    The Forbes Suite sitting room also offers the extra advantage of a twin bed in the sitting room. Perfect for occasions such as a "Girlfriends Getaway Weekend" when two friends want share the suite but each want their own sleeping space.
    The Forbes bathroom is attached to the bedroom and provides a large airy retreat to start and end your day.
    The Davis Suite provides an attached sitting room with a private bath just down the hall.
    The Davis Suite sitting room is attached to the bedroom and provides a cozy retreat for reading or watching some hdtv.

    Our B&B was built in the late 1800's but has the latest comforts and technologies. We're located in Southern Central PA, just shy of the PA/MD border...only 90 minutes from Washington, D.C. We're nestled at the foot of South Mountain just a few miles from several states parks and forests. We have a branch of Penn State in our town, home of their forestry school. There are always interesting events going on in our area, especially if you are a history buff. Love antiquing? We've got loads of that too. As one of our guests recently said "If you're looking for wild city life or a big party, skip Mont Alto. If you want to sit on the front porch swing with a lovely quilt and feel the stress melt away, The Caledonia Guest House is the place."

    Free Veterans Day Stay

    November 27, 2012

    We were greeted when we got to the Bed and Breakfast. We where showed our bedroom, sitting room and bathroom. Then we talked to the Bates for a while. We went out and when we got back there was cake, candy and hot cocoa waiting for us. When we went to breakfast the next day we started with a fruit cocktail drink. Then we had a crescent roll with white truffles. There was also carmelized bacon. Everything was delicious. We had a wonderful stay and we would definitely come back again.
