WINTER IS ON ITS WAY!

Despite having a major snowfall in October right at Halloween, our temperatures have been unseasonably warm.  However we are beginning to return to normal seasonal weather.  We've enjoyed a number of sunny afternoons and, once the sun sets, quite cold, crisp evenings.

The best part of this change is that the local ski area, Shawnee Mountain, is now open.  Shawnee is located just 12 minutes away from us along River Road in Pennsylvania.  They offer day and night skiing on 23 slopes and trails as well as 6 chutes for snow tubing, and 2 terrain parks.  New snow-making equipment as well as rental equipment have been added this year to make your experience even more enjoyable.  Come enjoy the fresh outdoor air and nature's beautiful surroundings.  Under our 'Specials' page, we feature 2 'Winter Adventure' packages - one includes equipment rental and the other simply lift tickets.  However, both of these packages include a welcoming supper and are for those adventurists who at the end of their day at Shawnee would like to relax and enjoy the warmth of the Inn without having to go out for dinner.  We also sell Shawnee's lift tickets separately which really cuts down on wait time to get on the slopes.  Those skiers with tickets can go directly to the check-in window and avoid long lines at the ticket window.

Another attraction for outdoor enthusiasts is walking local trails.  The vistas are superb, the air is clear, and the trails are not crowded.  Another suggestion is to visit Lakota Wolf Preserve which is located just a 5-minute drive up the mountain road from us.  It is a great time to visit since the wolves are clearly visible without the obstruction of foliage and their winter coats are at their fullest.

For those interested in the arts, we have two local venues that might interest you.
The Centenary Stage Company will be hosting a 'Jazz in January' series with different musical performances including the Denise King Sextet, the DIVA Jazz Orchestra, and an All Star Jazz Jam at the end of the month.  

As you can imagine, each season holds its own charm.  We'd love for you to come and relax and take in the birth of a new season.  Nature itself can be so soothing.

Till then,

Theo and Elaine
