A Victorian Bed and Breakfast located midway between Hershey and Gettysburg and just a short drive to Pennsylvania Dutch country just 4 miles from Carlisle.

Relax and get away from it all for a day or two. However, if you like, some of the best trout fishing in the country is just down the street, or since we are located midway between Hershey Park and Gettysburg, you can spend a day at each and return daily for a relaxing evening. Pennsylvania Amish Country is only 45 minute drive.

This information was sent to us after quite a few inquiries to our website about use of the Gazebo.

“Use of the gazebo at Children’s Lake is administered by the National Park Service, but we can take care of the administrative logistics for you.

Basically, the process goes like this: we review the conditions of use, you apply for a special use permit which costs $50, we review the application and resolve any questions, and you get a special use permit. Feel free to give us a call.”

Many people have used the gazebo for their weddings, senior photos and other memorable moments. If you only plan to use the gazebo in passing, like your senior photos, there is no need to reserve the gazebo. However, if you want the private use of the gazebo for a ceremony or gathering – this is where you need to contact the ATC for use and permission.

Flyfishing trips on the Yellow Breeches Creek in South Central Pennsylvania, near Boiling Springs. Trips also offered on many select limestone and freestone streams throughout the Commonwealth of PA.

May and June can be hit or miss.  May is definitely nice, cool (not cold)… very spring like normally.  June is different – sometimes it is hot, last year was cold and rainy.  Can’t predict that one.

The pool opens on Memorial Day weekend and is only open on weekends until school lets out (around the 10th of June)

Boiling Springs, at the Yellow Breeches, is one of the best fly fishing areas in the country.   There is an anglers shop (Yellow Breeches Outfitters) at one end of the Children’s Lake and they probably have more information.

Allenberry is 1/4 mile from the Lake.  In addition to Allenberry there are 2 more B&B’s right on Front Street, the Garmanhaus and Gelina’s Manor.

I don’t know of many great things for a toddler to do in Boiling Springs, since the fishing really lends itself to an older tourist population.  The pool is nice – but he probably can’t ride the slides, so you are limited.

Hershey and Dutch Wonderland are about 45 minutes away.  Dutch Wonderland would be great for him – I am sure.  Watch the schedule for open dates and times.  May is tricky.

Hershey Park may or may not be too old for him.  They have kids rides and there is a waterpark section as well that he may be able to use, but for the price – I have to feel that the older the better.

As far as restaurants, Allenberry has two, the Boiling Springs Tavern is right across from the lake (fine dining, dinners at around $20), and Anile’s is a Italian pizza/sub shop – really great food there as well.

Other than that – Boiling Springs is small, quaint, quiet, nice scenery, but not so much the ‘place to be for exciting things’… not to knock the town – but exciting is not the key.  Quiet and relaxing is more the pace.

The Internet is quickly becoming the storefront, marketplace and information source of the 21st century. In fact, if you do not currently have an established presence on the internet, or are not making plans to get one soon, you will not be able to compete in tomorrow’s marketplace and will be left behind as technology takes us into the future. As a direct reflection of your professionalism and company image, your web site design and how your message is presented must create a powerful impression.
