    Celebrating 103 years, the Inn at Starlight Lake is located in beautiful northeastern, Pennsylvania. This historic bed and breakfast is a haven for families that need a peaceful getaway at a country inn. Craving fun and adventure? Swimming, biking, fishing, canoeing, and cross-country winter skiing are only a few of our area's attractions. Stay inside and read a good book, watch a movie, or play a game of billiards - or just sit on the airy front porch and watch the world go by. The Restaurant at the Inn at Starlight Lake features exceptional cuisine from our award winning culinary staff and an appealing wine list. The Inn is pet friendly! Single and double occupancy rooms are available, in the main house or three cottages. Bring your kids along; there's no extra charge for a child in a parent's room. We also offer complimentary meals from the children's menu in our restaurant when the child is with a paying adult. Leave your worries behind; let our family take care of yours

    Very nice.

    December 24, 2012

    My stay here was a very pleasant experience. I was the only guest at the time but still the staff was very friendly and made me feel very welcome. The food was delicious and it was one of the most relaxing experiences I have had. The spa was very nice and reasonably priced. I can hardly wait to stay again.

    Excellent late lunch

    June 11, 2012

    We were on vacation and just riding through the countryside and decided to stop and have lunch at the Inn at Starlight Lake. It was 2 or 2:30. They were in transation between lunch and dinner but the owner said "Come on in and we will give you the bar menu," which was great. We had a very nice lunch and a really nice visit with the owner and some of the staff. Excellent view of the lake, quiet and peaceful. A must if you are traveling through North eastern Pennsylvania and want to spend a weekend in a cabin or inn with excellent meals. Ann and Ed from Florida

    Wonderful Place for a Wedding

    July 15, 2010

    My son has his wedding at the Inn and the staff was very professional and could not have worked any harder. Sari, the innkeeper was attentive and accommodating. The Inn is old, but very quaint. Don't stay here if you need everything perfect; but we loved the rustic, comfortable, beautiful lake setting.
