Description

The Gruber Homestead Settler's Cabin, built during the 1700's, has become very popular as a romantic getaway for couples celebrating anniversaries and other special occasions.The cabin is furnished with period pieces built on the premises by Homestead Woodworking. The Gruber Homestead, nestled in the beautiful Pennsylvania Dutch countryside of historic Berks County, is minutes from Blue Marsh Recreation Area, offering hiking, biking and equestrian trails. The lake is open to the public for boating, fishing, and all kinds of water sports. Golf courses abound throughout the area. Other points of interest are the Christmas Village, Mid-Atlantic Air Museum, Conrad Weiser Homestead, and the fine dining of the Stouch Tavern in Womeldorf. Outlet shopping, dining, and entertainment, is a short drive away. The Gruber Homestead is also an excellent base for day trips to points of interest throughout the counties of Berks, Lebanon, Lancaster, and beyond. You may choose to spend your time relaxing at the homestead uninterrupted by a phone or TV.

Consider the Gruber Homestead Settler's Cabin for your romantic or weekend getaway.
