Keeping Busy During the Crazy Weather

If you've driven down the driveway recently or are planning to you'll notice that there's some significant work being done in the woods that border the drive. Right now with the crazy warm wet weather it looks as if we've asked people to make mud but in reality, a crew is taking out the old dead trees that continually fall down with each good wind, blazing nice wide trails for walking and riding and giving us some additional special event parking. Our apologies while this is going on. The plan is to have it completed by spring. We appreciate your patience and understanding.

Inside there's some good stuff going on as well. We're refreshing the master bedroom in the Grey Mare's Quarters, with new bedding and a fresh coat of paint( goodbye pink, hello lovely neutrals!). In March a new spa shower will be installed in Graham's Retreat which will feature a luxurious rain shower head and body sprays inside new terrazo marble tiles.

The first section of the quarantine barn is nearly complete with plans to put an addtional two stalls in this summer. This will be for our traveling equines to stay in comfort, provided our daughters don't find a new pony in the meantime.. Its quite hard to keep stalls empty here, I've discovered and is there anything more fun than pony shopping?

Speaking of ponies... Ours are ready to make your child's birthday special. We've begun taking reservations for pony parties starting in April. Contact us via email if you are interested in how we can make your child's special day no stress for you and memorable for them.

Stay Warm and Dry!

2012 PA Farm Show!

Its that time again, time for the largest agricultural exposition in the country, the 96th annual Farm Show. As a kid this was huge for my family. We'd take the day off from school to go see the butter sculptures, watch the "Garden Tractor Pull" and of course all the horse events, my favorite being the 6 Horse Hitch.

They have something for everyone from Culinary School Demos to Logging Horse Demos to  Square Dance Parades. The Mini Pony Pull will be popular with your kids while the Skid Loader Showdown will make husbands laugh.

The Show runs from January 7th- 14th and is something worth coming into the area for.  Fallen Tree is just 20 minute away from the Farm Show arena and has a great special for a two night stay for this event. Call us today for reservations.

Time to get Snowed Inn with Us!

As the excitement of the holidays fade you might find yourself exhausted by all the clamor of family, friends, gifts, parties etc. Or you might find yourself energized by the opening of a New Year. Either way Fallen Tree is a great place to find respite in the month of January. While there are several events going on in the area, perhaps having an UNEVENTFUL weekend is the way to do it. Three of the four rooms at Fallen Tree have fireplaces and the dining room is stocked with coffee/tea, hot chocolate, cookies and popcorn. Pick a movie from our stocked DVD cupboard and never leave your room.... Ok.. maybe leave to visit us in the Dining Room for breakfast. Its three courses of gourmet scrumptiousness. But if you REALLY don't want to leave your room... We'll bring it to you on a tray with a carafe of piping hot coffee.

But if you really need to go out... Check out  the 10th Annual Ice Fest in Chambersburg PA January 26-29, 2012. See live ice carving, take a run down an ice slide and check out the Chili Cook off. Its a unique event that has grown each year.
