For a semi-private room, the cost is $2,931, which is notably higher than the Cambria County average of $2,548 but lower than Pennsylvania's state average of $3,542. When it comes to studio accommodations, Celebration Villa charges $3,414 - again above the county average of $2,892 but still more economical compared to the state's average of $3,737.
