4 Lodge at Glendorn Lodge^ $$$
(%800-843-8568; http://www.glendorn.com; 1000
Glendorn Dr; r from $450) It’s no surprise
that this 1200-acre estate is easily the most
luxurious accommodation in the region; after
all, it was built as the family retreat for the
scions of Clayton Glenville Dorn who made a
fortune during the late 18th century oil boom.
There’s a ‘big house’ and a dozen cabins done
up in log cabin, rustic panache with more than
50 fireplaces throughout the property. Outdoor
activities like snowmobiling, skeet shooting and
fishing are offered.

5 Fezz’s Diner Diner^ $
(Mill Creek Plaza, Rte 6; mains $6; h6am-3pm
Mon-Wed, to 9pm Thu-Sat, 8am-3pm Sun)
This proudly retro diner doesn’t seem to have
changed much since it was shipped lock, stock
and barrel from Bethlehem, PA in the mid-
1950s. Expect good burgers, large portions and
at times, old-school – ie delayed and less than
solicitous – service.

there’s constellations and stars still overhead.
Pitch a tent on this primitive site – no electricity,
no showers, vault toilets, no pets and no
reservations. It’s a small area nestled between
the two stargazing fields. The campsite at
nearby Lyman Run State Park has hot showers
and flush toilets.Galeton 6

have a small swimming pool and gym.NEW.JERSEY.&.PENNSYLVANIA.TRIPS.14
