All-Inclusive Transparent Pricing
​
We take pride in the transparency of our pricing structure with absolutely no hidden fees. We are aware that many social retreat venues are not upfront with the overall cost, making it difficult for retreat coordinators to determine if they can stay within their budget or not. We decided to change that industry standard and make all of our pricing easily available to anyone interested in our property. Our transparent pricing structure makes it simple for potential retreat groups to determine, to the penny, what their two-night social retreat at The Nature Inn will cost by using this simple equation:
​
Package Price x # of Guests = Total Cost
​
All charges, including tax & gratuity, have been calculated and are included in our all-inclusive pricing structure for every social retreat package that we offer.
guest accommodations & Booking commitment
As a two-night social retreat destination, your group will enjoy exclusive use of the entire lodge for your social retreat gathering. By booking your retreat with us, you are committing to fill all sixteen (16) of our overnight guest rooms for both nights of your social retreat package.
All retreat groups will enjoy a 15 percent discount on overnight rooms, which is factored into the Overnight Corporate Retreat Package all-inclusive pricing.
Team Building Activities
Invigorate your group and help foster team building through nature-based activities with our door-step access to year-round land and water activities. If you prefer formal programming, we encourage you to contact Bald Eagle State Park’s environmental education staff at (814) 625-9369 well in advance. Popular activities have included guided hikes, Green Building tours, birding programs, and snowshoeing & cross country ski outings typically at no cost. If you prefer to organize your own group outings, seasonal activities can be arranged through the marina and include individual kayaks or pontoon boat rentals.
outdoor patio, grill & fire ring
During colder months, gatherings move indoors around the large stone fireplace in our Great Room. You'll also enjoy exclusive use of our outdoor spaces, weather permitting, which are among the most memorable in central Pennsylvania. With views overlooking the lake, the patio draws guests looking to unwind after a full day. Our communal fire ring is an evening focal point throughout much of the year. We provide seasoned wood, starter materials, and marshmallow sticks. Gatherings often include lively conversation shared over s’mores or an evening cocktail.
