8 Bedroom House in Highmount, Pine Hill

Historical, spacious place for families to bunker up in a natural setting.
stay at this private, sprawling & historic country home just 5 mins from belleayre ski resort! this is a generously spacious home situated on 23 acres of woodlands There is a barn and a rare keystone bridge on the property with a meandering stream that runs throughout. Perfect place to host memorable family reunions, friends gatherings & all season getaways! :) Please inquire for use of the barn.
this is a historical home with tons of original features Dr Henry Morton (first President of Stevens Institute) and his descendants called this estate home for over 4 generations. The Mortons were benefactors to the local area, including the Pine Hill Library. Since acquiring the house, I have done my best to maintain the integrity of the home while continuing to embrace some modern touches for comfort.

this house was built in late 1890's and is reflective of that style of home If you are expecting a modern, fine-lined and updated property, this may not be most ideal fit for your needs. The house is in a rural setting. Please anticipate rusticity and old fashioned character. The home is thoroughly cleaned and cared for between guests though not void of imperfections. There are general updates which I am constantly working on with my maintenance team in between guest stays. If you notice something specifically broken upon arrival or in need of repair, please message me about this upon/during your arrival so that I may address appropriately.

Summary: We just got back from a great stay with a few other families and their kids and had the best time. This is our second time staying here and it’s exactly as we remembered which was great, but it’s even better now with the new sauna - which was AMAZING! I would recommend this home to anyone and cannot wait to book it again next year!
