Bed and Breakfast Description

The Pine Crest Inn was constructed in 1906, and has welcomed guests since equestrian Carter Brown converted it to an inn in 1917. It was added to The National Register of Historic Places in 1982. Today, the Inn features 35 comfortable guest rooms; four in the main Pine Crest Lodge and the remainder in ten outlying cottages. Original buildings, including a 240-year-old log cabin, a woodcutter cottage, and a stone cottage, add to its charm.

Reminiscent of an English country inn, the Pine Crest's comforts include supple leather chairs, richly upholstered furnishings, lovely stone fireplaces and natural hardwood floors. Each of our guest rooms has private bath, telephone, television and VCR, and many rooms feature sitting rooms, fireplaces, and whirlpool baths. The Inn also offers an extensive library of books and videotapes to peruse at your leisure.

The culinary team at our AAA Four-Diamond Restaurant caters to your group's schedule and dining needs. Fresh flowers, candlelight, and a crackling fire complete the English Tavern setting and enhance your dining enjoyment. Our Executive Chef prepares inspired cuisine from the freshest ingredients; a feast for both the eye and palate. Our award-winning wine collection offers a variety of select vintages to perfectly compliment your meal.
