About this cabin rental

Cedarwood Lodge is a mountain cabin on eight forested acres surrounded by the Moshannon State Forest with access to thousands of acres for exploring nature directly from the grounds. Only 4 miles off PA I-80, Exit 111, the cabin provides easy access to Parker Dam and S.B. Elliot state parks and the nearby Elk Herd (Rocky Mountain elk reintroduced in 1913 have prospered) and Elk Scenic Drive. Don't miss the spectacular Mountain Laurel Driving Tour to view the PA State Flower that proliferates throughout the mountain forests each spring.

NEW - July 2024: The internet has come to Cedarwood Lodge via StarLink! Not reliably available in this mountainous area of Clearfield County until recently, StarLink has been successfully installed and provides a strong signal though-out the cabin and surrounding property.

The Lodge is completely equipped including linens, all kitchen needs, microwave, gas cook stove and gas grill, coffee maker, toaster, TV/VCR/DVD (no TV reception), phone, wood burning stove/fireplace, and full bath with tub and shower.

Homemade bread, and sweet rolls or muffins are provided for your first morning's breakfast. Coffee and tea provided.

Deer, turkey, foxes, and an occasional bear can be observed making their way past the Lodge. Enjoy dark skies with easy access to the 'middle of nowhere' - just a 15 minute drive (12 miles) to Clearfield or 20 minute drive to DuBois.

It is easily accessible from the main highway, yet provides privacy and a feeling of seclusion. The Lodge is a great place for family get-togethers, a romantic get-away for two, or a gathering of friends.

Some comments from our guests:
'...But the best things were the walks along the logging roads, beaver ponds, flowers starting to bloom, and the peace and tranquility of the backwoods.' Ralph, Nancy, Tucker, Keisee and Marlie, from Novelty, Ohio
'Our drive was 5.5 hours, but it was worth it. We are sad to leave this hideaway to return to the stress of the city.' Amy and Pete from New York City
'We wanted to renew our friendships, enjoy nature, and escape the hustle and bustle of life. We wanted to laugh and talk late into the night. Here at Cedarwood, it all happened.' Barb, Ruth, and Diane from Evans City, PA
'We enjoyed three of the best days of our lives here! This is an absolutely wonderful place.' Chuck and Lori - newlyweds

Although there is not onsite swimming, the cabin is located 2 miles from two state parks which have swimming, boating, nature center, hiking trails of all degrees of length and difficulty. There are beaver dams within walking distance of the cabin.

Check with owner first before booking. The owner mentioned VRBO uses AI and things are posted that are not true. No kayak, no river, no white birch trees as listed. We had to vacuum the upstairs bedroom with cobwebs above the bed. You can't open the bottom drawers due to the heater in the way which doesn't matter because they were filled with toilet paper and sheets. We cleaned outdoor chairs with bird droppings on them that have been there for some time. no wifi was mentioned but there is also no internet. The very old and very small tv had a green tent. the remote barely worked. Some condiments in the fridge were out dated. We left a day early and I mentioned all this to the owner who seemed to make excuses and not care too much. I was hoping she would offer at least a one day refund due to the misleading info on the website that she is responsible for checking. I guess that was an unrealistic expectation. I would never go back there again. Not to mention driving by another house with toys, broken down atv and other crap all over their yard, Its a shame, and an eye sore. This was the worst trip I have ever taken. I am upset that VRBO uses misleading information but more upset that the owner was unwilling to make good for it. f

This property was absolutely beautiful. The house was so amazing. We didn't need to bring a thing everything we needed was right there! The house is very spacious and there was room for everyone. The space was amazing it allowed up to have a great game night, watch movies and take walks! Thank you so much for inviting us into your home!

The cabin was wonderful! It had everything you could possibly want or need in a forest getaway: fully stocked kitchen, plenty of washroom supplies, games, movies, books, blankets - it was all the comforts of home in a beautiful forested setting in PA’s Elk country. Our host was very thoughtful in her communications leading up to our stay, and then again while we were there with well thought out directions for the cabin, how to get around the area - even where the best grocery shopping is and how to get there. She left fresh baked goods in the cabin, along with the lights on in anticipation of a possible arrival after dark. Honestly one of the best rental vacations we’ve ever had - and we’ve had a lot! It was everything we’d hoped it would be and more. We loved our time at Cedarwood Lodge! HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!!
