Pennsylvania is known for its rustic charm and opportunities to escape in a beautiful, undisturbed natural environment or charming small town. While enjoying the many activities available, there are also a multitude of places to stay.
In this article, we will discuss the range of lodging accommodations available in Pennsylvania, as well as many of the must-see sightseeing opportunities in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania.
For the traveler who is tired of commercialized, typical hotels and resorts, with their cardboard rooms and cramped quarters that can be pricey and have little unique character, there are many alternative options.
For those seeking a natural experience far away from civilization, a rustic cabin may be an excellent choice. Cabins can be found within the lovely mountain ranges, along flowing steams or on lakes.
For the person looking for small town charm, a Pennsylvania Bed and Breakfast is an accommodation that most people will be able to appreciate.
The historical neighborhoods of Pennsylvania offer a multitude of pleasures that include local crafts, food, and other fun activities. Whether it is a bed and breakfast you seek, or a rustic cabin in the mountains, Pennsylvania has a diverse set of lodging options to choose.
Cabin rentals are available throughout the state and can have as few or as many amenities as the avid traveler requires. Cabins range from very rustic and rugged, to the more luxurious, yet all may retain the simple charm of yesteryear.
There are many bed and breakfasts which are located in smaller towns, allowing the traveler to experience the true culture and lifestyle of Pennsylvania. Pennsylvania bed and breakfasts are notorious for their historical charm and close proximity to local craft communities.
Both the rustic cabin rental and the Pennsylvania bed and breakfast offer multitudes of activities available right outside your door, activities that the whole family can enjoy.
The mountain ranges of Pennsylvania provide ample opportunity for hiking, biking, and sight-seeing. Pennsylvania contains many lakes where visitors may go swimming, rent a boat, or simply relax on the beach.
Another important cultural aspect of Pennsylvania is the Amish communities, who offer excellent well-made crafts and food items. One may also take a train through Dutch country to revel in the simple lifestyle and beautiful rolling farms of the Pennsylvania Amish. All of this can be just a short distance away from whatever vacation destination you may choose.
After a few days of relaxing at your cabin rental or bed and breakfast, you may wish to venture out for a sightseeing trip through Pennsylvania.
Sightseeing Opportunities in Pennsylvania
There are several sightseeing destinations that should not be missed, such as the Pocono Mountains (http://www.800poconos.com/)! Containing over 150 lakes, these mountains offer it all – skiing, hiking, and boating, as well as access to gift shops and local flavors that entice the taste buds.
Another little-known natural treasure that is a must-see is the Pennsylvania Grand Canyon (http://www.visittiogapa.com/).
For those wishing to get a taste of Pennsylvania Dutch Country, Lancaster County is the place to visit (http://www.padutchcountry.com/).
To get the full experience, it is recommended that visitors ride on the Strasburg Railroad (http://www.strasburgrailroad.com/). This is especially delightful for children, as the railroad experience will be of great delight to the kid in all of us!
