Discover Pennsylvania’s Best Bed and Breakfast Inns

Ah, Pennsylvania: What a historic and beautiful place to visit in the springtime! As to where to stay? Well, here are some prime Bed and Breakfasts locations that you must check out!

FEATURED PENNSYLVANIA INN
The Chatelaine Bed & Breakfast located in Pine Grove Mills, is a “vintage farmhouse on the 1791 homestead purchased by Thomas Ferguson, founder of the village of Pine Grove Mills. Like the story of the village itself, the 1841 house is "....beautifully plain and blessedly simple...." But it is framed and furnished to create a softer ambience "....built layer by layer from the life's work, dreams, and (even) disappointments....of a people making and keeping a place called home." On your arrival, a welcoming signpost greets you from a border of 90 year-old perennials, proclaiming that you are safely home.”
