Restaurant
Fawn & Fable
Tiered chandeliers hang over banquettes in this steakhouse, which sources dairy and produce from Pennsylvania farms.
The Grand Lodge, which houses the original hotel, was reimagined in 2023 to an all-suite accommodation, but Falling Rock... is the hub for the golf area.

Circle Bar mixes drinks around a central liquor tower, beside the tufted leather armchairs of The Study.
How it began
Industrialist Willard Rockwell established the property in 1968 as a private hunting retreat before its modern all-suite transformation.
