7. FEATHERBED & BREAKFAST

Featherbed & Breakfast, circa 1881, is a restored Victorian rooming house in the village of Jamison City. Jamison City was established in the woods at the northern terminus of the Bloomsburg and Sullivan Railroad. In 1889, a sawmill was built here, and a city was born. However, it stopped producing wood in 1912, and the final load of lumber from it was shipped to Bloomsburg in 1914. There was also a tannery, but it was closed in 1925. The Featherbed & Breakfast is typical of the small hotels of the late 19th century, and was a perfect choice for Fred and Mary when they were looking for their B&B. It is nestled in the valley of the Big Fishing Creek at the southern gateway to the Endless Mountains. Inside, you will find historical photos of Jamison City. Located seven miles from Ricketts Glen State Park makes this a perfect location for hiking, fishing, boating, winter sports, and hunting.

8. DOCTOR'S INN

The Doctor's Inn's innkeeper, Tina, always dreamed of opening a bed & breakfast, and she chose to do so at the historical house at 107 West Market Street, Danville, which dates back to the 1880's and has been a home to many of Danville's well-known ancestors. Local people also knew this historic home as a physician's office. From the late 1950's to the early 1980's, Dr. William Curry was the physician to many of Danville's residents. Those who passed through the doors of the Queen Anne Victorian-style home left with a bottle of elixir and toting a prescription for better health. Today, The Doctor's Inn offers an invitation for rest and relaxation where guests may escape the fast-paced world and become reacquainted with the Victorian Era. The craftsmanship of an ornate mahogany staircase, high ceilings, pocket doors, and romantically spacious, yet carefully decorated bedrooms, will send you back in time. Guests may gaze across the brightly lit borough at night, enjoy a delightful breakfast, relax among the backyard gardens, or stroll the streets of downtown Danville. The Inn is 1.2 miles from the Geisinger Medical Center main campus. Those who visit may learn that this combination of history and relaxation is just what the doctor ordered.
