Luxury Timber Frame Mountaintop Lodge, Stunning Views, 5 Suites, Chef's Kitchen

Perfect for Penn State (21 miles from the Lodge) visits and sporting events and concerts, make your next getaway an unforgettable experience at the Brush Mountain Lodge. Also check out our other brand new property just 10 miles away, the Mount Nittany Lodge (https://www.vrbo.com/2103232). With soaring 30 foot ceilings, indoor and outdoor fireplaces, 900 sq ft of deck space (partially covered), and a mountainside location, this heavy timber frame lodge offers rustic elegance with luxurious amenities, spectacular mountain and valley views, and the peaceful sounds of crackling fireplaces, babbling brooks, and tweeting birds.

Enjoy five king suites, a loft with 2 twin beds, and additional options to sleep up to 26 guests (extra beds can be added to 4 of the bedrooms and the second floor open loft area -- each bedroom can sleep 2, 4, 4, 5, and 5 guests each, the second floor open loft area can sleep 6 -- we set up the extra beds for you with fresh linens and bath towels for all guests). Note that the number of guests you enter in your reservation will determine pricing, as base rates are for up to 12 guests, with additional guests adding $75/guest. Your rental of the Lodge is private and the Lodge will be yours exclusively (no other guests or owners will be in the Lodge during your stay). While the Lodge is a great place to enjoy with friends and family, note that the Lodge is not suited for bachelor party type events where the Lodge can be damaged or there could be noise disruptions to the neighbors with whom we share the mountaintop.

Important -- While the Lodge is located in a remote and wooded mountaintop location on 5 acres, we do have several neighbors with whom we share the mountain. We respect our neighbors, and require that all our guests show this same respect, by keeping outdoor sound to a level that is respectful, especially after dark. Thanks for being a good neighbor :)

You, or your caterer, will enjoy the chef’s kitchen with commercial grade appliances for preparing meals and bringing your group together at the large 14+ seat dining table. Furniture can be rearranged and rented to create the perfect atmosphere for your event. The outdoor deck is large enough for intimate, seated ceremonies and includes a stunning stone wood burning fireplace for use year round with two more fireplaces inside. There is an HD 75" television with Dish Network in the 2nd floor open loft area, and a second television in the 3rd floor king bedroom.

Bring your group together at Brush Mountain Lodge for holiday get-togethers, Penn State events, weddings, anniversaries, corporate retreats, club meetings, and yoga/wellness weekends. In close proximity to Tussey Mountain, Bald Eagle State Park, and Penns Creek, it’s also the perfect place for you and your friends to kick back in front of a roaring fire after chasing the great elusive trout, tearing up epic mountain biking trails, or trail running one of the many nearby trails (Purple Lizard trail maps are provided in the Lodge for you to use).

While the lodge is your own private rental throughout your stay, our staff can be available via text, phone, or email to help you connect with preferred caterers, rental shops, and more. There is a private owner's apartment with private entrance in the lower walkout level of the Lodge that the owner utilizes parts of the year.

The Lodge has high speed internet and wifi for our guests, and Verizon and AT&T smart devices can also access cell phone calling and 4/5G data/email in most areas of the Lodge.

The Lodge has 35+ parking spaces on the premises, with additional parking close by as needed.

We are understanding that sometimes emergencies happen, or travel is not possible. With that in mind, we are happy to work with you to reschedule your stay with a full 100% credit toward a future stay. So if your plans change, please reach out to us asap.

Amazing lodge in Brush Valley
The house is tucked away in an extraordinary setting on Brush Mountain and is an extraordinary space. The exterior features a cascading stream, valley-wide views, and a huge partially covered porch perfect for outdoor remote work or relaxation. The interior has soaring ceilings, wide plank floors, and lovely lighting and other touches throughout. Eric was a great and highly attentive host. I highly recommend it and will look forward to coming back.

Intimate Wedding Weekend
We had a wonderful stay at Brush Mountain Lodge for our wedding weekend. We held all wedding events at the lodge. The space is even more beautiful in person and it was perfect for our group of 12, although it could comfortably accommodate more. We rented the apartment as well and enjoyed use of the hot tub. We enjoyed the little touches such as the flowers and personalized card, fire places with wood included, the well stocked kitchen, and most everything we could need. Eric was wonderful to work with from start to finish. He was responsive and answered any questions we had prior to and during the weekend. We would recommend this lodge to anyone wanting to celebrate in an intimate way or just relax in a beautiful lodge in the mountains.

Perfect place for a wedding weekend
We hosted our wedding weekend here and it truly could not have been any more perfect! The lodge team was super communicative and had the space perfectly prepped for our group and our rentals upon arrival. We were able to host a welcome dinner, a wedding ceremony and reception, and a brunch all in one location (which is not easy to find). At our max we had 70 guests in attendance. All of the guests raved about the property, and the lodge served as a perfect “home base” for our family through the festivities! Gave the feel of a destination right in our backyards… thank you brush mountain lodge!

A beautiful cabin retreat
A beautiful, well maintained, and appointed cabin retreat for our much delayed family reunion. It was everything we had hoped for and had a great long weekend there catching up and enjoying the local area. The property owners were very communicative, accommodating, and helpful during the entire process. We couldn't have asked for much more for our stay. Thanks so much.

Great gathering of old friends
A bunch of used to work at a restaurant together during our time at Penn State, now with a bunch of kids, it was finally great to get together in Happy Valley. This place was amazing! Perfect for everyone (we had 16 total stay there) and never felt cramped or too spaced out either. Plenty of spots to congregate and for kids to play. House is well taken care of and the communication with property manager was great! Highly recommend!

Amazing birthday weekend in the mountains
A group of friends spent a long weekend at Brush Mountain Lodge to celebrate a 40th birthday, and it far exceeded our expectations. The lodge is spectacular - in terms of amenities, layout, cleanliness, view, etc. Kitchen-- We cooked a few meals in, and the kitchen is one of the best appointed kitchens I've ever seen in a rental. The appliances, cookware, serve ware, etc. provided all that we needed and more. It was also the little things that helped -- spices, foil/cling wrap, extra cleaning supplies, etc. It was so great not to have to bring soaps, toiletries, and the like too. Bedrooms -- The layout of the house allowed for all couples to feel like they were in their own private space while still allowing for plenty of socializing in the common areas of the house. Pillows and beds - A+! Only complaint (and I hate even using that word) was lack of screen or light blocking option for the high windows in the second floor master. The sun definitely comes right in for that early wake-up! Outdoor spaces -- We were lucky enough that the March weather was mild enough that we were able to enjoy the fireplace on the side porch one night. Firewood and kindling was stocked for convenience. Ample seating. We also rented the lower apartment for two of the nights of our stay for extra rooms and to have access to the hot tub. Service - Eric was responsive to all questions, and even provided some hiking suggestions for our group. The fresh flowers upon arrival was a nice touch. If you're looking for luxury accommodations, this is your spot.

Super Home and Setting for any Group!
We were lucky to spend Thanksgiving here with extended family from NY to VA to MD and PA; it was the perfect central location. The kitchen is beautifully equipped for meals and cooking. There is plenty of room for people to be together or separate. It was comfortable, cozy and ideal for our family gathering. We'd love to return in the summer to take advantage of the outdoor spaces but we'll settle for another winter visit anytime! Eric (the owner) is very responsive and helped make our visit worry-free.

Views on Porches!
We loved our stay. The lodge is exactly as pictured, the views were great, and there were plenty of indoor things to do right at the lodge. We were within reasonable driving distance to other things to do like hiking, Penny’s Cave, and State College. Just know that if you are looking to have outdoor space to play the lodge is on a mountain side property with no real yard space. This wasn’t an issue with a nice playground a short drive down the road into Spring Mills. Definitely Recommend and already thinking about a return trip in the future!

If I could rate this establishment 10/5 I would. It offers amazing views, and every amenity under the sun. I highly recommend getting the apartment with the main lodge so that you have access to the fire pit and the hot tub. A true escape from the world that will have you asking why you didn't book sooner.
