    my wife and I arrived late following a musical at PSU and Nancy came to the front door with a warm welcome. The home is beautiful and the accommodations were very pleasant. The third floor was pretty chilly but the bed was very comfy and the bedding was really cozy. Breakfast the following morning was very good and special care was given to prepare an excellent gluten free, dairy free breakfast for my wife. Wish we would have had more time to spend but will plan on coming back.

    My mom and I recently stayed at the Queen B&B for the Victorian Christmas celebration in Bellefonte. The inn was beautifully decorated for Christmas and our host Nancy was gracious and welcoming. The inn is close to town and there is free parking in front. She prepared a wonderful breakfast for us and honored our special dietary requests. The room was large but still cozy with a gas fireplace and cast iron tub. We had a lovely experience at this B&B.

    Our stay at the Queen was absolutely wonderful!! We had a great time. We wished we had more time to spend at the Queen during our stay but enjoyed every minute while we were there. My sister, cousin and I were in the area to do family genealogy so we were on the go! I would love to come back and stay for a more relaxing visit. The Queen was so welcoming and beautiful. We loved the antiques, collection of Santa's, beautiful decor, breakfast and staff. Mae was wonderful and we enjoyed talking to her! Nancy was unable to be at the Queen during our stay so we missed seeing her. All three of us said that we'd have to go back sometime. This was my first time at a bed and breakfast and loved every minute of our stay! Thank you Mae for making our stay great dispite the rain!!

    Innkeeper Response
    Thank you so much. I totally enjoyed meeting the three of you. I hope you get to come back soon and stay longer this time.
