One of the biggest getaway weekends of the season is coming up. And there is no better way to spend this President’s Day and Valentine’s Day weekend than at Nemacolin Woodlands Resort in the Laurel Highlands of Southwestern Pennsylvania.
Located about 70 miles south of Pittsburgh, this resort is ranked among the best in the world. It also has a full schedule planned for either a romantic getaway or a family vacation starting from 12 p.m. Friday to 8 p.m. Monday.
Activities planned include art tours and open gyms on all four days, family movies on Friday and Saturday, and other events like a wine tasting and a cooking demo. Though some events cost money to attend, most are complimentary.
Nemacolin’s own ski slopes on Mystic Mountain are also open all weekend with special hours from 12 to 8 p.m. on Friday and 9 a.m. to 8 p.m. on Saturday, Sunday, and Monday. The mountain includes seven slopes for skiing and snowboarding.
As far as meals go on this holiday weekend, special meals are planned to fit with the scheduled activities. On Friday, Saturday, and Sunday, a seafood buffet is offered from 6 to 10 p.m. in the Aqueous Restaurant. Also, a breakfast buffet is offered Saturday, Sunday, and Monday mornings from 7 to 11 a.m. in the Autumn Restaurant.
After enjoying dinner on Saturday night, gather for some live entertainment from 9 p.m. to 2 a.m. at The WildSide, an entertainment center for all ages. It is complete with a bowling alley, arcade games, sports bar, pool tables, rock climbing wall, free Wi-Fi, and an indoor exotic bird habitat.
If you don’t care for an activity-filled weekend, Nemacolin has that covered, too. Ranked at 10th in North America, the Woodlands Spa has a variety of treatments like facials, massages, and other “innovative therapies to rejuvenate your mind, body, and soul.” The resort also includes a full-service salon, a fitness center, and a kids’ spa.
Accommodations at the Nemacolin Woodlands Resort are all inclusive, including picks from resort lodges like the Chateau Lafayette, Falling Rock, the Lodge, the Townhomes, and the Luxury Homes. All of these are located within the resort while offering great variety to guests.
