An 18th Century Tavern Inn in Historic Bedford, PA

This gracious Pennsylvania bed & breakfast for sale, the Golden Eagle Inn, is located in Bedford, a quaint village with a vibrant "main street" and attractive neighborhoods of historic homes. 2 ½ hours from Washington DC, Bedford has been an important settlement since its founding as a British outpost in 1751. Washingtonians have been vacationing here for generations. Visitors come to this historic region to enjoy covered bridges, antique shops, festivals, bike trails and gorgeous scenery. An excellent golf course and premier spa are just outside of town and the Inn’s guests stroll to restaurants and shops. The Golden Eagle Inn has been providing hospitality since the 1790s. As the leading historic bed and breakfast inn in Bedford County, the Inn has earned an enduring reputation for gracious hospitality.

Oralee Kieffer, the owner of this handsome Federal brick mansion, undertook major renovations in 1990, stripping away generations of “improvements” to uncover its true character. Electrical systems, plumbing, heating, cooling, and fixtures were then rebuilt. The result is an Inn that is both formal and intimate, combining authenticity with modern conveniences. The dining rooms are among the most romantic you will find anywhere, and the fully equipped commercial kitchen, designed by and for a chef, is spotless, efficient, and ready to handle the volume of special events and catering. The 12 guest rooms are appointed with gleaming bathrooms, central air conditioning, and a delightful array of antique furnishings. A large enclosed porch is the three season scene of breakfast and afternoon tea. This 9,500 square-foot building includes an owners’ suite, offices, a conference room, and much more.

Owner Oralee is a vivacious 70-something chef and Innkeeper who has run the Inn single-handedly for 20 years. She agrees that a younger set of Innkeepers with modern marketing savvy and a love of cuisine will quickly tap the Golden Eagle’s potential. Oralee would like to retire while she is still young! The Golden Eagle Inn is an exceptional value. The price includes a complete inventory of equipment and furnishings. Inquiries are welcome!
