details

In 1815, Peter Ege, son of one of the first operators of Pine Grove Furnace, built the Ironmaster's Mansion and inherited what would later become Pine Grove Furnace State Park.

The Ironmaster's Mansion has served as a hostel and prominent halfway resting area for Appalachian Trail hikers and is currently in use as a hostel, meeting space and community resource for conservation education, training and events.

There are two bedrooms -- one for men and one for women -- with dormitory-style sleeping arrangements. Each room has 7 bunk beds. There are ADA-compliant shared restrooms -- one for men and one for women -- on the first floor. Two additional bathrooms are on the second floor. During hiker season (April through October), the entire hostel will be open from 5 pm to 10 pm. Breakfast will be served from 7 to 8 am. Dinner will be served from 5 to 7 pm. Other hours are available by special arrangement. 

In spring 2018, the hostel debuted a private suite that may be booked independently or as part of a larger wedding, meeting or special event being hosted at the Mansion. The upstairs bedroom suite has a fully renovated bathroom, period furnishings, microwave, mini-fridge, and a television.

The hostel is a great venue for Weddings & Receptions, Meetings, Overnight Stays, Group Events, Family Reunions, Church Retreats and Scout Groups. To book your wedding, reunion or party, call 717-486-4018 or email ironmasterspinegrove@gmail.com.

Outside of hiker season, the hostel is available by appointment only.
