Firetower Chalet: Majestic views+private 60 acres

Welcome to the Firetower Chalet, where classic family charm meets breathtaking countryside views! If you're longing to wake up to amazing vistas and immerse yourself in 70 acres of private Pennsylvania wilderness, look no further!

Our chalet draws inspiration from the fire watch towers found in the enchanting western forests. It's all yours to enjoy, and we've designed it with your comfort and joy in mind. On the first floor, you'll find a cozy living area equipped with comfy seating and a smart TV for your entertainment. The fully stocked kitchen is fit-for-a-chef, boasting a refrigerator, electric stove, oven, microwave, French press, Keurig, toaster, and waffle-maker. Oh, and don't forget the bathroom – it's got a spacious shower, sink, and toilet for your convenience.

Upstairs, the master bedroom awaits, showcasing a queen bed with a plush tuft and needle adaptive foam mattress. But the real showstopper is the jaw-dropping panoramic view of the Pennsylvania mountains and countryside, visible from the windows all around. Under the bed, we've stashed some drawers for your clothing and other essentials, including extra linens just in case. Need more space? Upstairs also has a delightful loft area, perfect for kids or another group, complete with a cozy carpet and a mattress.

And that's not all! Outside, you'll be enchanted by the wraparound balcony offering 360-degree views of the countryside – the perfect spot to create beautiful memories with your loved ones. And if you're up for a unique experience, explore our cable suspended bridge leading to a treehouse-style platform. Plus, there's a downstairs patio with an outdoor propane warmer, fire-pit, and a hammock – everything you need to unwind and bask in the beauty of nature.

On top of all this, the Firetower Chalet is nestled on 70 acres of pristine Pennsylvania countryside, waiting for you to explore. Wander along gentle hills, diverse terrains, and private wooded trails – perfect for hiking, biking, or cross-country skiing. Keep your eyes peeled for wildlife like deer, bear, and turkey, and enjoy the natural splendors of the gorgeous Susquehanna valley. It's a secluded and remote haven that promises to make your stay truly special.

Should you need anything or have any questions, we're just a message or call away. Your comfort and happiness are our top priorities!

Venturing beyond the chalet, you're just 3 minutes away from the vibrant town of Bloomsburg, offering diverse offerings, a top-rated theatre group, and activities at Bloomsburg University. And if you're looking for family fun, the #1 family amusement park in the country, Knoebels, is a mere 10-15 minutes away.

Getting to the property may be an adventure, but it's well worth it. Ideally, a 4-wheel drive vehicle is preferred, especially in inclement weather. But don't worry, if you don't have one, we can lend you our trusty farm truck. Two bikes are also available for your off-road explorations on the property.

The Firetower Chalet is a truly unique gem, a cozy retreat inspired by West coast firetowers, boasting all modern comforts. We're more than happy to provide you with information about the area and fun activities on-site.

Whether you're a couple seeking a romantic escape, a small family yearning for quality time, or an adventurous traveler in search of new horizons, our chalet welcomes you with open arms throughout the seasons. So, come and experience the magic of Central Pennsylvania in all its spring, summer, fall, and winter glory. We can't wait to share this enchanting experience with you!

At peace with nature
The perfect getaway to relax and enjoy time outdoors. We spent the entire three days walking the miles of private trails, sitting on the upstairs deck reading, and sitting around the fire pit at night stargazing and chatting. The host saw that we had everything necessary to create memories for years to come.

Great Getaway
My wife and I wanted to get away for a few days and this location did not disappoint. Easy in/out considering how private it is. We walked on one of the many tails on the property and really enjoyed the peace and quiet. The communication with Chris was simple and without delay. Bloomsburg is literally right up the road and has a quaint downtown with some restaurants. We also spent the day in Jim Thorpe and rode the train and walked around and visited a few shops and restaurants.

Amazing!
Everything about our stay was perfect! The Firetower has everything you need. If you want to stay in and cook your own dinner, everything‘s provided if you want to go out there’s tons of options for restaurants nearby. If you just want to stay on the property and relax and hike around, you see tons of wildlife. If you want to explore, there’s endless options. We did a little bit of both Ricketts Glenn is about 40 minutes away with hiking and waterfalls. Well worth it. We went kayaking at Montour preserve. Also enjoyed our time at the Firetower out by the bonfire and hiking the trails. You definitely won’t be disappointed staying here.

A Resplendent Respite
This property is as beautiful as the pictures show and exactly as advertised. It is the perfect place to unplug and recharge! The view from the deck is amazing, with the sunrise being a particular stunner. The host is very helpful and communicative. The Firetower itself was tidy and cozy with very thoughtful touches. Be prepared to welcome a family flock of wild turkeys wandering through the yard to join you for breakfast or meet some curious deer friends as you explore the property trails. :-)

In the Woods as Promised 🙂
The quiet, the woods, the morning sun greeting us - all we could have asked for in a retreat. We saw lots of wildlife and the view of the mountains was a mind painting we will take home. The Fire Tower was close to restaurants and anything you would need in Bloomsburg. We had two great days at Knoebels Amusement Park my childhood Happy Place. It could be your adult version too!! Ricketts Glen State Park offered a challenging hike. Lots to do nearby with a cool property to explore.

The location is close to everything yet very secluded and relaxing. We stayed for graduation weekend at Bloomsburg University and truly enjoyed out stay. The host was very responsive and the upon arriving everything was well prepared and ready for our stay. I would stay at this property again and will recommend it to others staying in the area.

Drove up, parked the car and hung out in nature until it was time to go
We wanted a break from the city and we really enjoyed this house. We spent lots of time on the upper deck listening to the birds. The view is great. The mowed paths are many and great to walk around on - well marked too. The tree farm is cool to see. It’s a well designed little spot with nice touches of style. Very clean, comfy bed, pillows and sheets, lots of blankets too! We played the in-house guitar and the cajon drum as well. Fun time!

Fantastic stay in Bloomsburg
The communication from Chris was very thorough. Before we arrived, we were given very detailed instructions on how to navigate the property along with his contact information. The place was exactly as beautiful as it was described in the listing. Fire tower is surrounded by nature and we felt isolated but also, it’s just a short drive to get into downtown Bloomsburg. Waking up to the sunrise was our favorite part. We will definitely be back to stay at Fire Tower in the future!!

Good times
Overall, I enjoyed my time without significant disturbance. However, I did notice quads on the property and someone walking their dog a few feet from the house, which slightly disrupted my desire for absolute privacy and disconnect. Nonetheless, clear instructions for access and operation of amenities made for a hassle-free experience without the need to contact anyone.

Favorite house we’ve ever rented
Our stay here was absolutely perfect to celebrate 10 years together! The house was even better than the photos and super clean. The host was very nice and replied quickly when we had questions. Beautiful property to explore. Would LOVE to come back in another time of year! Only con we found is that locking the door at night only consists of a chain lock (which is very easily unlockable from the outside) but we brought a portable door lock we had to feel more safe & comfortable. However, the farm is very private and I’m sure safe but I am a worrier lol the pros deff out weighed the one con though.

Peacefull Anniversary in the Woodland
Always looking for unique places to stay for our anniversary, the beautiful Firetower offered georgous views and a sense of being alone in the wilderness. We enjoyed the adventure of driving the gravel road up the hill (our Toyota Prius handled it no problem) and were glad that the weather was good for our early November stay. We are fortunate at age 70, to still be nimble enough to climb the stairs to the 2nd level bedroom and the wrap-around deck. We enjoyed hiking the property, exploring Bloomsburg, spent a couple amazing hours at Bill's Old Bike Barn, and enjoyed driving by Knobles and dreaming of returning again on warm summer days. We enjoyed every minute of our stay.

Secluded Getaway, Great Location
Firetower was exactly as described and depicted in the photos. It is a hidden gem secluded on a beautiful property, yet is only 5 minutes from downtown Bloomsburg if you need any essentials. Communication from Chris was proactive in advance and very helpful. Our stay was only 2 days, but it was just what we had in mind for our Wedding anniversary. Highly recommend a trip to Ricketts Glen State Park to see the waterfalls, which was only a ~35 minute drive from Firetower. We certainly have intentions of returning to Firetower again in the future and have already started mapping out our return trip.

Beautiful Chalet and Views
Private and secluded with only a small distance to downtown Bloomsburg. The bridge and sitting area was super neat. Loved the second floor area. Great views. The kitchen had everything we needed (pots, pans, silverware, plates, bowls, etc). Hammock, fire pit, and swinging chair outside was a plus. We walked the property for a quiet stroll. The only downfall, which is expected outdoors in the woods. Lots of mosquitoes. Definitely pack repellent. Will be planning a future visit here or the other Tower!!

The house was a great time! The home was clean, cozy, and very private. My negative take away is that the downstairs main door does not have a lock and the second floor is surrounded by windows which have a beautiful view but would also be nice to have either curtains or blinds to use if wanted while sleeping.
