Pennsylvania Bed and Breakfast Budget Hotel Guest House Accommodation
Located in the Middle Atlantic region of the US, Pennsylvania has been known as the ‘Keystone State’ for its central location amid the US’s first thirteen states, and its powerful economic status both as an industrial and agricultural producer. It has 51 miles of coastline along Lake Erie and 57 miles of shoreline along the Delaware Estuary. Philadelphia is Pennsylvania’s largest city.
Thought of as the birthplace of America, Philadelphia and the surrounding countryside is a region of incredible beauty, friendly charm and rich history. From the meeting rooms of Independence Hall, early Philadelphians set the course for freedom with their early vision of forming a self-governing nation. The memory of their struggles and sacrifices endures at places like Brandywine Battlefield and Valley Forge. Having visited the obligatory historic sights such as the Liberty Bell, booked in for an evening performance at one of Philadelphia’s renowned theatres and relished the bustle of atmospheric coffee shops and antique stores in the New Hope and Doylestown areas, you can head out to the rolling hills and wineries of the Leigh Valley north of the city. Heading even further north, you will reach the Pocono Mountains, with their reputation as the ultimate getaway spot for those seeking winter snow or outdoor recreation. This is a winter haven of white powder snow and groomed trails, and its state parks provide the ideal country for hiking, biking and water activities throughout the rest of the year. See more of the local heritage and history, and visit the Luzerne County Courthouse, the Old Schocopee School House and ride on the Water Gap Trolley.
West of Philadelphia, you will find the so-called Dutch Country, featuring the simple beauty of Amish farmland and settlements, farmers’ markets and antiques stores; thriving quaint villages alongside amusement parks (Maize Quest and Eagle Falls) and sophisticated cities with many cultural attractions. Central Pennsylvania is classic Americana: small Victorian towns and close-knit communities, covered bridges spanning tree-sheltered streams, loyal crowds cheering for their local teams on a Saturday afternoon. Scattered throughout are state parks and forests that offer unmatched beauty and tranquility. These are the Alleghenies and Her Valleys.
Outdoor thrills, rugged mountain scenery and charming villages rich in history and culture are just a few reasons to visit the Pennsylvania Wilds. Its unsurpassed beauty and relaxed way of life make visitors feel at home. Here, you can wish upon a star in Cherry Springs State Park, Pennsylvania’s first dark sky preserve, and hike or bike the Pine Creek Gorge, Pennsylvania’s Grand Canyon. This is also a popular destination for campers and fishermen.
Whether you are seeking the bright lights of one of the world’s top cultural destinations, or the quiet beauty of the surrounding countryside, the region of Pittsburgh will always please. From the stunning views and rushing waters of Ohiopyle State Park to the shows and exhibitions of Pittsburgh’s Cultural District, this is a welcoming, relaxed place to explore or hang out. Further north, the Lake Erie coast is a National Natural Landmark, with stretches of sandy surf beaches and perfect fishing and boating amid an unspoilt watery landscape teeming with wildlife, especially birds. Inland, there are lush forests and idyllic Victorian towns to explore, including Titusville, the site of the first-ever successful oilwell and now part of the Oil Heritage Region State Park.
