The room, Carriage House Suite #2(?) was huge and beautifully arranged, with beautiful furniture and all the amenities of home. You can tell that real thought and care went into every detail at the Mansion B&B and the Carriage House suites. As a bonus, the entire mansion was decorated beautifully for Christmas, which made it even more magical. What really made our visit exceptional was the warm hospitality from Jessica and her family. A team who run the property. Shortly after we settled in, they have a Happy Hour and also offered small bites and homemade treats. We were also lucky enough to get a tour of the other rooms in the mansion that weren't yet occupied - each one is uniquely themed, and we're looking forward to our return visit to experience Jessica's superb service and offerings! These thoughtful touches portray the level of care and hospitality that sets the Reynolds Mansion apart. The Reynolds Mansion perfectly balances historic charm with comfort and exceptional personal service. We highly recommend this gem in Bellefonte and can't wait to come back! Our daughter graduates from PSU end of the year, I hope to reserve the entire facility for our family n friends who travel to the graduation.

It was a wonderful three-day stay. Either Phil or Kathy or both greeted the five different groups who arrived at different times from different locations. All our rooms were large and very clean, including all the bathrooms. Phil and Kathy prepared either a full breakfast or just coffee, juice, and buns depending on our other morning plans for meals. They had snacks for us to grab 24/7 if we needed a pickup. Some of us kept wine and other goodies in a refrigerator on the first floor. One group had a 6 AM flight for departure. Kathy even gave that group a snack to take with them. We all loved the beautiful gardens on their property, and the easy one-block walk to downtown Bellefonte with many shops and restaurants. Our stay happened to be during an Arts Festival so we had an unexpected experience shopping for local crafts. The old railroad station and springs are an easy ten-minute walk. When one group left with extra time on their hands, Phil suggested this group stop at the American Philatelic Center on the way to I-99. We all hope to come back for another visit with Kathy and Phil

As we had first met one another in the area, my husband and I recently traveled from CA to PA and…read morespent four nights in the Bellefonte B&B to celebrate our 25th anniversary. Our experience proved extraordinary. Selecting a few bottles of wine from a nearby store, we enjoyed nightly toasts in glasses that Kathy and Phil keep in an antique cabinet in the great room. We feasted on hearty three-course breakfasts every morning, allowing us to replace lunch with ice cream--the Creamery on the PSU campus and Meadows Frozen Custard off Benner Pike are musts. One afternoon as we were tooling around town, we received an email from Phil and Kathy informing us of a free concert that evening at Talleyrand Park. Thus, after sampling delicious supper fare at The Governors' Pub, Mike and I walked across the street, cuddled on a bench, and listened to the Coal Aly Band cover favorite hits as locals danced in the grass and rang a cowbell to "Don't Fear the Reaper." Laughter and positive vibes abound by Spring Creek! When they realized that my husband was waking before most guests to read quietly in one of the home's common areas, Kathy and Phil set up an automatic coffee maker outside the kitchen to be ready in the early hours. They actively inquired as to how they could make our stay more comfortable. A flip-top glass bottle of cold water specific to our room remained filled outside our door as did a selection of sparkling drinks. Learning that we had lived much of our married life in the Deep South, they even chose to include cheese grits as part of the menu on the day of our departure. Keenly attentive, Kathy and Phil delight in honoring all who visit. They exude warmth, and their peaceful demeanors diffuse goodwill. Vacations do not always generate rest, but my husband and I have returned feeling rejuvenated. We are already discussing our next trip to Centre County. Thank you, Bellefonte B&B!

We celebrated our daughter's wedding here this past weekend. Kasey and Billy were incredibly…read morehelpful throughout the entire process, especially with set up and during the wedding. The ceremony was moved inside due to the weather and they set up the space perfectly for the change. I would 1000% recommend this wedding venue.

My husband and I chose Harmony Forge Inn & Barn as our out of state wedding venue for 2 reasons…read more 1.) It doubled as a place to stay for my immediate family who were all travelling from Austin, Texas and 2.) Our ceremony and reception would only be steps away from each other! (easier for guests). The Inn: The mansion is a beautiful 4 bedroom, 4 full bathroom, 1 half bathroom estate complete with parlor, dining room, kitchen (2 refrigerators), and beautiful photogenic staircase. I paid for the full weekend package, which includes all 4 bedrooms and entire house from Friday 8am until Sunday at noon. I also paid for the rehearsal dinner to be held in their dining room area, but once I arrived, the décor in the dining room was too drab for my taste and I ended up setting up in the barn. I would have set up the rehearsal dinner outside, but it unfortunately rained on Friday and Saturday. Some of the old décor is beautiful, but the window treatments and table cloths were just not to my taste and I could not be photographed next to them. However, the wood accents were to die for (staircase)and the house structure was very lovely. The Barn: Perfectly spacious and easy to make glamorous with the right décor. We used globe lights and hung them from the ceiling and it really provided an upscale vibe. I used all real china and glassware, added a few DIY touches like paper flowers, newspaper programs and tall lighted branch centerpieces to execute the look I was going for- rustic glam-it was relatively easy to accomplish. The space can be used for up to 160 guests per the management, but I wonder how crowded that would be. We had a good use of space with 110 guests, but I don't think I would have liked any more people in that size space. (Especially since it rained on my wedding day and we had to set up a temporary ceremony in the dj space in the barn, there definitely would not have been room if we had had any more people. The Cons: 1.) I was very stressed on Friday setting up the barn for the reception. It was hard to get a hold of management for setting up additional tables/chairs. And they forgot a table I requested for the rehearsal dinner I needed for gifts. 2.) Management seemed disorganized. They told me they might rent out the additional room on Saturday night, which I paid for in my full wedding package, until my dad called and they said that was a mistake on their part. They also forgot I had paid for the rehearsal space and I had to remind them. The chairs and tables (they set up) were squished up near the front of the barn and I had to move all the tables back for more room which was time consuming (they set up tables according to your specifications, but it was not like the picture I drew) 3.)The fridges are full of old food which is good or bad depending on who you are, but I would have preferred it empty since how do you know how old that stuff is in there? 4.) THE AC UNITS!!! OMG. They are so loud and the house was SOOOOOO hot. 5.) The barn port-a-potty(ies); I'm not sure we had more than one in operation, I specifically remembered 2 when I visited and it was much larger with 2 stalls, then on my wedding day I only remember seeing one and it was small. I would rate this venue a 3-4/5 based on my experience there, I expected more hospitality. At the end of the day, I felt like we were not super welcome there, more of a nuisance to them. No one really talked to us, or asked us how we were doing during an obviously stressful weekend where all of my plans were literally drowning with the rain. I just expected a little more kindness or at least one conversation with the people who lived there. If you like to be left completely alone, then I'm sure this won't bother you.

We had a 'corner' of the second floor that included our own bathroom and provided quite a bit of privacy if we so wished.  The linens matched the décor, and were soft, smelled OUT of this WORLD, and promoted a great nights rest for us both!   We opted out of breakfast for (2) mornings as we had an AGENDA to be at these yard sales by 0800!! haha   Peggy took it upon herself to make us (2) lunch bags, full of yogurt, sandwich, fruit and all out love for the day!  Our third morning we were blessed to have breakfast with Peggy and 3 other house guests who were also visiting for the yard sale.  You put 5 women at this beautiful breakfast table + Peggy with NO CELL phones.... Provided such a human connection within the 6 of us, it was remarkable!   God willing we will be back - the entire experience was a memory I will never ever forget.

Plenty of big fluffy towels, a bathroom counter and medicine cabinet full of toiletries (including those you may have forgotten!), excellent water pressure, and a very clever "privacy curtain" to wall off the room we were staying in with our bathroom (see picture). Our bedroom had several items of an unusual shade of subtle purple that clearly came from different places and times. "Good eye!" my daughter exclaimed when noticing this, and this is evident throughout the house. Our bathroom had a charming balcony with tables and chairs for lounging in warmer weather (see picture). We really enjoyed our stay and hope to visit again if ever again we're in the vicinity.

Given the circumstances we're living with in 2020, I honestly didn't think I would get the chance…read moreto safely travel again for a couple of years. So when a family member approached me and asked me if I wanted to stay at this inn, I was surprised; but, after learning more, I excitedly said yes. This was the right decision and led to a fantastic and relaxing weekend away from the city. This nature inn sits in Bald Eagle State Park and has 16 guest rooms, a handful of meeting room/library spaces, and is absolutely beautiful. The rooms on one side of the inn overlook a lake, with the other side facing a cluster of trees. My relative and I ended up facing the trees, but we were totally fine with that - especially since the fall foliage was starting to set in. We were on the 2nd floor, so we were able to enjoy the view from a private balcony throughout the weekend; it looked like the 1st floor rooms had little patios instead, so no matter what, guest rooms have some sort of outdoor seating. Normally, guests would all be able to enjoy a communal patio and fire pit here. Granted, some other guests (as it appeared that a large group came here together) did go ahead and enjoy this space. My relative and I did not because avoiding people is a must these days, but still, what we saw of these spaces looked great. Definitely something to remember for the future. Speaking of avoiding people - it's 2020, so naturally, my relative and I were focused on what the inn is doing to protect guests. The answer is, plenty! Cleaning and sanitizing the inn is a big thing, naturally. The small size of the inn definitely helps, as it's not particularly big and doesn't lend itself to the gathering of huge crowds. Masks are a must and for the most part, this rule was adhered to; I passed by a couple of guests that I think just forgot theirs momentarily, but staff definitely took the rule seriously. Their dining room is currently closed - all meals are prepped and offered as take-out or delivery. Fortunately, the rooms include a fridge, so it was super easy for my relative and me to bring snacks and store our leftovers so that we were stocked and well-fed all weekend. Also, while you can request items that you need for your room, daily turn-down service is not happening right now - that way, only guests are in their rooms during their stay. The result was that I felt extremely relaxed while I was in the inn, knowing that my space and health was being respected and taken seriously. A couple of notes - the mattresses here were admittedly very hard and uncomfortable, and while they didn't ruin our stay, it's still nice to have my comfy soft bed back. I don't really hold this against the inn though since, frankly, I think all hotel beds are uncomfortable by default. Speaking of things I don't hold against them - this is a nature inn, so you better expect some of the local wildlife to try to get into your room. When I first opened my balcony door some stinkbugs fell onto me because they had gathered around the door frame - whoops! The good news is that the door itself was very well sealed, so the little jerks couldn't get in when the door was closed. Again, I don't hold that against the inn at all, seeing as it's set right in a state park. Still, I think it's fair to remind other guests and readers that when you visit a nature park, you better be ready to experience everything nature throws at you. If any of this sounded like something you would enjoy, I encourage you to visit the inn's website to learn more about staying here; there is a lot of information there about a range of other topics, such as how the entire facility is designed to be ecologically sound, what to expect when you visit during different seasons, and what sorts of outdoor fun awaits you in the surrounding nature park. I definitely recommend this beautiful inn as a getaway option - now and in the future; and I hope to be back one day to enjoy more of the surrounding area!
