Lancaster County's Historic Bed and Breakfast Inn
The 8 guestroom Historic Smithton Inn is located in Ephrata, a vibrant town of rustic shops in the geographical center of Lancaster County. Lancaster County is among the top tourism destinations in the country, drawing visitors from Washington, Baltimore, Philadelphia, and New York, who come to explore the area’s museums, amusements and market towns. One such museum is Ephrata Cloister, the restored site of an early American religious community whose members built the Historic Smithton Inn in 1763.
The owners of this landmark property handcrafted every detail, from the fireplaces to the furniture, creating a show place of authentic Pennsylvania Dutch artistry. The spacious guestrooms are decorated in unique eighteenth century inspired motifs and have working fireplaces. The welcoming front hall features a built-in front desk. The gracious living room and romantic dining room feature extra deep window sills and rich woodwork. Thick stone walls assure a quiet night’s sleep. Gardens surround the Inn with the owner’s prize dahlias. Lawns and outdoor seating create a serene retreat for guests and owners. The private owner’s quarters have ample expansion possibilities.
Historic Smithton is ideal for energetic new owners who are ready to renew a lovely, established Inn. The location is excellent, the building and rooms are of elegant proportions and the business viability is proven. A marketing program is needed to improve occupancy and some straightforward maintenance needs to be completed. Business will flourish in this strong tourism market.
The owner of the Historic Smithton Inn is eager to sell due to health concerns. The property is now offered at the greatly reduced price of $389,000, well below market value. The sale price includes the real estate, business and inventory of antique and reproduction furnishings. Inquiries from qualified buyers and their representatives are welcome.
