During this horseback riding vacation, you will be staying at The Ponderosa Lodge or Whispering Winds Guestroom.

The Ponderosa Lodge

The Ponderosa Lodge is 1,500-square foot log-sided lodge filled with windows looking out onto the horses at pasture. The Ponderosa sleeps up to 10 guests and features a master bedroom with king bed and single bed, second bedroom with two single beds, a living room with queen sofa sleeper and two love seats sleeping one guest each, an enormous kitchen with cathedral ceilings looking right into the living room, a dining room area and reading nook, full bathroom, and laundry room. The lodge is fully-stocked with everything down to the toilet paper and paper towels so that all you need bring is food. A campfire pit and 1,400-square foot covered deck complete the experience.

The Ponderosa Lodge is the ultimate ranch getaway. A step above luxury camping, the open floor plan offers everything you could want in a home away from home. Enjoy the rustic atmosphere while you clean up in a log-sided shower, relax in the master bedroom (with closet) or kick back in the living room with a 55-inch flat screen television, cable, and Wi-Fi. Beautiful windows give you a breath-taking view of the magnificent horses grazing at pasture against a backdrop of the forest. Every moment is spent in an atmosphere of peace and tranquillity.

The Ponderosa Lodge is fully furnished. There are a full bath, washer and dryer, and an additional bedroom for family and friends or for use as an office during your vacation. The Lodge can sleep up to eight comfortably, making it a great place for family retreats and cozy weekends away.

In addition to beautiful accommodations, the Ponderosa Lodge also offers a picture-perfect view of the surrounding Pennsylvania countryside. With Bald Eagle State Park nearly just outside your door, you will have the chance to experience the beauty and majesty of nature whenever you wish.

Whispering Winds Guestroom

Whispering Winds Guestroom is simple but an elegant guestroom. It features a 4-poster queen sized bed, office desk, and chair, entertainment center with dish top 150 channels, Wi-Fi, a coffeemaker, a microwave, and a hotel-sized refrigerator. A professionally-decorated full bathroom is just five steps down the hallway along with a full laundry room. A huge country breakfast is included each morning of your stay with this beautiful guestroom. Guests are welcome to use the campfire pit for night-time fires and the Ponderosa Deck for relaxing all throughout your stay.

Program

City Slicker

This City Slicker horse-riding vacation program includes one night's lodging for two guests plus a country breakfast on a 1,400-square foot deck. Then it is a two-hour mountain horseback trail ride that you will never forget.

Horses

The beautiful horses are the heart of your trail rides, lessons, or therapy. The barn is home to eleven experienced trail horses, each with their own personalities and skills. From the tiny old lady of the barn, Delight, to the gleaming star that is Jerusalem, there are horses to suit every skill level. All of the horses are gaited, which means that they have a smooth, even ride with passion and personality.

Breathtaking views surround the setting creating an atmosphere of peace and tranquility. The retreat center itself is fondly referred to as the 'Ponderosa Lodge', a 1,200-square foot log home that sleeps up to eight guests for overnight lodging.
