Review The Gatehouse Country Inn Bed and Breakfast, Shawnee on Delaware, PA

Photo Album

Enjoy your complimentary breakfast in The Great Room--where in bygone days the fancy horse carriages were housed.  Sit at your private table and look out over the flagstone courtyard--complete with a three storey round icehouse--to the pristine forests on the mountain beyond.The Carriage Room, decorated in family antiques, offers you light and comfort with a queen size bed, balcony overlooking the mountain beyond and your own private bath.
The Courtyard Room has a king size bed (and an additional double bed for another family member). A seating area gives you space to enjoy a conversation or a cool drink.  You also have your own private bath.  Sorry, no children.
