Claire House on the Creek
A Peaceful Retreat on Middle Spring Creek I had a fantastic stay at this Airbnb in Shippensburg! The location on Middle Spring Creek is absolutely beautiful—both the kitchen-side porch and the balcony provide stunning views of the water, making it the perfect spot to relax with a morning coffee or unwind in the evening. The house itself was spotless and well-stocked with everything needed for a comfortable stay. The kitchen had all the essentials for cooking meals, and the hosts clearly put thought into making guests feel at home. One of my favorite parts of the property was the outdoor picnic area. It’s a great place to enjoy a meal outside while listening to the soothing sounds of the creek. The peaceful, scenic surroundings make this Airbnb feel like a true retreat, while still being conveniently located near Shippensburg’s amenities. Overall, I highly recommend this place.

Edgewater Lodge
My brothers and I had an amazing stay! The location was absolutely beautiful—peaceful and scenic, perfect for a getaway. The place was spotless and well-maintained, which we really appreciated. We especially loved the firepit— we had a beautiful clear night under the stars. Highly recommend, and we’d definitely stay again!

Sassafras Hollow
we were looking for a small cabin to escape to for a few days and this one couldn't have been more perfect. everything was hand crafted and beautifully detailed, built by the owner and his son's with so much love!! we had such a peaceful time at sassafras hollow. Our first night we spent the evening roasting marshmallows by the lake nearby. the second day I was lucky enough to participate in a workshop hosted in the owner's woodshop right on the property! I chose to turn a wood bowl and it was a very tactile experience! the cabin is stocked nicely with records and books and movies. Do keep in mind, most establishments are at least 30 minutes away, so it may be worth preparing and bringing enough food for your stay. that's what we did and it was so nice to have everything we needed on hand. the kitchenette is a bit small, but had everything we needed to prepare a lovely dinner. I cannot recommend this gorgeous cabin enough! such crisp air and stunning views!

Riverfront Cottage with a large enclosed porch!
Beautiful location and very relaxing. Cottage was very clean and the coffee and tea was a nice bonus. Highly recommend for a couple wanting to get away.

Charming Historic Barn Studio
Book your stay NOW! Lonny and Amanda were the most amazing hosts. They were great to communicate with and the most hospitable people. Amanda answered all questions quickly and thoroughly. And Lonny was there for our every need. From letting us in and showing us door codes to bringing us flashlights and making sure we were okay when a wind storm knocked out power. Truly wonderful people! The photos of the studio don’t do it justice. It is much bigger than it seems. It is spotless, cozy, and equipped with all the amenities you could ask for. If you didn’t know better you would have zero idea the studio was in a barn! The barn itself was amazing. Aged with beauty. The animals were wonderful. The horses were amazing. The scenery was breathtaking taking on the property and the surrounding areas. And we absolutely fell in love with the tabby barn cat who was vocal and as sweet as can be. The cat was just as hospitable as Lonny and Amanda! I would recommend this stay to everyone!

The Crowe's Lounge
We stayed here for 3 nights in February 2025. It was ideal for what we were looking for which was a place where we could bring our dog and enjoy a relaxing weekend. The view from the house is amazing. We especially enjoyed getting to know the deer that mingled around the property all weekend. Instructions and recommendations from the host were clear and very helpful, especially about the driveway leading up to the house. We were nervous about not having 4WD and only a minivan, but we were able to reach the house without issue. Can't wait to visit again!

A secluded organic farm minutes from PA turnpike
Carrie's stay was perfect for our fall family getaway! Very peaceful and cozy! There was plenty of room for all of us and a great common area to gather for meals and games! We did a day trip to Gettysburg (an hour from the house) and had a great time. Highly recommend!

Foot of the Mountain Cottage
The cottage was exactly what the doctor ordered this weekend for my family as we came into town to celebrate the life and passing of my amazing grandmother. It was THE coziest space I have ever spent time in and we felt right at home as soon as we arrived. Cathy greeted us on the porch, and welcomed us inside with warmth, and not just from Cathy’s heart, but the cottage was all toasty and warm, thanksCathy! 🥰 Everything was as described and more. The fireplace in the TV stand was absolutely amazing. Thank you so much for opening your amazing space to us and others. I will definitely be back the next time I’m in town!
Your guide to Blue Mountain
All About Blue Mountain
Towering over the northern horizon of Eastern and Central Pennsylvania, Blue Mountain, also referred to as Blue Mountain Ridge, is a ridgeline of the ancient Appalachian Mountains extending over 255 miles and home to a wide variety of Pennsylvania’s geographic features and cultural regions. There are four major rivers that create water gaps through the mountain: the Delaware, the Lehigh, the Schuylkill, and the Susquehanna.
In the center of Blue Mountain is the capital region of Harrisburg, where mountain meets metropolitan. Other nearby communities include the Lebanon Valley’s farm land, as well York and Lancaster Counties that are rich with the history of the Pennsylvania Dutch who settled there.
The best time to stay in a vacation rental in Blue Mountain
The wide geographic range of the Blue Mountain creates a variety of climate conditions. The southeastern part of the region tends to be much warmer year-round than the northern areas, because it is the only area where the mountains don’t block the Atlantic Ocean. Winters often get below freezing across the region, with lots of snowfall suitable for skiing or snowboarding during your stay in a Blue Mountain rental.
Spring into early summer is tornado season in the state, which often leads to dangerous conditions on the mountains, so be cautious on the roads. Late summer can also see extreme heat in the southeastern region, but it is a bit cooler in the mountains or in the more northern regions, making it a good time to go out exploring the many trails of the mountain. In the fall, the valleys in the central and northern regions do get cold quickly due to the mountain winds, setting the mood for the numerous fall festivals in Harrisburg and the surrounding townships.
Top things to do in Blue Mountain
Delaware Water Gap Recreation Area
Just on the eastern border of the Blue Mountain Ridge are 70,000 acres of national recreation area. Within this massive park you can visit a number of historical and cultural attractions including early Dutch settlement structures, the Minisink Archeological Site, and Millbrook Village. Canoeing, horseback riding, and cross-country skiing are only a few of the many activities you can enjoy there.
Hawk Mountain Sanctuary
This sanctuary in Albany Township has conducted the world’s longest-running record of migrating raptor populations. The visitor center offers a number of lookout trails where you can view these majestic birds and up to 70 miles of Pennsylvania landscape. Additionally, there are nine trails for hikers of all experience that connect the Sanctuary to the Appalachian trail.
Boyd Big Tree Preserve Conservation Area
This mature tree sanctuary in Lower Paxton is on the southern side of the region and is nearly 1,000 acres of forest. Unlike a state park or recreation area, there is as little human development on this land, but you can explore ten and a half miles of trails via hike or cross-country ski depending on the time of year.
