The Cameron Estate Inn in Beautiful Lancaster County
The Cameron Estate Inn is located in Mount Joy, Lancaster County, Pennsylvania. The mansion was built in 1805 by President McKinley's great-great grandfather and was the summer retreat of Simon Cameron & his family. The historic mansion was converted into a lovely bed and breakfast inn with 18 guest rooms, wedding & party venues and an on-site fine dining restaurant.
The estate has been placed on the National Register of Historic Places by the United States Department of the Interior. This house, the first parts of which were built between 1805 and 1808, was the home of Simon Cameron and his descendants from 1876 until 1961, when it became part of Elizabethtown College. In 1970 - 1971, the house was renovated through the generosity of Mrs. C. Howland Chase, Washington, D.C. the great-granddaughter of Simon Cameron.
As you stroll around the 15 acres of you'll be greeted with lush green lawns, century old trees, colorful gardens and bubbling streams. The property and grounds are beautifully landscaped and well-maintained. You'll hear birds chirping and you might get lucky if you spot some of the local wildlife nearby. We found our walk to be romantic and peaceful all at the same time.
When you're looking for overnight accommodations you'll find the inn offering 18 beautifully appointed guest rooms, all with private bathrooms and scenic views. Several of the guest rooms offer romantic fireplaces and two rooms have private whirlpool tubs. Comfortable, relaxing and luxurious overnight accommodations await you.
We visited the Cameron Estates Inn to attend a wedding. Their wedding venue can accommodate wedding parties with up to 250 guests and are available year-round. They offer 3 different wedding site venues with 3 different reception areas. The wedding that we attended was held in the Conservatory which can hold up to 275 guests. It's elegant, luxurious and absolutely beautiful. You can find the wedding package information on their website or call them directly to set up an appointment.
The reception was held in the Carriage House which features a walk-up, open bar, an area for dancing & entertainment and will hold up to 275 guests. The tables were elegantly decorated with fine linens, centerpieces and fine china. The wait staff with friendly and professional. The seating area at times was a little cramped when too many people were walking around, but other than that...I thought it was perfect.
Cameron Estate Restaurant (on-site) offers 5-star dining and they recommend that you place reservations ahead of time. We personally didn't eat in the restaurant, but the food we enjoyed at the reception was prepared there and brought down to the venue. We enjoyed perfectly grilled steaks, crab stuffed chicken breasts, vegetables, dinner rolls and various appetizers before our main meal. Everything we tried was delicious!
