Dear Neighbors, My husband and I just spent a wonderful few days at Eagles Mere, PA. This village is about 40 miles northeast of Williamsport (4 hours from Pittsburgh) --a dot on the map but a delightful, timeless village. It is in the mountains with a charming lake, a few shops and a wonderful hotel: The Eagles Mere Inn. The village was built around the lake and has many "cottages" --really lovely old homes and stone churches. Many big hotels were built to house tourists in the late 1800's--an escape from the summer heat of Philadelphia. A glass industry was founded there (because of the lake sand) but failed due to the rugged trip down the mountain-- the pieces didn't survive. The industrialist then thought that it would make a great summer resort and thus it became a success. Sadly, most of the large hotels are gone but the Eagles Mere Inn is still there. The inn is lovely and charming in a simple way with very nice rooms and an outdoor dining patio. The village has a few shops and a history museum of its former glory and also a golf course. It is still known for the toboggan slide from the mountain down to the lake and this still exists in winter if the lake freezes over. In summer lake is superb and warm with a sandy beach and boats/canoes for rent. Everyone rides bikes or walks. It is a quiet, shady village and a great relief from the heat and humidity, and worth a visit. I told the inn keepers that I wanted to write a review so see my TripAdvisor review at: https://www.tripadvisor.com/Hotel_Review-g52536-d81405-Reviews-Eagles_Mere_I... Or google it: "Eagles Mere" --
