Historic Smithton Inn

My husband and I stayed at the Smithton Inn to celebrate our birthdays in February, booking the Smithton Gables Retreat, and it did not disappoint. The retreat felt like home, boasting a spacious living area, a stunning floor-to-ceiling stone fireplace in the bedroom and a lovely ensuite bathroom-all filled with natural light.

My husband and I stayed at the Smithton Inn to celebrate our birthdays in February, booking the Smithton Gables Retreat, and it did not disappoint. The retreat felt like home, boasting a spacious living area, a stunning floor-to-ceiling stone fireplace in the bedroom and a lovely ensuite bathroom-all filled with natural light. The Inn was quaint, and the wine bar was such a nice touch. Although we experienced a small hiccup during our stay, the owner Karen Franzone was gracious enough to rectify the situation in the end. We'd love to come back, preferably when it's a bit warmer.

I stayed at the Historic Smithton Inn while traveling for business and couldn’t have asked for a better place to stay. I was in the Chocolate Room, which was comfortable, quiet, and beautifully maintained. Every room has its own fireplace, which was a really nice touch and added to the overall charm. The entire inn is beautiful and full of history, you really feel the character of the place...See More

The entire inn is beautiful and full of history, you really feel the character of the place as soon as you arrive. Breakfast was amazing and definitely a highlight of the stay. Karen, the owner, was wonderful and made me feel welcome from the moment I checked in. If you’re visiting Lancaster County for business or leisure, I would absolutely recommend staying here and look forward to staying again!

We arrived for an anniversary trip. We'd booked the Sage Room which was downstairs and very private. It is next to the garden, but in the dead of winter with snow, very secluded and romantic. Karen the innkeeper was wonderful and her breakfasts were great. Ashley, the bartender was amazing and I got the blessing of spending a quiet Friday evening with her - cold and snow.

The wine bar is nice and you can get a flight of 5 wines for $10.

We had an absolutely incredible stay at Historic Smithton Inn for two nights over New Year’s Eve, and it exceeded every expectation. This was my wife and I’s very first time staying at a bed and breakfast, and we could not have picked a better place. We stayed in The Loft, and it was fantastic. Comfortable bed, beautiful skylights, electric fireplace, Roku TV, strong WiFi, and a great bathroom....See More

We had an absolutely incredible stay at Historic Smithton Inn for two nights over New Year’s Eve, and it exceeded every expectation. This was my wife and I’s very first time staying at a bed and breakfast, and we could not have picked a better place. We stayed in The Loft, and it was fantastic. Comfortable bed, beautiful skylights, electric fireplace, Roku TV, strong WiFi, and a great bathroom. It was cozy, private, and thoughtfully designed while still keeping the historic charm of the inn. Karen was truly an AMAZING host. From the moment we arrived, she made us feel welcomed and taken care of. She recommended a local Italian restaurant, Osteria Avanti, where we had an outstanding dinner our first night. Breakfast both mornings was phenomenal. Karen uses fresh, local ingredients, and you can genuinely taste the care and quality in every dish. It really gives you a true taste of the area. This New Year’s, my wife and I wanted to slow down and spend intentional, quality time together, and choosing the Historic Smithton Inn was the perfect decision. We absolutely loved our room, and the rest of the inn was just as impressive. The entire place has so much character that we’re already excited to come back and experience more of it. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a relaxing, memorable, and beautifully hosted getaway.

Karen was a wonderful host and her inn is lovely. We felt right at home. We loved the romantic atmosphere and comforts the room had to offer. The inn is the perfect mix of beautiful historic charm and modern amenities. I must mention the breakfast was delightful and delicious. We will definitely be staying here again in the near future.
