History

Our Cabin

Located in a remote area of Bald Eagle State Forest in Central PA is Penns Creek Cabin.

The previous owners named the cabin, Kaarondinhah’s Camp Guttalata, “Kaarondinhah” (ka ron’ den hah‘) was the Lenni Lenape name for “shining waters”, refering to a special stretch of water on Penn’s Creek on which Penns Creek Cabin is located; “Guttalata”, commonly called The Green Drake, is one of the largest species of the mayfly genus Ephemera, for which Penn’s Creek is WORLD FAMOUS.

Penns Creek Cabin is nestled deep in Bald Eagle State Forest, along the wooded banks of this hallowed and still revered water. Our cabin is the perfect location for a variety of outdoor pleasures. Surrounded by thousands of square miles of uninhabited forest, activities like hiking, mountain biking, kayaking/ canoeing, and inner-tubing in the summer are right out your front door.
