Detailed Reviews
My husband and I stayed at Mansion District Inn this past weekend for a getaway to Northern PA and Kinzua Bridge. We had a fabulous time, and the Inn is beautiful. Holly, the Innkeeper, is an amazing person and exudes a beautiful energy. She is so welcoming, knowledgeable, talented, intelligent, accommodating and KIND – everything you could want in an innkeeper and person. Upon check-in, our names were on the “Welcome” board – a sweet touch. The Inn itself is lovely and has such a neat history. My husband and I enjoyed exploring the home and all its detail. The majority of the home is still original from 1891. We stayed in the McCandless suite, and it has every accommodation needed for a comfortable stay – including a stocked mini fridge and snacks, robes, ample seating areas, comfortable bedding, several TVs and environmentally-friendly bath products. Breakfasts served by Holly were a highlight! Holly accommodated our vegetarian request with ease – with much of the food and garnishes coming from her garden. I am still thinking about the amazing quiche and apple pastries! 😊 Holly also gave us excellent restaurant recommendations. We’d highly recommend both Table 105 and 4 Mile Brewing (Olean, NY) for dinner when in the area. The Inn is also in a central location to Kinzua State Park (the reason for our trip) and we HIGHLY recommend a visit to the Kinzua Bridge overlook and the hike below the bridge. It’s so cool that they allow you to hike through the wreckage and up to the other side. The views from the overlook are outstanding.
Overall, we enjoyed our time in PA Wilds immensely, look forward to returning and will absolutely stay at Mansion District Inn when we do.
Holly – Thank you for everything. It was a sincere pleasure to meet you, and we look forward to our paths hopefully crossing again in the future!

My husband and I spent two nights at the Mansion District Inn for our anniversary in April 2022. Holly made our arrival warm and personal. We were given a brief history of the house and offered a complimentary drink. Scotch (which happened to be the original owner's preferred drink) wine, coffee, tea and homemade cookies in the parlour! We stayed in the McCandless Executive Suite. The bed was comfy with a window seat and a double sided electric fireplace which was shared with the sitting room. Holly's breakfasts were awesome. Both days we were treated to a different delectable meal. A meal because you certainly do not walk away hungry from breakfast! Thank you Holly for a pleasant, quiet stay. Kelly and Rich

We wanted to explore the Kinzua Sky Bridge and surrounding park and since this would put us 4+ hours from home, wanted a place to stay over night. The Mansion District Inn was a wonderful find. The other reviews guided us and we could not agree more with their assessments. The Innkeeper, Holly, was a delight as was her unbelievable excellent breakfast. The decor of the Inn was very Victorian and the modernized shower in our suite (Dr. Freeman) was a treat. Other thoughtful amenities includes water/soft drinks in our room and snacks, wine, scotch, and cookies available at various times. We felt very pampered. A great place. Remember to have your cable password with you so you can access the Roku in your room.

Nicely kept and appointed inn with wonderful amenities. The inn itself is spectacular with very nicely done furnishings and artwork. The suite is large and there is a surround sound stereo, but we couldn’t figure it out. The bed is comfortable and overall everything was great. There is a small fridge in the room and it was stocked Ickes with a few complementary drinks.
A few minor issues not the innkeepers fault- there is only one pretty bad Chinese restaurant in town or a supermarket which has a deli. There is a franchise pizza place as well. You have to park in back and it’s not an easy hike up to the front door.
Breakfast was fantastic and prompt. I give kudos to a woman owned business that was able to survive in these difficult times please support her by staying here.
This is. A very scenic area and in close proximity to the kinzua skywalk and other day to do trips.

We spent two nights at the Inn and had an exceptional stay. It was like stepping back in time. The Inn is decorated in period furniture. Our host, Holly, made us feel at home and gave us suggestions on what to see and where to eat. She is also a wonderful chef who made amazing breakfasts. We highly recommend staying there.

Great staff-including someone to take bags to room and then back to street. Wine and scotch/bourbon and cookies in late afternoon/evening. We had a 2 room suite. Large rooms and the furnishings were just outstanding along with the total restoration! Roku and tv in each room plus refrigerator with beer and water and bottled tea. Snacks also available n
Wonderful breakfast.

Super bed and breakfast with exceptional host and breakfast!! Would recommend to anyone headed this way in the fall season. Learned a little history about the area and spent some time with a very welcoming host. Scotch, wine, snacks and cookies to welcome us were a nice touch

Mansion District Inn B&B is everything we wanted and more, all within a short drive from Pittsburgh - a comfortable room with all the amenities we expected, a superb breakfast, and an exceptional host. Learning the history of the house and furnishings is a playground for the curious mind. If you are like us and many others, Holly's breakfast will be the perfect start to your day. Her service and genuine care for helping us plan our activities was outstanding. The location is a wonderful place for a stress-free vacation. Although big cities offer some exciting vacation opportunities, they also bring traffic, crowds and noise. Smethport is a walkable small town with friendly people. At the Mansion District Inn, you have easy access to nature trails, parks, small museums, and local events that are ideal for a long weekend of exploration and relaxation.

We recently took a fall foliage trip to the Allegheny National Forest and decided to stay at Mansion District Inn B&B. We decided to stay here because of the excellent reviews that it received. Our host Holly and her husband were excellent. The breakfast was delicious and the property is well maintained and has a lot of history to it. Our room was just lovely. It had a sitting room and a bedroom. The sitting room came equipped with a nice selection of movies on DVD. A nice selection of snakes and beverages was provided. The library downstairs had a nice selection of books and games were available to play. We had a very nice stay and would recommend staying here.

The mansion has been meticulously restored to its 1880s character and our room had an appreciated modern walk in tiled shower with a "shower system" providing outstanding comfort. Rooms have small stocked refrigerators, TV and Wi-Fi. The first floor is for the use of guests and features beverages and multiple rooms for sitting including a wonderful outdoor porch. The owner's hospitality was wonderful and she talked about the history of the house and the area. Her gourmet breakfast featured eggs from prized chickens from the grounds! (btw, the free range chickens comfortably distanced from the house). The neighborhood features a walking tour of other historic mansions. It is well worth going out of one's way to stay here!

The Mansion District Inn is a great value. We will continue to return here and always look forward to the personal service and Holly’s five-star breakfasts! No place like it.
Yes, but there are two other properties nearby. One of them on the nearby lake.
