Middleburg, Pennsylvania
You will not want to miss this unique spot surrounded by woods and a beautiful view of the mountains, enjoyable from both the outside deck or inside the 25-foot Great Room. This special house was created in 2005 by a man who relocated here from Long Island, NY. It is far from your typical farm house in Snyder County, but with all the same great views and privacy.
You enter up steps to the private entrance into the game room, then you can take a few steps up to the stunning Great Room where you find a beautiful double staircase to the top floor. The Blue House on the Hill, surrounded by 69 acres of farmland, is calling your name for your next trip away from home, whether you are in the area to visit your college student, or just want a getaway to a peaceful location for a few days.
You will have access to the top two spacious floors of the house (owner lives on the first floor), which includes a full kitchen, game room, Great Room, one large bedroom, one small bedroom, a laundry area, and 2.5 bathrooms. The house can sleep up to 12, two to a bed, one on the couch, and five memory foam 5 inch floor mattresses. You also have access to the walking trails in the woods and the grass area outside the house for games (we have some available) or relaxing.
Enjoy a meal on one of the two decks (grill available), look for some wildlife such as deer or turkeys, adventure on the walking trails in the surrounding woods, play a game of pool with your family, admire the beautiful woodwork throughout the house, and relish a relaxing night in the jacuzzi.
The house is 8 miles from Susquehanna University, 16 miles from Bucknell University, and 56 miles from Penn State University. There are several small towns nearby such as Middleburg, Mifflinburg, and Selinsgrove. On the "strip" near Selinsgrove there are many restaurants and places to shop. There is a really nice park in Selinsgrove called Kids Grove. The house is 29 miles from Knoebels Grove in Elysburg.
Its a beautiful house on a hill (as in the title) but whats not in the title is how breathtaking the view is. Loads of games in the house to play and an amazing little jacuzzi for warming up after cold night. Definitely worth booking for a little getaway
Great house, exactly as described. Very pleased!
House is just as listed and pictured on VRBO and is very interesting. It was perfect for what we needed, it was very well stocked with a brand new container of milk, eggs, cereals, bread, granola bars, etc. The property outside the house is fantastic with great mountain views and a large firepit. Very pleased with our stay!
Very wonderful place. So peaceful and relaxing. All was just as described. We are so so glad we found this home and made our plans to stay here. Truly a Blessing!
The view is spectacular! The yard is so wonderful. We can't believe how much work was done outside on this property. Then we go in the house. WOW, just WOW. The interior Living room and game room, such intricate woodwork. Just amazing. This is a home not just a VRBO. We only had 1 night, would love to go back.
We enjoyed our stay at the Blue House on the Hill. It was a very clean and unique place to stay. Property was as advertised and owner was highly responsive and hospitable.
Wonderful property, everything was as described. Will visit again!
Turning off the highway and onto the dark lane leading us to the home we had rented for the next four nights, was nowhere near an accurate prep for the astonishing home we entered once we got to the end of the lane! We had no clue, except that we had seen the photos before renting it, but I have to admit we did not look at the photos closely enough. My mouth fell open at the astonishing woodwork everywhere....not just around the front door as we entered, but every doorway to every room downstairs, on every stitch of molding from floor to ceiling, it was all carved with the most never-before-seen patterns, not by me, anyway! Spiral pillars framed windows in the big room, adorable spokes on two others on the front wall, and adorning both sides of the big room was a huge stairwell, with graceful spiral baluster posts. The cathedral ceiling was covered with patterned panels that had my daughter threatening to lay on her back the entire time there to just relax and relish the visual artistry. Another of my fav features were the panels that made up the ceiling in the upstairs master bedroom! You just have to see it to believe it! I've never seen anything like it! Then, there was the elegant wallpaper with muted antique designs that felt to the touch like cloth, and the piano with the huge framed music to Amazing Grace carved in wood! For convenience sake, there were not one, not two, but three bathrooms. One in the upstairs had a huge tub with jacuzzi jets! The downstairs bathroom had multiple switch panels with switches connecting each individual light or fan in the big room to power. While only two bedrooms, there were multiple folded floor mattresses in the corners of two or three rooms. (I need to find out where they got them, too, as they were no ordinary floor mattresses......so comfortable! We actually got to use them one night when the baby was fussing in her room upstairs, and being grandparents now, we are no longer used to a baby's fussing, so we removed ourselves to floor mattresses downstairs. But, as a 'princess and the pea' type of sleeper, I was pleasantly surprised to find I slept very well, not a typical 'sleep on the floor' age for most. All other amenities can be seen on Dennis and Lori's rental page. But we cannot finish without saying they were The Best, get Ten Stars from us!
Loved the house, very kitschy. pool table and ping pong table located just off the kitchen. kitchen was a good size, plenty of room for family gatherings. deck off of the kitchen, gorgeous views from every window and door. fire pit with plenty of chairs. host provided an enormous amount of food and treats. my only criticism is the property description states sleeps 12 BUT there are only 2 bedrooms. fortunately, we are a family with kids, but if we were a party of 12 adults, there is NO privacy unless you are lucky enough to be in a bedroom. the one large bedroom had 2 beds.....most adults DO NOT want to share a room with other adults. the 2nd bedroom was VERY small. not much room for 2 adults and belongings. Additionally, there seemed to be no way to control the heat.....we slept with the window open in 30 degree weather because it was so hot in our room. i felt guilty wasting heat, but we could not sleep comfortably with the heat that high. overall, the house is a great value, but just be aware if you have more than 6 people in your party, somebody will be sleeping on the floor on a mattress with no where to put their clothes and other personal items.
It’s the second time we stayed at this house. Beautiful home and landscape and we were welcomed with cookies and everything we needed. I’m grateful we found this place!
The grounds AND the home are beautiful. We checked in, cooked spaghetti and played in the game room as long as we could stand it. All the woodwork was mesmerizing to look at. I literally watched the sun rise over the mountains on one of the decks with supplied coffee and breakfast before more ping pong and eggs and juice provided. Communication was great and we absolutely want to come back!
What an enjoyable place to stay! From the moment you pull up to the front door, it is easy to tell host, Lori, pours her heart and soul into making one's stay wonderful and absolutely stress-free.
Lori, the property owner, lists her home as The Blue House on the Hill, but it is so much more!! If you are looking for an incredibly unique place to stay, plenty to do on the property, and feel right at home at the same place, look no further! We only stayed one night, but waking up and having breakfast items available while enjoying that view, was perfect!
Beautiful place that was very comfortable for my family. The deck made our morning coffee time enjoyable.
This place is absolutely gorgeous, tastefully decorated, and spotlessly clean. And Lori is an amazing host.
Stayed with my wife and our kids (14, 18). The house is warm and welcoming and spotless. The hosts thought of everything and we all had a wonderful stay. The kids played ping pong and pool for hours. My wife and I sat outside by the fire and relaxed.
Delightful home with gracious hosts!
Beautiful house, beautiful view!
