Food scene
We love the burger, falafel, hummus, and smoothies! Vegetarian, vegan, and GF friendly! Kids menu and fresh baked goods also! If you’re eating at the restaurant look around at the market while you wait for your food for fresh produce (grown there), local meats, eggs and cheese, and other organic groceries. There are prepared foods in the back cooler—the cinnamon buns are a favorite!

We love taking our kids here for ski lessons. Parents can watch from above the class on the deck—stay warm at the fire pits and have lunch from the bar and enjoy watching the children learn.
Experienced skiers have many options and this resort is much calmer and easier to navigate than some of the other Pocono ski resorts.
