Location & Access

Atop the Mountain. Close to Everything.

The Setting

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.

The Access

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.
