Secluded and Remote in the Elk Range

Barr Top Lodge is the Newest of the Barr Top Rentals fleet of vacation rentals in the PA Wilds. You may already be familiar with our others, Camp Critter, Dream Ridge Lodge and Bull Hollow Lodge and formerly Barr None Lodge. Barr Top Lodge is our newest construction and we began renting in September of 2023. If you previously stayed at Barr None Lodge, you will be immediately familiar with Barr Top. Located just "above" Barr None, Barr Top is the same construction only this time, on a full basement instead of a 2nd floor. Situated in the heart of the Elk Range and just a mile from Hicks Run, this lodge provides guests with a quiet and remote wilderness getaway.

As with our other Lodges, Benezette PA is our guests most frequent destination from the lodge. The Winslow Hill Viewing Center is a 20 minute drive from the lodge. The Hicks Run Viewing center is a 5 minute drive from the lodge. Visitors also enjoy nearly endless fishing and hiking opportunities.

We offer all the comforts of home. Fully furnished and equipped, you can leave everything but your clothes and food at home. We provide linens and towels, a kitchen complete with every pot, pan or utensil you will need, High Speed Unlimited Internet, Big Screen Smart TV, a Huge Walk in Shower, Central Air and more.

Other amenities include a spacious finished basement complete with Pool Table, Television and lounging area. The kids are welcome to bring their game machines and plug into the 55" TV in the basement.

Seclusion is one of the lodge's most valuable assets. Sit on the huge covered deck or take your camp chairs to the fire ring (with cooking rack) and enjoy the peace and quiet.

The Lodge is accessible year round (4 Wheel Drive is a must in the winter). We look forward to hosting you. Seth and Kevin, Barr Top Rentals.

Elk Shed Camp 2025

Marine Corps Brothers annual trip to Benezette in search of elk sheds. We spend hours in the woods and hiking to the meadows in the high country looking for sheds. Although this is our 5th year and again it was unsuccessful we have already booked next years trip. This is by far the BEST VRBO we have stay at in the area and look forward to doing it all over again next year!

Childhood Friends Reunion

The peaceful sense of serenity is exactly what we needed after 2 days of the 100 Mile Yard Sales! The kitchen was well equipped (maybe needed a large kettle to cook corn on the cob). The beds were roomy, and the bathrooms were well stocked. The pool table got a lot of use, and the parking area was large enough for all our vehicles. Our favorite place was the porch!

Extended family getaway

It is a beautiful property. Not just new but smart design. Two king bedrooms, very smart, a family bedroom with two singles and a queen, very smart because little ones dont want to be alone in a new place. Every convenience there is. Wonderful private but not isolated location. Had a wonderful time.

Long need family trip.

I used to come up here all the time as a child. I wanted to take my dad and his brother up. I found this place and seen it was pretty close to our old camp. I was beyond thrilled to find out where it was located and how beautiful it really was on top of the mountain. It was incredibly easy to find because that's the same road we turn off to get to our old camp. Everything about this property was perfect and I can't wait to come back with my wife and kids
