Property Description
Where the road ends, Little Bear Lodge begins. Tucked away at the end of a gravel drive, Little Bear Lodge offers a peaceful woodland retreat surrounded by approximately 25,000 acres of Rothrock State Forest. Situated on leased DCNR land, this well-maintained camp delivers the privacy, tranquility & authentic Pennsylvania forest setting that make time spent in the mountains so special. Far enough away to unplug yet close enough to escape whenever you want, this is the kind of place where weekends slow down, everyday distractions fade away & time in the woods takes center stage. Inside, the cabin offers 3 bedrooms & 1 full bath with a warm, rustic atmosphere made for gathering with family & friends. The living room features a wood-burning fireplace, while the fully equipped kitchen delivers a wood stove, adding to the classic camp experience. One of Little Bear Lodge's most inviting spaces is the spacious screened-in porch, brings the surrounding forest into view while a propane fireplace adds warmth for cooler mornings & evenings. Propane forced-air heat provides additional comfort, the propane tank is leased through Suburban Propane. A spring-fed water system supplies a 375-gallon holding tank located on the mountain behind the cabin, providing water to the camp. The seller maintains a separate water lease agreement with the Commonwealth at a cost of $25 every 10 years, while an indoor holding tank serves the toilet. Being sold AS-IS with furnishings & appliances included, Little Bear Lodge makes it easy to settle in & start enjoying your time in the woods. Pack your clothes, bring the groceries & start making memories. With Rothrock State Forest as your playground, outdoor adventure is never far away. Spend your days exploring the forest, taking in the abundant wildlife or simply enjoying the peace & quiet of the mountain surroundings. Nearby Whipple Dam State Park offers even more opportunities to experience the beauty of Central Pennsylvania. Despite its secluded setting, Little Bear Lodge is conveniently located just 17 miles from downtown State College, approximately 15 minutes from Routes 322 & 26, only 25 minutes from Penn State University & Beaver Stadium, with the Centre County line just a short distance away. The cabin is situated on land leased through the Pennsylvania DCNR State Forest Lease Campsite Program. The annual land lease is for 10 years & buyers must meet DCNR lease qualifications. The property is not permitted for full-time residence but is accessible year-round. The DCNR land lease will transfer at closing, subject to applicable requirements. Buyers should review the PA State Forest Lease Campsite Program information attached to the listing & allow flexibility in the closing timeline to accommodate the lease-transfer process which takes approximately 4-6 weeks to complete. Buyers closing timeline should remain flexible to accommodate this potential waiting period. Seller would perfer a closing time between December 1st - December 31st.
