THE HARVEST INN
is a stately Victorian
era Bed and Breakfast that has long been one of the
social and architectural centrepieces of Honesdale.
Originally the Sarah Miller House, built in 1897, it
is ideally located in the historical residential
district. It is currently one of the homes featured
in the
Self-Guided Walking Tour of Honesdale,
published by the
Wayne County Historical Society.
  
THE HARVEST INN
is
distinguished by
its classic columns and handsome wrap-around porch.
Relax on the porch swing, where you can close your
eyes and imagine what it must have been like to live
back at the turn of the century. Inside you will
find a welcoming fireplace where you can enjoy a cup
of coffee or tea to take the chill off the cooler
months. Upstairs you will find bright and
comfortable rooms, each with a private bath, TV,
telephone (local calls are always free), a/c, heat
and fresh flowers. In the dining room your breakfast
usually consists of coffee, tea, fresh fruit, juice,
pastries, cereal, yogurt, French toast or pancakes
with local maple syrup, muffins, bacon or sausage
and eggs.
Surrounded by ancient
maple trees (Honesdale
is sometimes referred to as the Maple City) and one
Gingko (the only one in Honesdale),
THE HARVEST INN
is within walking
distance of the main part of town where you will
find many quaint stores, restaurants, a farmer's
market and antique shops. Did you know "WINTER
WONDERLAND" was written on Church Street or that
Honesdale is the birthplace of the first American
commercial railroad? You can still relive the
experience of the
Stourbridge Iron Railroad or visit the
museum to learn more.
THE HARVEST INN
is also a short drive
from Lake Wallenpaupack and some of the best ski
areas.
