The Historic Smithton Inn is absolutely wonderful and will NOT disappoint!! It is beautifully decorated, extremely comfortable, owned and operated by an adorably sweet, efficient and helpful couple and the breakfasts are out-of-this-world! The Gallagher's go that extra mile to make for certain your every need is conveniently met, above and beyond what is considered the "norm". It is located... More

We attended my nephew's HS graduation and we wanted to stay somewhere unique where we could bring our dog along. Rebecca and crew were wonderful hosts as we moved through a hectic weekend. We stayed in the Tailor's cottage and it was fabulous. It had a ton of room for the family to hang out and the dog to stay... More

A wonderful old inn, the building is authentic and wonderful with modern amenities. In room amenities far exceed anything you'd find in a hotel, but if you did, you'd pay dearly for them. There is clearly pride of ownership, rooms are tastefully decorated and well maintained, breakfasts are outstanding and the owners are lovely people. Owners offered great suggestions for... More

After 23 years together, this was my husband and my first get away. We were NOT disappointed! The building and the room was beautiful, the food was spectacular, our hosts were friendly, helpful and very warm and welcoming. Rebecca had a lot of advice and information about local activities and attractions. So many reviews focus on the comfortable bedding and... More

My husband and I recently stayed at the Smithton Inn in Ephrata, Pennsylvania. It was amazing! The Inn dates back to 1763, and is tastefully filled with antiques and Pennsylvania Dutch artwork. We stayed in Crimson Dove Suite. It was very spacious with a four-poster canopy bed, fireplace, sofa, desk, flat-screen tv, and Jacuzzi tub! The breakfast was wonderful, and... More

Definitely a very clean, well kept B&B that has great old world history, but all the modern conveniences. Rooms were great as were our hosts, Rebecca and Dave. You can even pick DVD's to watch (for free) from a nice collection. Definitely a nice romantic getaway. As for breakfasts, better bring your "bigger pants" because Rebecca sure can cook and... More

Wife and I got away from the kids for a weekend and decided to stay at the Historic Smithton Inn. We had toured the facility recently during a charity fund raiser and decided to give it a go. It was a lovely experience. The Inn exudes old charm and is complimented by modern amenities. We stayed in the Chocolate Room.... More

They have a lovely yard for sitting, reading, enjoying. The breakfast they serve is wonderful. They are very helpful with information about attractions and directions. It is on outskirts... More

We had a wonderful weekend getaway in PA when we stayed at the Smithton with Rebecca and Dave - It was more like visiting family than staying "at an inn" - we enjoyed meeting Luckydog and having wonderful chats with our hosts - delicious breakfasts, an absolutely delightful room with the softest sheets and bedding and all the amenities imaginable...
