About this property

Hidden River Lodge at Hawk Mountain

Rest. Relax. Immerse yourself in nature. Sit with a cup of coffee on the expansive deck and take in the compelling views of the Little Schuylkill River. The property (nestled at the base of Hawk Mountain, a bird sanctuary famous for its raptor sightings) is serene and private, surrounded by woods on all sides. The Appalachian Trail is also nearby, offering excellent hiking opportunities and breathtaking views of pristine Pennsylvania countryside. Hidden River Lodge is a quiet and peaceful retreat, it's the perfect getaway!

The spacious living room and dining room have vaulted ceilings and opens to the kitchen. The large dining room table easily seats up to 10 people. Sliding doors off of the living room open to a deck with a grill and spectacular forest and river views.

The master bedroom is off of the kitchen. It offers a queen bed and has a private bathroom with a large walk-in shower. The bunk room down the hall from the living room has four twin beds and one full bed. It’s the perfect space for kids with toys, games, and books. A full bathroom is next to the bunk room.

The “stone room” is through French doors off of the living room. It has vaulted ceilings and has a large, plush sectional that has a pull-out bed as a sleeping option. The room also has a television and is a great space for watching a movie or spending time with family and friends.

Downstairs, a third living area doubles as a game room. Doors open onto a patio with access to the front yard. A short walk brings you down to the river’s edge for fishing, kayaking, swimming, and tubing.

Off of the downstairs living room is a third bedroom. This cozy room has a full bathroom, queen-sized bed, and a workspace. The walk-in closet is large enough for a pack-n-play. The laundry room is also downstairs, which you are welcome to use.

Hawk Mountain, a bird sanctuary, is located directly behind Hidden River Lodge. Hawk Mountain offers a variety of very well maintained hiking trails and is a popular location for bird watchers. Other hiking trails in the area are accessible via the main road, including the famous Appalachian Trail. You can find trail maps online.

The house is equipped with WiFi.

Guest access: The entire house is accessible to guests except for the owner’s closet in the master bedroom. A large armoire and chest is provided instead for guest’s belongings.

There are two wood-burning fireplaces and a coal stove. We ask that they are not used at this time. Thanks in advance!

Private access to the Little Schuylkill River is available via wrought iron steps next to the gravel lane. You are welcome to fish, swim, and kayak to your heart’s content! Kayaks and other boating accessories are not supplied. (All water activities are done at your own risk.)

There is an outside firepit in the brick courtyard by the house. Please responsibly tend to your fire and put it out by 10:00 pm (per township ordinance).

The grill is available for guests. Please clean it after each use.

Serene Beauty

My husband and I took our two grandsons ages 3 an 4 for a week's vacation to this gorgeous property. The home is so beautiful and nestled into the woods giving it just the right amount of privacy. The boys enjoyed all of the wonderful things nature provided from seeing several eagles perch on tree by the home to watching deer coming by. My husband and I enjoyed early mornings drinking coffee on the deck. Being located at the foot of Hawk Mountain was amazing. I will definitely be booking another stay in the future provided.Its.Iamazinlocatilooko in the future

About the host

Hosted by Sara J Hurst

Host profile image
I'm one of the owners of Hidden River Lodge: a group of 3 couples who met through their entrepreneurial business connections and became great friends. This place has become our personal getaway/retreat space, both as individuals/families as well as collectively, and we love that we also get to share it with others. We hope that you find the immersion in nature (mountains, river, and woodlands) to be as restful and restorative as we do!

Why they chose this property

The peaceful serenity of Hidden River Lodge is palpable. Whether cozied up on the couch with a good book, sitting on the deck overlooking the river, or down by (or in/on) the river itself, this place invites you to take a deep breath and pause: to feel your soul come alive in nature and silence. Or maybe you're enjoying it with a few friends or your family, and you can catch both moments of rest and retreat as well as the creating of new, fond memories of togetherness with hiking, games, or river activities. Regardless, it's a place that invites deep refreshment of soul, body, and mind.

What makes this property unique

Surrounded by a nature preserve on three sides of the property with the river on the fourth, a stay at Hidden River Lodge is an experience of being immersed in nature. Yet, it's in close proximity (10-15 minutes) of some great restaurants and activities, and just 5 minutes from lots of hiking trails.
