Mountain Retreat ★ HEATED POOL ★ Amazing Views!

★ NEW!! ★ Heated SALTWATER POOL open May through September.


Welcome to "Mountain View Retreat," a gorgeous contemporary home perched high on a wooded hillside with incredible birds-eye views of the Susquehanna River and the city of Harrisburg!

This spacious WHEELCHAIR ACCESSIBLE home features 6 bedrooms (all with king size beds!) plus an office/sitting room with a sleeper sofa, and a gorgeous sunny library with a sleeper sofa. Three gas fireplaces add a cozy touch to the main living room, the luxurious master suite, as well as the basement family room.

Welcome to the home with perhaps the best view in central PA! This is a very unique contemporary home designed by architect Fred Harle who believed a home could coexist with nature. This home is truly built into the mountain landscape with sleek roof lines to allow for air flow making the home energy efficient, and designed so that almost every room has a view!

A huge 53’ deck with panoramic views that just never get old! A quiet secluded setting, yet all within a few miles from major highways, grocery stores and restaurants.

4 Wheel drive vehicles are recommended in wintertime for navigating our very steep driveway. We will do our best to keep the driveway safe and clear in the winter months. Please note that travel plans could be impacted if the driveway is deemed unsafe due to snow or ice.

The location is very secluded and quiet but also a short drive to the city. We would definitely stay here again.

The house was great. We had a group of family members (11 in all) coming in from various parts of the North East to attend a wedding in the area. The house was large enough, and spread out, so we never felt crowded.The amenities were great and we got to use the pool, the barbeque, had s'mores by the firepit one evening, and a couple of Pickle Ball matches.Everything was well documented in the welcome instructions and Jake, the owner, was very responsive to any messages I sent.
