We came to the area for the EBT train ride with Santa, but our time at the house ended up being a favorite part of the weekend! The house has scenic views, a unique layout, comfortable beds, and plenty of space. The owner was responsive and went above and beyond to ensure that we had a great stay, even stocking the kitchen with breakfast items including fresh fruit, coffee, milk, and juice. Our family had a great time and was so impressed by this property!

We came into town for an East Broad Top Railroad photo charter. This large beautiful home was well maintained, immaculate and had everything we needed! Excellent communication with the owner. Short 3 minute drive to the EBT station. We will definitely stay here again!

Clean, beautiful home right next to the East Broad Top tracks. You can watch the trains go by, and you are just 3 minutes drive away from the station. The home itself is impressive with it's mix of old and new.

This VRBO home is always a great experience because of the character of the house and its unique location adjacent to the tracks of the East Broad Top train. The hosts pay exacting attention to all aspects of their guests' stay and comfort. The home is immaculate and provisioned with a generous supply of staples. I recommend most highly if your are staying in this part of Huntingdon County.

Group of five met to ride the steam train. Home was beautiful, clean, roomy and well stocked. Beds were comfortable, kitchen was well supplied, and there were great spaces for hanging out with the group as well as offering private areas too. Host was very responsive and helpful with local information. Will definitely book here again!

This is a beautifully maintained and obviously loved property. We were immediately impressed from the moment we walked in the door. Everything was spotless and placed with care. We had one small issue with the internet that was promptly fixed by the owner. What a guy! This really set the bar for vacation rentals. Will be staying at again!

Beautiful clean house. It's on a busy road that can get loud when you are outside. The little things: could use bedroom chairs, nightstands and lamps that can be turned out from the bed.

We booked for a very quick overnight stay before a train excursion with our twin 8 year olds that LOVE trains. The property was spotless when we arrived, with plenty of supplies for a quick breakfast. The convenience to Orbisonia can’t be beat, and our boys thought it was cool we passed the house on our train ride. Wish we could have stayed another day, so they could watch the train pass by from the yard! One son is already saying “next year, when we stay at the red roof house…”❤️

My sons college roommate and his family of 4 met us here. They are from Lititz, so this was about half way. Everything was perfect! We will definitely refer friends and family! Thank you!

We’re cityfolk who came to the country and it was amazing. The train that came by a few times a day was so much fun. Not having to bring a thing except our clothes was a huge plus. The snacks and the coffee included was great. We had a great time. A few of our other family members stayed about seven minutes up the road and we all got together there for a wonderful family reunion, it was a great time. Thank you very much.
