If you’re heading up our way, skip the highway rush and try this mini road trip itinerary:

​Stop 1: Morning Fuel in Historic Harmony

Just 30 minutes north of the city, pull into Historic Harmony. Grab a specialty latte or fresh crepe from Wunderbar Coffee, then walk across the brick square to The Two Fraus Bakery for scratch-made sourdough and treats for the road.

​Stop 2: Walk the Gorge at McConnell’s Mill State Park

Take the winding backroads into the Slippery Rock Creek gorge. Stretch your legs with an easy walk across the historic 1874 covered bridge and check out the roaring gristmill waterfalls before getting back in the car.

​Stop 3: Browse Main Street in Volant

Just minutes from the Bridgehouse, wander through the village of Volant. Pop into the historic 1800s mill, hunt for vintage treasures in the boutique shops, and grab warm Amish-made fry pies.

​Final Stretch: Golden Hour in New Wilmington

Roll the windows down as the two-lane roads open up to rolling farm pastures and passing horse-and-buggies. Pull up to The Bridgehouse, drop your bags, pour a glass of w**e, and officially unplug.

Fresh c***r, crackling fires & crisp September nights.

✨️✨️️Trade screen time for stream time.✨️✨️

​There is something magical about grabbing a good book, curling up on the covered daybed, and letting the steady flow of McClure Creek drown out the rest of the world. No alerts, no deadlines—just cool country breezes, the sound of water over stone, and the occasional clip-clop of an Amish buggy passing in the distance.

​If you were spending the afternoon here, what would you be doing?

​A) Reading that book you’ve been putting off
B) Taking an uninterrupted, guilt-free nap
C) Journaling with a fresh cup of local coffee
D) Staring into the trees doing absolutely nothing

A few unique Amish traditions right here in our backyard!

​Since so many of you loved hearing about life in New Wilmington, I wanted to share a few traditions that make our local Amish community so distinct from other settlements across the country:

​The Famous Blue Doors: Driving down our back roads, you’ll notice nearly every Amish home has a front door painted in a distinct shade of sky blue. While old local folklore used to claim a blue door meant a daughter was ready for marriage, it’s actually a long-standing local tradition rooted in unity, simplicity, and community identity.

​Burnt Orange & Brown Buggies: If you’ve visited Lancaster or Ohio, you’re used to seeing black or gray buggies. In our settlement, the tradition is reddish-brown and burnt-orange tops—an easy way to recognize a New Wilmington neighbor sharing the road.

​Rotating Church Sundays: Rather than building separate church structures, Sunday services rotate among families’ homes and barns. Huge benches are hauled from farm to farm in special church wagons each week, followed by a shared fellowship meal.

​Old-Fashioned Barn Raisings & Work Bees: When a family needs a barn rebuilt or quilts finished for a wedding, the entire community gathers. Watching an entire timber frame rise in a single afternoon with zero power tools is pure community spirit in action.

​Living side-by-side with this way of life is one of the main reasons our corner of western Pennsylvania feels so calm. Whenever you visit our Airbnbs, taking a slow drive past the rolling pastures and roadside produce stands is the ultimate way to unplug and reset.

The Perfect Family Saturday in New Wilmington.

​Looking for the ultimate unplugged family Saturday while staying at The Schoolhouse? Here is a tried-and-true itinerary that balances fresh country air, animal adventures, local treats, and cozy evening downtime.

​Morning: Porch Coffee & Country Sweets

​8:00 AM – Relax on the Deck: Start slow. Brew a fresh mug of coffee and take in the morning mist over the rolling fields from the covered deck while the kids wake up.

​9:00 AM – Amish Bakery Run: Take a scenic backroad drive past local farms and buggies to grab warm, fresh-baked cinnamon rolls, fruit hand pies, or homemade sourdough from a neighborhood Amish bakery stand.

​Late Morning: Wild Adventures at Keystone Safari

​10:30 AM – Get Up Close with the Animals: Head just down the road to Keystone Safari in Grove City. The walk-thru and drive-thru park lets the whole family hand-feed giraffes, meet friendly barnyard animals, and watch exotic wildlife roam. It's an absolute highlight for kids of all ages!

​Afternoon: Historic Volant & Local Flavors

​1:30 PM – Explore Historic Volant Mills: Wander through the quaint shops, antique nooks, and candy stores along Main Street.

​2:30 PM – Lunch & Cold Treats: Grab a casual family bite in town, followed by handcrafted ice cream or specialty sodas before heading back.

​Late Afternoon: Property Exploring & Unplugged Play

​4:00 PM – Scavenger Hunt & Lawn Games: Head back to the property for some relaxed outdoor time. Let the kids hunt for unique sights around the grounds, play tag in the open grass, or kick back in the hammock with a good book.

​Evening: Campfire & Stargazing

​6:30 PM – Easy Dinner & Fire Pit: Fire up the grill or unpack a local spread on the picnic table.

​8:00 PM – S’mores Under the Stars: Light up the fire pit, roast marshmallows, and watch the fireflies come out. With minimal light pollution out here in the countryside, the night sky puts on an unforgettable show to wrap up the day.

​What’s your family’s favorite part of a countryside getaway—the animal encounters, the sweet bakery stops, or campfire s'mores?
