The mile long dirt driveway was a bit challenging in the month of March, but the location is otherwise just exquisite.
Always a fabulous time out at Oak Mountain Hideaway! The people are always friendly, the environment is picturesque and the entertainment is a wonderful private concert!
Plan to bring friends along!
What an amazingly beautiful place! Went with my wife as part of their "House Concert " series to listen to High Times all the way from Ireland. They played on the outside deck while we were all surrounded by lush greenery, rolling hills and the sounds of nature. The Nachmans are amazing hosts. Oak Mountain has camping sites and airbnb space that are just gorgeous. Check this place out!!
Could not be a better place for your getaway. From the initial contact all the way thru the end of the the hosts could not have been nicer. The care they take in making your stay perfect is amazing. The little touches of having juice coffee and other snacks make it such a wonderful place to stay. We came to go to a Penn State game and it was so convenient even though it was a little bit of of a trip. We wanted to spend time in the area of the cabin to explore the many parks in the area but the property itself was even better to walk around. Highly recommend this place
Absolutely what we needed to unwind for a weekend. Recommend exploring the property when you get there, and then the surrounding wilds for your full day adventure.
The cabin had the equipment we needed to cook an amazing steak dinner and hearty breakfast the next morning before our hike. (We brought the groceries) the kitchen did have a few pantry items we used.
The cabin is perfectly decorated and there is so much detail we were still noticing things on our third day (the day we departed).
