     Back to Top

    fall sceneThe Inn at Hickory Run was designed and built by the owners, David and Nancy Pfeil, both engineering graduates of Lehigh University. After developing three successful software companies, the Pfeils - goal is now to build and operate a facility which provides a retreat for busy executives and their spouses to relax and enjoy the many outdoor activities in the Poconos and surrounding state parks.

    The project, started in 2002, was completed in August 2005. The 9600 square foot facility is designed to be the state-of-the-art in environmentally friendly systems and home automation capabilities, while providing comfortable country accommodations. Heating and air conditioning are provided by geothermal furnaces. All lighting and electrical appliances are controlled via computer automated systems. The entire facility supports wired and wireless internet access, and all activities available in the region have been computerized for quick and easy access.

    Even though the underlying construction and systems are state-of-the-art, the Inn’s interior has been designed with a rustic, relaxed country atmosphere. Your stay is designed to let you do as much or as little as you desire. Activity-filled days complemented by quiet star-filled nights are best enjoyed by our waterfall in summer or a cozy fireplace in winter.
