    Rented the Orris House Inn for a very special family event and it's sucess was due to the advice and service that Kevin and his crew provided. All of the arrangements were made from out of state and the first time we saw the Inn was the morning of the event. It was everything we hoped it would be. Kevin has a beautiful Inn and has done everything right !!! We spent the night as well and the experience was amazing....it is the total package!!!

    My wife and I stayed at the Orris House for Valentine's Day. There is no better place in Central Pennsylvania to stay the night in Central Pennsylvania. My wife and I felt so relaxed and at home during our stay. We really appreciated Kevin Jackson's, (Innkeeper) friendship during out stay and we will recommend this establishment to all of our family and friends. Thank you for a wonderful stay.

    Truly the best bed and breakfast stay we've had.

    The house itself is beautiful and lovingly maintained; the decor is perfect-- historically accurate, but not "over the top;" our host was unbelievably gracious and generous.

    My husband and I stayed only one night, but it was very romantic and relaxing. We were treated as if we were royalty. The room was very clean and very comfortable. We had a good night sleep and woke to excellent coffee and a gourmet breakfast. We would definitely visit again!
