Beautiful house and relaxing weekend with the family. Close to State College and Seven Mountains Winery, great time overall.

No problems

A group of friends spent a long weekend at Brush Mountain Lodge to celebrate a 40th birthday, and it far exceeded our expectations. The lodge is spectacular - in terms of amenities, layout, cleanliness, view, etc. Kitchen-- We cooked a few meals in, and the kitchen is one of the best appointed kitchens I've ever seen in a rental. The appliances, cookware, serve ware, etc. provided all that we needed and more. It was also the little things that helped -- spices, foil/cling wrap, extra cleaning supplies, etc. It was so great not to have to bring soaps, toiletries, and the like too. Bedrooms -- The layout of the house allowed for all couples to feel like they were in their own private space while still allowing for plenty of socializing in the common areas of the house. Pillows and beds - A+! Only complaint (and I hate even using that word) was lack of screen or light blocking option for the high windows in the second floor master. The sun definitely comes right in for that early wake-up! Outdoor spaces -- We were lucky enough that the March weather was mild enough that we were able to enjoy the fireplace on the side porch one night. Firewood and kindling was stocked for convenience. Ample seating. We also rented the lower apartment for two of the nights of our stay for extra rooms and to have access to the hot tub. Service - Eric was responsive to all questions, and even provided some hiking suggestions for our group. The fresh flowers upon arrival was a nice touch. If you're looking for luxury accommodations, this is your spot.

Everything was perfect!

We were lucky to spend Thanksgiving here with extended family from NY to VA to MD and PA; it was the perfect central location. The kitchen is beautifully equipped for meals and cooking. There is plenty of room for people to be together or separate. It was comfortable, cozy and ideal for our family gathering. We'd love to return in the summer to take advantage of the outdoor spaces but we'll settle for another winter visit anytime! Eric (the owner) is very responsive and helped make our visit worry-free.

Brush Mtn Lodge was a very comfortable place for our family to enjoy. Adults each had bedrooms and own baths, perfect sleeping for the 5 kids/teens. Kitchen very equipped. Spacious dining and plenty of seating on the porch/deck.

Love this place! Great little hide away.

The lodge is beautiful. It was the perfect get away spot for our group of 19 adults & kids. The property is immaculate and well stocked. The views are amazing and there are so many gathering spots in & around the house. Communication with Eric was super smooth. We will certainly be back & highly recommend it

We loved our stay. The lodge is exactly as pictured, the views were great, and there were plenty of indoor things to do right at the lodge. We were within reasonable driving distance to other things to do like hiking, Penny’s Cave, and State College. Just know that if you are looking to have outdoor space to play the lodge is on a mountain side property with no real yard space. This wasn’t an issue with a nice playground a short drive down the road into Spring Mills. Definitely Recommend and already thinking about a return trip in the future!

Our week at Brush Mountain Lodge was absolutely delightful. The views were spectacular (truly), the beds were so comfortable, and the gathering area was charming!! The kitchen had so many useful items. Plus, we made s’mores in the outdoor fireplace. I strongly recommend the venue. Well done!

If I could rate this establishment 10/5 I would. It offers amazing views, and every amenity under the sun. I highly recommend getting the apartment with the main lodge so that you have access to the fire pit and the hot tub. A true escape from the world that will have you asking why you didn't book sooner.

This was perfect for our trip to see our daughter graduate from Penn State! We had a wonderful time and loved being able to relax in such a beautiful setting.

Came for a Penn state hosted basketball tournament and the house was perfect for a few families together - great space and perfect accommodations! Awesome house and property!

Was a great winter weekend with friends. Loved that the property had bedrooms and en suite bathrooms for 5 couples.

We really enjoyed our stay! The lodge was as pictured. It was clean and well stocked with what we needed to help make awesome memories!! Hope we can go again sometime.

The property was amazing!

We are a family with seven children in their twenties along with three significant others. The house with the apartment has six master suites which was like having our own family hotel. There are many different areas in the house which allowed for some individuality and there is a large family room which was spacious enough for twelve adults to congregate. The views are spectacular and the decks are very inviting. There is an ingenious man made babbling brook along side of the house which provides background sound that creates tranquility and makes you feel like one with nature. The hot tub provides relaxation with awesome views of the valley and there are speakers that you can connect to that can provide your favorite background music while in the tub. This house is truly a great place to gather with a large family or families. Eric was very quick to response to any questions that we had and I would highly recommend this house to one and all.

Incredibly beautiful setting, gorgeous lodge, well appointed bedrooms and common areas and a well equipped kitchen. The only inconvenience for those who can’t disconnect is a lack of WiFi but I would actually count that as a plus for our group.

This was our second visit in what is fast becoming a tradition. Eric has been wonderful to work with and is an excellent communicator consistently in each rental. The view is outstanding and the comforts, inside and out, are first class. I cannot recommend this enough.

4 of us gathered and created a retreat together: yoga, meditation, meals, walks and conversation. The lodge gave us space, beauty and peace to be together. The time was very meaningful. The local Amish farmers’ produce, dairy and kombucha were the icing on the cake!

The Lodge offered amazing accommodations, beautiful views, and plenty of space for our family (10 adults and 5 kids) to come together for a week of vacation. It is a special place that offers hiking, State Parks, breweries, Amish baked goods and sweet corn, Penn State main campus, and Penns Cave, all nearby. We absolutely loved our stay and everyone voted to do it again! Thanks to our host for sharing this incredible property with us!

My colleagues and I had a great experience. They provided everything we needed, as well as things we didn't realize we needed. The views and accommodations were wonderful.

For the second year in a row we hosted our annual week long board game meet-up at the lodge and as with last year it was absolutely fantastic! The lodge itself was great as always and Eric and team were wonderful to work with. This year we had some folks do some additional exploring of the area and they also had a blast doing everyting from horseback riding to visiting Penn State Campus and even attending an Art's Fair. I cannot recommend this property highly enough! Thanks for another great week!!!!The Williams Family and the WilliamsCon Crew

We loved everything about this place. Beautiful home, tasteful furniture, Eric (the host) was very responsive and helpful in things to do, and we hope to find ourselves back here sometime. The view and outdoor deck was awesome. PS- the place was spotless when we checked in and they had even left multiple bouquets of fresh flowers throughout the house. 10/10!!

Great hosts and a great place. Views and nearby fishing were amazing.

great place for a big group

A long weekend with my parents, sisters and all of our children, 21 people in all. Plenty of space for everyone, the place is as advertised. Beautiful valley and mountain views, amazing porch/deck with fireplace that everyone gravitated to in the evenings. Lots of activities near by for the kids and adults alike.

The lodge was beautiful, very clean and well stocked! My husband and I took our children and grandchildren there and had a wonderful time!

This house is amazing and the pictures don’t do it justice. We used it as a base for my daughters wedding and it was so great to host friends and family coming and going with everything needed to make it fun and relaxing. The house was clean and spotless for us and the view is amazing too. We will miss laughs and drinks on the wrap around deck in the sunshine.
