The Inn at Dresden

This past Thursday, I discovered a world filled with tranquility, elegance, and enchantment at the Inn at Dresden. My girlfriend and I were fortunate to experience this magical place, and our stay was wrapped in an ambiance that was not just relaxing but also deeply intriguing. Our abode for the night was the magnificent "City Lights" room. Impeccably clean, adorned with tasteful decor, and equipped with a bed that cradled us into the sweetest dreams, it was the epitome of luxury. However, the most captivating aspect was the panoramic view of the city. As the curtain of night fell, the city came alive with twinkling lights, creating an enthralling vista that held us captive in its beauty. Even the foggy dawn painted an ethereal landscape as the sunrise kissed the horizon, the view from our room's balcony creating a mesmerizing tableau that will stay etched in our memories. In addition to the alluring charm of the room, we were embraced by the warm hospitality of Joy, the innkeeper. Her endearing demeanor, attention to detail, and profound knowledge of the inn's intriguing history made us feel right at home. The story of the inn, once owned by the acclaimed basket maker Mr. Longaberger, added an extra layer of fascination to our stay. His extraordinary craftsmanship is evident in the stunning two-story deck, a popular venue for weddings and parties, standing as a testament to his legacy. The delightful surprises continued as we savored the most delectable French toast for breakfast. Each bite offered an exploration of flavors so exquisite that we found ourselves yearning for a never-ending supply. The breakfast was served in a serene spot that presented a magnificent view of the city, the picturesque setting elevating our culinary experience. This flavorful delight, included in our package, further accentuated the charm and value of our stay at the inn. The mansion itself is a beacon of sophistication, reminiscent of the opulence of a bygone era, beautifully captured in F. Scott Fitzgerald's The Great Gatsby. Much like Gatsby's mansion, the Inn at Dresden demands attention with its charisma and grandeur. In conclusion, the Inn at Dresden is not just a place to rest. It is an immersive experience into a realm that interweaves luxury, history, and culinary wonders. Whether you're seeking a romantic getaway or a rejuvenating break from the everyday, the Inn at Dresden should be on your list. It certainly has secured a place in our hearts and future travel plans.

A very pleasant stay . This was our first experience staying at a B&B ( a small Inn as Joy calls it ) . It’s a charming place to stay with a great deal of history. The former home of Dave Longaberger is something to see . The house is pretty expansive with some amazing views. There is a multi story covered deck large enough to accommodate weddings and what not. Joy , the Inn keeper is very energetic and loves to talk about the history of the house and the surrounding area. She gladly took the time to show us some of the other rooms and give some background about them . Joy is also a very good cook ! Our dinner was excellent and breakfast the next morning was delicious ! As a side note, breakfast was included, the dinner was not , however it was well worth it !!! Also there are 2 EV chargers on the property available for guests. One Clipper Creek J-1772 and One Tesla . These are on the downhill side of the Inn . Speak with Joy and let her know, she will fix you up . Be sure to check out the dining room of the house. The wallpaper is from Zuber . A French wallpaper company that has been in business since 1797 . The paper in this room is also in the White House.

Enjoyed our get away to this quirky home built and lived in by Dave Longaberger of Longabergers baskets. What a unique place with a view of surrounding countryside. Joy was friendly and welcoming. Highly recommend! You will love this Inn, self-built by local businessman Dave Longaberger.

I booked my room on 3/20/23 and due to a family emergency out of state had to cancel. I canceled on 3/22/23, 6 days before it my started…they still charged a full day out of two!! I won’t recommend it!!!!

Beautiful property, great views, quiet and relaxing. Joy was a pleasure to be around, extremely responsive to our every need. Food was fabulous!. The history of the house was awesome. Loved our entire stay, will definitely be back.

Joy was a treat! My wife and I stayed for a night for our anniversary and we were treated like family. Joy made the meals herself and was extremely attentive, kind and personable. Will definitely be coming back in the future. Thanks Joy!
