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

This is a nice B&B type inn in Ephrata, PA. Very clean, and they have a room (more like an annex with living room, porch and kitchen) that is dog friendly. 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...

We've been going to the Smithton Inn every year since 2008 and absolutely love it. The Crimson Dove Suite is just gorgeous - with a fireplace, jacuzzi, canopy bed - it doesn't get more romantic than that! Dave and Rebecca are wonderful hosts, and the food is fantastic - home-cooked from scratch, fresh-baked breads, homemade yogurt... delicious. There are so... More

Even before we arrived in Ephrata we knew we were going to have a great experience at the Smithton Inn. We had a conflict come up after we booked our trip, and Rebecca was very accommodating in helping us reschedule. We also did an early check-in and it was no problem. The sweet dog greeted us upon check-in and we... More

This was our first stay at the Historic Smithton Inn and at any B&B in the Lancaster County area. We researched many other B&Bs in the county before booking at the Smithton and we were very happy with our decision. Rebecca and Dave were fabulous hosts and the inn itself is a very welcoming and has a unique history. Everything... More

The Historic Smithton Inn is like a home away from home. The Inn keepers Dave and Rebecca are incredibly kind and friendly people. We have stayed at the Smithton twice in the past and plan to return many times in the future. The breakfasts that Rebecca prepares are out of this world. Having a fireplace in your room is just...

This was our first B&B. We absolutely loved it. The Inn was warm & inviting as soon as we walked in the door. Our room was plenty big and very clean.

I highly recommend the Historic Smithton Inn. I did not want to leave because it exudes warmth, charm and is very clean. Not to mention, the breakfasts are absolutely amazing. She makes meals from scratch and they are unique at that. During my stay, she made homemade smoked salmon and goat cheese strata ~ so delicious!
