We are so thrilled to finally be ready to open our cabin as our main B&B at Oak 
Mountain Hideaway! We are currently offering two rooms in the main house on Airbnb, but we will be offering the entire cabin which will hold 4-6 people (depending on if some wouldn’t mind using an air mattress!) The cabin has one bedroom and a futon in the great room, so it will easily accommodate four people. There is one bath with a shower, a kitchen and the great room. The porch has a gorgeous view where you can get up early to watch the deer grazing (the deer also come out in the evening, if you’re not an early riser) and we have the second darkest skies in Pennsylvania so star gazing is phenomenal! The weekend of our Grand Opening also happens to be the peak of the Perseid Meteor Shower, so you may want to book a camping spot!
Here are the details for the Grand Opening:
(This is an ADULT ONLY event) 18+
We will offer primitive camping – a spot to pitch a tent (and we’ll have a port-a-john) for $10/night for a tent with up to four people. You may camp Saturday, or Sunday or both.
On Saturday, August 11, from 5:00-7:00 PM we will open the property to anyone wishing to camp overnight. First come – first pick of your spot.
From 7:00-9:00 PM we will have live music by local musicians and one of our recent House Concert performers, Austin MacRae from Ithaca, NY!
Here is the lineup:
Also from 7-9PM, we will be offering tours of North Star Cabin, aka ‘Bill’s house’ from the movie, Generational Sins, it will feature some remnants of the film and behind the scene photos! We hope to also have a food vendor or two so you can purchase food during the evening.
At around 9PM Spencer T. Folmar, Director and co-writer of the script, will be on hand to introduce the film! We are very fortunate and excited to have him here with us for this screening! He will be in the area working on his next Hard Faith film, Shooting Heroin. Cost for the outdoor screening is $7/person.
When the movie is over, we will have a campfire (weather permitting) but it will be extinguished and quiet time will begin at 11:00 PM. We have previously booked Hipcampers who chose our location in order to view the Perseid Meteor Shower and we promised them DARK SKIES so all lights will be put out at 11 PM on Saturday and Sunday night. Bring your chairs and blankets and dress for the weather. We will have a tent in case of inclement weather. All activities will still go on under the cover of the tent.
If you choose to camp here for the weekend, there is plenty to do in the area! Visit Clearfield County has a host of resources to help you plan your activities based on your interest. There is hiking, canoeing and kayaking (the West Branch of the Susquehanna is only one mile from our property – bring a tube and float!) and elk viewing – you don’t have to travel all the way to Benezette – there are good sized herds just a few miles from here. Or, you can just sit back and relax and enjoy the property, we have tons of birds and wildlife to entertain you. You can play yard games or just enjoy some downtime away from technology, unplugged! If you can’t bear to be disconnected, we do get a good signal with Verizon. AT&T… not so much.
On Sunday, August 12 at 7PM we’re super excited to be hosting Wildeyes for a house concert!
Deep Nashville roots, rich Western influence, a veritable fortune of experiences touring in support of a-list artists, and a non-sexy, woodshed, 1950ʼs American work-ethic have unified Daniel and Emily Kohavi and Max Hoffman to forge the marvel of Wildeyes.
A writing machine, Wildeyes has the uncanny ability to viscerally connect across generations, ideologies and genres with pure American music wandering South and West. Wildeyes performances are inimitable gifts that sonically, visually and emotionally retrieve and elevate you.
If the weather cooperates, we are hoping to do this show as a campfire session. For the outdoor show, bring lawn chairs or a blanket.
