Imagine That....

This was where Squire Miller and his family lived. 

Today, this room bears the name of the "1757 Dining Room."  Still boasting the original plank flooring, along with an original door and lock-(the owners say it's the best one in the house!) it offers the hallmark in superb dining experiences.

With a grander way of living in these modern times of ours, it is hard to believe a family of seven could have been raised in such close living quarters, but fortunately for our patrons, it is the perfect setting for those special occasions. Think romance, think quaint and cozy,  and be surrounded completely by history and nostalgia.  

 Many a muse has been shared in this room over the years, but of course while comfortably enjoying a fabulous meal that even the Squire would have been proud of! 

 Check out our delicious menu selections thoughtfully chosen to please even the most discerning palates.  

Getting Ready for Pippinfest!

Put it on your calendar! For those of you that aren't familiar, Pippinfest is an old-time country street festival celebrating the Pippin apple and featuring arts & crafts, apple products, live country music, antiques, vintage cars and great food! It takes place all along main street in Fairfield. 

The Inn will be hosting a bluegrass band, participating in the community yard sale on Saturday and of course, we will be serving our famous turkey legs! Don't forget to stop by and say hello and while you're at it, have a cup of hot cider or an order of pumpkin fritters. 

For more information on the festival itself, call 717-642-5640. 

The Journey Through Hallowed Ground

Hello everyone!  It's been a whirlwind week as usual and it seemed to slip by without some sort of update on the latest happenings going on here at the Inn-so sorry!  So, here is a quick update:  our Innkeeper just returned from a seminar at the David Wills House which covered lots of ground; 180 miles worth to be exact-and she did it in just one afternoon.  In anticipation of the 150th anniversary celebration of the American Civil War, participants studied and familiarized themselves with "The Journey Through Hallowed Ground: which stretches from Gettysburg, Pennsylvania through Frederick County, Maryland and ends at Thomas Jefferson's Monticello near Charlottesville, Virginia. The main objective of all this, of course it to be able to offer, you, our guests, the most positive and memorable experience possible.  For more information, please contact Andi Amin at the Inn. 717-642-5410 and she will be happy to share more with you regarding our National Heritage Area and National Scenic Byway.

It's a Cream of Broccoli Soup Kind of Day!

I overheard Chef Sal muttering under his breath that today is putting him in a "fall" sort of mood.  Now it's all starting to make sense; all that fresh broccoll I saw him chopping as I walked past the kitchen is going into the most fabulous and fresh cream of broccoli soup.  Come grab a bowl!

Early Saturday Morning....

It's a beautiful morning here in Fairfield, the sun is beginning to peak over the nearby freshly mowed hay fields as a symphony of birds and crickets serenade us into the new day.

We are expecting a full house this evening and always enjoying hearing about how everyone will spend their time in the area.  Some are here to celebrate special events such as weddings, reunions and birthdays.  Others are here to immerse themselves in the fascinating history at every turn.  This past week, the Inn had the distinct pleasure of entertaining a travel writer on assignment from USA today.  We are honored to share that Ray left us with some wonderful words of praise in our guestbook.  "What a place!  So many thanks.  Good food, good people, good accommodations, fantastsic history."
Equally as charming a few weeks back, the Inn hosted a mother who needed to meet an important report deadline for her job.  Knowing it would be impossible to focus with her 5 and 7 year old daughters close at hand, she made the decision to "rough it" with us (with her husband's blessing of course) where she could complete her work uninterrupted.  (And heck, it didn't hurt that she got it done in beautiful surroundings, wink,wink!) She emerged triumphant the next day, her mission accomplished. "Why stay in a boring hotel with no character when you can be pampered here?" she exclaimed.
Well, if you were here right now, you would be enjoying a big plate of home made, thick cut french toast with the most delicious seasoned link sausages you've ever tasted  and farm fresh cantaloupe garnished with mint from our herb garden, sipping a delicious steaming hot cup of fresh brewed coffee. 

Why don't you just clear your calendar and join us for a relaxing weekend, or midweek getaway?  Check out what everyone is talking about.  You deserve it! 

Cheers from your friends at the Fairfield Inn.
