Had a great time, was able to walk everywhere I wanted to go. They have large lot for parking. Breakfast was amazing as well.
Home away from home

I travel a lot and stay in many different kinds of lodgings. Because I have to be in and out at odd times to photograph sites nearby, sometimes a chain motel is just easier. But this place was an exception - free easy parking, easy in and out, breakfast when I could have it (extra early 6:30), and a feeling that I was at home. Allyson was great and I'd definitely stay here again. The only reason I didn't give 5 stars across the board is the front room (2) is very noisy because Pottsville drivers don't seem to use mufflers. I'm very sensitive and do travel with a white noise machine; this time I brought two machines because of other reviews about Room 2. Slept pretty well but could hear cars occasionally, and was conscious of streetlight outside. The room itself was great, spacious, all the amenities you could want, tiny but well-designed private bathroom. If you are one of those sleep-through-anything people you'll be fine. The breakfast omelette was delicious and fortified me for the work ahead. Thank you Allyson.

Basically just that. It was very cute and cozy, Allyson was a phenomenal host, and the breakfast was incredible. Would definitely recommend.

Best Get-away Ever!

My husband and I were looking for a short getaway, and had never stayed at a bed and breakfast before. We were drawn to this particular one because of the reviews from other guests reviews. We were not to be disappointed. In fact the reviews far underestimated the wonderful experience staying here. We stayed on the third floor, which was so spacious and charming. It was truly a peaceful getaway, and there was nothing lacking in the hospitality extended. I promise you, she has thought of everything to make your stay fun, and enjoyable..including the home made cookies. Even from advantage of the Yuengling brewery tour and the short drive to Hawk Mtn and Cabela's. Definitely worth another visit!
