    CHECK OUR WEBSITE DIRECTLY FOR AVAILABILITY - at World Wide Web dot Cameronestateinn dot com One of Pennsylvania's most elegant and historic inns in Lancaster County, is secluded on 15 acres of lawns, woods and trout streams. Although very secluded, the Cameron Estate Inn is convenient to the many attractions that make up the unique fabric of historic Lancaster County and is no more than a 20 minute drive to the Amish countryside, downtown Lancaster City, Hershey, York and the state capital, Harrisburg. The elegant mansion that now serves as the Cameron Estate Inn was built in 1805 by Dr. John Watson, greaeat-great-grandfather of President McKinley. Simon Cameron purchased it in 1872, and enlarged and renovated the mansion near Lancaster Pa which was regarded with wonder and admiration by many notables of the post Civil War era. The property is listed on the National Register of Historic Places, and has been designated as a Lancaster Country Heritage Resource and Historic Preservation Trust Site. Also in the immediate vicinity are quaint villages, antique shops, outstanding back roads with covered bridges, wineries, hiking along the Susquehanna River, and championship golf courses. The Cameron Estate is convenient to the American Music Theater and Sight and Sound Theater in Lancaster, Mt. Gretna jazz and chamber music concert series, and the summer concert series at Nissely Winery.

    My husband and I stayed at the Cameron Estate Inn for 6 nights in late May 2011. It's a beautiful place and I hope to be able to return someday. Everyone there was wonderful, very eager to meet every need or request. The Inn is charming. Breakfast was great, each morning. I can't recommend the Cameron Estate Inn more. You won't regret staying there.

    Extremely helpful!

    We knew that the Cameron Inn was supposed to be a wonderful, quiet place to stay but were extremely pleased with how wonderful the staff was as well! Stacy, especially, was extremely helpful and accommodating, going out of her way to give assistance, as my husband was there early to set up to play at a wedding. The service and beautiful, quiet rooms made for a really wonderful weekend away!

    Wonderful winter weekend get away

    My family and I look forward to returning to the Cameron Estate each summer. It's a beautiful, warm and inviting home. The rooms are quaint and very clean, as is the rest of the inn. My daughter would love to get married at the inn one day!

    I am so happy we chose Cameron Estate Inn for our weekend getaway

    As we approached the first anniversary of my father's death, my mother and sisters wanted to get together for a little family time. We came from different locations in Pennsylvania, Maryland and Georgia and met at the Inn on Friday night. Our rooms were beautiful, comfortable, and spacious. The restaurant served a delicious dinner and breakfast, and we were treated wonderfully the whole weekend. The coffee and desserts were especially delightful. The grounds were beautiful even though many of the leaves had already dropped from the trees. It was quiet and elegant, but close to great shopping. We only wish we could have stayed longer. The owners and staff were very attentive and responsive to all our needs. A special thank you to Randy and John for being the most gracious hosts ever!
