There's so much to be said about the Frogtown Inn. To sum it up succinctly, EVERYTHING was…read morefantastic. The owners Mark and Carol were more than accommodating, and they made us feel very welcome during our weekend getaway. The room was spotless and super cozy. We honestly got the best sleep ever as the beds were super comfortable. The included satellite TV service was a nice touch, as we were able to watch some good shows while unwinding from our day. The included breakfast was absolutely fantastic. Everything was super fresh and it screamed top quality ingredients. I had gotten the special with truffle and asparagus with home fries and it was VERY good. My lady had scrambled eggs with sausage patties, blueberry pancakes, home fries toast and she loved it as well. That same night we had dinner in the restaurant named Butter, and it was such a treat. The menu is extensive enough to have a variety of options without being overbearing. Dinner was just as amazing as breakfast, and EVERYTHING we had was top tier. We got a Tokyo Mule, the Sidecar, The Margarita Flatbread, the Lobster Campanelle, the Horseradish Crusted Salmon, a Nutty Irish dessert cocktail and an Espresso Martini alongside a dessert (I can't remember which one we shared). We devoured absolutely everything we had. Portions were generous and the flavors were out of this world. Customer service on the restaurant side was also very good. Do note that dinner isn't included in your stay, but I HIGHLY recommend trying the restaurant. Aside from all of the above, I can't overstate how good the customer service was here. Mark and Carol really made this place feel like a second home. The decor also gives that feeling, and it all culminates to being one of the best places I've ever stayed. Don't hesitate. Highly recommended!

Super fun and tasteful decor! Also very warm and welcoming inside as they had the fireplace lit with candles. We were instantly greeted by name and was offered a complementary champagne toast and dessert for saying we were celebrating! We ordered homemade ricotta & bruschetta, both of us got the porck chops, and split the cranberry creme brulee. It was one of the best meals we've both had. We are dreaming about that pork chop, had such delicious flavor, juicy, and decent portions! The mushroom sauce was also super flavorful with the mashed potatoes cooked perfectly. Our waitress was very personable and attentive to us as well. She made small talk and seemed very interested in our day. We would love to consider this place for rehearsal dinner when we have our big wedding in a couple years! Awesome food and place!!!

We made reservations for Saturday night for 4. It is on a windy road up the mountain. Gorgeous but…read morecould use some more signs and lights. The view is 5 stars. The interior not so much. You walk into a big stark room. They had tables pushed back towards the window which was cold looking. So many families with crying kids. Service started slowly. Very small menu and not outrageously expensive. Service got better and the food was ok. Sirloin steak cooked nice but needed better flavor, baked potato small and hard, and asparagus was not grilled kinda steamed. My burrata and pasta was good. I think they need to decide what they want to be. Nothing going on outside on the beautiful deck.

I got the Sullivan Burger, which at $22 I thought would be a satisfying and substantial thing, but in reality it was disappointingly small (and this is saying something for me because I think most American portion sizes are too big). It would have been fine if it were priced more in the mid $10s, but I think this is just a resort gouging a captive audience. Beyond the food, the decor felt like an airport waiting room, and they were playing both music and had the volume up on some insignificant college basketball game, which made for a confusing and loud experience. Skip this bland experience for something better.

I recently had the pleasure of working with Cathy at her venue, Carmen's Country Inn & Gardens, and…read moreI cannot recommend her--or the venue--highly enough. First, Cathy is the epitome of a true professional. If you want someone with deep experience, exquisite taste, a talented team, and impeccable organizational skills, look no further. She's also a delight to work with--gracious, calm, and endlessly accommodating--which made the entire planning process feel effortless and enjoyable. And then there's the venue itself. Carmen's Country Inn & Gardens is absolutely enchanting. The photos online capture its charm, but seeing it in person is something else entirely. With more and more couples seeking weddings in rural Pennsylvania, I can confidently say this is one of the most beautiful, welcoming, and unique venues you'll find.

When we decided to get married and toured the venue, it stood out. The garden area is like a secret…read moregarden with 2 waterfalls and numerous areas for an outdoor ceremony. The indoor area contrats it with an art deco/Great Gatsby/classic Hollywood Glam vibe that we loved at first site! (Take a look at the ornate ceiling tiles!) We chose to have our ceremony and seating set under the pavillion which is concrete and flat. Our wedding was July 6 and with the weather forecast changing throughout the week, high temperatures, elderly, and some disabled guests, we took everyone's safety into consideration to provide cover (and shade) because we wanted an outside ceremony. The beautiful walking path from the center of the property down to the pavillion that gave the perfect grand entrance. There is also a beautiful pond on the property where we did our "first look" prior to our ceremony. For our outdoor cocktail hour, there were areas for seating with tables, a some bar tables, a patio off the bar/pavillion area and others just sat in the chairs from the ceremony to mingle and snack. (The coconut shrimp is fantastic by the way!) For one of our 2 signature drinks, we had the option of Arnold Palmer iced tea that could be spiked. It gave another option to family members that don't drink alcohol and didn't put them into an awkward situation. When we stood infront of the waterfall after we came back from wedding party pictures and were chatting with some of our guests, it turned into an impromptu receiving line where we unexpectedly got many pictures with our guests!  For the inside, don't have the layout fool you. It is a perfect layout! We had tables surrounding 3 sides of what you would think would be the main dance floor (but wasn't used that way). The inside ceiling is always drapped and has uplighting installed so that is one less thing you have to worry about! We had a sweetheart table for us at the top of the dance floor and had an intimate first dance while "dancing on the clouds" and some additional uplighting from DJ, had our matron of honor and best man give their speeches and did our cake cutting there.  We then moved the dancing after dinner and dessert to the other dance floor by having the father-of-the-bride/bride dance along with other dances on the other dance floor by the bar. It was my parents' 40th wedding anniversary on June 23rd and my cousins 50th anniversary on the date of the actual wedding so we extended and dance to them too. It allowed a seamless transition for others to make their way to the other dance floor. We also had 2 extra tables and the photobooth set up near the bar and dance floor to make guests want to be in that area. Also, there is an outdoor patio right outside the dance floor so guests outside getting some fresh air could still feel like they were part of the action. The initial seating for dinner allowed a more quiet area for guests who wanted to watch but have some space too. Our bar package had frozen drinks and top shelf liquor which helped cooling off in the heat. We ended the night with a private couple dance while our guests were assembled outside by the fountain and our marquis leaders for a sparkler send off and photo and video opportunity outside the building. Carmen's Country Inn & Gardens staff treated us like family. Cathy paid attention to all details and made sure our needs were met. She was thorough with timelines and reminders which I appreciated. With so many things going on planning a wedding, careers changes and the nonprofits we volunteer with, she ensured that we were on time and everything was remembered. I received not only a venue and catering package that included a cake, but also a wedding coordinator/Cathy on top of it! With Carmen's having its own bakery and catering, I was able to address ALL food allergies. Cathy ensures that meals are packed for the Bride and Groom to enjoy after the wedding which we truly appreciated. We made lifelong connections with the family and employees at the venue. We are so grateful we picked this venue!
