Sky View

1 site · RV56 acres · Titusville, PA
We are sometimes hobby farmers on 56 acres who have beef cattle in the spring, summer and fall months. Our cattle are very friendly. Feel free to visit with them, but we ask that you please take caution around our pasture's electric fences. We also enjoy adventuring and traveling. We have nice country views, and beautiful sunsets. Many people pull off the road in front of our house to take pictures of the sunsets. Oil Creek State Park is near by, where you can hike and bike.
