It’s been a real winter and March came in like a lion! Hopefully these will be the last of the ice and snow posts until next winter!
How time flies when you’re having fun! Can it already be March?! As you can see, we’re making serious progress on the cabin! Here are a few sneak peeks! It is filled with lots of surprises and special features! We are so anxious to open North Star Cabin to our guests! Be sure to follow our progress on Instagram.
We are so grateful to those who stayed with us last year and hope to see many of you again, as well as meet lots of new folks! We have only just begun and are thrilled with the recognition we’ve received so far! We reached ‘superhost’ status on Airbnb, we won the local newspaper Reader’s Choice Award for ‘Favorite Bed and Breakfast’ and we were mentioned in the Hipcamp Journal by our guests, Melissa and Mark!
In House Concert News, we’ve had a change in the lineup for our 2018 house concert series. Heron Valley, from Scotland, were not able to tour after all but we are just as happy to get Téada, from Ireland, to kick things off on March 15! On April 8th, we have April Verch Band (that should be easy to remember!), on May 12th, Austin MacRae, a singer songwriter from New York will be here for the first time. In June we welcome back multi-instrumentalist, singer-songwriter, and Irish dancer, Dave Curley! July welcomes back a favorite at OMH, Ari Hest! Ari will return on July 29th. We haven’t booked a show for August. We will be heading to Dublin Ohio for the annual Irish Festival. We attend each year to see and hear new bands as well as old favorites. Then, on September 1 (which happens to be Labor Day weekend) we’re excited to introduce to our area the band, The Novel Ideas! And finally, on October 7 we welcome back Christian Pabst, from Amsterdam, as the Christian Pabst Trio! Check out all of these artists online and be sure to RSVP on the Facebook event page by selecting ‘going’ or via email to reserve your seats. It is very important (and courteous) that folks let us know how many seats you want to reserve as we have to prepare, with setup and refreshments. Some of these shows will include a potluck, otherwise, guests typically bring their favorite beverage and a snack to share. As always, please feel free to share concert announcements with your friends! Invite them to like our pages on Facebook and to follow us on Instagram!
There are many events in the area coming up in the warmer months. There is a canoe/kayak race on March 31, the annual Red Moshannon Downriver Race, (RedMo) and on May 7th is the 15th Annual West Branch Susquehanna River Wild Canoe and Kayak Race. We’ll include other spring and summer events in future posts. If you need a place to stay, we are the Ultimate Restination in the heart of the Pennsylvania Wilds! Come… stay with us!
Until next time… be well, be kind, be happy!
