A very unique experience in an elegant 200 year old house with all the modern amenities for 2025 comfort. There is plenty of space for any family activity, formal or infomal including a spacious yard for your puppy dog and children to exercise. The location gives convenient access to Altoona and Huntingdon. However, along with the authentic colonial charm there are a variety of floors and steps that senior folks may find hard to navigate. Our host was very available for any information needed. If you want to experience a part of early 19th century life in Pennsylvania, stay aat Ganister House.

Very pretty and unique house. Very family friendly, with lots of fun things to do. Host was great and the house was very clean. We went to the PSU game, and look forward to staying here again and exploring more local activities.
