and a number of antique shops are near by. Eagles Mere remains
much the same as it did years ago when the pace of life
was more peaceful and less stressful. Eagles Mere - "the
last unspoiled resort", now waits for you after searching
for that perfect corner cupboard along the way.

You won't find an antique shop
in New Berlin, but to quote the Philadelphia Inquirer you'll
find "A luxurious base for indulging in a clutch of
quiet pleasures” Inn memories are made from the inviting
front porch swing to the herb garden where the restaurant’s
seasonings and garnishes are selected. Superb dining at
Gabriel’s Restaurant, coupled with romantic lodging,
provides an uptown experience in a rural setting.
