Annville Inn Bed & Breakfast
Your Quiet Country Resort Destination in the Hershey PA Region
Welcome to Annville Inn Bed & Breakfast, a unique countryside retreat where gracious hospitality meets effortless convenience. Set amid the peaceful, wide-open spaces of the Lebanon Valley in Central Pennsylvania, our historic B&B offers a tranquil escape just two miles from charming Annville and only moments from Hershey, with Lancaster Amish Country and Harrisburg a short drive away.
Known by guests for its “magical vibe,” The General’s House was originally built as a private retreat by a renowned World War II general. Today, it continues that tradition as your own personal haven and a place to unwind, reconnect, and escape the stresses of the modern world.

Heartfelt Words From Our Guests:
- This is our 2nd visit to the Inn, only three months after our first!Love, love, love everything about here. The people, the décor, the hospitality. My husband and I came here both times to ignite that spark. And, after all the pampering, and comforts we feel here. We leave planning our next trip…and we only live six miles from here!!! But coming here I feel like I enter into a whole new world of peace.
- We have been to many B&B’s all over the east coast and none can top this!Your friendliness and attention to detail and inventiveness are amazing. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Breakfast was outstanding. The grounds are beautiful! It is obvious you enjoy what you are doing, Rosalie.
- One of the best experiences on a vacation we have ever had.Your hospitality is unbelievable. Rosalie, your cooking is amazing. We cannot wait to return. Christmas sounds incredible, and when the weather is warmer, we’ll be back to take advantage of the pool and Craig’s portrait session.
- Experienced B&B Visitors Proclaim Annville Inn the Ultimate!We have stayed in MANY B&B’s in our zillion years of travel and the Annville Inn takes the prize! By far, the cleverest and cleanest with more amenities than anyplace we’ve ever been. Your attention to detail is incomparable. The bar has been set so high that I’m afraid for all other innkeepers in our future. You two are what hospitality truly means.
