When Philadelphia Magazine named Billy Welsby the 2025 Travel Influencer of the Year, it celebrated a storyteller who finds magic in the everyday adventure close to home. Known for highlighting the best Pennsylvania travel destinations, Billy brings a genuine love for local exploration, so when he decided to head for the rolling peaks and forested trails of the Laurel Highlands, his followers were eager to see what new locations he’d uncover.
GO Laurel Highlands, a sponsor of the influencer awards since 2023, connected with Billy and set him up with an amazing itinerary full of activities, food, and adventure, including his overnight accommodations at Muchnok Ridge.
Muchnok Ridge was the perfect place to slow down after his busy days out and about in the Laurel Highlands. While at Muchnok Ridge, Billy explored the property’s private hiking trails and enjoyed some of the games in the cabin’s loft area. The Mountain View Cabin offered all the comforts of modern living—spacious layouts, cozy fireplaces, and elegant finishes—yet the greatest luxury was the setting itself: peaceful, private, and profoundly grounding.
On the visit, Billy ventured out to many of the nearby local attractions, including Seven Springs Mountain Resort and Ohiopyle State Park. By the time evening fell, the day’s adventures gave way to starlit moments by the firepit and long soaks in the outdoor hot tub back at Muchnok Ridge.
Billy’s visit reminded everyone that Pennsylvania holds world-class beauty right in its backyard. The Laurel Highlands aren’t just a place to visit—they’re a place to reconnect with what matters most. And for us at Muchnok Ridge, it was an honor to be part of that story.
And for those planning weddings, family gatherings, or group getaways, Muchnok Ridge offers that rare blend of luxury and wilderness that turns a simple stay into something memorable.
If you’re reading this thinking: “Maybe I don’t need to fly anywhere to feel truly away” — then come stay with us at Muchnok Ridge!
