The Inn at Narrows Creek

we were in town for the weekend and stayed at the inn at narrows creek. wow, such a lovely establishment from beginning to end and all parts in between. well worth the stop.

Wanted to find a .place to stay on ou.r journey that wasn't just a dirty hotel/motel for our family. I saw a good review about this inn and thought to give it a try. Glad we did. The hostess was very accommodating and lent us a crib for our baby. Our son was so excited to see the hidden bunk beds and actually slept thru the night while we slept in the separate bedroom. Something he doesn't normally do in unfamiliar places. The breakfast which was served to our room was homemade and delicious. Max the dog was very friendly and kept the kids entertained while we packed up the car. The grounds were beautiful and perfect to wander around. If your looking for a 5 star accommodation then this isn't it. But if you don't mind the quirky and country feel then this is it.

Overly decorated in knick knacks lacking in taste. Narrow uncarpeted stairs. Overly heated small rooms. 1 window which was hard to open. 2 skylights - 1 over bed and 1 in bathroom which leaked during the night onto your head as you used the toilet. No discount was offered for our inconvenience. No dining room. The entertainment center consisted of a tiny TV. This was my first B & B experience and I am glad we tried another place to get what I expected.

We are so sorry that you did not enjoy your visit to our well established Inn. I do remember the evening that we had a problem with the skylight in the Sunflower Suite. It had started in the winter time and we were unable to address the problem until late in April when it finally stopped raining. But I also remember your comment about just telling us that the skylight in the bathroom had leaked just a little. I apologized for any inconvenience and you had said that it wasn't a problem at all, just wanted us to be aware of the small drip. It has since been totally removed and the ceiling repaired. I also remember asking you if you wanted the fireplace lit since the weather was getting warmer. You said you did and I showed you how to adjust the heat or just turn it off. Our steps are anything but narrow, they measure 12 wide by 42 across and have a heavy hand railing. My husband is a contractor and built this Inn with all of his 20+ years of experience and expertise. It always amazes me how anyone cannot tell you any problems they might be experiencing while here face to face, but then completely change their opinion when they write it down. Just scrolling down through the many reviews on this site is proof enough of our very satisfied cliental that return year after year and thoroughly enjoy having breakfast served in their rooms as opposed to going to a dining room setting.

We spent two nights in one of the four person cabins. It was very rustic and cozy - we enjoyed our stay while scoping out the area for our youngest son's wedding. And of course my wife really loved the country store gift shop.

We're yearly visitors to The Inn and really enjoy the convenient location off of I80. If you're a fan of breakfast, you don't want to miss experiencing one of the Inn's specialties, such as breakfast casserole, baked oatmeal or fabulous french toast. Breakfast includes fresh chopped fruit, orange juice, and muffins...plenty for 2 people ready to hit the road. The landscaping is quite charming and the country store a must-see. A true find!

The Inn at Narrows Creek fit our needs perfectly on our trip through Pennsylvania. Unlike most B&B's, breakfast was served in our room, making for a relaxing and cozy morning. The proprietess was most accommodating, really made sure we were comfortable, and scurried about all morning in her "jammies" as she tended to the needs of her guests. My wife and I enjoyed the informality of the Inn. They also have a great little gift shop.

Totally enjoyable country setting. The themed rooms are cozy, the gift store is great and breakfast is very good. Have been there a few times and will go back.

Good value, responsive innkeeper, cute & comfortable

Great location, minutes from RT80. Room was nicely decorated, TV was a bit small for the room though. Breakfast was served in the room and very yummy!

Just wanted to update the fact that all of our six rooms now have flat screen tv's and dvd players.

The Inn at Narrows Creek is enchanting - a truly lovely place. We hope to return for another visit next year.

This inn has a nice feeling to it with lovely arts and crafts decor. Beautiful garden to relax in with seasonal touches and close to Dubois, PA. Great stop for a PA Wilds road trip. We stayed in the Angel room, decorated with angels and teddy bears--a romantic setting with fireplace. Bed was a little firm for our liking and there's no thermostatic control in your room. We found it a little hot and stuffy in mid-October. Some traffic noise, especially with the window open. Poor water pressure in the shower. Nice breakfast: savory bread and egg dish with cheese and bacon, warm coffee cake, fruit cup, and apple cider. Served on seasonally inspired plates. Guest can make their own hot beverages with supplies provided in the room (coffee, teac, hot chocolate, cider).

Thanks so much for your kind review. Just wanted to let you know that we have changed the shower head since you alerted us of the water pressure problem. Thanks again.

We stayed at the Inn at Narrows Creek over the weekend of October 9th. In the area to watch the Elk. The Inn was very nicely appointed and quite comfortable. I read a comment about the small television but why on earth wold you worry about that. I was just fine to catch up with the news and scores. I wasn't there to watch TV anyways. As a professional chef I was quite pleased with the breakfast that was served to our room; great flavors and right sized portions. The gardens are lovely and you must allow time to explore them. On the constructive side, the shower head could be better but it was not a deal breaker. The cabin room was built to be authentic, right down to the sqeaky floor. That was the only thing that I bothered. As I walked I felt like I was disturbing others. But, this wasn't a deal breaker either. Some people commented about the traffic on the road but I never really noticed any noise. Dinner at Luigi's was fine. The atmosphere was better than the food but then I am very a vert critical diner. The Inn was very nice and I am sure we will visit there again the next time we stay in the area.

The owners were nice. The place was so nicely decorated. However, the bed was too hard and the shower was terrible. The breakfast was great. However, the walls were too thin, so we could hear people in the hallway and the other room. Not cool. The country store was nice. The Dubois area was ugly.

We were lucky to get a suite because of a cancellation. Everything was better than expected. A wonderful place to stay.

I am frequently in Dubois for business, and had tired of the hotels. I Googled for Bed and Breakfasts in Dubois... God was with me! The lodging is spectacular. Linda has perfected decorating that promotes comfort and serenity. I have not felt that peaceful for quite a while! I am hoping that she has rooms available for my future business ventures! In fact, me and my husband have reserved a room in November to celebrate my birthday! Thank you for the wonderful opportunity to stay with you!

We were only there one night, and can't wait to go back. Clean and cozy, the bed was comfortable. We will definitely stay again!!

I stayed one night at the Inn at Narrows Creek. I will return in the future. The setting is peaceful country. The service was excellent and the Shaffer's are attentive hosts. The room was well kept and decorated with numerous craftwork. The breakfast was very good. Check-in and check-out was a breeze.

The area is lovely, and the B & B has everything you could ask for, including a fabulous store and gracious innkeeper.

We stayed here for two nights for our seventh anniversary. The Bed and Breakfast is very peaceful and quiet. The breakfast served i our room was excellent and we would recommend this bed and breakfast to anyone. Linda is a gracious hostess.

We love this inn and stop here every time we drive from NY to Chicago.

I had a wonderful stay at this charming B&B. The room was very quaint, the breakfasts were yummy and the grounds very nice to hang out.

This is a lovely inn with vintage country decor and charm in every detail. Our hosts were gracious and food delivered piping hot to our room. We'll be back!

Narrows Creek provided the warmth and restful atmosphere conducive to allowinf veterans to bond & reacquaint themselves with comrades from over 40 years ago.

We stayed here during a Vietnam Reunion and had a lovely time. The accommodations were great and the gift shop was fantastic. The breakfasts were also wonderful.

When we stepped into the lodge at the Inn at Narrows Creek we were transported back in time to a rustic cabin. We came to see the PA Elk and our suite fit perfectly into our back in time weekend in the PA wilds.

The narrows Creek Inn B&B was a loving, caring inn, Linda is a wonderful woman. I and my husband will return again and again -- God bless.

What a great stay! The accommodations, the grounds and food were great! the company eggs, and baked oatmeal were off the hook! Can't wait to come back!

Communication with the inn to arrange a convenient check-in time was very good. they also did an excellent job to accommodate us with a vegan diet.

This B&B has become like our 'home away from home.' It is so relaxing and the grounds are beautifully landscaped! The breakfasts are delivered to our room and are always delicious!

This charming inn leaves no detail out, whether in it's decorations or accommodations. we loved it and we will be back!

My wife and I stayed in the Sunflower Suite. The staff was helpful and courteous. The extras to the room were great (fireplace, whirlpool tub, and wireless internet). Breakfast was excellent. The couch and the bed though seemed outdated and not in prime condition. Other than that is was a quaint getaway within a friendly community.

Neither my girlfriend nor I could set the night off some did in Monday night and came here on short notice. and the friendliness of the staff is what will bring us back.

We celebrated our 9th wedding anniversary at this very romantic and charming bed and breakfast. We stayed in the Sun Flower suite. The room was so nice with the gas fire place and the whirl pool. We also loved how everthing was so nicley decorated. Breakfasts were very good also. You could not have asked for a nicer host and hostess. Looking forward to a return visit.

Our recent visit to this B&B exceeded our expectations. Upon pulling in, I was amazed at how perfectly manicured and interesting the grounds were. I immediately knew that my first experience was going to be positive. Once we entered the house it just kept getting better. The decor was lovely, cozy and completely welcoming. I honestly cannot comment negatively on one thing regarding this particular B&B; except perhaps that we couldn't stay longer!

We had a very pleasant stay at the Narrows. Our room was immaculate and the grounds were a wonderful oasis off the highway. Breakfast was tasty and just enough to give us a jump on the day. We stayed in the Americana suite which was very nice but could have used a bit more lighting. Also the bed although comfortable, was noisy whenever you moved. All in all I would recommend a stay here.

The stay exceeded my expectations and was outstandingly clean.

The place was lovely, quiet & peaceful. It was a great weekend getaway.

Reservation was made over 2 months in advance. Refrigerator was turned off when we arrived, water everywhere from defrosting. Cobwebs throughout the cabin and retreat; Mildew/Mold on shower curtain. Fuse blows when using Hair Dryer and Coffee Pot at the same time. TV/VCR did not work properly. Cabin was very warm - air conditioning controls were on second floor - we asked to have it turned down, but it never was. Used hot tub one time because it made the room too warm. Left a day early. Waste of time and money - will never stay there again.

We're sorry you did not enjoy your second stay at The Inn at Narrows Creek. We strive to provide an outstanding experience to every guest, and we encourage guests to let us know when there is anything we can do to improve their stay. Thank you for bringing our attention to your trouble with the vcr and the small puddle by the refrigerator floor. Because you notified us so promptly, we were able to successfully resolve both issues soon after you arrived. The electric outlets and ground faults are all in perfect working order, and thank you for letting us know to check them during your stay. We are happy to answer any potention guests' questions about the weather they can expect to have during their visit. To prevent the cabin and lodge suites from becoming too warm, we suggest that guests keep the outside door closed. By keeping the cool air inside the room, the air conditioner works much more efficiently. I believe you may have mistaken the rustic tea-dyed shower curtain for mildew, which is certainly unfortunate. Our guest rooms and bathrooms are kept very clean. Again, we apologize that your expectations were not met during your second visit. And we're sorry that your wife was called back to work a day early. But being a repeat customer, we knew you understood our cancellation policy, especially on a holiday weekend when we had turned away numerous requestss for that Cabin Suite. We have had countless happy guests who return time after time over the ten years we have been operating, and we plan to have many more in the future.

Loved the country charm and the clean, comfortable room. Although the bathroom was a bit on the tiny side, the room was perfect for our 1-night stay on our way to Ohio. Best part was being served a yummy breakfast in our room. It was nice to eat in my bathrobe before packing up and going on our way.

We stayed in the "cabin" with a private entrance. Very charming and comfortable. Liked how breakfast was brought to us each morning.

Great service, clean rooms.

Hospitality and rooms were exceptional. Highly recommend the Inn. We can't wait to go back!

We found the most relaxing country atmosphere, rooms, and innkeeper ever. We love visiting for a getaway weekend. Enjoy shopping in the country store on the grounds also. 5 star in our book.

We came looking to relax and get away. We were not disappointed! The inn at Narrows Creek is a fabulous choice for a quaint getaway!

The rooms were very quaint and rustic. They were decorated exactly as you would picture a rustic cabin to be. The country store was fabulous! I recommend it to all.

A country home with a country store displaying unique primitive folk art, furniture, and americana. A beautiful country setting, quiet and excellent food for breakfast served in our bedroom by the owners wife.

Gas fireplace and hottub made room romantic. Americana theme followed in all details even in breakfast plates and coffee mugs added charm to this cozy inn. Beautiful grounds, too.

We had the perfect getaway, stress-reliever weekend. Everything was perfect. Breakfast, the room, the shop, and the dogs!

Clean, beautifully decorated, grounds outstanding, breakfast delicious. What more can you ask for?! Elk viewing nearby—Wild! Host and Hostess are very knowledgeable and hospitable. Beautiful gift shop!

Excllent b&b. Great food. Very attractive and comfortable rooms.

We had a wonderful stay delightful room, excellent breakfast, loved the woods

The room was very charming, with all furniture and decorations consistent with country theme. food was excellend. It would have been nice to have coffee cream or half and half with our coffee. Powdered creamer isn't acceptable.

We rate teh Inn at Narrows Creek a 5 star bed and breakfast. This was our third time staying there. We love the country style decore. Rooms, grounds, and store. Linda, the innkeeper, couldn't be a better hostess. Highly recommend.

We stayed at Narrowscreek for our 6 year anniversary. We stayed in the cabin. It was great! The room is very spacey. I loved the rustic, country decor. The bed was comfortable. The breakfast was excellent. It was a perfect escape for a fall weekend. The grounds are beautiful. My favorite part is the country store attached to the B&B. I would highly recommend this B&B. I was concerned that there was not much to do in the surrounding area but we found fun.

Wonderful b&b; great accomodations, good service, extremely comfortable and clean.

The breakfast served in our room was wonderful!!

This Inn sure did set the gold standard for us on this trip. Everything was great and the grounds were superb ... the only thing that was "different" was that we had our breakfast served in our room since there was no common dining area. We always enjoy meeting other travellers for breakfast and sharing our adventures and this wasn't possible ... everything else was absolutely first class and what a B&B should be ..
