Patio Now Open at Eaglesmere PA Bed and Breakfast

I trust that all of you had a fantastic & safe 4th of July weekend and that you were able to enjoy some awesome fireworks!


The patio is now OPEN!!! The patio includes seating for 20, a HUGE stone fireplace, & the best spot in Eagles Mere, other than on the lake of course, to relax & enjoy the outdoors all while dining on the best cuisine on the mountain.

Come sip a good glass of wine & watch the embers burn on a late summer night!

A note for those who LOVE the Boys of Eagles Mere Pizza - I suggest ordering in advance! They have been very, very busy this past weekend and have even had to turn some away because of the high demand. Thank you for all of your support!

This past week Holly Weiss visited Eagles Mere for a book signing & even though I was away for the weekend I had the chance to meet that lovely lady when she checked in.  Holly's story was very captivating and I just couldn't get enough. I recommend all of you get your copy, either here at the Crestmont Inn or at the Eagles Mere book store!

Eagles Mere PA - Fourth of July Events

Eagles Mere PA will host an Independence Day Parade and Concert on Sunday the 4th of July, 2010. The parade will start at the DeWire Center, which was named after a man who was tragically killed in fireworks accident, which is why Eagles Mere no longer hosts a fireworks display.  The parade will include people and dogs dressed in their patriotic best.

Following the parade, a concert featuring the REPASZ Band will be held on the Village Green.
Don’t forget to make your reservations at the Crestmont Inn, an Eagles Mere Bed and Breakfast, for the weekend of fun!

Historical Novel about the Crestmont Inn Coming Soon

It's almost here! "Crestmont", a historical fiction by Holly Weiss, is set for publication in May of 2010. We will have the book on display and for purchase here in our gift shop at the Crestmont Inn.

Here is the description:

"Interwoven into the story are details of the rich history of The Crestmont Inn, its owners and the town of Eagles Mere. Many attempts have been made to explain how the mountaintop take in Eagles Mere came to be. Crestmont gives a new twist to an old Native American legend."

How exciting, right? I strongly suggest that ALL Crestmont lovers get their copy, pronto! I personally can't wait to read it….I have heard many interesting stories from several guests that keep my curiosity churning.

I wouldn't say that I'm a history nut, but I love to hear the stories of such things as the original Crestmont. Interestingly enough, my parents own a pair of nightstands that belonged to the Crestmont, they were originally a blue color, and then my mother refinished them to the beautiful hardwood they are now. It's neat to say that they own a piece of history.

In other exciting news, Aaron Kelly is still going strong! Seems to be that Tuesday and Wednesday are the most stressful days here at the Inn all because of the anticipation and anxiety we have for Aaron's performances. I think that it is safe to say that Sullivan County, PA is moderately obsessed with Aaron Kelly, and rightfully so! Good luck Aaron!

The Boys of Eagles Mere Pizza now have t-shirts for purchase. These shirts come in several different colors and sizes - red, navy blue, white, heather gray and black. Get yours the next time you order a pizza pie!

Okay, okay, now I would like to talk about ME! This past weekend Brock and I, along with several others, were able to witness the wedding of two very good friends. We had a lot of fun and the food was outstanding. The wedding took place in the Canton, Pa area, which is where Brock calls home.

Next weekend, April 23-25, I am taking the opportunity to visit my best friend who attends Delaware Valley College in Doylestown, Pa. The college puts on an annual Agricultural Day at the end of April, in which the students are mainly responsible for planning and running this huge event and they do a fantastic job! Such activities at this event include a tour of the farms on campus by a tractor pulled wagon, do-it-yourself tie-die t-shirt booth, homemade apple cider, the Raceway Pig Show and a variety of other fun things. This is a two day event and there are several activities for those of all ages. If you are located or are visiting the South Eastern region of PA next weekend, you must experience A-Day for yourself!

Philadephia Flower Show Fan in Eaglesmere

How about that snow? Our Winter Wonderland has officially arrived, along with 20 inches of snow! Therefore, it is the perfect time for cross country skiing and snow sledding! If you're in the area stop by the Crestmont Inn and feel free to borrow skis, boots and snow saucer.

Eagles Mere continues to look beautiful no matter the weather, rain or shine the town is outstanding and especially the snow covered trees.



As you may know the Boys of Eagles Mere Pizza has been doing great, but has been bumped up to a new level. The take-out window is finally here! Now, instead of having to get out of the car to come to the front desk to get your pizza, the take-out window allows you to pull right up and get your pizza without having to get out, so convenient right? It is now even easier to enjoy a Boys of Eagles Mere pizza!

With that, I want to mention the increasingly famous Aaron Kelly. If you are ordering a pizza from the Boys of Eagles Mere remember to mention Aaron Kelly and receive $2 off your order! Aaron is now in the Top 20 on American Idol and we all have our fingers crossed in hopes that his talent will progress him into the Top 16. Good luck Aaron!

As I had mentioned in my first blog, I am a senior in college and it is mid-semester for the students of Mansfield University. This means its Spring Break time! Unlike most students, I have nothing too exciting planned. In fact, I will be off from work here at the Crestmont and shopping and making plans for my wedding in August.

August 14, 2010 seems to be rapidly approaching and I have a lot to do in the five months ahead of me including finding a wedding dress, which is at the top of my agenda for Spring Break. Thanks to my Mom and best friends, things are coming together and I am having a wonderful time making memories and preparing for one of the most important days of my life!

Some of you may know that Sunday was the kick-off for the Flower Show in Philadelphia. I was able to attend the first day and was absolutely astounded to see the amazing talent of those who created displays for the show. Along with the elephant, hot air balloon and other various scenes made almost completely out of flowers and other plants, Delaware Valley College had a display of its own. I mention this because my two best friends go to this school and we had an awesome time together!

Enjoy the snow and take care. I hope to have a wedding dress to report about next week!

Innkeeping Intern is Learning at the Crestmont Inn

Hey everyone! This is my first blog ever, so please bear with me!

My name is Katie Spencer and I am interning here in Eagles Mere at the wonderful Crestmont Inn. I will graduate in May with a bachelor's degree in Travel and Tourism. Fred and Elna have graciously accepted me as their Intern for the semester to fulfill my last requirements for my degree.

Although it is only my third week of interning I have learned so much here, interacting with guests is just not something that can be experienced in a classroom.

Exciting things are happening here at the Crestmont Inn. Check out the article about the Crestmont in the first anniversary edition of Inns Magazine's Weddings issue! The combined services of the Eagles Mere Country Club and the Crestmont Inn are known as Camelot, with "wedding specialists looking after you every whim", and indeed making our guests feel at home is what we strive for!

So we've all heard the news that the toboggan run will not be operating this year, bummer! However, the forecast is calling for 4-6 inches of snow for the weekend, which is wonderful for those X-country skiers!

Have you had the chance to taste the Boys of Eagles Mere pizza yet? You should! The boys have been very busy in the past few weeks with perfecting the recipe and getting their name out there. The business is off to a great start and we are looking forward to the continued business. A big thank you is in order to all of those in the community who have already started buying pizzas and calling and writing with words of encouragement!

For those of you who watch American Idol… Aaron Kelly, a local of Sonestown in Sullivan County, has graced America with his talent and has gotten himself a golden ticket to Hollywood. We are all routing for you Aaron!
Growing up in Northeast PA gets you use to the cold weather, but what's cold weather without the snow? I'm not a fan of either!

So you can find me by the cozy fireplaces at the Crestmont Inn @ Eagles Mere.
