2. WANDELL INN
The Wandell Inn is located in the town of Benton in northern Columbia County. Innkeeper Rebecca said it was a risky move as they purchased the Inn in 2020 during the pandemic. She and her husband used this to their advantage and turned the Inn into a space that travelers enjoy. Rebeca was the bookkeeper for the previous innkeeper and loves the inn’s architecture and the Benton history. This six bedroom/six bathroom inn is perfect for those family outings with common areas large enough for everyone! The Inn also features a front porch, a back porch, a side yard, and is a perfect location to explore the town. Additionally, it is walking distance to antique shops, the Benton Rodeo, and only minutes from Ricketts Glenn State Park.

3. PUMP HOUSE WEDDINGS AND B&B
The Pump House Weddings and B&B. If you like history, you’ll love this Inn. It all started in 1878 when some ambitious young men drafted a plan for the world’s first long-distance underground oil pipeline. Pumping stations were needed along the route of the line every 50 miles. The Pump House Weddings and B&B is one of the only locations in the country where both the original homes of the foremen and the brick buildings remain. Innkeeper Doug has spent more than 20 years restoring and preserving these incredible pieces of history. These buildings now function as reception space for weddings and gatherings. One house provides a private suite for Doug and his wife, Lisa, and is also an art studio where Doug pursues his talents and teaches drawing, ceramics, and stained glass. The second house provides additional guest lodging. There are walking trails along Catawissa Creek and a tree identification trail.
