Bedford Vacation Packages

Very nice historic spot with friendly staff and cool bar on site

Very convenient to everything. shopping, campus and my son’s apartment.

The two four stars are because of the breakfast and breakfast area. The area is very small. It needs to be spread out more. Scrambled eggs would have been a much better choice for the people in my family and friends than hard boiled and cheese and egg patties.

There are places one simply stays—and then there are places one is graciously welcomed into, as if into the pages of a quieter, more refined life. The Carnegie House, nestled in the serene embrace of State College, Pennsylvania, is emphatically the latter. It does not clamor for attention; it does not shout luxury. Instead, it murmurs elegance with the confidence of something long-established and deeply loved. From the moment of arrival, the experience becomes more than mere lodging. The staff, a chorus of grace and professionalism, do not perform hospitality—they embody it. Every gesture feels sincere, every kindness unhurried. One senses quickly that this is not a job for them, but a practiced art. The architecture whispers old-world charm without pretension, and the grounds are a quiet sonnet to beauty—manicured, but not sterile; curated, but not contrived. It is a place where the windows hold the light just so, and mornings arrive with gentle dignity. And then—the food. To call it a meal is to undersell the craft. Each plate is composed like a stanza, balancing boldness with restraint, decadence with discipline. The chef is clearly both artist and steward, drawing from the surrounding bounty of Pennsylvania with reverence. Every bite reveals thought, care, and an unapologetic devotion to excellence. There are stays that leave their imprint quietly, like pressed flowers in the folds of a beloved book. The Carnegie House is one.
