The South Mountain Inn

This Inn is nothing short of breath-taking. It looks straight out of a fairy tale. When you first arrive, you pass the most perfectly acclimated donkeys Fierry and Wallace and their chickens who are surprisingly friendly as well. The donkey enclosure’s outside area is large and flat with lush grass, surrounded by Edison bulbed fairy lights. As you pull up to this beautiful building, you see all of the intricacies that have gone into it through the perfect shades of colors they’ve used to compliment the Inn’s story-book-meets-the-real-world architecture. It sits atop a hill, surrounded by mature hydrangeas of colors of a pinkish-red and yellow-green hues with hint of purple. You’ll really enjoy the landscape if your room has a balcony. Ours was large and the wood white. Plies of polished wood a bluish-grey, adorned with two wicker, spring-rocking chairs, a wicker love seat, and of course a metal coffee table, tastefully stained black and bronze. The wedding venue its self is absolutely perfect! I was actually staying for a wedding going on, on someone’s property. The Inn keepers and everyone who works there are not only great at what they do, but they are extremely friendly and knowledgeable about the area. They make you feel like you’re truly at home. The interior is jaw dropping as well. It’s what id refer to as antique-post-modern. It’s beautifully unique and would attract any eye. It feels almost other-worldly when you walk upstairs to find book shelves and other unique amenities hidden throughout this ultimate gem of a stay. The rooms fit the same bill. There’s something special about each of them and they’re all gorgeous. I loved the tiling in the bathrooms. (I stayed in two rooms Sycamore first, then Walnut. I loved both, but you should get Walnut!! The FREE breakfast is amazing! We took some home! Coffee is free at any time in the dining hall. I normally loath pumpkin muffins, but I loved those! I was happy to find they had accommodations for my grandmother who is handicapped. I seat in the shower along with rails and easy walking. Their skin and hair are products were also of great quality! The shower was lovely. I dont know what kind of mattresses they were using either but I intend to find out. Best sleep of my life. I just had a wonderful time. I’d like to thank the owners Matt and Kedri for making me feel like that perfect place I thought only existed in my mind, was my home for those few wonderfully fun days and the chef and the rest of the staff for the rest. You guys are the best! I’ll never say anywhere else when I’m in PA.
