The Details

Looking for an exciting business venture? Look no further! Nestled in the heart of New Lancaster Valley, PA, near Reeds Gap State Park, is the historic New Lancaster Valley Wilderness Lodge. Established in the 1930s and once a CCC mess hall during WWII, this unique property was revitalized in 2016 by the current owner, transforming it into the hottest destination in the Valley! This sale includes everything: the property, buildings, thriving business, liquor license, and a fully equipped restaurant. Much of the kitchen equipment was purchased new in 2017. The lodge features a family-friendly dining room, event space, bar, and outdoor patio seating. Guests love the award-winning wings, smoked ribs, stocked bar, and 20 beers on tap. With plenty of room to grow, the basement offers potential for an additional dining area or bar and retains its original tables, chairs, and nostalgic touches. The property spans 2.37 acres of peaceful woodland and includes a cozy cabin that rents for $375/month, covering water, sewer, and trash. Why sell? The owner is seeking more time for family and friends and is eager to pass the torch to a passionate new owner who can continue to keep this Valley staple thriving. There’s also an option to purchase the building alone under different terms. Stop by during regular business hours for great food, drinks, and friendly company!
