Susquehanna Manor Inn

When we found ourselves needing to go to the Columbia, PA area, we had no iea where to stay but I found the Susquehanna Manor in a Google search. What a lucky find that was. The room was lovely and the breakfast was out of this world. It was both delicious and plentiful so we could go about our days and not have to worry about eating until dinner. Thanks to Rachel our trip was really wonderful.

This is such a beautiful place, the hosts are so so friendly, the food is delicious, the rooms are beautiful, the history is rich, the conversations meaningful, and it was a fascinating mix of welcoming kindness and thoughtful beauty! I would highly recommend staying here!

My family booked Susquehanna Manor Inn Bed and Breakfast for a holiday event from 12/31/23-01/02/24. My 87-year-old grandfather-in-law spent $3,000 so that we could enjoy the holiday together. Unfortunately, all did not go as planned. Around 1 AM on New Year's Day, we found live bed bugs in the Marrietta room and the Quinten room. After the bed bugs were found, one family from our party left and booked a new hotel room around 2 AM on their own dime. The rest of us checked out early and spent the next 24-48 hours washing and cleaning everything we brought into the Bed and Breakfast. Some items were not salvageable and had to be thrown out. Our weekend was ruined. We contacted the owner, Rachel Patterson, and asked for a full refund. Not only did she refuse to give my grandfather-in-law his money back, but she told us there was nothing she could do for us at all. No discounts. Nothing. I never leave negative reviews, but here we are. It was clear that she (or someone from her team) knew about the bed bugs. (See pictures). They still rented the house to us without a word. We gave her several opportunities to make it right, but she refused. I do not recommend staying here.

What more can I write that hasn't been written?! Wonderful stay, wonderful meals, wonderful host. Stayed for 2 nights for a wedding nearby, Will be back for sure. Thanks Rach for the hospitality and conversations. Keep Rockin, Roberto

We stayed one night at Susquehanna Manor - Rachel let us leave our car early in the day before check in while we rode the bike trail and then we relaxed on her beautiful front porch until our room was ready. Beautiful home, best shower ever! Breakfast the next morning was delicious and she was flexible on timing. Really enjoyed "porch sitting" with beverages! Definitely will come again, would recommend for anyone biking the trails in the area. She also told us about a great winery (5 miles away) Nissley Vineyards - very good wine, beautiful atmosphere. Will return to hear their live music on weekends. Thank you Rachel!

It was SUCH A DELIGHT to stay at the Manor this weekend! The warm and inviting atmosphere they have created there was such a nice change of pace from the city where we live. Our group was impressed with the history of the Manor itself. There were so many nooks and crannies- I think we all got lost at one point or another! SO FUN! We are a large group of 12 and there were enough beds to sleep all of us! It's much bigger than it looks in the photos. The owner does live on the 3rd floor, but it was no bother at all. They have to be close to cook breakfast, right? The owner was very accommodating and allowed us to take over the kitchen and grill our own dinner. They have a combo grill, both propane and charcoal. Propane is provided but you need to bring your own charcoal. The dining area was large enough to fit us all very comfortably. There is a separate more formal room for breakfast, too. The coffee selection was good and they even have a little fridge for the creamers right next to the coffee station which is a really nice touch! They even have the good GOOD creamers, LOL. It rained in the evening but that was no matter- the covered porch was a wonderful space for relaxing. There were fire pits in the yard and one propane fire pit on the porch, but there was no propane for that one, which was a bummer. House doggo Buttercup WAS THE BEST!!!!! She is so friendly and helped make it even more like a home away from home. The water was so HOT and the water pressure in the Rose Bath was AMAZING. We wished so much that it wasn't raining in the evening as there is a huge yard space with lights that was just charming! There is a little pond behind the property which adds even further to the ambiance of the whole location. The bed I slept in was more comfortable than my bed at home- I didn't want to leave! For an older home, there were plenty of outlets for the 21st century traveler, which is a huge plus!
