The town has preserved and restored its historical roots and offers many fantastic shops, museums, and dining options to enhance your overall experience. Beaver Run is a full service resort featuring the best amenities, including two heated pools, seven hot tubs, steam room & sauna, workout room, and relaxing spa. Beaver Run offers great dining options: Spencer’s Steak and Spirits, Base 9 Lounge and the Skywalk Market - open year round - and the Coppertop Bar and Café - open during winter season.
