Guest Reviews
Such a pleasant and convenient place! We wanted a quick getaway for a change of scenery and the Smithton Inn hit the spot. It’s very close to historic attractions and plentiful shopping. The room was attractive and cozy. The breakfast was excellent and there’s a local wine-tasting room on site. Ken was a delightful and helpful host and we will certainly consider staying there again.

We had an absolutely wonderful stay at the Historic Smithton Inn! Our room was amazing — spotlessly clean, beautifully decorated, and incredibly comfortable. Every morning, we were treated to a delicious breakfast that truly stood out. The fact that everything was made with local ingredients made it even more special — it had such a fresh, unique flavor that we don’t often get back home in the Northeast. Karen...See More

An absolutely beautiful bed and breakfast. I’m astonished by the modern amenities and hospitality of everyone there. Karen is the heart and soul and puts her heart into her work and we wish we could’ve stayed longer! 10/10 all around the food and entertainment and activities were so much fun. An absolute must stay if you are looking into vacationing in the area!

Karen, owner, is a charming hostess and works hard to make your stay enjoyable. Her breakfasts are delicious; she graciously accommodated my vegetarian request each morning. Local wines are sold in the Inn’s wine/pizza bar. The area is rich with history. The Ephrata Cloister walking tour...See More
