In the farthest reaches encompassing the vast and scenic landscapes within Nemacolin resort, an impressive bronze sculpture of a fit and chiseled Chief Nemacolin overlooks Mystic Rock golf course’s 15th hole.

Everything at this southwestern Pennsylvania haven is beyond imagination, yet owner and CEO Maggie Hardy, along with her son PJ Magerko Liquorice and staff members, have spent years re-imagining almost every aspect of this unparalleled resort in Farmington, about 70 miles southeast of Pittsburgh.

Hardy III, fell in love with the area nestled in the heart of the Laurel Highlands and fashioned its beginnings in 1987, mainly to introduce Maggie to the wonders of nature.
