FACILITIES/AMENITIES
Spring Hills, affectionately called “the Farm” by family and friends, offers a wide variety of facilities and activities to complete your special event. Pond HouseLife at Spring Hills farm has focused at the Pond House since the family
built it in 1957. The original structure is made entirely of fieldstone
from the farm. It has since grown to include two double bedrooms, two
baths, a well-equipped kitchen and washer/dryer.
The 25-by-45-foot living room, with a cathedral ceiling and six-foot fieldstone fireplace, is an ideal meeting place for both large and intimate groups. For large groups, it can double as a dormitory. Bunk HouseNearby, the rustic bunkhouse sleeps up to eight people. There is a kitchen with hot and cold running water in the bunkhouse. A wood stove provides quick and pleasant heat. The bunk house is provided with a sanitary latrine as well. Lawns In warm weather the lawns provide plenty of shaded corners for
casual PondThere is a big spring-fed pond with a float for swimmers. The farm encompasses its own watershed, so the purity of the spring and well water can be trusted. In the winter, the pond is a great place for ice skating or an impromptu hockey game.Be sure to bring your skates and helmet. Fields/VistasWhether you are looking for a landscape to paint, or just a view to relax your mind, the Farm has plenty to offer. Open fields and hedgerows follow the gentle rise of the land, eventually giving way to the Big Woods that make up most of the property. Picturesque stone walls and buildings line and dot the landscape and just over the hill, you can see the trees of Lackawanna State Park, where the occasional Hot Air Balloon launch sends a bundle of rope and color scooting over the landscape. Horse CarriageSpring Hills Farm, in keeping with our goal of environmental sustainability, has put a beautiful team of draft horses to work and they are ready to take you on spectacular tour of the farm in a horse drawn carriage or sleigh. Kids love these gentle giants and their grace and power are sure to impress even the hardiest tractor enthusiast. ActivitiesIn addition to the swimming and walking, the Farm is quite suitable for running and a variety of outdoor activities. Our family reunions always involve a game of volleyball, badminton or softball, and there is even a basketball hoop for a game of HORSE. In the winter, cross country skiing at Spring Hills or at the neighboring State Park is superb. There is always work to be done around the Farm, so let us know if your team building exercise requires a group effort, and we will surely find something for you to do. | |
