Wow! After meeting Rosalie and getting the tour I was certain I never wanted to leave! I've been to a handful of B&B's and the Annville Inn is the BEST and Rosalie and Craig are just absolutely wonderful. Beautiful rooms, gorgeous gardens on the large property, wonderful pool and hot tub, and Rosalie's breakfasts..... PERFECT! Can't wait to book our next visit.

With a wealth of beautifully appointed rooms for meeting, entertainment and leisure, Annville Inn was the perfect location for our small business retreat. A gracious host, Rosalie met our every need elegantly and discretely. Partnering with a remarkable caterer for this 3 day event left us exceptionally well fed and longing to stay on further. Coming from the UK I am often impressed by US hospitality, but the service and quality here is untouched by anywhere else I have ever been. I look forward to returning next year...

We have stayed at the Annville Inn over the years and every stay has been so satisfying. Breakfast is amazing. Your host's Rosalie and Craig are friendly, welcoming, wonderful people. The beds are so comfortable. The pool feels so great in the summer and the hot tub is great over Valentine's Day. The movie theatre is so much fun. This is a great place to relax for the whole day - no plans needed for a reason to go! I cannot fully express how this inn is such a step up from every other bed and breakfast to which we've been!

The Inn is spectacular - from the grounds to the luxurious rooms to the well-appointed common areas. Rosalie and Craig pamper their guests with unmatched service - gourmet breakfasts, tips on where to go and what to see, and great attention to detail make this the perfect place to stay. What a relaxing way to unwind from life's hectic times. We'll definitely be back again and again.

Wow. We are in awe of Rosalie George and her magnificiant Bed & Breakfast. I have never written a review before but I am moved to put this up anywhere I can. My husband and I always appreciate quality and anything that is the level best that it can be. We also love B&B's and have stayed at all that we know of around Hershey. We come 2X a year, once for business and once for pleasure, so we've stayed everywhere you can find. No more--from now on it is ONLY ANNVILLE INN B&B that we will stay at. Rosalie has provided us the absolute best in value, in rooms, in food, in animinities, just wonderful, fabulous. She is so friendly and helpful. She has high standards for her Inn, and it shows. Not only all that, but the gardens around the inn...it is like a park or a small botanical garden with labels on plants, pergolas, ponds, etc. The swimming pool is huge, and to have a real theatre with dynamic surround sound is just over the top. And the whole place is beautiful, beautiful, beautiful. Take our advice, this is the place to stay. We are going to LANCASTER soon, but don't expect to see us staying at a Lancaster B&B, we'll commute the 30 minutes to Annville. And it is so convenient to Hershey Park, just minutes away, but safely out in the country. Best of everything. Thanks, Rosalie. Count on us being back over and over again and sending everyone we know. You are on top of your game, you are the best! Gloria

My fiance and I had a wonderful time staying with Rosalie. From the moment we walked through the front door, we became part of her family and she went out of her way to make it feel like home away from home. She has taken great care in covering every detail that you could think of...from homemade cookies available round the clock to directions to Hersheypark, so we could make our concert on time and missed all of the traffic. Rosalie met us both mornings with a very delicious breakfast that filled us up for a good portion of the day. If you were looking for something to do or a place to have dinner later that evening, she was full of ideas and was more than happy to make reservations for you. We are looking forward to returning to the inn for more R&R at a wonderful B&B.

The location is very convenient to Hershey. We enjoyed treating ourselvest to the luxury of the English Manor Suite (complete with fireplace and jacuzzi). This was my first trip to a bed and breakfast in several years and I'm afraid it has spoiled me for any other!

My wife and I stayed at Annville B&B during the Valentine day weekend. We loved the house, our room, all its many amenities but the best part of being there was being hosted by Rosalie and Craig. They're the best innkeepers we've come across. Every detail in house is taken care of including the toilet paper :-) Rosalie makes the best breakfast and Craig is a natural impersonator of Bill Clinton. We highly recommend this B&B and look forward to visiting again in June when we can take advantage of their swimming pool and walk in the rose garden.

My wife surprised me with a stay at Annville Inn Bed and Breakfast. I had no idea where we were going. Then, when we got there, I moaned, "Oh, no, not a B&B"--I HAD NEVER BEEN TO ONE. I figured it would not be any fun. WRONG! This was the best time I have ever had. I AM NOW A BELIEVER! How fortunate my first B&B experience was with Annville Inn B&B and the marvelous innkeeper there, Rosalie George. She really knows what she is doing. She has set the bar so high, I doubt if any place we ever stay from now on will equal her. As a matter of fact, my wife Anne and I have talked about it and are planning on coming back two to three times a year. We are setting aside enough income a year to come to Annville Inn. Rosalie makes you feel so warm and welcome. She is such an "up" person. I wish everyone were like Rosalie, I really do. The world would be such a wonderful place. She's simply the best. And, what a chef! At breakfast all three mornings (yep, we had booked two days, but we stayed a 3rd day, she was so helpful in arranging an extension!) the other guests would talk about how delicioius her food is, and how beautifully prepared. One person said, "Another inn could fix the very same thing, but i guarantee it wouldn't taste as good, nor would it be as beautifully presented." I have recommended Annville Inn to everyone I know. I predict Rosalie will be very, very successful. No reason not to be. The house is marvelous, and so imaginative, so unique and so interesting. So many rooms for all the guests to enjoy. She has many more rooms available for all guests' enjoyment than any other Inn according to the other guests I met...I can't judge that as Annville Inn was my first B&B stay, and frankly, I woulnd't ever want to go anywhere else. I'd be afraid nobody else would live up to Rosalie and the Annville Inn.

We have staying in a number of B&Bs around Lancaster and Hershey, but this one stands out. The fact that the rooms are clean and neat, and that there are games and a movie theater is nothing. Rosalie cooks an amazing breakfast, and she and Craig will stop at nothing to make sure you are comfortable and pleased. I am scheduling a trip out to Lancaster... but I think I will see if I can't get a room at Annville Inn and drive the hour out of my way after our theater show. It is WELL worth it.

This was the perfect place for a "getaway" after a long, rough year. I was able to completely relax and enjoy my visit in this cozy and charming B & B. The Innkeeper, Rosalie, made my stay even more emotionally therapeutic with her thoughtfulness and attention to every little detail. Every aspect of the Annville Inn was beautiful and clean on the inside and out. The food was also fabulous and I appreciated her taking my special dietary needs into consideration. I thoroughly enjoyed the coffee "bar" and the movie room. I stayed in the Secret Room, which was a real treat. I had privacy and was able to snuggle up in bed and felt like I was in my own home, without the stress of the phones and commitments. I also enjoyed the fireplace and the skylights when I was dozing off for the night. I can't wait to visit again! Shea - Ponte Vedra Beach, FL

Stayed at the Annville Inn B&B 4th of July 2008 weekend. Rosalie and Craig are delightful hosts. The property is easily accessible both from town and the interstate. Close to Hershey and Harrisburg as well as Lancaster County. The Inn itself has every amenity imaginable - - the rooms are beyond charming and are thoughtful and absolutely spotless. Hershey candy bars grace your bed in addition to a bowl of treats on the dresser. The lower level includes a pool table, game room, and 8+ seat movie theatre. The main floor holds the formal sitting room, dining room and enclosed/screen porch. There is a pool and many water features outside. Craig's greenthumb lends beautifully to the gardens and multiple plant beds. During the evening you can also enjoy a bonfire in the far backyard. Breakfast is served at 9 a.m. and you will NOT be disappointed. Rosalie has great attention to every last detail - - it was an extreme pleasure staying for three days and we plan to return, at least annually.

The rooms were each unique and very nice. They have one room with a "secret door" to get in. A HUGE play room and theater with stadium seating in the basement. We woke up to the most amazing view, breakfast was incredible. We hung out and drank coffee and tea in the chairs in the back yard overlooking the rolling hills. Rosalie gave us many options as far as what to do that day. We told them what we were looking for for dinner and they sent us right where we wanted to be. We loved it so much we stayed another night. It was just so relaxing and inviting. We will definetly be going back again very soon. It was also very affordable considering you can't even get a nice hotel room in the area for the same price.

In our picture gallery, we always save room for an image of the Inn from the current season.  Winter is our favorite time of the year, it is ANNVILLE INN'S SECRET SEASON.  Come join us for the Secret Season this year. Get out of your daily life and here to the Inn to relax, be inspired, to re-discover, re-connect, unwind...you get it!Central Foyer with staircase, passageway into the Parlor and through the door beyond that, passageway to the East Foyer and Dining Room.
The ENGLISH MANOR SUITE is indeed a large room...with high ceilings as you can see here.  We are showing a portion of the chandelier, and beneath it to the left is the mirror of the beautiful wood armoire.  Reflecting in the mirror is part of the peninsula fireplace, which provides flame visible on three sides (including from both the bed and Jacuzzi.) This image was made before the wall at the far end became home to a mural (famous among our guests) of a scenic English countryside, by muralist/artist Marcie Otterson.We feature in the ENGLISH MANOR SUITE Jacuzzi's newest true two-person hot tub with a heat enchanger, which keeps your water at your desired temperature--no "cool down" effect.  Note the large plate-glass mirror, the skylight above, and the fireplace to the left.
The ENGLISH MANOR SUITE's center attraction, besides the penunsula fire place, two person Jacuzzi and numerous other special features is this King-size, georgeous Sleigh Bed made of select hard woods, finely crafted to host a very comfortable King's Down mattress--the same one used by the Queen of England!A highlight of the ENGLISH MANOR SUITE is this love seat and English table--a great place to sit back for a nice cup of tea or to curl up with your favorite book!
We like showing off our beautiful private bathrooms!  This one is from the ENGLISH MANOR SUITE, and features a beautiful counter constructed of a former fire place mantel--great idea, Craig!  The standing bowl lavitory is fed by a special faucet, which delivers water down a short trough!  Note the mural, one of two painted in this suite by accomplished artist Marcie Otterson.  Ms. Otterson was in England and brought her ideas to the English Manor suite. Her mural in the main bedroom is the subject of many photographs taken by our guests!  The SECRET ROOM!   Your hideaway!  You access this room down a secret passageway. Nothing spooky at all, just intrigue and fun.  The King-sized bed features a King's Down mattress as do all our rooms...the same mattress that Queen Elizabeth sleeps on.  The theme of this room is Mission, part of the Arts & Crafts Movement famous during the late 1920's to 1940's. The style is known for clean, simple lines and craftsman style workmanship. Everything in this room from the mica lamps and other lilght fixtures to the furnishings (check out the standing mirror and plant stand!) and carpet are from the Mission era.  All the public rooms in the Inn (such as the Dining Room) evoke the Mission era, and Frank Lloyd Wright's styling.
 Part of the fireplace from the SECRET ROOM.  There is a reason for the little squirrel on the hearth--he represents a pesky little creature we had for a number of seasons who was famous for such hijinks as using aerobatics to reach seed in bird feeders.  He also used the peaks and valleys of our long roof line as his highway about the property.In addition to the incredible King-size Mission Style bed in the SECRET ROOM, this--one of our three most popular rooms--features a terrific deck allowing a vista looking east over farm fields to the horizon. If you are an early riser, you want to be out on the deck with your morning coffee or tea watching the sun rise above the barns.  This deck also has a staircase leading down to the Train Garden where Craig has a G-Scale train operating and the Tapestry Garden, a secret, hidden garden with a waterfountain.  This room has numerous secrets, but we won't give them away here, you have to come find them!
Guests always tell us, "This looks like a magazine lay-out for Neiman Marcus, or a scene right out of Santa Fe, New Mexico!  The latter was our goal.  Here you see a true two person Jacuzzi, their latest model, which has a heat exchanger to maintain your desired water temperature the entire time you are in the water!  Opposite it is a Kiva-style fire place, straight out of SantaFe or Taos, complete with niches in its chimney to hold Kachina Dolls.  There are numerous tiles, pots, baskets and other items of Southwestern Art that the room comes with a book Craig put together to explain the symbolism each is intended to convey.  You have to see the bathroom.  Come in person, stay in this great room...stay three nights or more, you will really enjoy it.  This is one of our three most popular rooms.Detail of the Kiva-style fireplace in the GREAT SOUTHWEST ROOM.  See other Great Southwest Room picture captions for more details.
Part of the "blow you away" (as one guest put it) features of the GREAT SOUTHWEST ROOM is numerous pieces of Indian art created by Woody Crumbo, a famous Indian artist from Oklahoma who later re-located to Santa Fe, New Mexico.  Craig built the walls in this room himself, after long searches for building materials to create adobe and Southwest plaster as found inside many puebelos.  This view shows a portion of this very special room and the entry to the bathroom, which features a unique sink fashioned to remind one of weathered rock. Our COUNTRY COMFORT with the fireplace and the corner of a beautiful oak dresser showing. The Queen-size bed is known as a "Rolling Pin" bed due to the design of the headboard and footboard!  It features, as do all our rooms, a top of the line King's Down mattress, the same mattress Queen Elizabeth sleeps on!
This room beckoned to us when we were remodeling General Kendall's house to build a B&B.  It had purple carpeting and the dramatic mural you see reflected in the mirror.  Rosalie said, "We have to make this a Mardi-Gras themed room!"  The chalkish white walls were bathed in a lighter shade of purple (than the carpeting) and Rosalie found numerous wrought iron furnishings reminiscent of New Orleans.  The bed is a unique wrought iron sleigh bed.Annville Inn's dining room always draws "Ooh's & Ahhs" every time a newcomer enters it.  True to our dedication to the Mission and Arts & Crafts styles of the late 1920's through '40's, the room is certainly spacious, is all glass on one side (looking into the conservatory) has deep-set windows facing east, and features a large coffee bar along one wall and a floor to ceiling bookcase on the other.

Beyond the chairs is a table many guests love to sit at and assemble jig-saw puzzles. Especially fun on snowy days.  In the summer time, this room is a popular place to sit and read and to enjoy the cool breeze. In the summer, many of our plants are moved outdoors and all the windows, all the way around, are opened with screens passing in the gentle Pennsylvania breeze.
Pastoral scenes abound in Pennsylvania, and our home has the absolute best view in the valley.  The vista is the primary reason we purchased the General's house, and certainly one of the benefits that draws guests here from all around the country.  This view shows part of the Inn's Peony collection, and further behind it, Ashie's Garden is full of blooms.  Craig maintains three acres of public gardens here at the Inn.
Come down to the bonfire area, even without a fire, sit back in the comfortable Adirondack chairs, and gaze up into the night sky, filled with stars and constellations.  If you live in a city, you will want to park yourself here and take in the sky. We also provide large telescopes for you serious astronomers!Our Swimming Pool is the best!  40,000 gallons of water maintained to peak condition. The pool features a "buddy seat," which is a double chair built into the water with swirling water jets. The large size of the pool allows those of you who swim laps to get your exercise!  The deck area around the pool is large enough to accommodate 200 people in a cocktail party atmosphere. We seldom do that, but it does give you plenty of space to lie out and sun!
