    Overall: The BnB is nice. It's got character and charm. The rooms are big especially for the pricing and the staff seems very nice. There are some renovations going on and most things could use a fresh cost of paint all and all but my partner and I were able to have a very relaxing getaway here. Breakfast Food: It's from 7:30 am to 9:30 am and it's buffet style breakfast eating. There is usually fresh fruit, juices, cereal, Bread, bagles, muffins, a waffle maker with already made batter, and sometimes eggs and French toast. It was all good and satisfying for a breakfast. The Room: We had the Country Club Suite. The suite has a bedroom with a hottub and a small smart tv in it. There is a lounge room with desk, couch mini fridge and microwave. Last there is a bathroom with a standing shower, sink, hanging rack and toilet. The towels are nice towels and everything is well stocked overall. There is some wear and tear to the room for sure that should be addressed at some point. The bed could be squeaky at time or hit the wall making loud thumps. If there is someone staying above you, you can hear them moving around but no voices or any other sounds. The House: The parking isn't great as you can't tell we're to park on the property without seeing another car parked. The lighting outside isn't great and it was clear which door lead inside for picking up keys. However the property is pretty overall and I can imagine it looks amazing in Spring, Summer and Fall or on a snowy winter day.

    This place needs renovation to the 3rd degree. It looks haunted. The upkeep is missing. The breakfast was a joke. They need too take down the pictures on their website. It is deceiving. I must say Brittney was excellent but that's about it. I was really scared there. I tried to cancel but felt sorry for the owner when speaking to him. Then I took it upon myself to look up this place. It is considered haunted

    Beautiful view from the sunroom

    A quick overnight getaway with the hubby at Elk Forge Bed & Breakfast was just what we needed. The room was quaint with a beautiful four poster bed and private bathroom. Breakfast was ok but eating it in such a beautiful sunroom made it great! The grounds are gorgeous with a beautiful garden and pond. We will definitely be back to try one of the larger suites and the weekend brunch!

    This is a charming little place for a short getaway. They have a small tea and gift shop as soon as you enter. There was a table with envelopes on it also as you entered. We found our name on the envelope and the name of the room we were staying in. The keys were inside. The room was quaint. Shower and Jacuzzi tub in the room. The bed was super comfy. Breakfast between 7:30a - 9:30a. Waffles, breads, granola and yogurt, fresh fruit, eggs, fresh juices and coffee. The atrium has tables to eat at and look over the grounds. Staff very nice. Christiana is about 19 miles away with a lot of restaurants and things to do. We really enjoyed ourselves.

    Awesome get away spot! Charming house from the 1700s with antiques and gracious hosts. Delicious breakfast, comfy beds, just a great stay all around. We explored Newark, went on hikes and visited Longwood gardens. The owners try to be as green as possible, mom and pop owned (support local business!), next to trails and close to restaurants and a ton of other activities! People also come here for weddings, baby showers, bridal showers and Tea time. We will be coming back!

    This place unreal it takes you back to the colonial times. It's very quiet and clean. If you want to relax for a couple of days this is the place

    Me and my fiance got a groupon deal to come here. When we arrived, there was nobody at front desk to help with check in. The keys to your room were left on table in an envelope. We stayed in the fairhill room and it was smaller than we expected but at least it came with a whirlpool in the room. We felt the bed was uncomfortable because it was definitely not a queen size bed more like a full size mattress on a queen size bed frame. The breakfast to this place was pretty nice. On the first day we had turkey bacon with some eggs. Yogurt with some granola and waffles by pour batter in the waffle maker yourself. Pretty cool and fresh waffles. On day two we had some omelette, fruits and waffles. The bed and breakfast have 2 nature trails which I think is poorly maintained and no signs marked saying it is a nature trail. We just saw a road so we just went and explore. Nothing much to see at this time, no flowers and trees didn't have leaves on it. But on one of the trail it did come across a river. On day of check out, there was nobody there to take the keys so we just followed instructions to leave the key on the desk

    Valley Forge Suite, in basement

    My wife and I stayed here for two nights in Valley Forge Suite (in the basement). First night, the room was freezing cold because of the AC and there's no thermostat in the room. Second night, it was HOT! I guess some people must have complained. The innkeeper must have adjusted the AC from one extreme to the other. It was raining on the second night and as a result it caused a lamp outside the building to make a loud buzzing sound (according to the innkeeper, this happens every time when it rains, seems to me they would try to fix this before a electrical fire!). We could hear the buzzing night all night long while we tried to sleep, I was still up at 3am because of the sound! The breakfast was nothing amazing, basically fruits, waffle, and quiche. The picture of the food, nature trail, and golf that some people have posted are misleading. The food pics are from a wedding, therefore it's not what you are going to get when you stay here. The "nature" trail is 1/5 of a mile, basically the backyard of the B&B and they made a few trails with a lawn mower. There's a small putting green as far as golf goes. I've posted pictures of breakfast and our suite.

    (06/01/2013) We attended a wedding there, the place is set up nicely for a small to moderate sized wedding. The wedding basically rented out the entire place for the weekend. The arbor and small garden are a natural and idyllic setting; the Carriage House was a convenient set up and crash spot for the bridal party; the Sugar House for the reception was right there and the Inn for guests just down the drive. It's pretty much ideal if you want to have a compound just for you and your close friends and family for a special event. The Inn itself was quaint, kind of tacky, chock full of stuff, eclectic and interesting period pieces. The Carriage House was modern with a few antiques, central A/C a bonus in June. Staff was, while not exactly professional, friendly, kind of like staying at your cousin's house whom you've never met, but your moms said it was OK. We thought the atmosphere was friendly and accommodating. They do their own catering on-site for events. It's average, not bad, not spectacular, but the whole package (location, setting, amenities) might make it worthwhile for you.

    Nice B&B only 15 minutes from North East, Maryland. The rooms are beautiful and has a nice breakfast with some homemade foods. If you want to experience something better than you basic hotel, this is it!

    Why can I really enjoyed staying here. We were driving from Rhode Island to North Carolina to visit…read morerelatives and stopped for a few hours to get some sleep. It was lovely and very clean and well-kept. The service was excellent and parking was easy. I really like the room for the few hours that we stayed there but breakfast was the highlight. We went down to breakfast and found all kinds of good hot food that we could choose from. The breakfast buffet line was socially distanced and the hotel was very careful throughout to keep people apart and safe. Make made pancakes for us using the pancake machine which we had not seen before. It was really fun and the restaurant was very very nice. Definitely a great place to stay.

    Staff is super friendly. Easy check in. Asked for a room…read moreaway from elevator so we wouldn't hear the foot traffic. Instead we have 3-4 ROOMS of people partying. Constant flow of people coming in and out of rooms and very loud. Confronted them and they denied it was them. ??!?Asked the front desk for support and they are trying to help but these people don't care. They are awful humans with no respect for others. This place is clearly used as a party hotel and there is no security so ....I wish I had known before booking. Nothing worse than being around a bunch of people drinking when you are not. The room is missing a coffee maker, one phone was unplugged, the floors, headboards, mirrors....everything is not clean. Sheets are clean....as far as I can tell.
