New Website for the Historic York Inn

We have good news for people who would like a tour of The Historic York Inn / Smyser-Bair House Bed & Breakfast before booking a room, but who live out of state and can’t make it.

The Historic York Inn has a new website!

Visit www.yorkinn.info to visit the brand new site. There, you can learn all about the inn and its history, all the way back to Dr. Henry Smyser who owned the place in the 1800s.

The website also includes a detailed “virtual tour” that allows a peek into each bedroom as well as the common rooms, such as the parlor, dining room, and balcony.

And you’ll find local points of interest, historic details about the house, and more.

Once you’ve made your decision, you can:

• give us a call (717-814-9INN);
• send an email (YorkInn@gmail.com);
• make your reservation and payment right on the website(www.yorkinn.info/reservations.html); or

Welcome to the virtual Historic York Inn. The door is open at www.yorkinn.info.

Stay in our Mansion for the Mid-Atlantic Garden Show!

The Historic York Inn is proud to be on the preferred list of places to stay for the Mid-Atlantic Garden Show.

The big event takes place from February 28 to March 2. But you’re welcome to extend your stay to enjoy other area sights and still take advantage of our special Garden Show rate.

The Garden Show features enchanting display gardens, thousands of flowers, a bustling garden market, workshops and free seminars, musical entertainment, and a Standard Flower Show. It's a must-see for all gardeners!

We’re excited to open our historic, Victorian mansion to you. Last year, we were on the York Home and Garden Tour, and we’re also on the York Historic Walking Tour. Ask anyone who knows the history of York about the Smyser house or the Smyser-Bair house, and they’ll tell you exactly where it is. You can read more about the mansion and its history in the posts below.

We have reserved rooms for Garden Show exhibitors and visitors for 2008 at a special Show price of $75 per night, which includes a hot, home-cooked breakfast. Be sure to mention the Mid-Atlantic Garden Show to reserve your room at this discounted price.

Call this Historic, Luxury Mansion Your Home

This amazing mansion was recently featured on national television for its rich history and luxurious charm. Now, we're opening this luxury mansion to you!


Rooms and suites, furnished and unfurnished, long-term and short, are available in this historic mansion on South Beaver Street in the historic district of downtown York, Pennsylvania.


Walking distance from the historic market, visitors’ center, historic theaters, museums, new baseball stadium, shops, office and government buildings, the college, rail trail, park, even the Articles of Confederation – in the center of it all.


Living in luxury can be more affordable than you think. Nightly rates rival those of corporate hotels, but what you find here is much more impressive than anything you’ll find at your average hotel.


There are a number of options available. Rent a room, 2-bedroom suite, or 3-bedroom suite, complete with antique furniture and decorations, or unfurnished if you prefer. There's also a downstairs office or bedroom with a separate entrance in a commercially zoned area.


Utilities -- gas, electric, and water -- are included in the rent prices. And living in living in historic luxury like this is more affordable than you may think.


All renters are granted shared access to large dining room, eat-in kitchen, and the elaborately decorated, formal parlor -- as well as laundry and storage facilities in the three-room basement.


The house will impress your friends, family, and visitors. It was featured on the program “If Walls Could Talk” on HGTV on Christmas Eve. The woodwork, hand plastered medallions and molding, herringbone, inlayed floors, stained glass windows, gold-plated, hand-crafted Pier mirrors, antique chandeliers and light fixtures, gasolier, 12-foot ceilings, 9-foot tall windows, curved walls, and elaborate decorations will amaze you.


Short-term stays are fine. This was once a successful Bed & Breakfast, so it's well suited for shorter stays. Coming to town for the Antique Festival or Garden Show, or another of York's popular events? Let us know and we'll reserve a room for you.


The formal parlor is perfect for events as well: readings, meetings, receptions, gatherings, you name it.


Email us for more details. Rooms and suites are available NOW -- whether you want to stay for one year or one night.


See the beautiful pictures and read about the rich history below.


Email us to set up a tour, reserve a room or suite, or ask questions. We look forward to personally welcoming you to the Historic York Inn.
