innkeeper, and Amanda, the host of Bear Meadow Lodge, I wrote, “We would love to return…just to relax at the lodge and not do any touring…it is just so beautiful, romantic, peaceful, charming and atmospheric.” One of three bed and breakfasts in the Bear Lodges domain, Bear Meadow is a rustic-looking but modern log structure with a private deck for each of its four rooms.

While basking in the glow of a gorgeous golden sunset, we spotted a few white-tailed deer dining where the wildflower meadow meets the woods. We were pleasantly enveloped by the soothing water swirling in the hot tub on our private balcony overlooking meadows, woods and mountains. It was the last night of our four-night stay at the romantic Bear Meadow Lodge in Wellsboro, Tioga County, Pennsylvania. The hot tub and champagne seemed like the loveliest way to conclude our pleasant adventure surrounded by panoramic view of the Wilds of Pennsylvania in Grand Canyon Country. In a thank-you note to Jim Meade, the friendly and welcoming owner/
