For city dwellers that are most, the backwoods is appealing correctly as a result of what it really isn’t: filled with other folks. River hill, nestled into the forests three . 5 hours west of Philly, includes a philosophy that is different. Every thing right right here — through the public rooms to the nightly bonfires — is made to get strangers knowledgeable about the other person. No wonder: Until the pandemic forced a modification of plans, the home had been intended being a summer time camp for children (hence those shared rooms).
Now, River hill, open since final September, is like an upscale hostel, the kind of destination where you are able to arrive solamente and quickly end up sitting around a fire, consuming beers with a group of strangers till the wee hours of this evening.

Where You’ll remain
Each one of the property’s four main cabins contains 12 resting “pods,” stacked like bunks, with curtains for privacy. (the most effective pods have skylights for bedtime stargazing.) For more solitude, book a personal tipi, or perhaps the closest thing River hill needs to conventional rooms: a personal lodge space, which sleeps six (albeit still in pods). Prices start at $52 per night for the pod that is single $220 for the tipi; personal lodge spaces begin at $220.
