Grape Arbor B&B

North East, Pennsylvania.

Two historic neighboring 1830s brick mansions. Elegant rooms and suites with private baths, antiques, some with Jacuzzi or private entrance. Four-course breakfast and many special touches.

Bed and Breakfast Description

The Grape Arbor Bed and Breakfast consists of two side by side mansions: the Bester Town Home (circa 1832) and the Hampson Home (circa 1835).

Our beautifully decorated rooms and suites, named after varieties of grapes, are yours to enjoy as you would your own home. All guest rooms have private baths, color television and VHS players, and are appointed with comforters, antique/reproduction furnishings and fine toiletries. Enhanced amenities, such as Jacuzzi tubs and fireplaces are available in select rooms.

Suites in the Hampson Home are equipped with individual refrigerators stocked with bottled water, fruit juice and sodas, as well as coffee/tea setups. Relax to soothing music played by CD players in each suite. Rooms in the Bester Town Home share a guest refrigerator on the first floor stocked with complementary beverages, alongside a cookie jar always filled with home baked treats.

Relax with a glass of local wine in the well-appointed Library or in a comfortable rocking chair on the front porch. The Parlor has a comfortable conversation area, a perfect spot for socializing with other guests or enjoying daily hors d'oeuvres.

The Dining Room has a carved fireplace mantel, built-in china cabinets, dark stained hardwood floors, and a large antique sideboard with an interesting history. An Oriental patterned rug sets off the intricately inlaid table. An alternative to the more formal Dining Room, the Sun Porch is a light and airy room with a full view of the gardens.
