I have such fond memories of our summer visits to my Paps cabin, the Heckman Hunting Camp! And the trips to fin-fur- feather made is more special. Hoping to visit again someday.
I work at FFF. I am sorry to report that we are not offering lodging or rooms. I want people to know that so I don't have to keep telling you no on the phone. Great food, friendly staff and Historical building.
This place oozes with character, and as it turns out, is one of several quirky gift shops/variety store/lunch counters that dot both Route 44 and Route 6. This one stands out because of the giant black bear by the side of the road. The store is a conglomeration of thrift shop, used books, snacks and fun apparel for the whole family. In truth, this is not your Hallmark style gift shop. They sell guns and ammunition. And the sweatshirt I bought needed to be washed due to its unique smell, and not because it just came straight from the manufacturer. The parking is a little tricky because you simply pull in from the road. Fortunately its not a very busy stretch of Route 44. Despite its rustic appearance, this paranoid mom felt perfectly safe going in with just her kiddo with her. The owner was very friendly and answered my nosey questions with candor. Check this place out. Don't drive by. You might enjoy the experience. PS 4 stars not 5 because they really could stand to cycle out some of the merchandise.
FYI - this is NOT a diner, although it INCLUDES a diner. This is a piece of PA Wilds HISTORY!! I’ve been coming here for most of my life, and I always looked forward to the experience! It’s included a number of different products and services over the years, but the Trading Post was always the main attraction for me, and I’m DELIGHTED that the new owners have brought it back from the dead, and are operating it in the same spirit I remember as a kid! Like any good trading post, you’ll find a variety of items from the extremely practical to extraordinarily quirky! Local arts, antiques, hunting and fishing supplies, canned goods, ice cream, souvenirs, and a great place to just sit and relax by the fireplace. It’s just good fun stopping here - I hope I’m able to do so for the next 50 years as well!!
