Fall is almost here and the
date is set for our pig roast and pumkin carving contest. Plan to come
visit us on the weekend of October 8-10th and join us for our yearly
gathering down at the pool pavilion. We supply the pig and the
pumpkins for carving and prizes for the winners. You are invited
to bring a dish to share along with your own drinks.

call and rent a cabin or bring your tent or camper and come have a fun
filled fall weekend in Pine Creek.
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.

beautiful!

Our
Restaurant is reopening on September 3rd with new managers. Plan

Over
the last year or so we have
made significant changes to our restaurant and general store
building. If you know
what the building looked like before you will be amazed at the
changes! We have a new roof, new windows, and new log siding on
the
outside. Inside, our main dining room received a much needed
face lift with a new ceiling, new flooring, wains-coating and tongue
and groove on the walls, and new lighting. Many of our rooms have new
furniture and are big enough host large parties etc..

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!
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.
