Labor Day Bed & Brew

Celebrate the long Labor Day weekend with a relaxing getaway to Gateway Lodge in Cook Forest, Pennsylvania. Our Labor Day Bed & Brew package combines comfort, local flavor, and outdoor adventure. It’s perfect for couples or anyone looking to unwind with craft beer and nature.

Your stay includes up to three nights in one of our Fireside Suites, each featuring a cozy gas fireplace and jetted tub. Start your mornings with a locally sourced breakfast delivered right to your door, and spend your days exploring one of the most scenic areas in the Pennsylvania Wilds.

On Saturday evening, enjoy a three-course dinner prepared from scratch using seasonal ingredients. Each course is thoughtfully paired with craft beer selections from Pennsylvania’s top regional breweries. During dinner, relax to the sounds of live jazz performed by a talented local musician. It’s an evening that celebrates the best of community, cuisine, and creativity.

While you’re here, take part in special Labor Day programming at Cook Forest State Park, just minutes away. On Saturday afternoon, join Park Naturalist Dale Luthringer for a guided hike through the Forest Cathedral, a National Natural Landmark known for its towering old-growth trees. If you miss the Saturday hike, don’t miss the Fire Tower and Seneca Point Historical Tour on Sunday, beginning at 11:30 a.m. from the Cook Forest Fire Tower.

Also nearby is the Quiet Creek Herb Farm & School of Country Living, which hosts its annual Fall Fest on Saturday starting at 10 a.m. This educational and family-friendly event includes herbal wellness workshops, guided farm tours, artisan booths, and activities focused on sustainable living.

This Labor Day weekend is a chance to celebrate the contributions of working families while enjoying the peaceful surroundings of Cook Forest. Whether you’re sipping a craft beer by the fire, walking under ancient trees, or learning from local farmers, your stay supports a region dedicated to sustainability, community, and care.
