Bed and Breakfast Valley Forge Pennsylvania

The Great Valley House of Valley Forge

Historic Bed & Breakfast, Circa 1720

"Did George Washington sleep here?" is a question often asked by visitors to The Great Valley House of Valley Forge Bed and Breakfast. Older than the house George Washington stayed at during the Valley Forge encampment, this 300 year old stone farmhouse is a five minute drive to Valley Forge National Park. The house retains original fireplaces and random-width wood floors. Note the hand forged iron hinges and other historical features which your hostess, Pattye Benson, will be happy to describe. One unique item is an old stone sink, said to be one of only two such pre-1700 sinks in the country. As you enjoy breakfast there may be, depending on the weather, a fire in the old kitchen walk-in fireplace. The fireplace still has its original swing crane and carved in the massive mantle you can see the initials W.T. 1812. Click here to read more about the history of The Great Valley House

The three guest rooms, all with private baths, are hand stenciled, decorated with antiques, and accented with hand made quilts. The Peaches and Cream Room exudes a Victorian flavor with a queen canopy bed and a twin day bed. This room features a bath with an antique footed bath tub. The Rose and Grey Room contains a ceiling canopied queen bed and a twin bed. This room contains a charming en-suite bath with shower and a unique sink constructed from an antique Singer sewing machine. The Cranberry Room has an antique brass double bed, a sitting area with a queen sofa bed, and bath with shower. All rooms are air conditioned and include cable TV, radio, telephones and free in room high speed Internet, wireless or cable connections.

The surrounding four acres are a mixture of history and modern amenities. The Stone Smoke House, the cold storage keep and the ancient trees are offset by the large swimming pool surrounded by pine hedges and trees for privacy. Select here for a panoramic view of the grounds.
