Insider is taking you inside Nemacolin, the Pennsylvania resort where Matt James' season of "The Bachelor" was filmed.
The resort sits on 2,200 acres of land in Farmington, Pennsylvania, which you can tour with the property's personal dog-sled team.
The owners' $45 million art collection is on display throughout the resort, which also features an infinity pool, spa, and holistic center.
Jeep off-roading, cross-country skiing, snow tubing, fly fishing, and horseback riding are just some of the activities on offer.
Nemacolin made headlines this week after CEO Maggie Hardy told Page Six that a used condom was found in a tree while "The Bachelor" was filming.

The ongoing pandemic forced "The Bachelor" to do away with their usual extravagant dates that took contestants all around the world, from the turquoise seas of Greece to the Australian outback. Instead, as with the most recent season of "The Bachelorette," filming had to be confined to just one location.

But ABC managed to find a glamorous alternative by filming Matt James' season at the Nemacolin resort in Farmington, Pennsylvania.

The resort - which is currently open for reservations - has already made headlines this week after Nemacolin CEO Maggie Hardy told Page Six's Tashara Jones that a used condom was found in a tree while "The Bachelor" was filming.

Insider spoke to Nemacolin's property team to give you an inside look at the majestic estate, which spans over 2,000 acres and offers everything from Jeep off-roading and cross-country skiing to a holistic healing center and tours by its own dog-sled team.

"Bachelor" contestants usually have to room together, so they likely stayed in Falling Rock's double rooms.
