Incredible stay! My husband and I were looking for a couple day get away and we’d often talked about Tara and decided to book it. I’m so glad we did!

The staff were all fantastic and went above and beyond to make us feel welcome and comfortable. Our room was beautiful and cozy and dinner at Stonewall Tavern was incredible with top notch service. It’s a perfect place to just relax unwind and spend some time. Definitely recommend!

We went on a bus trip to Tara-did not stay the night. We toured Tara which is beautiful and the guide was very animated, knowledgeable and delightful. However, we were very disappointed in the food served to us. Nothing was very warm, the server acted like we were bothering her when asked for something or asked a question. I would not recommend for another bus group to eat there....See More

I would not recommend for another bus group to eat there. Perhaps if you eat in one of the main dining rooms the food would be better.

We had a very pleasant dinner outside at Tara. Even though they had a wedding going on, William, the manager was willing to accommodate our request to eat in their inviting patio near the entrance.
Our server, Leslie, was first rate—- very accommodating and knowledgeable without being cloying.

Our server, Leslie, was first rate—- very accommodating and knowledgeable without being cloying.
The food also was good. My wive had the salmon and I had the special which was a skillet steak with three nice sized shrimp. Definitely worth the drive from Pittsburgh.
My only complaint, which I am not sure they can do anything about, is very loud road noise from trucks and motorcycles at nearby highway.

We had such an amazing experience at the Tara Inn. It was like stepping back in time. The staff was lovely (especially our hostess Betsy from the restaurant). The rooms were each so unique-we stayed in the Katie O'Hara. Your package includes a sweet, little welcome basket including champagne.

We had such an amazing experience at the Tara Inn. It was like stepping back in time. The staff was lovely (especially our hostess Betsy from the restaurant). The rooms were each so unique-we stayed in the Katie O'Hara. Your package includes a sweet, little welcome basket including champagne. We lived our room- it was a bit warm at night for us, but we were able to get it closer to 70 before bed. The grounds were kept so nicely. We walked laps on the beautiful brick walkway around the property several times a day. The outdoor pool is a private, salt water pool with plenty of lounging chairs to give it a resort feel. Breakfast is included in the package, and guests have the option to stay in the room or go down to the dining hall. Tea, coffee, mini sandwiches, and desserts are served from 4 to 5 as lunch is not available on property. Overall, it was a fabulous experience, and we'll definitely be back.

I spent the weekend in your Victorian Room. What a wonderful experience.
The service from the front desk staff was top notch. I wish I would have thought to ask for turn down service. I assumed it came with our weekend stay.
However, the property was a delight. There is plenty to do. Restaurant staff was friendly and accommodating.

My wife and I used your Billiards room and it was a delight. Terry the bartender was amazing. He served "mood changing" drinks that made my night on our final night there wonderful.
We also made quite a few friends from other guests there.
Thank you for a 5 star experience. We needed it.
We will definitely return.
