Village of Four Seasons, Pennsylvania

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Village of the Four Seasons is a private resort community found in Susquehanna County, Pennsylvania located at the base of Elk Mountain Ski Resort. It is a secluded vacation getaway for those in the metropolitan Philadelphia and New York areas. All one hundred plus homes contained within the Village must meet strict Bavarian-style architecture guidelines, making it seem like you are in the mountains of Switzerland.

[edit] Amenities

The resort contains a large community boardwalk, multiple tennis courts, basketball courts, playgrounds, roller-hockey courts, swimming pools, and a large recreational lake for fishing and boating. There is easy access to Elk Mountain for skiing and there are several golf courses nearby. The first wind surfing board was tested on its lake in the 60s.

[edit] History

The resort was founded in 1961 by Pennsylvania businessman and entrepreneur Ralph Lomma. Lomma had also developed Elk Mountain into a Ski Resort and kept the Village property after divesting himself of his interest in the mountain. Lomma sold the Village to its Association in the early 80s.
