About this property

Comfortable Lakefront Farmhouse - Fish, swim, kayak, relax and enjoy the view!

Nestled in a quiet valley, Sugar Lake is one of NW Pennsylvania's 50 glacial lakes. Enjoy days and evenings relaxing on the wrap around porch enjoying wildlife and the scenic views of the lake. At any time you can see a trumpeter swan, a gaggle of geese or a flock of ducks floating by. This one of a kind hidden gem provides you with a little bit of history as well as a picturesque location to enjoy nature.

Our families have enjoyed pontoon boating, kayaking, canoeing, fishing, and paddle boarding directly from property or public launch less than a football field away for more than 30 years!

Find yourself enjoying a serene, idyllic, beautiful setting during your stay or 45 minutes North you can explore Erie PA. The farmhouse is less than a two hour drive from either Pittsburgh or Cleveland.

Outstanding fishing and hunting in the area, with a number of lakes (Sugar Lake, Tamarack, Woodcock and Wilhelm) and creeks (Sugar Creek, French Creek etc.) an hour to Peak N Peak skiing, several golf courses nearby (Mt. Hope 10 minutes North and Sleepy Hollow 10 minutes to the East and Whispering Pines 20 minutes to the West.

Beautiful, newly remodeled two story farmhouse built in the 1850's, original heart pine walls and hardwood floors updated with modern amenities including modern kitchen and bathroom, microwave, wifi, TV, dishwasher. Second floor bedrooms are decorated to take you back in time with three Queens and two Twins to sleep up to 8 upstairs. Grand porch outside with porch swing, grill, two fire pits, cornhole and giant Jenga included. Wildlife abounds, including bald eagles, ospreys, deer, a wide variety of waterfowl. Outstanding fishing -- bass, muskie, pike, walleye, perch, bluegill, catfish, and bowfin all commonly found in the lake.

For those that enjoy the spirits, Meadville and Franklin both have breweries and there are number of wineries in the area to enjoy the day exploring the variety of tastes and many have weekend entertainment. There are three wineries that are within a 20 to 35 minute drive. WE ENCOURAGE ALL TO DRINK RESPONSIBLY!

Come visit! There is something for everyone to enjoy!

Relaxing Environment
We had a family of 10 show up for a nice relaxing weekend together and it did not disappoint. There was a couple issues where: The Wifi would not come up, The Property manager came over to try to resolve the issue but no luck and we ended up having to create hot spots to put a movie on the TV. Other issue was the stairs were very narrow/steep and my mother would not go up them. With this being said, they had child lock gates on the top and bottom of the stairs and my parents slept on the couches, which they both said were very comfortable and deep. The beds in the bedrooms were very comfortable as well. The neighbors were very friendly, the lake was so beautiful and very active in fishing. The whole family loved this place and will be back again, but next time with kayaks hopefully. :)

Family Weekend
The farmhouse was just as described in the listing. The house was cozy and comfortable. The property was the perfect setting for our family. We enjoyed kayaking, fishing, swimming, sitting by the fire as well as the spacious porch. We hope to return in the future!

Relaxing stay
The porch of this quaint and remote farmhouse overlooking Sugar Lake was a great place to relax and recharge. We enjoyed kayaking and fishing during our stay and were many times virtually alone and sometimes literally alone on the lake during our mid-week July stay. The bathroom is beautifully remodeled. Grilling is a pleasure with a view of the lake. Our hosts communicated well and were very generous to us as guests.

Absolutely perfect stay!
This was the most PERFECT location/house/experience! Thank you so much for opening your home and making it such a peaceful and beautiful spot to relax and unwind! We tidied up before leaving and left all bedding piled on beds, towels in the bathroom, and trash outside by the cans. We unfortunately burnt the ends of the oven mits when cooking the one evening. We apologize for this and can absolutely pay for a pair to be replaced ( please let us know how we can reimburse you for this)! Thank you again for your hospitality, you truly have such a perfect property and we would love to return again sometime!!

Just WOW
Unit was super clean and comfortable. Views and porch are fantastic…even saw an eagle swoop down and snatch a fish from the nearby lake. Owners are super nice and attentive. Will definitely return… this time with a fishing pole!

Lakeside Living!
The farmhouse on Sugar Lake is a gorgeous, newly renovated home with stunning views of a tranquil glacial lake. The large deck had ample comfortable seating to enjoy the birds and wildlife. This home felt like an oasis from the stresses of daily life, encouraging you to disconnect, slow down, and relax. We loved the well-equiped kitchen, comfy beds, beautiful spa-like bathroom, and fancy barbecue grill. We enjoyed roasting s'mores in the fire pit with lake views. Our stay at the farmhouse gave us memories that will last a lifetime and we hope to return someday!
