My new family (in-laws) decided to have a family reunion in a "central" location to celebrate "grandma's" birthday. About 24 people from 3 generations descended upon the Canna Country Inn for a weekend reunion in mid June.
First, the location was great. About 2 miles off Interstate 83, the inn was very easy to get to, but, amazingly, you feel like you worlds away out in the country and not 10 minutes outside of downtown Harrisburg. There's not a lot of open land on the Inn's property, but enough for outdoor games, and a wooded area with trails, a hammock, and very cool "spots" that could be quite romantic.
We took over the entire Inn, a huge refurbished barn. I think there were about 8-9 bedrooms, just about as many bathrooms, and only 2 adult-kids had to sleep on couches. No one complained in the least. There are a two complete living complete spaces (kitchens, dinning areas, and living room spaces) and there was a loft area with a bar, pool table, pinball, air-hockey, and another room in the loft area with seating. All in all, there was plenty of space and spaces for more intimate conversations without feeling like everyone had to be in the same area at the same time. This was perfect for the family get together.
I highly recommend this place for gatherings of of about 20-25 people, even if they like to party. I can't say how it operates as a BB, but the quality of the beds and bathrooms, as well as general decorations was near topnotch.
As they say, just like fish, family stinks after three days, but for two nights here, everyone had a great time. read more
