Guest Reviews
Rebecca was a fantastic host. She was very hospitable and friendly. The room that we stayed in, the Chocolate Room was clean and relaxing. The breakfast was fantastic.

Really great location, drove here from Lancaster, PA after visiting Hershey Park.

This was our first stay since the new owners took over. They have done a great job with renovations and upkeep. Breakfast changes daily. They've added a wine bar with live music on the weekend (we didn't get to experience). Most definitely would stay again.
