Room to spread out, entertain privately, and truly call it home.
Expands the home’s usable footprint with a second fireplace and plenty of space for a home gym, storage, or flexible use.

Soaring vaulted ceilings with exposed wood craftsmanship create an atmosphere that elevates every event from ordinary to unforgettable.

Dedicated storage capacity for seasonal equipment, event supplies, and everything a growing business demands.



Weddings, milestone celebrations, corporate retreats, brunch, and private dinners — the property has already earned its reputation as the region's premier destination. The guest flow is intuitive: from the dining room to the bar, out to the covered patio, across the open lawn, and around the fire pit. Every transition feels natural, every space feels purposeful.
Bastress Mountain provides the kind of setting you simply can't build. The views, the air, the sense of arrival—these are the intangible qualities that have helped make this property a regional destination.
The surrounding landscape draws outdoor enthusiasts, weekend travelers from the I-80 corridor, and a loyal regional customer base that has made the drive up the mountain a routine part of their lives.
Despite its tucked-away mountain setting, the property is remarkably connected. Just 15 minutes from Williamsport, approximately 30–40 minutes from I-80, and within reach of Lewisburg and State College.
Williamsport is a regional hub for North Central Pennsylvania, with an active downtown, dining and entertainment, and the Little League World Series drawing visitors from around the world each year.
It’s a rare combination: a true destination setting that feels removed from everything, without actually being far from it.
