Great place to getaway and still close enough for city activities

We originally moved to the area once our sons struck out on their own so we could be closer to our jobs, mine with Johnson&Johnson and my husband at a smaller company in Easton PA. Now we are both self-employed and really enjoy introducing our guests to the simple charms of our peaceful surroundings, which is mostly preserved farmland with lakes, rivers, campgrounds, state and county parks close by. We've traveled all around the world and seen some incredible places, but when we come home, we have to admit that where we live is one of the most beautiful of all.

We were drawn to the area because of its natural charm, quiet roads, close proximity to lakes and rivers. We wanted a larger plot of land to do a little gardening, have plenty of room for our dogs and a little slower pace of life. We love it here.

We chose this place because of it being ideally situated between several preserved farmland parcels. Our acreage offers considerable privacy with no neighbor in line of sight. The air is fresh and roads quiet at night. Neighbors will wave and stop to say hello on their evening walks, but are never prying or unpleasant. We have two koi ponds on the property and mature shrubs and trees, oak, weeping willows, evergreens and maples. It is a peaceful, pleasant place to walk, hike and cycle, where nature, wildlife and people mutually exist in harmony.
