“A perfect place for those who
appreciate the graciousness and enchantment of another time.”

The Brooke Mansion, is the only known Bed and Breakfast attributed to renowned architect Frank Furness. Elaborate displays of fine ornate woodwork and creative architectural design are found throughout the 42 room mansion. 

Constructed in 1888 as a wedding present for his wife by industrialist Edward Brooke, the three-story mansion contains a magnificent foyer with grand staircase, stained glass, ironwork, and a circular rose wood library all of which are outstanding examples of Furness’s suburban architecture.

All rooms have private baths, some with original claw-foot tubs.

The inn is a few minutes drive to antiquing in Adamstown, Morgantown or Kutztown, as well as the Reading Outlets, and nearly attractions such as Hopewell Village, St. Peter’s Village, Nolde Forest, and French Creek State Park and the Amish Country.
