Things to Do at Seven Springs This Summer

Seven Springs isn't just a winter mountain. Once the snow melts, the Laurel Highlands turn into one of the best summer playgrounds in Pennsylvania, and Mountain Haven puts your whole group right in the middle of it. Here's how we'd spend a summer weekend.

Start at the pool

The community pool is a short walk from the house, free for Mountain Haven guests, and open Memorial Day through Labor Day. It's the easy win for groups with kids (or anyone who just wants a lounge chair and sunshine), with plenty of seating and a covered pavilion for shade. (The resort's own pools at the Main Lodge are separate and require a hotel stay or an All-Day Adventure Pass.) Back at Mountain Haven, the private hot tub on the deck is open year-round for the evening wind-down.

Get on the mountain

• Alpine slide & mountain coaster: the kids will ask to go again and again.
• Mountain biking: lift-served trails for the adventurous, mellower paths for everyone else.
• Highlands Golf Course: it's a short walk from the front door, so the golfers in your group can sneak in a round before breakfast.

Go a little farther

The Laurel Highlands reward a short drive:

• Ohiopyle State Park (about 25 minutes): whitewater rafting on the Youghiogheny, waterfalls, and miles of trails.
• Fallingwater (about 30 minutes): Frank Lloyd Wright's masterpiece is one of the most famous houses in the world, and tickets sell out, so book ahead.
• Local wineries and distilleries: a relaxed afternoon option for the adults.

Cook in, gather, repeat

The best part of a group trip is the downtime. Mountain Haven sleeps 16+ across 3 bedrooms, a den, and a bunk loft. It has 3 full and 2 half baths, a full kitchen built to cook for the crowd, and a wet bar for the evenings. Grill on the deck, eat with a woods view, and let the kids disappear into the bunk loft.

Summer weekends fill fast, and the pool closes after Labor Day. If you're thinking about it, join our list for availability and a direct-booking offer, or send us your dates.
