This quaint, renovated cottage offers the best of two worlds! Located just 40 minutes from Penn State's Beaver Stadium, this respite provides comfortable accommodations for anyone attending a Penn State football game, graduation, or parent’s weekend.
As a destination all its own, the Cottage at Plum Bottom Farm offers picturesque landscapes in all seasons. Rural, rolling hills with farms dotting the horizon and horse and buggies sharing the road will remind you that things are simpler here. The area is perfect for scenic country drives and offers many opportunities for hiking, biking, fishing, kayaking, and canoeing. NEW in 2022, a private Pickleball Court and fire pit.
This property does not host hunters.
Sleeping accommodations include three bedrooms. Two bedrooms have a queen size bed. The third has a single bed. All rooms have a closet and windows offering natural light and scenic views of this 100+-acre farm.

There is a full bath with tub-shower unit, sink and toilet.
A private deck offers outside seating overlooking the pastures and the peaceful beauty of neighboring farms that must be witnessed in person to be fully appreciated.
There is wifi on premise and a smart tv is available for use with the guest's own streaming service.
Pennsylvania Route 655 is known as Main Street within the village, with residences and a few businesses spread out within about two blocks of Main Street. Locally owned and revered Shy Bear Brewing is just 13 miles away in Lewistown. They offer thirst-quenching libations and a full schedule of live entertainment and events throughout the year.
Weekday visitors will enjoy the flea market and auction in Belleville every Wednesday. Locally grown produce and homemade baked goods are available and make for a delicious treat back at the cottage.

Peaceful & relaxing ☺️
We were in town for a concert at Penn State, only about 40 minutes from the stadium. The cottage was a perfect place to relax & unwind. The beds were so comfortable! It was very quiet, surrounded by farmland. Our family of 4 - my husband, myself & our 2 kiddos - 13 & 8, look forward to visiting again! Thank you to Joy & Keith for being wonderful hosts!

A wonderful little cottage on a big property. Beautiful setting, extremely clean and cared for cottage. Great communication from the host. Its a shame we stayed on a rainy weekend so we did not get to take in much of the outdoors, but we plan to return.

Beautiful cottage, considerate owners
The cottage is very well kept. The owners take care of every small detail to make your stay comfortable. The kitchen is well equipped, plenty of clean towels, new soaps, etc. The location is beautiful, though a little far from the university. Joy and Keith are adorable hosts. Highly recommended.

We needed a place to stay for a college football game and wanted to be outside of the hustle and bustle of downtown. The cottage was cozy. The house was cute and had everything we needed. It was quiet and relaxing and an added bonus, there were cows!
