if you would like a remote area with a great menu, this little local restaurant is superb! The specials are always good. Near Lucinda, but definitely worth the drive.

If you need to go to the grocery store in Cranberry (north), Clark's Donuts are the best place to stop . They've kept the same recipes since the 50's. It's a great local place now in Seneca, rt. 257.

This place has amazing food and beer! My favorite drink though, is their ‘old fashion’made from a local distillery. In the basement of the brewery, is some more seating and has pool table, shuffleboard, and a refurbished duck pin bowling! Fun for all!

A local waterfall that is an easy walk from a short drive or a nice hike from the cottage less than 2 mile walk with a short climb (on road) and through the old railroad tunnel. (you would want to take a flashlight) There is a small swimming hole that is fun. There is also an old iron furnace just below the falls.

we are so close to this bike path, you will drive over it when you reach the bottom of our hill, which is the upper end of The Rockland tunnel. The lower end of the Rockland tunnel is 1 mile past our place. You will need a light to ride your bike through @3/4 mile. Or it's just fun walking through without a light.
