We dismantled our large 20-year-old Hanging Gardens Pergola in March. Now building a brand new one for our Guests.*
Our Swimming Pool Opens in a Few Weeks!
Spring Bulbs and Flowering Shrubs Are Thriving at Annville Inn
Every Graduation week and weekend, from area high schools to 
Lebanon Valley College Grads’ families, we are pleased to host the graduate’s relatives when out of town family and friends need lodging, relaxation and breakfast while supporting their graduate.
◊
Remember what Mom wants for Mother’s Day…experiences, not “things.” Surprise Mom with a getaway from her normal routine, and let her enjoy our quiet country Inn, described in a review as “The Iconic Annville Inn, first class, stunning views, wonderfully comfortable, spotlessly clean, spectacular breakfasts and incomparable hospitality.” Call us for a special gift certificate for your Mother’s Day Gift: (717) 867-1991.
◊
Not only will our swimming pool be opening early May, but Mother Nature has been at work since before April pushing up thousands of bulbs throughout our three-acre botanical garden, which we created just for our Guests.
◊
One of our Guests who has stayed with us many times, penned in their room register:
“There’s nothing like springtime and summer at Annville Inn. We love all the early blooming flowers, and your huge collection of stunning roses that steal the show! That, plus the Guest rooms, common rooms, breakfasts…pool and theatre and on and on…all reasons why we always reserve two to three weekends every spring and early summer.”
◊
We also have a number of friend groups who book the entire Inn and enjoy time with one another. Some love our magical Christmas when the Inn is decked out in holiday splendor. Others can’t wait for summer to dive into the pool.
◊
The majority of our Guests are couples who come here for relaxation, inspiration and of course…romance (not to mention a great night’s sleep in a deeply relaxing bed and a fabulous candle-lit breakfast!)♥
We hope to see you soon!
Rosalie
