Fresh air and local flair are abundant in Penn's Valley. Enjoy the crisp mountain air from our wraparound deck or walking trails, or visit Elk Creek microbrewery and restaurant featuring seaonal, local and organic cuisine. For more local and organic, visit the Millheim Farmer's market, running Saturday mornings seasonally. To enjoy the local landscape, visit nearby Penn's Cave boat tour and wildlife park. Nearby Bald Eagle State forest boasts many nature parks and trails, and local Penn's, Elk, Pine, and Spruce Creeks for world-renowned trout fishing.

The inn has incorporated many green building elements such as geothermal heating and cooling, low E windows and doors, structural insulated panels, and soy-based insulation. Geothermal runoff has been artfully diverted to create a running stream and pond, complete with goldfish.

Oak trees cleared during construction have been locally milled to create beautiful and varied wood flooring.

Owner and builder Jere McCarthy has designed steel elements and handmade beds using local artisan steelwork and reclaimed farm wood.
