Fathers Day 2020

For Fathers Day this year we unfortunately were not able to do the usual celebrations with extended family. However, we had some adventures nonetheless around NEPA. We were staying up in the Golf Hill BNB for the weekend. The weather was perfect. Spending time together as a family is always special. We are so grateful for Darryl. Amazing dad to our girls.

Darryl and his girls.
Decided to go for a hike by Prompton Lake.  We went over by the dam and discovered a box turtle trying to swim back up stream.  The girls and Darryl loved that. 
Prompton Lake was breathtaking. A bit of a big hill to climb back up, but worth it. The park has grills and picnic tables. Or you can bring your camping chairs and blankets and set up a picnic near the water.
Picked up some takeout BBQ from Wallenpaupack Brewing Company. And went for a swim at Lake Wallenpaupack. And Darryl enjoyed a nap in the shade. Totally relaxed.
Finished the night with a raging bonfire, smores and a beautiful moon. Was an amazing day.

Through the eyes of our guest…

I want to thank one of our recent guests Dan, for sharing with us about his stay at Golf Hill BNB with his family for a few weeks.

A couple with 2 kids, they needed a country escape from the city to enjoy their summer break. Im just going to share a few highlights from their stay.

“A very comfortable house to spend time with the family. Room to spread out and relax on the property, as well as easy access to lots of fun places. The house is exactly as described. It was just the summer escape we needed.” Dan H. NYC, NY

They enjoyed wild life around the property. The baby deer, bunnies and groundhog.

Enjoying the scenery – setting his work space out on the screened in side porch overlooking the golf course rather than the inside work space-desk. (that is my favorite place to work too! Just set up my laptop and go).
A visit to Lacawac Sactuary, Lake Ariel, PA. A must see!

Bushkill Falls, and the creek at Apple Grove. They got adventurous and grilled hotdogs on the creekbed. Both are nice places to cool off.

Dan recommended Paulies, the Twisted Rail, 2 Guys from Italy pizza for eating out. But they made the most of cooking over the campfire (Even though the house has a fully equipped kitchen as well as a gas grill lol).

A fun, snowy time for this Florida based family, including skiing and Christmas with extended NEPA family.

Michelle and her lovely family stayed at Golf Hill BNB over the Christmas holiday. Visiting family, but taking time out to enjoy the scenery and to ski at Elk Mountain.

“Great location and host. We felt welcome in Tamra’s mountain home. Beautiful views of the mountains and golf course from the bedrooms, we even saw some deer grazing behind the house! Tamra’s ‘Guidebook’ was helpful in knowing what was available to do around the area. The Black and Brass Coffee shop, Laurel’s Hometown Café, and Yoga International Studio were three places we frequented and they were all less than 2 miles from the house. We had a wonderful time in NE Pennsylvania!”
