We are Trip Advisor devotees and my partner found Smithton for a long (and much needed) weekend getaway surprise. Plan on sleeping more than usual because the bedding is so awesome we ordered two sets! Breakfasts are huge and set us up to spend the whole day out and about before we even thought about eating again. Entire staff, especially... More

Our time at the Smithton Inn was the highlight of our trip to Pennsylvania. From the homey rockers on the front porch to the fresh baked cookies at check-in, this Inn invites visitors to feel like family. The beds are extremely comfortable with the softest sheets I have ever experienced (I am ordering some!). I posted pictures of breakfast on... More

As I travel to Ephrata quite frequently for business, The Smithton Inn has become my home away from home. Inn Keepers Rebecca and David truly know how to make a guest feel welcome. As I stay quite often, I think I might have been adopted by the family. The rooms are well appointed, beds are very comfortable, DVD library is... More

Wonderful, wonderful, wonderful breakfasts and hosts. We had not stayed there in more than ten years, but glad we returned. There was a little floor noise from the people above us 9we were on the main floor), but to be expected in such an historically old home. We will return. More

My wife and I wanted to do something different than the usual hotel/motel at the shore. I'm not one for small homey settings but I did want a stay with certain amenities, such as a fireplace, whirlpool, king sized bed and my web searching pointed to the Historic Smithton Inn (and it's Crimson Dove Suite) as the best bet, there...

Luis & Elizabeth, Wow! If I'm ever EVER having a bad day, I'm going to come back and read this review!! It was so wonderful having you guys as our guests, and I'm glad your first B&B stay was a good one. We do our best to give our guests as much, or as little, space as they'd like... I'm... More

We just left the Smithton Inn and we loved it. Very relaxing. Our hostess was there to greet us when we got there. Showed us the house and our room was beautiful. We stayed in the Crimson Dove Room. It was spacious and comfortable. The bathroom has a jacuzzi size tub which was so nice to use after a day... More

We were searching ideas for a mini-vacation not far from home and came upon a wine and cheese tour offered by Lancaster County Tours. This website hs several different tours to choose from which are the result of a creative collaboration of the innkeepers at 3 local inns. From the Lancaster County Tours website, we were able to link to... More

Rebecca and Dave (and Lucky) are gracious and friendly hosts. They make you feel very much at home. The accomodations are wonderful, the linens most luxurious and the breakfasts delicious! Besides a buffet of homemade breads and granola, you will be treated to a deluxe and hearty hot entree each morning. They pay attention to details. Snacks and water are... More

My husband and I stayed for 2 nights and had a fabulous time. The Inn is so warm and cozy and the Innkeepers are amazing. They were so friendly and welcoming. It is clear that they truly love what they do and strive to make sure everyone is happy and comfortable. Rebecca had great recommendations for breweries, wineries and restaurants.... More

A group of us stayed one night. The rooms are large and each has a fireplace. Rebecca made a great breakfast for us. Tip: pay attention when Dave explains the damper on the fireplace. I didn`t, and the fire alarm is very loud (and embarrassing). More
