SHOWINGS START MAY 30, 2026. NEW PHOTOS ARE UP! VIDEOS AND PROPERTY DISCLOSURES FOR EACH BUILDING COMING SOON. Cherry Ridge Cabins is an 11-acre cabin retreat and income-producing hospitality property in Boggs Township, just 25 minutes from Penn State and Beaver Stadium, offering a rare combination of rental cabins, event space, and owner-operator living in the mountains of Central Pennsylvania. Located near Bald Eagle State Park, Sproul State Forest, and Pennsylvania State Game Lands Number 92, this property is positioned for short-term rental demand tied to Penn State events, trout fishing, hunting, hiking, reunions, retreats, and outdoor recreation. The property includes six rentable cabins, a 1,200-square-foot social hall with commercial-style gathering potential, and a 2,000-square-foot contemporary single-family home built in 2004. The home features 3 bedrooms, 2 full baths, vaulted ceilings in the family room, cherry hardwood flooring, hickory cabinetry, an open-concept kitchen/dining/living area, attached 1-car garage, partially finished basement, and multi-level decking. The home could serve as an owner’s residence, property manager quarters, or an additional rental opportunity. Cabin configurations include a rustic log cabin, multiple 2-bedroom units, a 3-bedroom cabin, an efficiency unit, and a 1-bedroom cabin, with an overall sleeping capacity of approximately 27 guests across the property. All cabins include kitchens, living areas, heat, and furnishings. Several cabins are already in strong condition, while others would benefit from cosmetic updates including flooring, appliances, paint, furnishings, and deck refinishing. Structurally, the buildings are sound and positioned for phased improvements over time. The social hall seats approximately 50 guests and includes a kitchen, separate men’s and women’s bathrooms, and year-round usability, creating opportunities for family reunions, church retreats, hunting camps, fishing groups, wellness retreats, corporate gatherings, and Penn State football weekends. Two outdoor pavilions, a functioning cedar-lined sauna, a pole barn, and the original sawmill building add additional utility and character to the property. The location is a major part of the long-term value proposition. The property is approximately: 14 minutes to Bald Eagle State Park and Sayers Lake, 10 minutes to Interstate 80, 5 minutes to State Game Lands 92, 15–20 minutes to renowned trout fishing on Bald Eagle Creek and Spring Creek, & 25 minutes to Penn State University and Beaver Stadium This area draws consistent seasonal demand from Penn State visitors, fly fishermen, hunters, hikers, mountain bikers, and outdoor recreation travelers looking for lodging near Central Pennsylvania’s public lands and recreational corridors. For investors, the opportunity here is not based on the current operation. The current ownership has operated the property in a more traditional and limited capacity without leveraging modern short-term rental platforms such as Airbnb or VRBO. The value lies in what the property can become with thoughtful repositioning, strategic upgrades, and professional marketing. There is room to expand the existing concept with additional cabins, glamping accommodations, enhanced outdoor gathering areas, upgraded HVAC systems such as mini-splits, and stronger event programming. Properties with this level of infrastructure already in place — multiple cabins, event space, owner housing, well/septic systems, and proximity to Penn State plus public recreation — are increasingly difficult to replicate at today’s construction costs. For buyers looking for a hospitality investment property, retreat center, hunting lodge operation, family compound, or cabin rental business near State College and Penn State, Cherry Ridge Cabins presents a compelling value-add opportunity with substantial upside potential.

Taylors Woods. Conveying mineral rights and 190 acres in Howard, Pennsylvania, situated within five minutes of Pennsylvania State Game Lands 92 and the Sproul State Forest boundary — with Bald Eagle State Park less than ten minutes away. Together these public lands and recreational resources place Taylors Woods at the center of one of the most accessible outdoor corridors in Central Pennsylvania. Bald Eagle State Park's reservoir offers bass, pike, and muskie fishing, while Bald Eagle Creek — a Class B trout stream — feeds directly into it. State Game Lands 92 and Sproul State Forest provide thousands of acres of huntable public ground within a short drive of the cabin. The forest at Taylors Woods has been evaluated by Calvin Norman, CCF, TSP, Audubon Certified Forester with Blue Ox Nursery & Forestry. The property contains four distinct habitat types. The upper ridge is dominated by chestnut oak, white oak, and hickory — recently opened by harvest, now developing early-successional browse and native understory including blueberry, wild rose, and teaberry. The lower slope transitions into a red maple stand dense enough to support a small-scale maple syrup operation. Two hemlock stands — one on the north end and one in the southern section — provide thermal bedding cover that concentrates deer on the property through winter. Vernal streams run through the land toward the adjacent Little Marsh Creek corridor, creating a wildlife travel funnel that draws deer, turkey, and other game onto the property to bed and feed. Multiple log landings are distributed throughout the 190 acres — cleared, ATV-accessible openings that are natural food plot development sites requiring minimal investment. Existing tree stands are in place. A formal deer management program can be established through landowner tags or enrollment in Pennsylvania's Deer Management Assistance Program. Forest management practices including water bar installation, native seeding, and regeneration protection are eligible for cost-share funding through NRCS EQIP/CSP — the PA Woodland Resilience Enhancement Network can fund up to $25,000 in qualifying improvements. A named trail network runs throughout the property, accessible by ATV or foot, connecting the upper ridge to the lower slope stands and reaching every major habitat feature on the 190 acres. The 1,800 square foot cabin is renovated and move-in ready. Vaulted wood ceilings, skylights, stone fireplace, granite countertops, main-floor bedroom, full bath, half bath, and loft. Metal roof, 200+ amp service, well, septic, propane, wood stove, and ductless mini-split. Appliances and washer/dryer included. Outdoor fire pit, storage shed, and room to add a garage, pole barn, or additional structure. Minutes from I-80. Approximately 30 minutes to State College and Penn State. Reachable from Philadelphia, Pittsburgh, New York, New Jersey, Baltimore, and Washington in a day's drive.
