Mountain Retreat ★ HEATED POOL ★ Amazing Views!

★ NEW!! ★ Heated SALTWATER POOL open May through September.


Welcome to "Mountain View Retreat," a gorgeous contemporary home perched high on a wooded hillside with incredible birds-eye views of the Susquehanna River and the city of Harrisburg!

This spacious WHEELCHAIR ACCESSIBLE home features 6 bedrooms (all with king size beds!) plus an office/sitting room with a sleeper sofa, and a gorgeous sunny library with a sleeper sofa. Three gas fireplaces add a cozy touch to the main living room, the luxurious master suite, as well as the basement family room.

Welcome to the home with perhaps the best view in central PA! This is a very unique contemporary home designed by architect Fred Harle who believed a home could coexist with nature. This home is truly built into the mountain landscape with sleek roof lines to allow for air flow making the home energy efficient, and designed so that almost every room has a view! Beautiful stone fireplaces in the living room, master bedroom and the basement family room.

A beautiful spiral stairway going all the way from the basement to the second floor. Large kitchen with bamboo flooring, and tigerwood flooring in the living room and dining room. A huge 53’ deck with panoramic views that just never get old! A quiet secluded setting, yet all within a few miles from major highways, grocery stores and restaurants.

4 Wheel drive vehicles are recommended in wintertime for navigating our very steep driveway. We will do our best to keep the driveway safe and clear in the winter months. Please note that travel plans could be impacted if the driveway is deemed unsafe due to snow or ice.

Great Summer Time Retreat

We enjoyed our stay at the Mountain View Retreat. The property has spectacular view and the host (Jake) is very responsive. He pays close attention to details and making his guests feel comfortable. The accommodations were extensive and we had everything we needed. The host also had a welcome gift for us upon arrival, which was a very nice touch to kickoff the vacation! Thank you!

Could not have been better!

Our family had a great stay at this property. We used the pool and hot tub more than anything and they were both perfect. The view is amazing and a great place to kick back and read or enjoy time with loved ones. I loved the privacy here as well. I can't say enough about the host! Jake is great at making sure you have everything you need to make your stay just perfect. I truly appreciated his communication. There isn't a lot to do in town, but the river and surrounding area are gorgeous. There are plenty of places to shop and restaurants too.

Amazing retreat

We had a Bible study weekend at this property, and it was an absolutely amazing experience. The beautiful view, the lovely accommodations, the set up of the house were all perfect. Jake, the host, was extremely helpful in his communication and in being accommodating. Plus, with the property's easy access to downtown, it was a perfect location to be close at hand to Harrisburg, but feel like we were away and remote. People at the retreat repeatedly said they couldn't imagine having a more perfect location! We hope to stay again in the future, and we really appreciate the host's helpfulness.

Amazing!!!

The location was stunning. The house was absolutely gorgeous! The kitchen was stocked with everything we needed. Such a beautiful big kitchen, everyone hung out during meal prep. The hot tub and pool table were a big hit. We took a few day trips but were equally happy staying in at the house. I brought 4 teenagers and they loved it. Big areas to hangout together and smaller areas for just relaxing, reflecting, or reading. The telescope was a big hit! First vacation house that they said they would love to go back to. Jake was a wonderful host, the house was beautiful and clean. I highly recommend this property!

Perfect

What an amazing home. The owner was a great communicator and had the home all set up for guests. All the rooms are spacious and bright. With the large group that we had, in was very helpful to have multiple places to sit while eating. Beds were comfortable, including the pullouts. The home had anything you may need for a stay, which is great to not have to pack that extra stuff. While we didnt use it, having a kitchen on the lower level is a great plus. The views were truly amazing. Jake was a great host and answered any questions we had. My only regret is not being able to stay longer than we did. Looking forward to booking a family getaway next year at the same house!

Even More Amazing than Expected!

I brought a group of women leaders to this incredible property for a weekend of relaxing AND work. Everything about our experience was even better than expected! There was plenty of room to spread out and have your own space and then space to come together as a group. The hosts have thought of everything! We had so much fun using the pool, hot tub, and fire pit, and the views are nothing less than spectacular! Several of our group commented on what a great place this would be for a family gathering! There are lots of games, a pool table, a ton of books, great wifi, a basketball court and more. Another thing we loved is that the kitchen is amazing- well stocked with plenty of everything you need, including serving dishes. And the dining table must have about 20 extra leaves! We also had a meal catered, and Jake’s recommendation was perfect. Jake could not have been more attentive and responsive. You will LOVE this property!

We had a great long weekend at the house! We all enjoyed the pool, the fire pit, the view and the beautiful house. The home was equipped with everything we needed and things we didn’t think we did like bug spray! This was the perfect meeting spot for our family from the Pittsburgh area and CT.

The house was great. We had a group of family members (11 in all) coming in from various parts of the North East to attend a wedding in the area. The house was large enough, and spread out, so we never felt crowded.The amenities were great and we got to use the pool, the barbeque, had s'mores by the firepit one evening, and a couple of Pickle Ball matches.Everything was well documented in the welcome instructions and Jake, the owner, was very responsive to any messages I sent.

We loved staying at this property. There was plenty of room for the 12 of us. There were bedrooms for everyone and quiet nooks and spaces for reading, resting and chatting. The large dining room table allowed us to eat our meals together in comfort and the spacious kitchen have us plenty of room to cook. On the rainy days of our stay, we hung out inside and in the covered hot tub and the sunny days we spent by the pool and walking the nearby trails. Our host, Jake, responded quickly to any questions we had but really, all the information needed is either on the website or in the welcome book. We appreciated the ample parking and the gorgeous view. Check out was easy, with just having to wash up our dishes and start a couple of loads of towels in the washer. This is definitely a 5 star rating and we hope we can stay here again.

My ministry leadership team booked this property to host our yearly retreat. The space was beautiful and the views even more amazing in person! We had so much space that everyone could find a place to be alone when neededd, even in a large group. The kitchen was amazing and having the basement kitchen was such a bonus. It was the 1st time all the ladies wanted me to re-book for next year! Jake was amazing and so helpful with anything request. Definitely would stay here again.

Son’s Wedding Weekend

This house has EVERYTHING! Any kitchen accessory you can think of is there, wonderfully comfortable bed linens and towels, very comfortable furniture INCLUDING THE BEDS! There is plenty of outdoor furniture on the deck and around the pool. Having 2 kitchens when hosting our family for our son’s Wedding Weekend was very helpful. There are many areas where large groups can gather as well as cute nooks people could sit and have conversations. Our gang loved hanging out together in the pool, hot tub and around the fire pit. There are books and toys for kiddos. The views from the house are outstanding from the inside and on the decks. The sunrise from the dining room area was beautiful. I would love to come back and enjoy the fireplaces and all the warm fuzzy blankets scattered in the living areas and bedrooms. Jake has thought of everything you might need including a welcome basket with snacks! Thank you for making our weekend with family easy and memorable. PS there was even an outlet for our EV in the garage!

We had an amazing stay in this beautiful home, with friends celebrating my wife and my 40th birthdays this year. The pool and hot tub are perfect.

There is also a photo album of the history of the home in the library, which is an excellent easter egg to flip through.
