    My wife and myself stayed there 12 years ago on our wedding night and on our 1 year anniversary. Just stayed this past weekend and still love the bed and breakfast. The owner is great and makes the best breakfast / French toast. I would highly recommend!

    Kanaga House is a nicely kept up home with beautiful large rooms. We were only there for one night, but would definitely stay there again. Breakfast was delicious and very filling, and included a fresh fruit salad, english muffins, egg bake, juice and coffee.

    We had a very nice stay at the Kanaga B&B. The room was spacious and pleasant. Breakfast was not inspired.

    We found Kanaga House as an alternative to hotels when attending a conference in Mechanicsburg. It met our expectations. Dave, our host, was very friendly and produced a wonderful breakfast to set us on our way. We would highly recommend Kanaga House.
