Frosty Hollow B & B & Cherry Springs State Park
One of our Favorite B & B’s
FROSTY HOLLOW BED AND BREAKFAST
Located just a short distance from the Park, the charming Frosty Hollow Bed and Breakfast is conveniently close and one of the top B and Bs in the area. Its cozy and inviting atmosphere is exactly what we look for when searching for accommodations. In fact, we had such a great stay that we didn’t want to leave!
This beautiful property consists of a remodeled barn and farmhouse in a tranquil valley, only a three-minute drive from US Highway 6 and less than a mile from a country club and golf course. The Ayers family has been welcoming guests since 1992, decorating the barn with their personal collection of antiques and heirlooms passed down through generations.
In 1998, they renovated the farmhouse on their 10-acre property where Joe grew up. With Gail’s unique touch, each of the ten guest rooms is decorated uniquely, leaving no expense spared. You won’t want to leave the luxurious beds and pillows that will make you wish you would never move a muscle. However, once you get out of bed and go to breakfast, you’ll be glad you did.
WHEN IT ALL BEGAN
This was one of our first Photography journeys, and when a photography magazine extra was created. This is where it all began.
Gail’s presence had a profound impact on me. Did you ever meet somebody that you’ll always remember? Well, that was Gail for me. Her warmth and support as I photographed the beauty of her bed and breakfast for my magazine were unforgettable. To top it off, she generously gifted us with a complimentary room. As I was just getting the magazine off the ground, that boast of confidence to me was something I’ll never forget, and I am eternally grateful.
Could you imagine if Gail said, oh, no, I’m not interested in being in your magazine? Would I have had the courage to try again at the next hotel or bed and breakfast? You see, I have to confess, I wasn’t very confident initially. But I can tell you one thing. I was driven. I’m still driven. In over a decade plus, I have come a long way both as a photographer and as a person and running this magazine.
We’re now coming up on 300 pages. Most of our articles are on page one, and we have encouraged millions of photographers and guided them to the greatest photography locations and some of the best places to stay.
For nearly a decade, we have featured Frosty Hollow Bed and Breakfast on three pages of our publication, and every word is genuine. I am enamored with this Bed and Breakfast. I still remember the conversation about the pillows. This has got to be the very best pillows I’ve ever experienced! I’ve experienced a lot of pillows. (Don’t spread that around.) All kidding aside, this is one of our all-time favorite places we have stayed in during our journeys.
Cherry Springs State Park
Astronomers and stargazers appreciate Cherry Springs State Park’s darkness and clarity, making it “perhaps the last best refuge of the natural night sky” in the eastern half of the United States. The sky at Cherry Springs has been classified as a two on the Bortle Dark-Sky Scale, meaning it has almost no light pollution. With optimal conditions, 10,000 stars are visible to the naked eye at the park. Clouds appear only as black holes in the starry sky, and the Milky Way is so bright that it casts a discernible shadow.
