Clearfield is nestled in a valley on the western slope of the Alleghenies and the town exudes old-time charm.  Its lovely meandering river, tree lined streets, brick laid sidewalks, intricate scrollwork and sculpture on the facades of its old buildings, and street lamps reminiscent of Victorian gas fixtures, help to establish that charm.

Christopher Kratzer House itself is unique; this Classic Revival house in the Old-Town Historic District predates the Victorian era in which most of these homes were built.

This home, the oldest house in town  was built before 1840 by a noted lumberman, carpenter, architect, politician, and owner of Clearfield's first newspaper.

The house is set amongst many fine old trees, surrounded by a stone wall and picket fence  and the rooms offer views of river and park.  The grounds have a peaceful country ambience, yet the in-town location is convenient for guests.  We are within walking distance of restaurants, shops, movie and community theaters, the public library and the Clearfield County Historical Society Museum.  In addition there is a playground in the park across the street for children. Browse in Ginny's Art Gallery and the "Attic Flea Market."

ROOMS:

Green Room:  Imagine the 160 years of history here in this charming old-world bedroom painted pale green and its corner windows looking out on the river and park.  The room has air-conditioning and is bright, sunny and airy, yet the rose velvet curtains and Victorian period lamps add a warm glow to the ambience.

Schoolhouse Room:  A small sitting room with daybed for relaxing, reading, watching TV or playing games on the antique backgammon table.  In colors of blueberry and brick, the schoolhouse theme is repeated in the wallpaper, bedding, and decorative objects such as the antique slate and set of McGuffey Readers.


Blue Room:  Shuttered windows reveal another splendid view of river and park in this peaceful room of cool blue.  Oriental rugs cover the original 1830 pine floors and County Fair quilts grace the antique mahogany beds.

Sunflower Room:  Separated from the west wing quarters by a hall art gallery, this large room with its sunflower décor, king bed, TV, phone and private bath makes for luxurious and private surroundings.  Guests may enjoy breakfast served in the room at the table by the window or downstairs in the formal dining room. This room has air-conditioning.

Your hosts, Bruce and Ginny Baggett, will be glad to help you plan your visit by providing information about local restaurants and points of interest, and to share with you the charm and ambiance of the historic home that has been lovingly and artistically restored.
