About this property

Enjoy our large Victorian farmhouse ride the AOAA or visit knoebels minutes away

Our address is 3429 State Route 125 Shamokin, PA 17872. As avid ATV riders and Jeep enthusiasts we saw a need for lodging near the Anthracite Outdoor Adventure Area (AOAA).  We also wanted to specifically include persons with disabilities.  Catering to those who use wheelchairs with accessible ramps and also a roll in shower.  Come visit our large Victorian home which is nested in the mountains of the coal region.  Located a mile down the road from the AOAA.  In our spacious rooms we have queen sized beds as well as two rooms with bunk beds.   Every bedroom comes with fire tv and free Wi-Fi.  Our house has a large kitchen with all utensils and two big living rooms with plenty of comfy seating.  Do you need to wash your clothes?   We have that covered too along with a washer and dryer here for your convenience.  Rest assured your machines are safe.  You can keep them locked up in the large garage for the night.  Outside our property is equipped with plenty of cameras keeping watch over the garage and house.  At the end of a long day of hard riding relax by the fire pits and enjoy some of the evening views across the valley. We are also just miles from Knoebels (14 miles), The Bloomsburg Fair (24 miles), and Hershey Park (57 miles about an hour away). They are just a few of the local attractions. Hope to see you soon.

Great place to stay
We took our adult children for a weekend away to ride the AOAA trails. This was the perfect place. It was close to the trails and had everything we needed. Communication was great and we enjoyed our stay.

Best Vacation House Yet
From booking to check out Neil and Chris provided stellar communication. They were more than accommodating. The house was spotless, roomy, and had everything we needed. Beds were comfortable and the living area was great. Fully functional kitchen with everything needed to cook great meals. Outside barbecue area and fire pit were an added bonus. The fact the the house was set up for people with mobility issues was so appreciated. AOAA was literally 2 minutes away and so many farm stands and wineries were pretty close. We could not have asked for a better stay and we would change nothing. Thank you so much Neil and Chris

Weekend visit to Knoble’s
The house was adequate…. It was big enough for some extended family and clean and comfortable BUT it was an old house that needs some attention here and there like weird showers, doors that don’t shut properly and a steep uneven driveway. It’s functional but not a fancy place.

Great location for our family reunion!
The house is an old Victorian home with some changes to make it a good VRBO home. Liked the big kitchen sink and strange handicap showers with no shower curtains. Furniture in living room and all the beds soft and comfortable. AC units and fans in most rooms made for comfortable sleeping. Dining room table large enough for our family of nine. Nice backyard and patio but furniture a little worn so we didn’t hang out back. Front porch was great with its nice breeze. House was a little dusty and cobwebby but nothing I haven’t seen at my house. We chose this home because close to our reunion destination at Montour Preserves, my sisters house in Danville, and the closest of all, Knoebels Amusement Park. Nearby Shamokin, believe it or not, has some nice restaurants to eat at! We would return again.

Lots of potential
The house has potential to be better. Its an older home with high ceilings, pocket doors and large rooms, however, theres some wall paper that was falling down that had mold behind it. We also had a snake that came down the steps for a visit while we were eating breakfast. The ladies of the house were not amused. Probably wont stay there again.

ATV Riders
It's an ideal house for folks visiting Anthracite Outdoor Adventure Area. We rent 2 campsites and 2 homes every time we come up and this house is by far my favorite. The beds are plentiful, the baths are big, and the outside seating area is large. This was our 2nd year renting this home and it won't be our last.

Great for AOAA access
Nice place to stay, plenty of room. We were able to stretch out and relax at night. It is an older house, the floors creak, the rooms are odd, but it has character. We stayed during the winter and it was warm inside. We would have liked to use the outdoor firepit and grill. The driveway is on a bit of a slope and there is an upper parking lot. We were able to manage the car trailers by leaving them at AOAA overnight. We would definitely rent here again.

Double booked.
Didn't get to actually stay at the place we booked. One of the owners had the place double booked so we were the odd man out. Not sure why WE had to move, but that's what they decided They did put us up in another one of their properties and booked us another property down the road. Wasn't thrilled with having to pack and unpack in the middle of our stay. Kinda ruined the whole day. They offered us a free stay to make up for it so hopefully that will go well. Overall wasn't great but wasn't terrible. The owners did the best they could with the hand they were dealt

Good for our extended family
We stayed for the weekend of our family reunion at Knoebels. The home was easy to find. We enjoyed the backyard space a lot. The bathrooms are ADA accessible, and the one suggestion I would make is to put a sturdy grab bar in the upstairs bathroom by the shower head. As a person with limited mobility, I was a little afraid of slipping. We will likely stay again.

Great long weekend
We came to the area for a family reunion in Knoebels Grove. We usually stay in a hotel, but by booking the home, more family could come. (Hotels are $$$$) My parents grew up nearby so site seeing and family was the goal. The outdoor fire pit was a huge hit and roasting hot dogs was a big hit. The home was perfect and we hope to be back again next year!

Farmhouse in Shamokin
Everyone loved the place very roomy place was clean only problem we had was parking we had three 20' foot trailers it was hard to move them around in such a small area and they had a small trailer on the property which also cause some problems but if they clear out the top section there property may the upper driveway less steep it would be enough room for bigger trailers three or more
