Hartzell House Guest Comments ** Guest Favorite B & B near Fallingwater, Mill Run, Ohiopyle, Deep Creek Lake

Guest Comments

Guest: Lee and Deanne May 2009 South Plainfield, NJ	The thing that sets a Bed & Breakfast apart from staying in a hotel is intimate charm and individual attention. The thing that sets the Hartzell House apart from other B & Bs is the feeling of kinship. Hosts David and Kitty immediately make you feel as if they’ve gone into business in order to meet you. They have the wonderful knack of being attentive while making themselves scarce. They know and enjoy the area attractions but don’t choreograph your day. Their home is your castle and they exist to pamper you. And if you were not into being pampered, they’d probably be good at that too! That’s how intuitive they are. Inside this stately home, floor to ceiling windows, tasteful furnishings and warm color schemes adorn every room. Plush bedding offers up the most comfortable slumber imaginable. Breakfast menus are placed in the foyer each evening, offering a choice of gourmet entrees along with the time you’d prefer to be served. Freshly brewed coffee is available for self-service in the formal dining room (with walls) flanked with framed art from local professionals and bathed in morning sunlight. Light music adds to the welcoming atmosphere and table conversation. Whether you visit this exquisite region to explore the architecture of Frank Lloyd Wright’s Fallingwater and Kentuck Knob, or to tackle outdoor adventures in Ohiopyle Park, Hartzell House will provide a quiet retreat to complete your day or to revive your spirits before stepping out again.
Guest: Matt and Renata April 26, 2009 Washington, DC	Comments: Thank you so much for a wonderful stay. We had a delightful and relaxing weekend. I must confess the only downside to the stay is that I’m afraid I’ll now be disappointed by every other breakfast I have, because they will never be as delicious as the ones we enjoyed at Hartzell House.
Guest: Bill and Carolyn April 19, 2009 Pittsburgh, PA	Comments: Once again – what a treat it was to stay here for the weekend! Everything from the music to the amazing food – perfection! You are really in your niche here- and we are so excited to have returned again. We wish you the best in expanding your little piece of Heaven. Cant wait to come back a third time and see the end results of all your talent and hard work.

Your B&B is beautiful and we were very comfortable. Your hospitality leaves nothing to be desired. We hope to make it down this way again on our next trip to PA and to stay a little longer with you!
Guest: Bob and Cody K June 22, 2008	Comments: We are not new to the world of B&B travel. You have taken the experience to another level far beyond the typical B&B. The décor of the home, particularly the bedroom, is amazing. The attention to detail is truly impressive. Your selections of music was equally impressive. Our stay has been beyond belief.
Guest: M & K June 22, 2008 Bethesda, MD	Comments: It is a special experience to spend time in the home of artists. You have put time, effort, and love into every detail – from the colors, patterns, and textures on the walls to the cut of the fresh fruit on our breakfast plates – and it shows! We’ve had a wonderful time here, and we leave with our bellies full and smiles on our faces!
Guest: Scott and Roberta June 7, 2008 Philadelphia, PA	Comments:Wow, where do we begin? Thank you for affording us the pleasure of staying at your fantastic home! The moment that we pulled up, we knew we were in for a treat. Your home is breathtakingly beautiful, and the perfection in design and preparation for our stay was amazing and we are so appreciative. Every need and detail is carefully thought out – making it quite apparent that much love and care is put into all that you do. The food was so artfully presented that we were almost afraid to eat… but that did not stop us! The experience was wonderful, a true testament to your devotion and passion. We will recommend the Hartzell House to everyone we know.

Guest: Kristin May 13, 2008 Stafford, VA	Comments:This was my first stay at a Bed and Breakfast, and I am afraid you have spoiled me! I’m not sure any other place will be able to stand up to your graciousness, hospitality, cozy and beautiful house, wonderful food, comfortable bedding, and wonderful amenities. Anything I could have needed was at my fingertips. I will have to bring my husband back someday.
Guest: Blake and Emily May 2008 LaPlore, LA	Comments: Three words to begin with; wonderful, relaxing, and comfortable! Your home is beautiful, your breakfasts, delicious, and your hospitality is the best! You have thought about every detail that would make your guest welcome and both of you make great hosts. We enjoyed talking and visiting. We will definitely be back and tell all out friends and family.

Kitty- thank you for taking the time to make us the lovely spun-sugar, birds nest desserts for out 37th anniversary. I doubt that anyone will be able to surpass them.

Guest: Robert O 07/28/2007	Comments: The innkeepers are real gems, the location is quiet and near lots of activities, the rooms and public spaces are spacious and interesting. They are still renovating the dining room and exterior, but that did not detract from our stay, and the inn will only get better. Plus, the innkeepers are environmentally conscious, an added bonus that makes me feel better about staying there.
Guest: Michael M 07/25/2007	Comments: The Hartzell house is a beautiful and warm place to visit. Kitty and David were friendly and took care of our every need. Breakfast was outstanding. Evening wine and deserts were a bonus. We were pampered and treated like honored guests.
Guest: Mary J 07/03/2007	Comments: The Hartzell House B&B is lovely and inviting. The hosts, Kitty and David were so hospitable. The breakfast was better than the finest restaurant. It was not the usual fare -- they put thought into both the menu and presentation. The house has interesting painting techniques on the walls which make it surely one-of-a-kind. A very quiet street makes it an all-around relaxing and cozy place to stay.
Guest: Francine B 07/01/2007	Comments: FABULOUS PEOPLE! AMAZING FOOD! Gorgeous rooms, comfortable and quiet, lovely company. The location is great for Falling Water and Ohiopyle State Park. Comfortable, gracious . . . are you getting the idea? A definite MUST STAY HERE if you're even THNIKING of this area.
Guest: Rachel D 06/26/2007	Comments: Bliss
Guest: Lori B 06/03/2007	Comments: This was the best get away! Being parents of two young children we need some alone and relaxing time, and we found it here at the Hartzell House. David and Kitty were wonderful. The first night there they offered to make us dinner, so we could relax and not worry about driving anywhere. What a bonus! The service and hospitality was over the top and the decore was beautiful. The location was perfect. Close to an outdoor mecca, beautiful and serene. A Wonderful and relaxing get away.
Guest: Ella V 02/24/2007	Comments: A real find. The exquisite food, which included not only breakfast but dinner, tea and drinks, was a great surprise. Kitty and Dave were the perfect blend of friendliness and hospitality while also providing privacy. A beautiful old house remodeled in keeping with the original style. Close to skiing, rafting, hiking..
Guest: Brandy B 03/12/2006	Comments: The Hartzell House Bed and Breakfast was an elegant escape. The innkeepers were kind, caring and anticipated all of my friends' and my needs. My stay was flawless. Thanks, Kathryn and David!
