Feeling the river or the bay today? At Susquehanna State Park, both are at your fingertips. Boaters can hit the big waters from the Susquehanna River, and fishers can test their skills while catching bass, perch, catfish and carp. Head out in the spring, and you can catch the annual shad and herring runs. If you’re more of a landlubber, the park offers 15 miles of hiking trails, shared by humans and horses, and lots of sites to walk back in time, including The Rock Run Grist Mill and mansion. For tots, Susquehanna State Park interpretive programs are available throughout the summer.

I had such a wonderful time here! The area was so beautiful and the little house thing they have set up with a bed was so comfy and cute. The hosts were super kind and responsive and super understanding of the emergency situation that had come up for me.They have a heater and fire wood available for a small fee. Will most definitely be coming back soon!

The Chapel is a beautiful little getaway located next to Buck Run, a refreshing creek nestled in a serene landscape of horse farms and wooded areas. You can walk right into the Laurels, a stunning 500-acre preserve of land with lovely trails to run and walk. We can highly recommend staying here!

It was great camping inside this old and charming hundreds year old cottage. The space is pretty large, and has a wood burning stove that keeps the inside warm. The property is beautiful with rolling hills and meadows, horses, woods, and a beautiful creek right behind the cottage. If you want to get into nature in a historical way this is the place for you. Also the area is filled with small historic towns and feels secluded but not very remote, so you can be in town in 10-15 minutes. Would recommend and would visit again.

Weekend Trip to Laureleye Farms
This is a beautiful spot! The building is gorgeous, and seeing horses everywhere was amazing. The tables were appreciated, as was the starter pile of firewood and our host was responsive.
Staying here is lovely but prepare as though you are camping. It doesn't have any indoor amenities and the stones trap the cold. There also doesn't seem to be turnover after guests (there was a dog poop bag in the trash can when we arrived) and the road next to the chapel gets residential traffic. Also seems to be a less-than-friendly neighbor, we saw her taking pictures of the cottage while we were in it and she knocked on our door in the early morning to let us know we had dropped a napkin on the ground. Rural but not secluded.

The chapel was so rad. Did some cold plunging in the creek behind it. I'm a mariner that lives in washington and rented the chapel to be close to philadelphia for a weekend with a lady friend. It was a beautiful place to lay my head and very conveniently located for adventures in nature and the city alike. I might consider an extended stay here again in the summer. Susannah is a great host. The wood stove provided adequate heat even for my impromptu trip eith rudimentary gear.
