Winter
is upon us and we are ready for you
to come and visit us no matter what the weather!!
If you are looking for a peaceful time to get away from all the hustle
bustle of life, rent a cabin or campsite this winter with us!! Our cabins and campsites are
already booking into the spring and summer months
so make sure to call soon to book your vacation!
There is much to do in the area if you like the outdoors! If the
weather is nice you can go on a hike on one of the many marked trails,
or check out the Little Pine Dam where if the weather permits you can
go ice fishing. When the snow arrives you can hit the rail trail to go
cross country skiing or ask at the office for the other marked cross
country ski trails or snow mobile trails up on the mountains. You
can snow shoe on the marked trails in the state game lands, or head to
Ski Sawmill and go skiing or snow tubing!
For a great meal, you can go to our Happy Acres Restaurant to warm up
by our fireplace and meet our new Managers Chef Graham Zugarek and his
wife Jae. They have a lovely menu with many new items for you to
enjoy after a day of outdoor fun. Our Happy Store has delicious
Perry's Ice
Cream along with
hot and iced coffees, hot chocolate, cappuccino's, frappuccino's,
espresso, whipped
coffee and the delicious milk shakes along with the cones and dishes.
We have added a lot of interesting
items for kids and adults alike in our store so check us out and see
all that is fun and new!! Our
restaurant and store are open with winter hours starting on Sunday

New Office
Inside our
Office 
Our new office is finished
and our internet cafe is open and we now have cell phone coverage for
Verizon cell phone users.
The old office is now our Internet Cafe
Internet Cafe 
Our new office is up and running
and our old office is now an "INTERNET CAFE" offered for you to use free if you are a
paying guest of our resort! Our new office is located next to our
playground and has really added the finishing touch to our resort this
year. We also now have cell phone coverage around our office if you
have a Verizon cell phone. This has limited connectivity just
around our office area and we ask that you be respectful of others as
only 3 can connect at one time. This is not for kids to be using
for text messaging etc... but is a wonderful upgrade for people that
need to stay connected while away from home. Our internet cafe
has 2 computers for you to use and wireless for those that have their
own laptops to bring in.
Take some time to check out our picture gallery We added some
new
rental properties to our
program, one is called the Rainbow Cottage and is located on the Big
Pine Creek
with access to the Pine Creek Rail Trail. We also added the Dun Rov'n
Cabin that is located on the front of our property on Little Pine Creek
Road. You can see pictures of both of these cabins on
our picture gallery along with our other cabins.
Our renovation project on Little Cabin is done and we have
renamed it the Squirrels Nest Cabin. Now a beautiful 2 bedroom cabin
with a jacuzzi tub in the master
bedroom 2 decks and large pictures windows throughout, it is a great
cabin for families etc.... Click here for updated pictures of this special cabin.
Our managers home is finished and
beautiful!

finished product.
More
information about our resort:
We've had an
interesting variety of pets come stay with
us over the years, some of the more interesting were a pet goat, our
first horses and even Peyton
the
cat! Click on our pets page to
see pictures of the various animals, such as Rufus
Swartley the goat. 
His owners say all they
have to do is
pull out
the
camper and he gets excited knowing he is going camping! You can
also see Buck and Skip who took their owners, the Massaro's, on a
beautiful mountain trail ride. They parked their horse trailer
for the evening and took an early morning ride, stopped back to eat at
the restaurant and went out for an afternoon ride. We are so glad
people are bringing pets and as they do we are finding out how creative
people with pets on vacation can be! We have
had many dogs from the tiniest little Yorkies to an extra
large Great Dane, and it seems the animals have as much fun as the
people do! If you come
visit us and bring your pet, be sure to stop by the office and let us
know so we can get your picture to put on our pets page!
The
local streams and the lake at Little Pine State Park have been
busy with
people fishing, canoeing, and kayaking. We have had quite a few campers bring
their 4-wheelers up to take to the local Haneyville ATV trail.
The rail-trail and the state hiking trails are a wonderful way to enjoy
the outdoors, get some great exercise and view the local
wildlife. And there
is
much
wildlife
to
see
here,
such
as
the
bald
eagles
nesting
at
the
state
park.
We
have
had
sightings
of
bear
around
the
campground,
along
with
deer,
turkey
and
bobcat,
blue
heron's,
woodpeckers
and
of
course
lots
of
squirrels
and
chipmunks
gathering
acorns
for
winter.
So much to see, so much to do - so make some plans to
come relax and enjoy one of the prettiest mountain areas of
Pennsylvania!
We look forward to a peaceful fall and hope you
come visit!
We are located in the
Williamsport
area campgrounds as well as the Wellsboro area campgrounds and the Lock
Haven area campgrounds with Williamsport and Lock Haven approximately
25 miles from our resort and Wellsboro 40 miles from us.
Weddings
Rachel and
Mark were married at our Happy Acres Lodge. This creative couple
walked over the
covered bridge and were officially married while their guests watched
from the deck of the Lodge. After the ceremony the couple and
their friends and family celebrated with a reception at the Happy
Acres Restaurant! It was a beautiful day for an outdoor wedding
and we are so happy they chose to have a Happy Acres Wedding!!!
You can go to our wedding page to see pictures of this wedding
and also of Tina and Skip's reception that they held at our Lodge
back in the spring of 2006. It seems the
Lodge turned out to be a perfect setting for Skip and Tina's "big day"
and they
enjoyed it so much they are making it a yearly vacation spot !!
Click here to
see some wedding pictures from both weddings. We would enjoy working with
you to
plan a mountain wedding for
you. Our restaurant has the facilities to hold banquets and cater
gathering. Kim will work with you to create the perfect menu for
your special occasion. This is a picturesque setting
for an outdoors wedding ceremony. If you would like more
information please call our office and set up an appointment to meet
with us to discuss the possibilities.
