Resort Overview EXPECT THE UNEXPECTED. Welcome to Nemacolin Woodlands Resort, nestled in the scenic Laurel Highlands of Southwestern Pennsylvania – where we’ve taken the luxury vacation experience to unparalleled levels. The Hardy family’s journey began in 1987 with the purchase of the Nemacolin Resort property. It began with a vision: to create a world-class resort unlike any other; to create a getaway designed for couples, family and corporate gatherings – a “something for everyone” destination. Many years later, we’re proud to offer several lodging options ranging from the luxurious Forbes Five-Star and AAA Five-Diamond Falling Rock to the comfort of the Maggie Valley RV Park. We’re equally proud of the activities that abound. Our vision, our dream, has been realized. And, we strive each day to bring something new – something fresh – to the experience. These pages provide information that will make your stay with us more enjoyable. Please refer to them for assistance with dining reservations, recreational activities, or any other of the resort’s amenities. And, if there is anything we can do to be of additional service, please ask. We look forward to sharing a memorable visit with you.

The trailblazer was a native Lenae Lenape Indian Chief named Nemacolin. Assisted by frontiersman, Thomas Cresap, Chief Nemacolin plotted what is still considered to be the most direct route from East to West. Nemacolin’s trail was later widened and used by Colonel George Washington and General Edward Braddock during the French and Indian War. Fort Necessity was constructed near the trail and remains a nationally renowned point of interest today. In the mid-1800s, Congress established the first National “Highway” utilizing Nemacolin’s trail and extended it westward. Until the railroads became prevalent some fifty years later, this highway was the major means of East to West transportation. Today, this highway is known as U.S. Route 40. During the 19th century, the Laurel Highlands became a popular and fashionable retreat for wealthy Pittsburgh industrialists and merchants. Attracted to the natural beauty of the mountains, they built vacation homes throughout the area. The Kaufmann family, founders of the Pittsburgh department store, built the area’s most popular home, Fallingwater, in the 1930s. Fallingwater, Frank Lloyd Wright’s masterpiece, remains an outstanding example of Wright’s genius and talent. In 1968, Rockwell International decided to construct a Tudor-style lodge along Route 40 to accommodate their vacationing business associates and friends. Architect C. W. Balling of nearby Fairchance, Pennsylvania, designed the building for Willard Rockwell, his former college roommate. The original structure, with ten guest rooms, quickly proved to be insufficient. Twenty-three additional rooms were added and decorated by Mrs. Rockwell. The property, then known as Nemacolin Trails Hunting Reserve, was stocked with a variety of game birds and various breeds of imported and native deer. Weekend hunting retreats were arranged for Mr. Rockwell’s business colleagues. A trap shooting area and quail walk completed the hunting reserve. 4 Since guests came to hunt primarily in the spring and fall, a golf course and tennis courts were added for summer recreation. Lake Louise and Lake Carol were built at the same time in honor of Mr. Rockwell’s daughter and daughter-in-law. For convenience, an airstrip was added. Off-property, Beaver Creek was being developed into the excellent trout stream it remains today. Mr. Rockwell sold the property in 1979 to Cordelia Mellon Scaife. Ms. Scaife operated the Inn as a private conference center for two years, then closed it in 1981. In 1982, Ms. Scaife sold the Inn to Kent Rockwell, Willard Rockwell’s son. Kent opened the Inn to the public as a conference center. He added an outdoor swimming pool, the first restaurant, called Golden Trout, and the Maples condominiums. After a financial reversal, the bank took possession of the property in 1986. The Inn remained closed until 1987, when it was placed on the auction block. Nemacolin was sold at auction to Joseph A. Hardy III, the founder of 84 Lumber. From the date of purchase to present day, Mr. Hardy and his daughter Maggie have been, and continue to be, committed to evolving the property into a world-class destination. 5 ACCOMMODATIONS FALLING ROCK Boasting both Forbes Five-Star and AAA Five-Diamond awards, Falling Rock is unsurpassed among the luxury accommodations at Nemacolin Woodlands Resort.

Hardy III, founder of 84 Lumber, the Lodge has evolved from a 33-room vacation home to an elegant 97-room lodging and conference center.

The resort features two distinctly unique courses: Mystic Rock and The Links. Both provide a challenge; both offer spectacular scenery and layout. Enjoy! MYSTIC ROCK Golf lover? A round on the PGA tour-tested Mystic Rock is a must. Having challenged some of the best players in the world – John Daly,Vijay Singh, Tiger Woods, Phil Mickelson – “The Rock” stands ready to do battle. Designed by the legendary Pete Dye, Mystic Rock plays 7,550 yards from the tips. On any given hole, players will likely encounter Dye’s strategically placed bunkers, boulders and water hazards. A par-72 course layout, with a 77 rating and a 149 slope from the championship tees – “The Rock” has garnered top honors from Golf Magazine and Golf Digest. Even better, golfers can play from one of several tees on each hole. A great way to test your ability, while playing to a suitable length. 12 THE LINKS The Links is Nemacolin Woodlands’ original golf course and provides a stark contrast to Mystic Rock. A tricky par-70, The Links’ small, undulating greens are set against the picturesque mountain setting of the Laurel Highlands. At 6,658 yards from the tips, reaching most of the holes is not a problem…but that’s where the fun begins. Putting these problematic greens can give even the most accomplished player fits! The Links provides a firstrate golfing experience that is sculpted through the Laurel Highlands where rocks and water naturally come into play on several holes. Deep woods, high rough and lakes surround the beautiful fairways with majestic views of the Alleghenies. THE NEMACOLIN GOLF ACADEMY Golf is about consistency and the TrackMan™ Golf Radar Solution provides our professional instructors with a state-of-the-art diagnostic tool that will measure everything in your swing as well as everything about the flight of your golf ball.

And all you have to do is hit balls and leave the rest to us! Did you know that you can actually gain an additional 20 to 25 years with the same club head speed? It’s true!

A short drive from all points in the Mid-Atlantic and Northeast regions, Nemacolin plays host to many Fortune 500 companies. The resort provides ample space, all inclusive meeting pricing, and a professional staff to help pull it all together. Groups can take advantage of the resort’s Executive Conference Center – conveniently located in Nemacolin’s Tudor-style Lodge, and easily accessible from the adjacent 124-room French Renaissance Chateau Lafayette. The center offers 25 meeting rooms, an exhibit area, a business center, and two ballrooms – both of which can be divided to accommodate any party size. And, a 200-seat lecture hall is the perfect site for educational presentations and training seminars. Additionally, the Executive Conference Center houses six Nemacolin Rooms, six Sequoia Rooms, the Hardy Boardroom, Joseph’s and the Club Room – each designed to provide a customized experience. Those seeking the utmost in luxury and group accommodations are invited to experience Falling Rock, a Forbes Five-Star and AAA FiveDiamond Award recipient. A 42-room boutique setting, Falling Rock caters to the corporate community with the hotel’s intimate Malachite serving as an executive “boardroom away from the boardroom.” A few steps away, guests will find the grand Horizon Point Conference Center, a 17,200-square-foot meeting and social venue designed with the same Frank Lloyd Wright-inspired décor of Falling Rock. To break up a day of meetings, guests are encouraged to participate in the resort’s team building programs. Perhaps a competitive round of 32 Survivor? A trip through the ropes course? Each activity helps foster teamwork. Each “event” brings creativity and enthusiasm to the most serious of corporate outings. And, after the meetings adjourn for the day? All resort amenities are available to group guests. Why not a round of golf on the PGA Tourtested Mystic Rock? A dip in the pool? A treatment in the resort’s award-winning Woodlands Spa? Sporting clays? Jeep® off-road driving? Fly fishing? One can only imagine the possibilities.
