Our Cabin

Since I often mention our cabin getaway
I thought it was time to share
some photos...
It is located in the middle of Bald Eagle State Forest
in cental PA, an hour northwest of
Harrisburg and 45 minutes southeast
of State College. It sits on approximately three acres,
and is on a private lane with a about a dozen other
cabins, all weekenders. As of yet no one lives
their full time but we hope to retire there someday.

This is the view at the end of our driveway
looking down the lane.
This was taken across the lane, down at the stream.
We are fortunate enough tobe surrounded by
 lots of wildlife. Black bear, wild turkey, deer, bobcat,
quail, eagles, great north owls, an abundance of all sorts of birds, my favorite being all the hummingbirds.
This was taken during the summer in the State Forest,
This was taken on that same bridge, about three years ago
with my youngest son Alex.
I hope you enjoyed our little trip to my favorite place...
now you know why I mention it so often!

  7. Hi Diva. OMG what a beautiful cabin. I can't blame you for wanting to be there. The picture of you and Alex remind me of my son Ty and I. He's tall and always towered over me. Hee-hee. I love your surroundings, what a blessing to have and a completely relaxing place to be.

    Have a blessed Sunday Dear friend. Hugs...Tracy :)

  14. Oh, I'm trying so hard not to be jealous!!! I know it would be wrong. I'm so thrilled that you have such a wonderful place to spend time with your family and relax a bit. The thought of living there when you retire is such a great one. Another blog friend has a wonderful cabin in the mountains of Oregon and I told her once that I wished we could build a cabin - she reminded me of our travel trailer and the fact that we can take if anywhere. Now I call it my 'cabin-on-wheels'. Wouldn't it be fun someday in the future if we could take off in our little cabin-on-wheels and head your direction to see your cabin?
