About this property

Peaceful Country Farmhouse Located in a Private Nature Setting

*IMPORTANT: Presently, there is no cable, dish or WiFi service, however, DVDs can be played on the TV. We do not have hidden fees in our pricing. We are pet friendly. There is a Pack and Play available. Tent camping is also available on our spacious lawn. For sleeping purposes, the home can accommodate 10 adults. Extra guests can camp out on the lawn if needed. For guests needing bedroom accommodations on the first floor, there is a pull-out couch that converts to a double bed, but please let us know beforehand if you will need it as we need to get it ready for your stay.

Inside
The home is two stories with 4 bedrooms: two bedrooms with a double bed in each; one bedroom with both a double and a single bed; and one bedroom with a single bed. Bedrooms are all on the second floor.

Outside
The visitor will travel over a grated bridge and then continue up a stone-covered lane until they reach a modest, white country home. The home is located on 12 acres of lawn and wooded property, which is enjoyed year round, with wildlife of various types seen daily, such as white-tail deer, squirrel, beaver and fowls that are native to the area. There is a brook that runs through the property, which flows into nearby Muggser Run, the confluence of which is also on the property. Wild trout inhabit the water and is ideal for patient fishermen.

Nearby
Approximately 1 1/2 miles away on White Church Road (At the end of the lane go straight, that will be White Church Road) is Ponduce Farm Market.

Also about 4 miles away in the village of Numidia (Turn right at the end of the driveway, travel on Bear Gap Road until it meets with Route 42. Turn left. That will take you into Numidia.) is Luna Pizzeria, which is located in the center of the village. The pizzeria also delivers.

The property has plenty of parking space for a variety of vehicles, and is located approximately 12 miles from downtown Bloomsburg (home of Bloomsburg University); 10 miles from Knoebels Amusement Resort; 8 miles from the Valley Gun and Country Club in Elysburg; and 17 miles from the Anthracite Outdoor Adventure Area (AOAA) in Coal Township.

Please take note: As of July 2019, fireworks are prohibited on the property as it is a heavily wooded area.

Quiet Unique Getaway

The property is a quaint old farmhouse (which I thought would appeal to my husband). Plenty more bedrooms than we needed, so if your party is bigger, there's room. The VRBO listing is incorrect when it mentions Wi-Fi, there isn't any & signal is pretty spotty, so plan accordingly.

Cozy farmhouse. A step back in time.

Loved our stay at the farmhouse. It was like staying at Grandma's. Love all the old furnishings. The piano was wonderful to sit at and play hymns. We adored the Christian decor. The wildlife was a bonus! The hostess Mary Jane was excellent with everything. Especially quick to answer any questions. We will be back!

Authentic farmhouse feel

As soon as you step in this home you feel like you’re stepping back in time, like visiting your grandma when you were young. This house was cozy and comfortable. The yard was huge and the fire pit will be calling your name. The owner was always quick to communicate and answer all your questions. They made check in check out so flawless and easy. The WiFi wasn’t working, but you kinda didn’t miss it since it was so quiet and peaceful.

Our thoughts

Lovely very private property with a spacious home. Some updates needed in regard to the furniture in the living room. Also we felt new towels would benefit. The owner was very kind and made the rental simple.

Quintessential PA Farm House perfect for families

We had 8 people in our group so this large house was perfect for us and owner was helpful and communicative. We stayed 2 nights while we visited Knoebels Amusement Park, a short, easy drive from the house. The decor was interesting (the ABUNDANCE of religious items made some of our party uneasy, as some wall hangings in the main entrance to the house expressed disturbing viewpoints) but everything else was lovely and comfortable. The bedrooms are set up perfectly for 2 families, but if you are a lone adult and thinking about taking the room with the one twin, think again if you have a bad back. Adult children and their partners all reported other beds were ok, just not the single twin.

Knoebel's Vacation

Property was lovely and a short distance to Knoebels where we spent most of our days. Host was friendly and informative. Wish we had more time to spend there. Only recommendation for anyone with smaller children would be to bring a baby gate for the stairs.

A step back in time...in a GOOD wahy

This is like going to Grandma's house. So quaint and homey. It's literally like stepping into your Grandma's house when you remember all the good and simple things of life. A great place to get away from today's crazy world. Really close to Knoebel's which was perfect. Very clean and super comfortable. All the rooms are very spacious. The property is beautiful and so peaceful. Mary Jane is super responsive and a wonderful host. Highly recommended.

All you need and more

Mary Jane was the perfect host. The property is peaceful and quiet, the house is super clean, loved the kitchen, well stocked and plenty big for a family. I understand this house has been in the family for many years, which gives it a homey feeling, but maybe replacing some of the uncomfortable seating in the living rooms, updating the mattresses and not so much religious material would make staying here even better.

About the host

Hosted by Mary Jane Humes

This is the property of Joseph and Mary Jane Humes. Both of us have been life-long residents of the Elysburg/Shamokin area. Currently, we reside in Shamokin, but during the summer, spend a lot of time working., enjoying and maintaining this property.

Why they chose this property

In this peaceful home, it seems that you are stepping back into time as the decor is vintage country. Because it is a home owned by Christians, some of the adornments reflect our religious beliefs.
The large lawn is perfect for anyone (and their dogs) who wants to camp outside. Pitch a tent or bring sleeping bags and ground covers and sleep under the stars.
This is our country home, but we want you to feel like valued guests in the house of a friend.
