Penn Alps: 
Penn Alps Restaurant and Craft Shop are housed in the last log hospitality house on the National Pike still serving the traveler. It is situated between a 1797 gristmill and a historic stone arch bridge (the longest single span of stone in America when built in 1813 ). Three of its six dining rooms were once part of the log stagecoach stop, Little Crossings Inn. Penn Alps Restaurant offers a varied menu, including its well-known daily soup and salad bar and weekend buffets. The German ancestry of the Amish and Mennonite charter members of this nonprofit organization is reflected in many entrees on the menu. 

Spruce Forest Artisan Village: 
Spruce Forest Artisan Village, a part of the extended Penn Alps campus, has grown from a few cabins to some 12 log and frame structures of early vintage, two of which date to the Revolutionary War Period. The Miller House and Compton School have narrating hosts who volunteer time during the summer. Artisans work in various media, including: bird carving, basket making, hand-loom weaving, and hand-thrown pottery. Also produced in the village are stained glass art, hand-forged iron, hand-crafted teddy bears, and hand-crafted natural soaps. Whether looking for a special family dining experience, a shop with unique gift selections, spending time with an artisan at work, basking in history or enjoying mountain scenery, a trip to Penn Alps on the Casselman is a must! 

Mountain Grape Tavern: 
The Mountain Grape Tavern -where Mediterranean and Appalachian cuisine come to life on the banks of the Casselman Riveria! Featuring a variety of steaks. fresh pastas, ever growing wine list, draft beer, classic cocktails and more!
