This was an amazing place with remarkable people. Hop was extremely friendly and helpful. And Marie made the most incredible breakfast. They made us feel like we were part of the family. I couldn’t have asked for anything better. He gave us a tour and let us feed and pet the horses, who I now love! And the pool and hot tub were absolutely wonderful! I can’t say enough about how much I love Saddleview! I would strongly recommend this place to anyone traveling in Pennsylvania. It is a must see. I definitely plan on returning.
