Reynolds Mansion B&B

Maybe the best experience yet at a BnB. The hosts were wonderful, breakfast was delicious! We have paid to tour houses with less grandeur than The Reynolds Mansion!

We happened upon Bellefonte on a previous road trip and vowed we would return. This time around we stayed at the Reynolds Mansion. It is a short walk from the center of town. Tricia and Mike are warm and welcoming hosts. The Mansion was amazing and they seemed truely happy to share it with us. Each room is beautifully and cleverly decorated. Tony, the black lab, and his new little friend Nia are also inviting. They are gentle and well behaved. Breakfast was great both mornings we were there and very nicely served. We took advantage of their participation in the free night for veterans offer and stayed two nights. We felt very comfortable during our three day visit and look forward to another. Toni and Gary

My husband and I stayed at the Reynolds Inn. The inn itself is magnificent. The owners are delightful and made us feel totally at home. They are clearly dedicated to this place and making their guests feel pampered. All of the rooms are simply gorgeous. Breakfast was superb. We have sent many friends to this Inn. It's a destination in itself.

What an amazing getaway! We were warmly greeted by Tricia and given a tour of the fabulous mansion. Everything is so tastefully decorated, and the wood work is amazing. The owners went out of their way to accomodate a special request for a Caramel Cake from scratch as a surprise for my husbands birthday. The room accomdations, the minifridge, the 24-hour coffee, the available microwave, Snuggery special treats added nice flavor to our after dinner coffee :). We highly recommend for anyone who is eager to explore the historic town, but also for those wanting a quiet relaxing time away.

The owners are lovely. Breakfast was just ok, not very big portions. The room was absolutlely freezing and no option to change thermostat, and it was too late to wake the hosts. Usually there is soap or shampoo in the bathroom, there was none. the architecture of the house itself was beautiful, but I like b&b's which have original items that are antique, or place settings that are old as well. I most likely wouldn't go there again.

Reynolds Mansion is an outstanding historic home in a residential area of historic Belefonte. Our room was large, lovely and comfortable and the hosts were friendly and accomodating. We highly recommend this Bed and Breakfast.

I have stayed twice.The BB is a great getaway. I am from the area and found I wanted to find a place my husband and I (or myself) could go to enjoy some "us time" away from the kids.I love the Woolands Room and have requested this room each time and again for my planned third trip in December. I can think of no better place to relax, enjoy the town and have a fantastic breakfast waiting for me in the morning.I highly recommend taking the time to look at the lovely wood and stain glass in the Mansion.You will not be disappointed.Trish and Mike were awesome and very polite and welcoming.I have found my getaway spot close to home and am looking forward to my next visit in December during the Victorian Christmas event put on by the town of Bellefonte.Theresa Falls

The Reynolds Mansion is a beautiful example of fine craftsmanship. The Innkeepers, Mike & Tricia are very pleasant, willing to help, and generally good people. The rooms are not super large, but they are all beautifully decorated and the housekepping staff does well to ensure all rooms are clean. The small town was nice and the inn is close to State College, home of the Penn State Nittany Lions. We really did not plan on spending much time out of the room. It was a great spot for us to relax and spend some quality time alone. The in room jacuzzi tub was great as well. We recommend highly and would suggest you bring several bottles of wine and relax.

My girlfriend and I booked a weekend here on a whim, and we loved every minute. I booked a special package for the first night, so we had rose petals in the jacuzzi tub and wine waiting for us, and everything was wonderful. We stayed in the Cherub room, and we were delighted by the story behind the mural on the ceiling. Overall, wonderful stay. The only complaint that we had was that we were only there for two nights. The owners are fabulous, and had suggestions for anything from lunch locations to hairstylists.

Our stay at the Reynold's Mansion was simply wonderful. The decor is very tasteful, incorporating many of the Victorian pieces original to the Mansion. The woodwork was stunning; the fireplaces and light fixtures lovely. The best part, however, was that the Mansion is kept in such a way that visitors feel comfortable even amidst the ornate Victorian atmosphere. The common areas are very inviting and the innkeepers/owners helped us feel right at home from the moment we arrived. We stayed in the Green Room, a large room on the second floor. With a king size bed, jacuzzi tub, and fireplace, the room is a vacation in itself. It was quiet and peaceful. The bed was beautifully made with quality bedding. The leather sofa and ottoman provided a place to sit and relax. The views from the tall windows are lovely and add to the tranquil, "getaway" feel of the room. But with wireless internet and a small tv/dvd, one could easily "plug in" if necessary. One cannot review the Reynold's Mansion without mentioning the breakfast: terrific! I am already looking forward to returning for another stay! It was a memorable stay.

Reynolds Mansion is a great place to stay, it is beautiful and the owners are very friendly. I would highly recommend this place and I cannot wait to see what they do with the landscape this summer!! Thanks for the relaxing weekend and great hospitality!

We stayed at the Reynolds Mansion Friday through Sunday. Saturday was an ice storm, and after a harrowing trip around town on foot (all of three blocks to the center of town and back) we decided to pop in a movie, turn up the fire, curl up on the couch, and cocoon ourselves in. And order pizza for delivery! Our room (Colonel's Green Room) was perfect for this, and even the name of the pizza place (which delivered during ice storms!) we got from the material provided in the room. Mike & Tricia are superb hosts. They even arranged for an ad hoc tour of another house in town, just because they knew the owners and thought we'd be interested (correct -- it was fascinating). Breakfasts were outstanding. And friends who have seen our photos of the mansion keep marveling at the architecture and furnishings; the website doesn't do it justice! (Mike says they are working on an improved website.) We definitely recommend it, and would definitely go there again!

After our wedding, we stayed at the Reynold's Mansion to relax and unwind for a couple of nights before embarking on our honeymoon cruise. The innkeepers were obliging (and were also great chefs!), the authentic Victorian decor was awe-inspiring, and our room was simply stunning. We are already planning to return for our first anniversary!

Reynolds Mansion was a fabulous place for us to stay for our anniversary weekend. It was quiet, clean, and cozy. Our room was perfect. It had a jacuzzi and fireplace which was wonderful since our trip was in the winter. The owners are so warm and friendly. The breakfast was top notch and served in such a beautiful setting. The mansion had all of the comforts of home. It is definitley the best B&B that we have ever stayed in.

Had a great one night stay at the Reynold's Mansion B&B, amazing beautiful house, loved our room (Grand Tour), great breakfast, very friendly housekeepers and the town was adorable. the perfect little get-away spot!

Hands down, this is a top notch B&B! The owners, Mike and Tricia are wonderful people. Our first visit there we needed all 6 rooms. In fact we were on a motorcycle trip. Not to worry! They welcome bikers. (there were 12 of us!) We had a great time playing pool and singing along with Tricia who plays a magnificent piano! They blended right in with our group. No stuffy airs, no uppity attitudes...just great down-to -earth people. The Mansion is expertly decorated, very clean and the food is excellent! Our second trip was over New Year's Eve (2010) Same thing....what a great time! Best value for the money and best value for one heck of a good time! We will be back!

My husband and I went there for our honeymoon, we made short notice reservations and everything was perfect (day of). We got the Touch of Romance and Wine and Dine packages, where the gift card of $40 to the Gamble Mill Restaurant was included. We had dinner there and it was outstanding, our stay was outstanding, Mike and Trisha were so friendly and helpful, and like the other reviewers said, they were not intrusive AT ALL. The breakfasts were great and the hubby loves the Inn's coffee. The Mansion was so gorgeous and everything looks like it's from the 1800's. WE LOVED IT AND WOULD STAY THERE AGAIN!!

This is a must visit. Stayed in the Green Room. Character throughout and great hospitality by Mike and Tricia. You won't be disappointed.

I can't imagine a more perfect place for a small celebration or family gathering! The bride and groom and most of the wedding guests stayed at the beautiful Reynolds Mansion and enjoyed superb hospitality for the weekend. On Sunday everyone gathered in the living room in front of the fireplace for the ceremony and then enjoyed wonderful hors d' oeuvres and dinner prepared by Mike and Trish. Trish even played piano during the ceremony. They are the perfect hosts - warm, accomodating and personable. I left feeling like I made a lot of new friends. The Inn is magnificent and the pictures don't do it justice. I will definitely be back!

It doesn't get any better than this. Exquisite architecture, superb accommodation, gourmet breakfast and the most gracious hosts you could ever desire. Only stayed one night but wish it could have been longer. Mike Matthias, Southampton, England

The place is beyond beautiful -- it's authentically beautiful, with history to match. The 13 fireplaces are by themselves worth seeing. Really a splendid B&B.

great place, highly recommend. hope to stay there again sometime

I was met at arrival by Mike, one of the owners, who gave me a tour and showed me to my room. He and his wife were always available but never seemed intrusive. The building is wonderful and my room, which had a jacuzzi, was wonderful also. Lots of room, great furnishings, and a nice feel to it all. They gave me a great restaurant recommendation for dinner, that I could walk to. Breakfast was a great piece of quiche, juice, and coffee. The town looks interesting and I could see staying a couple nights so that I could explore it some in the future.

My wife and I first stayed in the Reynolds Mansion on our honeymoon back in 1999. Although we were sad to see Charlotte and Joe Heidt sell the BnB it was nice to meet the new owners, Tricia, Mike and their two dogs Tony and Carmine. The rooms are still immaculately decorated and are warm and cozy. We requested eggs Benedict for breakfast and were treated to THE BEST we have ever had! By far, the Reynolds Mansion is the best bed and breakfast in the area and maybe in PA. We will definitely be going back!

Really enjoyed my stay at the Reynolds Mansion. The hosts were very friendly and even accommodated my need of a before sunrise breakfast. Highly recommend.

Such a beautiful mansion. The hosts were extremely hospitable. The rooms were very nice, clean and comfortable. The pictures on the website don't do it justice. We will definitely return. Thank you Mike & Tricia for a wonderful B&B experience - just like it should be.

A beautiful house that the new owners are doing a fine job with. They are warm and welcoming and pleasant people.

My wife and I had a great time while at the Reynolds Mansion. The service was excellent and we were made to feel very welcome.

As we walked in the door, we were greeted with a smile and welcoming attitude. Mike and Trish are warm and friendly hosts. After a tour of the mansion, we were taken to our room. It was so clean and quiet. The attention to detail in the rooms is wonderful. The breakfast was very good. I can't wait until our next visit.

Wonderful addition of the baby grand piano. Perfect atmosphere

The new owners haven't missed a beat in continuing the Reynolds' tradition of being the best place to stay in the area.

With an unusual mid-August weather forecast of low 80s and low humidity for the upcoming weekend, the hubs and I decided to take the Jeep to the woods, and started looking for someplace new and fun to stay. We enjoy historic properties, so referred to our Select Registry book and saw the Reynolds Mansion B&B listing. The Bellefonte location was great for access to several PA state forests where we could take the Jeep off the black-top. It's also very close to State College. Their website offered "last minute specials" of 20% off the usual rate, and included a real-time vacancy calendar. Called Thursday evening after 9 pm and reached Tricia, one-half of the new owners & inkeeper team. She was very helpful and handled the booking quickly and efficiently. We chose the Green Room based on the photos on their website. We arrived mid-afternoon Friday and our room was ready. The first order of business was a wonderful tour of the house, hosted by Mike the other owner/inkeeper. (Mike & Tricia brought their family from Manhattan and took over the Reynolds Mansion only two months ago, but they were already very comfortable, hospitable, and familiar with the history of the Mansion.) The original woodwork, fireplaces, restored lighting fixtures, etched glass, stained glass, plasterwork--it's all amazing. Furnishings are tasteful and appropriate (a mixture of antiques and new); our bed was very comfortable; room was quiet; bathroom large and well-appointed. Breakfast Saturday morning was a delicious casserole accompanied by fresh-baked breads, yogurt parfait, coffee/tea, juices, all served with a touch of elegance at tables beautifully laid with lace, cloth napkins, and pretty table settings. On the way out of the dining room, we were encouraged to help ourselves to freshly-baked, still-warm chocolate chip cookies. Check-out was quick and easy, with no surprises. We will definitely go back for another (and hopefully longer) stay at this beautiful and well-hosted inn.

I found the Reynolds Mansion while frantically searching the Internet to find a place to stay for move in weekend at State College PA. All hotels in that town were booked. I happened upon Reynolds Mansion, booked onlne and off we went. We were greeted at the door upon arrival by the owner. Our room was spectacular and very clean and I am incredibly picky about the cleanliness of hotel rooms. Hoping to stay again for graduation weekend!

New owners as of 06/10. Very friendly and personable. They bent over backwards to make our four night stay memorable and comfortable. Rooms were beautiful and breakfasts were outstanding.

We celebrated our 15th wedding anniversary at the Reynolds Mansion and could not have been more thrilled. We stayed in the Green Room which was beautifully appointed and extremely comfortable. We were greated graciously by Charlotte and taken care of throughout our stay by Donna and the staff. We highly recommend this Inn as a place to truly get away from it all.

My wife and I spent two wonderful days in Bellefonte, exploring the city, sites, and establishments. We stayed at this beautifully maintained and charming B&B for two nights. Our host, Charlotte, was gracious, helpful and a really good cook! We stayed in the Cherub Room. The room was big, bright and cozy. The private bath and spa was great. We enjoyed the pool table and snuggery (library). Don't miss the Joe Paterno-autographed football on display! Must sees while staying here are the Gamble Mill Restaurant (5 minutes away) and The Tavern at State College (10 miles away, home of PSU - Go State!). We really enjoyed our stay and will return again!

Charlotte was a wonderful host. We got a full tour of the mansion and its rooms. Our room was roomy, spotless, comfortable and charming. Having coffee down the hall on demand was great. The price was very reasonable for the quality of the place and its service. The breakfasts were a delight and very personably served. One of our favorite places ever! We got good information about restaurants, antique shops and travel directions. A trully wonderful experience. J and G Rice

A wonderful inn in a wonderful town. Terrific hospitality. Would love to return.

My husband and I have stayed at the Reynolds Mansion numerous times and each time it is as wonderful as the next. The mansion is gorgeous, the innkeeper, Donna, was wonderful, the food outstanding, and of course, the accomodations were fantastic as usual. We are always extremely happy with our stay.

We visited the mansion during the holidays, and were immediately transported back to a Victorian Christmas. Breakfast was delicious in the impeccably decorated dining room. We loved the fireplace in our room!

The mansion has so much beauty and charm! The room we stayed in was very comfortable and a great way to spend a romantic night. The innkeepers are amazing, the service and food were above and beyond!

My husband and I had our wedding ceremony there in December 2008. The whole place was decorated for X-mas and all of the fireplaces were lit. We also stayed for 2 nights. the staff was wonderful, the food was incredible, and the mansion itself left us in awe! We can't wait to go back and celebrate anniversaries!!!

great stay

Reynold's Mansion is absolutely beautiful. Hospitality was wonderful, we were made to feel at home. Breakfast was delicious.

We have been to many B & B's over the years. The Reynolds Mansion is one of the finest we have stayed at. Everything was perfect, right from the superb linens on the bed to the gourmet breakfast in the morning. Charlotte and her staff made us feel welcome and "at home." Simply first class!

This elegant Victorian inn far exceeded our expectations. The ultimate in ambiance, comfort, and hospitality we expected, but it was the extra touches, and the obvious care and thought that the innkeepers put into their endeavors, they made us take notice. We loved it here!

Felt like staying with family.

The mansion is our favorite B&B in PA. We go there twice a year and have never been disappointed with the rooms, service, or dining. Charlotte is a wonderful hostess!

They go out of their way to see to our needs. We sent our daughter and her husband there for their wedding night.

My husband and i were married here and it is absolutely beautiful! Host was very gracious and everything was just as i had hoped. We had a great time! Thanks!!!

I made arrangements for a special weekend for my husband. The B&B was beautifully decorated for Christmas. I ordered a massage for him. Bed was so comfortable. Delicious food. Very friendly owner.

From our arrival to our departure, Mark the innkeeper was informative, personable, and a great cook. Mark made our stay memorable.

Close to Penn State, beautifully appointed rooms, luxurious amenities. Wish we could have stayed longer. Delightful breakfast!

This was my first time at the Reynolds Mansion. From the time I stepped foot into the door I was immediately greeted and given a tour. I learned so much about the Reynolds Mansion history is was very impressive. The Owners Charlotte and Joe made you feel right at home. The Innkeeper, Mark, made you feel like you were best friends right off the bat! The breakfast makes you feel like a queen! I felt so at home and the rooms were FANTASTIC! The holiday lights were breathtaking and it is somewhere I would love to LIVE! Thanks Reynolds Mansion family for making my stay so welcoming! Kim

A beautiful Victorian Mansion in a lovely town. The woodwork, furnishings, amenities, and service were all memorable. Breakfast was an event to be lingered over. We will be talking about this one for years!

My husband and I wanted a relaxing weekend and that is exactly what we had- delightful accommodations, delicious breakfast, quiet relaxation.

Our host, Mark, was warm and welcoming. The inn was an absolutely beautiful Victorian with wonderful architectural details and impeccably maintained. Food was delicious. Pets made us feel at home!

All I can say is that Mark, the innkeeper, was wonderful. He made our weekend the best experience we have ever had at a B&B- Thank you, Mark!

awesome stay!

room was spacious and clean. Comfy and cozy. breakfast was plentiful and delightful. staff very accommodating.

very different ornate trim and woodwork. friendly staff

outstanding

Excellent service with many amenities. Gorgeous Victorian setting and furnishings

Beautiful and historic home. warm, cozy, and comforting. Innkeeper- Mark- delicious breakfasts! Charlotte-owner- Accommodating clean and spotless home

Fantastic accommodations; super hospitality; best B&B so far!!

For experiencing a log of unknowns, the family at Reynolds Mansion made us feel right at home. My son and I had to go by ourselves and Mark having a few conversations with my son. I feel much better about the entire transition. We will always be grateful to Charlotte for making the impossible, possible when after calling several

Could not be happier with my stay at the Reynolds Mansion. We were in the area to visit relatives. The Inn is very historic and grand. The rooms are diverse and cozy. Breakfast was a gourmet delight and excellent. I only wish I had more time to linger in the "snugery".

Although the mansion's elegance and fascinating antiques are impressive and create a "WOW!" at every turn, the Heidts made us feel right at home and very comfortable.

I like the Reynolds Mansion so much that I just want to move in and live there! Especially like the Snuggery with its library, Hershey Kisses and brandy nightcap, and as a Nittany Lion fan - this is the perfect place to stay for PSU games.

Wonderful hospitality, beautiful suites, delicious breakfasts, we will highly recommend the Reynolds Mansion. Mark is a charming innkeeper. We will be back.

I found the Reynold's Mansion to be elegantly comfortable! Our innkeeper was delightful, personable, informative, friendly and an excellent host. I can't wait to go back!

This was our annual visit to Bellefonte. 10th year at the Reynolds mansion. Very pleased, great hostess and host.

The Reynolds Mansion has always been a wonderful retreat for us! We've stayed there three times and it has always been terrifically comfortable and the food is tremendous! The owners and innkeeper are kind and extremely attentive to all needs.

I spent a couple nights here with my fiancée after finding it online. It was immaculate, absolutely stunning... I have rarely, if ever had service this great. We will both be staying here on several more occasions just to have a get-away from the daily routine and relax. Everything, EVERYTHING had exceeded out expectations and we cannot say enough positive things. There are only four months left in 2008, and we will be back before the year is up. The beauty, the quality, and the relaxation is something to be experienced directly. We just cannot say enough as to how our visit went. Immaculate. ~ Joshua & Emma

This is a wonderful B & B. The mansion is just beautiful - set in a quaint town. The rooms are wonderfully inviting & decorated so nicely & the owners and innkeeper are very friendly and hospitable. Also, the breakfasts are delicious! It's a place you hate to leave.

Very romantic and victorian elegance. we had a warm welcome and memorable stay.

We stay at the Reynolds Mansion every time we drive to PA which is twice a year or more. We have always received a warm welcome, a comfy, beautiful room and a delicious breakfast. A real treat in the heart of Pennsylvania!

When we arrived we were greeted by Mark who gave us a tour of the Inn. He was an outstanding host and made us feel very welcome. Breakfast was great, we had the blueberry/cranberry cobbler. The rooms were clean and comfy. Didn't want to leave!!

This is our third visit to the Reynolds Mansion. Each experience has been a delight. The rooms are cozy and comfortable. The breakfasts are a culinary joy. The hostess is charming. I would recommend the Reynolds Mansion to anyone who would enjoy a relaxing and welcoming getaway.

RM is a very friendly, well-kept, & beautifully designed bed & breakfast. The Victorian decor & great housekeeping keep all guests feeling welcome & at home.

Charlotte & Mark made our stay a delightful experience. Our family used 3 rooms on the 3rd floor. Mansion was spotless, food was excellent and service was beyond expectation.

The perfect balance of privacy and socialization, the innkeepers of the Reynolds Mansion have beautifully prepared rooms with all the amenities, plus a location and setting that cannot be matched. I highly recommend it for any traveler.

This is my 5th year in a row and I'll be back next year. I've stayed in many B&B's and this is the one I keep coming back to!

The mansion is awe inspiring, beautiful, classy and yet, comfortable. We enjoyed rose petals, wine, cheese and fresh fruit at the double jacuzzi. The couple's massage made us melt with relaxation. The breakfasts were varied, creative and delicious. The service was phenominal, with directions and suggestions. Mark was wonderful, helpful, funny and caring. We felt welcomed and wanted, yet were given privacy and respect. This was a tremenduos celebration, and we made friends!!

Just returned to the Reynolds after too long away. Still the best B&B we've ever been to. Hospitality is wonderful, food is scruptuous, beds are soft. The quiet, romantic atmosphere is wonderful. Charlotte is a great hostess and the new innkeeper very friendly. If you get a chance this is a must stay location. Pastor Dan and Lea

Romantic, peaceful and entertaining. the service was wonderful! Everyone was friendly and helpful! You won't be disappointed!

We stayed at the Reynolds Mansion for our wedding night and we could not have been happier with our time there. The staff was friendly and fun to talk with, and the atmosphere was incredible. We felt incredibly relaxed the entire time, and the breakfasts were amazing.

The Reynolds Mansion is by far our favorite B&B. We've stayed at the Reynolds Mansion about a half-dozen times over the past few years, and every visit was absolutely perfect. The building is spectacular. The architectural detail is incredible. Each time we stay there, we see exquisite details that we missed before! It is difficult to choose a favorite room -- each is special -- but the snuggery, the game room, and the cherub suite are among our favorites. The architecture is second only to the hospitality. We are made to feel like family coming home for a visit, except we don't have to do any dishes! The innkeepers and the housekeeper are wonderful people -- and terrific chefs! The breakfasts are delicious.

Marle & Charlotte are lovely. Mark's breakfasta are brilliant. Wonderful Stay.

Charming. Simply the best B&B we have ever stayed in. The hosts are gracious. Mark is energetic and knows his town very well. He is also a character that had us laughing and enjoying ourselves even more. The breakfast was as gourmet as you can get. Select Registry should be proud to have The Reynold's Mansion as a member.

Set in a charming, romantic Victorian town, the Reynold's Mansion is a true gem. The service there is personal and attentive, and the rooms are luxurious and relaxing. We plan on returning for out next get-away.

worth the money.the wonderful innkeeper made my stay heavenly.it was a real step back in time

This home is so pristine, with warm hospitality and enjoyable foods.

Excellent as usual.

Everything at the Reynolds Mansion exceeded our expectations! Joe was a gracious and most helpful host, always available to answer questions yet never imposing. Breakfast was the best I've ever had at a B&B, and the options for dining in the area made it difficult to choose where to eat. The room was impeccably clean yet entirely inviting; I felt at home the minute I entered. We cannot wait to go back - the only trouble is that we can't decide whether to book the same room we had (the Green Room) or try one of the others - they all looked so wonderful during our tour! This is the perfect place for a romantic and relaxing getaway!
