"Eleven U.S. presidents have stayed at this 2,200-acre "quaint, old-fashioned resort" in the Allegheny Mountains; "it takes you back in time in style." For more than 200 years, the property’s eight springs have served as a gathering place and still figure in the treatments at the 30,000-square-foot spa. With "the utmost respect for its heritage," the resort has restored some guest rooms; most include balconies with rocking chairs overlooking the creek or mountains. The 1796 Room is the signature steak and chop house; at Frontier Tavern, linger over artisanal brews or toast marshmallows over a fire pit. The Crystal Room is one of the oldest restaurants in America and serves breakfast, lunch, brunch, and dinner created by a "fantastic chef." "A visit to the spa alone is worth the trip."
