Lions' Lake House offers your family and friends room to stretch out for leisure and relaxation. Newly renovated, this spacious four bedroom, three bathroom home is yours to enjoy central Pennsylvania in comfort. The drive to Beaver Stadium and the Pennsylvania State University is just 25 minutes, and it's less than 5 minutes to Bald Eagle State Park.

Light-filled and roomy, this property provides space to stretch out, relax, and make yourself at home.

The front door opens to an open living room where guests can gather to enjoy conversation. The room offers a writing desk/workspace, sitting areas, and an antique 19th-century piano. Double French doors lead to a den with a full-size billiards table, dart board, karaoke machine, vintage record player, TV and a comfy sofa bed. The airy, informal dining room has a large table, seating 8 comfortably. The cottage-style kitchen has a full-size refrigerator along with new electric range/oven, dishwasher, microwave, cookware, and a coffee maker. A full bathroom with a stacked washer/dryer completes the first level.

There are four bedrooms and two full bathrooms upstairs, along with an open loft/common area.
This loft at the top of the main stairs offers a day bed with trundle, TV, wii game console, games and toys, and cozy spot for reading.

Bedroom #1 has a queen bed, sitting area with a rocking chair, a TV, desk, and en suite bath. A "secret" set of stairs from this master bed leads back down to the dining room... perfect for a midnight snack!

Bedroom #2 has a double bed and a reading chair, and is filled with natural light.

Bedroom #3 has a queen bed with mountain views, a TV, large closet, sitting area and desk.

Bedroom #4 has twin bunk beds, plus a double bed with a closet.

A bath off the common area upstairs offers a combination bathtub/shower, and a double sink vanity.

Outside, guests can enjoy private space for lawn games, outdoor dining, and a firepit with plenty of seating. There is a "kids clubhouse" with toys, desks, and many treasures.

This large home is perfect for families, and is within walking distance to the lake, two local restaurants, a convenience store, a bait shop, a basketball court, and several playgrounds.

The entire home and outdoor space is yours to enjoy. Garages, attic and basement are not accessible for guests.
