Bonsai Returns to Hershey Gardens

For the fourth year in a row, the ancient horticultural art of bonsai returns to Hershey Gardens. This exhibition was developed by Craig George, the husband of Annville Inn B&B's innkeeper, Rosalie. As Director of the Gardens, Craig wanted to find a new use for the butterfly house while butterflies were absent for the fall and winter season. The bonsai exhibition has grown in quality year after year, and this season's display is expected to be...stunning.

Ever since we opened, we have had a steady stream of guests staying at Hershey's Annville Inn Bed & Breakfast, and making a pilgrimage to Hershey Gardens. You can find out more such as hours the day you plan to go by visiting: http://www.hersheygardens.org.

Valentines Weekend is here. Reserve now for NEXT YEAR!

Valentine's Weekend is always a special time at Annville Inn Bed & Breakfast. This weekend, we have guests staying here from as far west as Los Angeles, California and as far east as the Philadelphia suburbs. One couple, David and Samantha, are here for their fourth weekend with us! We love our guests and appreciate the many guests who return to us time and again, such as David and Samantha. We have two Inn photographs on today's blog posting. The first shows how Rosalie set her table this morning for Valentine's. The china she selected is used only two times a year, Valentines' Day being one of them. It is over 100 years old, from her Grandmother, who brought it from Europe (it was made in Great Brittan.) The other image is one Craig made late this summer of the Inn all socked in with fog, which rolled down from the Gap in the Blue Mountains and cradled the Inn in its mist until the sun came out and evaporated it shortly before breakfast. Rosalie got to enjoy it when she rose early to fix breakfast. Her guests slumbered quietly as the fog slowly rolled in, enveloped the Inn and the surrounding fields and barns, and then as quickly left--it was quite magical.
