    We were in Ephrata for a family function and were familiar with the Inn from passing by it. Litle did we know what a delightful experiece it would be with a winning combination of historic character and up to date amenities. Our hosts Rebecca and Dave were delighful and perfectly suited for their positions as innkeepers. The breakfast (not my favorite meal of the day) was delightful and situated in a beautiful sunlit room. All in all a 5 star experience and we would be more than happy to return.

    My husband and I stayed for three nights at the Historic Smithton Inn and enjoyed every moment. David and Rebecca are a warm and enjoyable couple. Rebecca's breakfasts were fabulous and the Inn is beautifully maintained. We would highly recommend a stay at the Smithton!

    I had a brief, but wonderful stay at the Historic Smithton Inn. The tailor's quarters were extremely cozy with a fireplace, fluffy bedding and lots of room for a family. The place was immaculate and appropriately decorated to reflect the history of the Inn. Rebecca, the innkeeper, was extremely accomodating to my dietary needs for breakfast and prepared a special tomato stuffed egg. The presentation and taste of the food was excellent. I felt as if I were queen for a day! I highly recommend this Inn to anyone passing through the area, as it provides comfort, history and hospitality at a five star level!

    The loveliest innkeepers - enjoyed the casual conversations and the beautiful restorations of this inn over the last 2 years - Becky knows the area and gave us ideas of sites and restaurants to suit our style and interests that we couldn't have found on the internet

    A very relaxing, pleasant experience. My husband and I stayed in the Crismson room, very spacious, clean and comfortable to say the least. Rebecca and her husband were friendly, warm and welcomed us as if we were old friends meeting again for the first time after many years away. Anyone wishing to experience a bed and breakfast with all the charm and character should consider a stay at the Smithton Inn.
