About this house rental
The Kooser-Ankney Homestead (circa 1832) is a colonial farmhouse listed on the Somerset County (PA) Historic Register that has been lovingly restored. The property has convenient access to Seven Springs (11 miles), Hidden Valley (9 miles), and Laurel Hill State Park (4 miles), and is the perfect place to have a family gathering, enjoy a long weekend, or celebrate a special occasion.
The home features 4 original wood burning fireplaces and 2 gas fireplaces in the guest bedrooms. During warmer months, there is an outdoor fire pit for evenings filled with stargazing. Firewood is provided for guests.
There are three formal bedrooms as well as sleeper sofas on the enclosed porch and in the library. There is a 65" TV in the living room and a 55" TV in the library, with Bose surround sound. The library also features plenty of books and board games (and even a rolling ladder for the book shelves). There are three bathrooms, and the master bathroom features a corner Jacuzzi tub. A front load washer and dryer are available, and towels and linens are included with the rental.
The home is equipped with Starlink Internet. Guests of the property can also access our Electric Vehicle charger (220-Volt 50 Amps).
The chef's kitchen includes granite countertops, stainless steel appliances, a 6-burner gas stove, and two large sinks for meal preparation. An outdoor propane grill is located on the covered front porch with convenient access to the kitchen. The dining room has a large table that seats the entire family and is handcrafted from old beams found in the historic barn.
There are many special sites within driving distance to include Seven Springs, Hidden Valley, Frank Lloyd Wright’s Fallingwater and Kentuck Knob, Flight 93 Memorial, and Ohiopyle State Park (with whitewater rafting) as well as Bedford Springs Resort and Spa.

12 of us drove out from Pittsburgh to celebrate the 40th birthday of a close friend. The property was spectacular and was conveniently located close to Seven Springs. The kitchen was perfect for cooking dinner for a big group, the dining room had a great ambiance for facilitating dinner-time conversations, and the double fireplace in the living room kept our entire group cozy through the cold nights. Will definitely be staying here again.

We have stayed at this property a few times now and it always exceeds our expectations. The home is absolutely gorgeous, the amenities are top notch, and the property owners could not be nicer to deal with. We have been lucky enough to get snow each time we visited and the real working fireplaces make for the most amazing winter getaway. However, we wouldn’t hesitate renting this beautiful home any time of the year! If you’re looking for a perfect mountain stay, don’t hesitate and book this home!

This historic brick farmhouse is one of the best VRBO properties we’ve ever booked. It has been restored to an authentic Central Pennsylvania delight. The wood floors gleam, the kitchen is fully stocked with housewares, the three bathrooms were spotless and in perfect working order. Beautiful, comfortable beds. There were only three of us, but could have easily included several more. We highly recommend this place!

This was a true getaway for a family of chefs! The kitchen gave 3 chefs the elbow room to work their magic and all the family to flow into the space and visit (rare treat!...The cd collection of John Denver & Celine Dion rarer still!)The many hearths, dining spaces, lounging areas and indoor/outdoor gathering areas were perfect for breaking bread, family games and connecting. The back 40 beckoned for a game of flag football. Time stood still here. The tranquility of this space kept us here for the entire time. We were loathe to leave it and each other. Thank you, Chris and Dawn. Your home is magical. -Jennifer M
