Unplug & reconnect: Cozy Mountain Cabin near Historic Railways

Imagine waking up in a rustic yet fully equipped cabin nestled on nearly 5 acres of private woodland in the PA mountains, just minutes from Shirleysburg and Mount Union. This secluded retreat blends mountain charm with modern comforts — central air, high-speed internet, a stocked coffee bar, smart TV, board games, and even a charcoal grill with supplies
The cabin is fully furnished and functional, with three cozy bedrooms — the “Deer Room” (queen log bed), “Bear Room” (full log bed), and “Fishing Room” (full log bed) — plus a bonus queen pull-out sofa in the living area. Each room features handcrafted log furniture, and the bathroom offers a deep tub and shower. The lower level has a sitting room with a TV and a queen sleeper sofa, plus a “Duck Room” with a double bed. Outside, you’ll find a private fire pit supplied with firewood and a patio for sipping coffee or enjoying the mountain views. The property is dog-friendly (with a $75 flat fee with crate requirements if left unsupervised in cabin).
The location is a perfect base for outdoor adventures — quick drives to the East Broad Top Railroad, Tuscarora State Forest, Thousand Steps, Raystown Lake, hiking trails, fishing spots, and even dirt track racing. Wildlife is common, and the surrounding woods offer a peaceful escape from daily life.

Check-in is after 3 PM, check-out before 12 PM. The cabin is designed to be affordable, private, and self-sufficient, making it ideal for solo travelers, families, or friends who want to disconnect and reconnect with nature.

In short, a stay at Blacklog Mountain Cabin is about embracing the mountains, savoring rustic comfort, and exploring the best of PA’s outdoor heritage — all in a space that feels both cozy and completely yours.
During your stay at this cabin, you'll be close to American Legion Country Club. Enjoy your stay with amenities like free WiFi and a kitchen in the cabin.

Perfect Cabin Getaway

This cabin was a great getaway for our family. Impeccably clean and the host even had some supplies at the ready which came in handy when I realized I left our toothpaste at home. It's super convenient to Raystown Lake. We would definitely stay again if we are in the area.

I was in town for a visit to the East Broad Top railroad and didn't want to stay in a typical hotel. The Blacklog cabin was great. Plenty of space, clean, in a quiet area, lots of amenities, and very close to the EBT (only 10 minute drive). Communication was also great; very responsive and friendly.

Amazing host! The cabin was spacious, cozy, and everything and more we had hoped for. We wanted somewhere nestled in the forest away from other houses and people. This was perfect! Very clean, very welcoming. We will definitely return to experience more of Raystown Lake and state parks in the summer.
