History
Cascade Lodge was founded by Captain Ernest Ditlew Knuth
and his wife Paula in 1939. As a little boy, Ernest didn't
like his tutor, so he ran away from home. He became a cabin
boy on a sailing vessel. He won the admiration of the captain
of the ship, who sent him to the Danish Nautical Academy.
He became a captain on sailing vessels at a very young age.
Later in life, he achieved his captain's license in the U.S.
Merchant Marines.
In 1926, in the port of Brooklyn, New York, he met a German
immigrant named Paula Uhl, whom he married. His seafaring
days over, together the newlyweds began a restaurant in Brooklyn.
Yearning for the country life, he searched for many years
for a farm. In 1936, they found one, a pre-Revolutionary War
farmhouse among the rolling hills of Bucks County. Because
of the many cascading springs, they named it Cascade Lodge.
The Cascade Lodge became a favorite retreat for celebrities
and families from Philadelphia and New York City.
In the 1960s after many additions to the main house, the
Cascade Lodge Restaurant became one of the finest elegant
dining places of Bucks County. The Restaurant is still owned
and operated by the Knuth family heirs, Howard and Sandra
Knuth.
