These two separate attractions are within minutes of one another and offer the possibility of a romantic bed and breakfast, plus a sleigh ride getaway, in the Poconos. White Haven is within easy driving distance, approximately 157 miles, north of Thurmont. Daisy Field Farm is a year-round equine business and nature preserve, located in the western Poconos. For two generations, the same family has provided horseback riding, hay wagon rides, carriage rides, and sleigh rides to individuals, families, and groups. They will even arrange for a campfire and weenie roast for guests. Reservations must be made for a visit, as it is a private farm. Snow falls in the Poconos from November until March, so a horse-drawn sleigh ride across the fields and forest is a possibility. After that invigorating sleigh ride, consider lodging at The Inn at Hickory Run, a quiet stone and wood beauty, nestled on four acres and perched at 2,200-feet elevation. There are beautiful views from the windows, balconies, and porches of the 9,600 square-foot lodge. Choose from four spacious guest rooms, complete with fireplaces and whirlpool tubs. A hearty breakfast is served in the main dining room on the weekends. During a weekday stay, help yourself to Continental fare, stocked in the kitchen. Prices start at $155 per night with a two-night minimum reservation. Two state parks and three downhill ski resorts are close by for winter fun.
