Feeling restless? Ready for a change of scenery? Come visit! Enjoy winter in a new wonderful way. Here are six ways to shake off even the most persistent feelings of cabin fever.  

`1. Take in Downtown Lancaster

Historic Downtown Lancaster is one of the oldest inland towns in America and is considered the small city that changed America.

Downtown Lancaster is a charming, fun, and interesting place to visit. Art, History, and Architecture will amaze you. Check out the vibrant 19th-century farmers market, engaging museums, lively art galleries, interesting architecture, one-of-a-kind shops, and unique restaurants offering local foods, and casual and fine dining.

Start your morning at one of the many  Museums and see where the day takes you.

2. Antique Treasure Hunting in Columbia

Spend an afternoon or weekend discovering things our ancestors loved and used in their everyday lives. Things that represent the way things used to be. Down the river from Marietta within about a 10 block radius you’ll find a number of antique shops and malls.

To get you started, here are a few of the markets: Burning Bridge Antiques,  Tollbooth Market, River Town Antiques

In today’s fast-paced, throw-away society, it’s antiques that remind us of the value of a different way of life.

3. Ski Roundtop

With the ski season underway, and just an hour's drive from Marietta, enjoy a day of skiing at  Roundtop. They offer ski and snowboarding experiences for all skill levels. For those wanting to experience a bit of joyful giggling, they have tubing as well.

4. Tubing and Ice Skating at Heritage Hills Golf Club in York

No reason to leave the golf course behind in the winter! But do leave your clubs behind for a different kind of fun at AvalancheXpress Snow Tubing and The Rink at Heritage Hills Resort. Grab a combo pass and enjoy all-day snow tubing and ice skating.

You could find your inner child in bouncy tubing runs, and in wintertime bliss practice your skating spins and toe jumps on the ice or simply circle the rink.  

You’ll forget all about your wintertime golfer blues and redefine your country club par - no handicaps needed here.

5. Cross-country Ski on the Northwest River Trail

While strolling the Northwest River Trail, is a Summertime favorite of our B&B guests, it’s the snowy winters that add another layer of magic to the trail. Bring your cross-country skis and find out for yourself. Do give us a call to check on snow conditions.
