Creekside Haven at the Farm
2 sites · Lodging100 acres · Smithfield, PA
Picturesque setting in rural southwestern Pennsylvania. Misty mornings are almost a given in the summer and the limited light pollution in our valley makes for fantastic stargazing. Stretch and stargaze from your deck, or right from your bed with ceiling canvas tent views.
Wade into the creek outside your tent door. Watch animals graze while cooking over an open fire and enjoy a walk in the forest on our 100 acre trails.
Enjoy a cup of provided coffee or tea beside the babbling brook which can be waded in or fish stocked trout. A full size fold down couch and twin-size air mattress is provided in your canvas tent.
Creekside Haven is a family owned farm located 25 minutes north of Morgantown, WV and 1.5 hours south of Pittsburgh, PA on a bucolic 100-acre working family farm. Part forest, part field, and miles to roam.
Listen to sheep and goats calling and grazing peacefully. A unique and intimate back-to-nature experience surrounded by outstanding natural beauty.
