We were looking for a day of play, a tricky thing with a Moody Teen and his sidekick, and one that did not cost an arm and a leg. SCFG suggested Savidge, which is near their farm, so off we went. You can tell the place has been doing this for a while, as they had everything well laid out - from parking to activities to shopping. They also had a nice mix of free activities (such as a 'sandbox' full of dried corn that the kids spent over an hour playing happily in) and low- cost activities, the most expensive being $3 for a hayride to a pick-your-own pumpkin patch (cost of pumpkin you pick extra, weighed upon your return). There was mini-golf, shooting plastic balls in air cannons at targets, climbing on farm equipment repurposed as play gyms, going to see and pet baby goats, cow, piglets and see the emu, and of course the decently challenging but not impossible corn maze. Four and a half hours flew by, as the kids went from place to place. They even enjoyed a visit from some of the free-range hens who helpfully picked up any crumbs dropped around the outdoor picnic tables. Food options are as you'd expect - drinks (top price $1.50 for cold bottled water), chips, hot dogs (also $1.50). What I liked was the reasonableness of the items while still allowing the place to make a profit, not the price gouging we see at other farm operations we've been to. As for shopping - they have a beautiful selection of mums, very reasonably priced, and they have some (not an abundance, and again, not overly expensive) other food items like pickled hot peppers, etc. along with a variety of grown-on-site pumpkins, gourds, dried corn and corn stalks. Everyone who worked there was friendly, helpful and patient. We had a relaxing but entertaining day that did not break the bank, and came home with two exhausted and content boys. I have a feeling this place gets nuts in October, so go early in the season unless you don't mind big crowds. Definitely will go back again next year.

    What a stunning inn!!! We came up for a long weekend to celebrate a family member's birthday, and…read moreit could not have been more perfect. The Glassburn Inn, located in Fogelsville, Pennsylvania, is a beautiful historic hotel, and you can truly feel its charm and character the moment you arrive. When we first pulled in, there was no snow, and the entrance looked absolutely picturesque and welcoming. From the start, the staff was incredibly friendly and made us feel right at home. The next morning was pure magic -- we woke up to freshly fallen snow and the most gorgeous winter view from our room. It honestly felt like something out of a postcard. The combination of the historic charm and the snowy landscape made it even more special. Our stay included a continental breakfast, but don't let that description fool you -- this was anything but ordinary. They offered made-to-order omelettes, eggs cooked any style you like, crispy bacon, home fries... it was a full, hot, delicious breakfast and such a treat! The birthday party was held in another building on the property called The Dairy, and it is absolutely beautiful. The Dairy can accommodate up to six guest rooms and features a large living area, a spacious dining area, and a fully equipped kitchen, along with an outdoor deck. It's perfect for gatherings and special celebrations -- private, cozy, and thoughtfully designed. With all the snow, my car just wasn't cooperating. Although the grounds were well plowed, I couldn't make it up the hill. Once again, the staff went above and beyond -- they graciously drove us up to The Dairy so we wouldn't miss a thing. That level of service really stood out. If you're in the area and looking for a relaxing getaway at a beautiful historic inn with outstanding staff, the Glassburn Inn in Fogelsville, Pennsylvania is absolutely the place to stay. The pictures truly don't do it justice

    The three stars I'm giving the Glasbern Inn is a bit generous based on our own stay, though I…read moreimagine it's pretty great for a wedding weekend. Unfortunately, for a special anniversary stay separate from any party, it was not the relaxing getaway we had hoped to have. The property is indeed beautiful. We walked around a bit hoping to enjoy the "trails" on their property map, but they weren't well marked. When we thought we were on a trail, it would abruptly end in lawn. The staff is friendly, but seemed a little disorganized. We called to confirm our reservation earlier that day and they couldn't find it, so we made another one for a more expensive room since our original choice wasn't available. But when we checked in they gave us our original, smaller room under a reservation that was still there. To their credit, they did fix it so we were not charged for two reservations, and we chose the larger room after all. Our room was in the Pack House. It was airy with a high ceiling and comfortable bed, a mini fridge, and a balcony shared with the room next door. The DirectTV and A/C wall unit were a little clunky to operate, but workable. The main issue for us was the noise because there was a party room downstairs. There are quiet hours posted from 11 pm to 7 am - and not long after 7 am (on a Saturday morning!) there was loud music that ruined our morning. My guess is it was early morning wedding prep, and it was technically not breaking quiet hours, but unwelcome for us "outsiders" nonetheless. On the brighter side, breakfast was included in our rate and was very good. In addition to light fare of pastries, fruit, and yogurt in a small buffet, we got to pick an entree from a large menu of options. Our entrees were simple, but good. Check out was easy and I was asked if I wanted a printout or email. I requested email, and over 24 hours later I still haven't received it. This is a pretty good reflection of our experience: promises that were not quite delivered, leaving us mostly disappointed, especially for the cost. If you are not part of a wedding or event, I would not stay here unless you are okay with disruptions.
