Newly Renovated - Clean!! Waterfront, Scenic Views, Private Yard, Firepit

THIS HOME IS NEWLY RENOVATED!! Cleaned and Disinfected using CDC guidelines!

Guests will enjoy this colonial home located in the quaint town of New Berlin, PA. Guests will delight in the picturesque setting from the private backyard with views of the famous Penns Creek and lovely established farms. Guests will appreciate their direct recreational access to the water right on the property with the home safely out of the flood zone. New Berlin, being central located, is a 10-15 minute drive to Lewisburg, Mifflinburg, and Selinsgrove.

This home, built circa 1850 is unique in several ways from the old fashioned side porch, original log accents, old wood floors, wide window sills and hand-hewn beams. Relax in the living room with the original log cabin wall and exposed beams in front of the warm fireplace. This room has an intimate, snug and warm feeling. Although visitors will enjoy the charm of days gone by they will appreciate the modern touches of the home’s complete renovation in 2019. Craftsman restored the original logs and chinking from the home. Exposed rough cut beams adorn the living room and upstairs bedrooms. Renters will enjoy the space of three bedrooms plus an additional child’s loft space for playing or sleeping. One of the bedrooms is a traditional colonial “keeping room”. In colonial times the keeping room was next to the kitchen to take advantage of the kitchen heat. A keeping room is a combination sitting room and sleeping room and utilizes convertible sofa bed to keep the traditional keeping room functionality. Guests enter the keeping room through double barn doors. This room has a relaxing feel with water-views and access to the yard. In addition to the keeping room/bedroom, guests will likely spend time gathering around the gas fireplace in the living room.

The home has two bedrooms upstairs with a full bathroom between the rooms. The feeling of space is accented by the 12 foot high ceiling emulating post and beam construction. This first bedroom has a queen size bed. The second bedroom has room to sleep five people with three single twin beds and a children’s loft with a full mattress. The headroom to the top of the loft is about 5 feet. The downstairs living room also have sleeping options with a queen sofa bed.

Guests will value the professional landscaped backyard that has a wood and wire fence to keep pets and children safe while maintaining the water-views. There is a sunken area with a stone fire pit to enjoy toasting marshmallows. There is also a large alfresco dining area. The back yard is accented with low stone walls built by hand. The tall cedar fence on the west side of the yard provides complete privacy. The east side is blocked by the homes tall, rustic, barn-like garage.

Guests will appreciate the quiet one-way street of this location. Traffic is minimal since most cars are headed to the few homes on this street. The locations is an easy walk to the town’s park that has a boat (kayak) launch and playground area. It is a nice area for a walk along the creek with your favorite person or four-legged friend. This park is used for the town's July 4th festivities and fireworks. Guests will also enjoy walking through town and checking out the Victorian architecture and gardens of the homes.

Don't be surprised if you see horse and buggies on the road. This area still enjoys the rich culture of an Amish and Mennonite community. Many have small businesses in the area that you are encouraged to shop at such as grocery stores with bakeries, plant nurseries/greenhouses, road side stands, fabric stores, farm goods and harness shops.

Wonderful property rich with character and history
The Blue Heron is a wonderful property, rich with character and history. Our family truly enjoyed staying here while visiting our daughter’s college for Homecoming. I’m not sure who enjoyed the property more, the humans or the dogs. The yard is perfect for dogs and also for families that want to spend some time outdoors, fishing, or enjoying the weather or foliage. The home is properly supplied with everything you could possibly need and everything is very comfortable, including the beds. The hostess was very responsive and even left us some cookies from a local bakery. We even saw a Blue Heron the morning we were checking out while eating breakfast. We will definitely return another time. Thank you!

Family getaway
The house was very nice and in a quiet location. Everything that was needed was there. It was nice having separate controls for the A/C in each room. The fishing wasn’t the best but didn’t get rent the house for that. The house was centrally located where we wanted to go and have fun.

Lovely!
This was a nice house in a lovely spot. It was convenient to the state parks and state forest for hiking. We enjoyed sitting watching the river flow past, as well as all the animals that came to the river - herons, geese, and deer among others. The downside is that there’s a lot of road noise from the bridge and the road across the river. Other than that, the beds were comfortable and the kitchen had most of the things we needed.

Peaceful retreat
This is such a beautiful property. Clean and well stocked. Brenda was easy to communicate with and even sent a message to check on us during our stay. So many things to do in this property. Some of our favorites were; movies in the living room, reading on the covered porch, fishing by the creek, dinners at the large island in the kitchen, and my daughter's favorite the loft space for kids. There was more than enough room for our family of five, we didn't even use all the beds. Looking forward to a longer trip in the future.

The property was fantastic. Beds enough for everyone, clean and well decorated. It was nice to have a home base for our family visit. The kitchen was a dream to cook it and the outdoor space was lovely. Brenda was a great host. Any question we had was quickly responded too. Will definitely stay again the next time we are in the area.

Shhh don’t tell anyone
Best kept secret on Vrbo! The home is perfect. Brenda was so responsive and helpful. If you’re one of the lucky ones, she will have some of the most amazing cookies like she did for us upon check in. Everything from the location, to the home, to the host, exceeded all my expectation! I Highly recommended to anyone, as long as they don’t want the same week as us, because we will be heading back! This house actually made visiting my in-laws fun. That sentence is the best review I can possible leave!

Reunion Weekend in the Cutest Farmhouse
What a beautiful home! The host, Brenda, was wonderful & met us when we checked in to give us a tour & show us how everything worked. She even brought us cookies! The home is a charming farmhouse with a wonderful view of the water & fall foliage. It was exactly as presented in the pictures. A group of friends stayed here while celebrating our 35th reunion at Susquehanna University … we have already decided to stay at this lovely farmhouse again for our 40th!

Wonderful Stay!
We had a wonderful stay at Blue Heron! The home is beautiful and is remodeled into a modern home with original colonial touches! The view is awesome! And the property is also beautiful! It rained alot of the time we were at the house so we didn’t get to take advantage of the fire pit which was disappointing. We loved sitting on the side porch to drink our morning coffee and take in the gorgeous view! We would definitely stay again and highly recommend this property! Brenda was wonderful to work with! Everything was perfect!
