About this property
Twin Ridge Retreat
Basement apartment in a rural country setting, nestled between two mountains. We're only10 miles from Route 322, halfway between Harrisburg and State College. Minutes from Juniata Valley Winery (literally only 3 miles down the road) and Port Royal Speedway (8 miles).
Make this your Home Away From Home! This is a finished basement with all the comforts of home. Full kitchen, large livingroom, bedroom and 3/4 bath. Enjoy watching the chickens and goats grazing in the meadow. There's a swingset outside that your children are welcome to use. Build a campfire in the fire ring and roast hotdogs and marshmallows for supper!
To help muffle the chaos and commotion of normal family life, we did as much sound proofing as possible. We will try to keep the noise down in the mornings but please be aware......... we live here and you WILL hear us!
Other things to note:
The basement is yours, with the exception of the small cold storage room that goes off the kitchen. Also the water heater and furnace room goes off the bathroom.
If you are not comfortable with using the gas (propane) stove, there is also an electric single coil burner in the kitchen for you to cook with.
Cell phone service may be poor in the basement but there is WiFi available.
Located in Port Royal, this apartment is on a river. Juniata Valley Winery and Little Buffalo State Park are worth checking out if an activity is on the agenda, while those wishing to experience the area's natural beauty can explore Myers Park and Juniata River. Visit our Port Royal travel guide

Absolutely beautiful location. Restorative and peaceful. Host was excellent and extremely easy to communicate with. Everything was better than expected. So clean and little details were taken care of. A basket of toiletries in the bathroom, their own farm fresh eggs and local fresh milk in the refrigerator waiting. The gorgeous flowers and landscaped walkways and property were top notch. Then you have the mountains and farms as far as you can see.
I felt very welcome and appreciated by the host and family. Will definitely stay here again when visiting the area. It was better than perfect for me.
The property was immaculate and exactly as pictured/described. So clean and the host even left us fresh milk , eggs and cookies. She was very communicative and we had the most enjoyable experience. Highly recommend!!
Hidden treasure - meticulously clean, quaint basement apartment. Great communication and easy check-in. Breakfast items such an appreciated gesture.

Could not have had a better or more comfortable stay. Hosts were very responsive to questions and incredibly accomodating with requests. Thank you, I will definitely stay with you again when I'm in the area
Wonderfully nice host family. Easy to communicate with and very accomodating. We stayed over a holiday and it was clean, warm, welcoming, and so pleasant. Very grateful for a quiet stay in a beautiful country. Gods presence is felt here
I had a last minute commitment in State College, this was the perfect location to stay the night before and night after a full day conference. They made it homey and offered local eating options, I wish I had been able to try them. If you’re looking for a spot to star gaze, this would be it.
We absolutely enjoyed our time at the Twin Ridge Retreat!! We were in town for a few days of racing. It was so nice to have access to all of the amenities from home. The fresh milk and eggs in the fridge were delicious!!

This place was fantastic. First off, you get greeted by the nicest dog you will ever meet. Next the owners went above and beyond to make us feel at home, helping with our questions and making sure we had everything we needed. Apartment itself was huge, quiet, and loaded with goodies like fresh milk, eggs, cookies and other snacks. Everything was incredibly clean and the bathroom towels were the fluffiest I’ve ever used! I would highly recommend this place if you’re in town for a Penn State game, it’s an easy drive from the stadium.
We were blessed by this retreat for the weekend while we enjoyed a wedding at the Juniata Valley Winery. Please understand the culture and environment you are booking in and you will be blessed also. This a great family and all the extras of breakfast items and homemade cinnamon rolls were just perfect for us! We enjoyed our stay with this beautiful family!
Lovely stay in the rural Juniata Valley countryside, just a few miles from the Juniata Winery. Almost a farm setting, with chickens and goats in back. The rooms and facilities were exceptionally clean and comfortable, and the host was absolutely wonderful. Note that you may hear the patter of little feet in the house above, but it is not intrusive; my wife and I found it charming. We slept blissfully. Full spacious kitchen, with fresh free-range eggs in the fridge.Highly recommended!
We decided to book this cute little apartment for a local gymnastics meet that we were in town for. The owners of the house were super sweet. check-in was very convenient even at 10 PM, the owners were understanding And still greeted us with a smile in the driveway. This place reminded me of simple living; a nice slowdown in life to enjoy the little things. It would be a great place to get away to for some r&r. It was very accommodating to our needs and we can’t wait to stay again in March for our spring meet!
Absolutely wonderful. The area is quiet and peaceful. The family is wonderful and welcoming. We had a nice private space in the basement with our own entrance. The family even left for us fresh eggs, milk, donuts, bananas, and cereal! The place was clean and beautiful.They are honest about their noise level - there are young children running above your head in the morning. But I honestly thought this added to the character of the place.
Host was very nice and accommodating. Kitchen was stocked with some breakfast food and yummy homemade cinnamon rolls.Rooms were clean and window air conditioner kept the temperature at 71 throughout our stay.
Nice property, very clean, host was accommodating. There is a Mr. Coffee that does K-Cups, we received fresh milk, eggs, bananas, tea, cereal, and fresh cookies. My granddaughter had a blast playing with the girls and the sweetest dog named Tracey. The patter of feet above was not bothersome, room is private with a keypad entry. If we are ever back in the area we’ll be looking to stay here again.
