Looking Forward

Picture taken of the front yard of the Inn last fall. 

 Well August is half way gone which means this is my last week here at the Crestmont Inn.  I have mixed feelings about returning to Saint Joseph's University.  Although I love school and can not wait to get back, the staff here is like my second family.  Fred and Elna are the most generous people you will ever meet.  Fred has even taken me golfing when we can find a free minute here this summer which I have wanted to do so badly!  The course at the Eagles Mere Country Club is absolutely beautiful and a reason in itself to visit Eagles Mere this fall.  I will not be gone for too long before I return in October to celebrate the wedding of our two chefs here at our restaurant.  The leaves of autumn should make for a beautiful backdrop for the ceremony on the patio.  Although summer is coming to a close our business is booming and if you enjoy the outdoors, our town that time forgot holds plenty of options for activities.  You also have never seen the colors of autumn quite as vibrant as they appear here in the Endless Mountains!  The Labor Day market will happen here again September 3, and we can begin to cross our fingers that the ice will grow thick and the Toboggan Slide will once again be enjoyed on the Eagles Mere lake this winter.  But for now Eagles Mere is the perfect place to spend a little vacation this fall.  We hope to see you soon!

Patio Happenings at the Crestmont Inn

    The busy season has started here at the Crestmont Inn.  We have just had two beautiful weddings held on the patio.  Thankfully the rain held off for the ceremonies and then they proceeded into the main dining room for five course dinners.

The patio set up for the wedding on Saturday June 4, 2011.

    The patio is filling up fast, so get your reservations in.  The new addition of the bar outside has become a big hit.  Whether you choose to dine outside or just enjoy a cocktail, the patio has the intimate and romantic feeling you are looking for in Eagles Mere, the town that time forgot!

The Starting of the Summer Season at the Crestmont Inn

My name is Danielle Myers and I am working here, at the Crestmont Inn, for my third summer.  I just finished my sophomore year at Saint Joseph’s University in Philadelphia, where I am a Leadership, Ethics, and Organizational Sustainability major.  My grandparents, the Oliver’s, use to own the inn and I am very excited to return.

Exciting changes are taking place for the opening of the summer season here in Eagles Mere.  The patio that was opened last summer for dining is getting a new addition.  A gorgeous martini bar will be opening on the patio Memorial Day weekend!  The Boys of Eagles Mere Pizza have expanded their menu and are looking forward to another busy and splendid summer season.

The Patio now complete with a beautiful martini bar!

The Inn is in the process of expanding its amenities that are available to guests!  A DVD library is now available in the Commons Room.  It includes 64 DVD’s as of May, but that number will continue to grow.

I am thrilled to come back to the Inn and work for Fred and Elna, who are like family.  Their family has also grown with the addition of Seneca, another standard poodle.  Come visit the Crestmont Inn to see Seneca and the many exciting changes this summer!Danielle

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!
