The Historic Summit Inn, Farmington

Yes, pets "are allowed" in this hotel. But, they have to stay in the room at all times. If you need to let your dog out and you have to cross the patio, then "there is an exception". You are allowed to take the stairs and cross the patio. That's it! So sit on the patio, enjoy the view but AT ALL TIMES leave your dog (lonely) in the (also historic smelling) room! We sat down at the patio at 8.45 pm. At 9.05 when we finally got the attention of the waiter, she lets us know that we can not order anymore because the kitchen closes at 9! There is nothing else in the aria of 10 miles. So, with an empty stomach to bed.... Very rigid staff and absolutely PET-ON-Friendly!

My boyfriend surprised me for my birthday this past June with a stay at the Summit Hotel. I thought we were going camping, but instead he got one of the packages the hotel offered which was appropriatley called the "Surprise" package. In the room was a dozen red roses and a chilled bottle of champange with two champange flutes that we were allowed to keep. The room was a bit dated for people that only accept high end contemporary hotels these days, but i thought it was a pleasant little hotel getaway (i am in the middle of the city of Pittsburgh EVERYDAY, so city life can be hectic) , and the hotel itself is very historic and beautiful!!! Fabulous porch to sit on and watch the sunset after a mouthwatering dinner (with the package came credit for dinner, but we went over that limit, but it was a special occasion!) In one of the previous reviews, someone had said if you have eaten at a nice resturant then the prices wont scare you, but if you are not used to it, it will seem over priced. I have had the priveledge at eating at some tasty places, and this was def one of them. Perfect for a nice occasion or a weekend surprise. We also got a breakfast in there dining room the next day which was yum as well (eggs benedict is quite good!). We had a few drinks at the bar that is located in the hotel, and it was very small but very friendly and the bartender was sure to take very good care of us and even gave us some advice on our upcoming rafting trip. Overall, the service at the reasturants, bar, and front desk were very pleasant....i will never forget the lovely surprise that was given to me! We will be back next summer!

I just spent the weekend here with my husband for our anniversary. Disregard the extremely negative reviews of this hotel. Yes, the rooms are a bit dated but if you wanted modern you should not be choosing a historical landmark. The food was excellent! I read the reviews and was worried but it was outstanding, we had breakfast 2 days and dinner once. Now it was a tad on the pricier side but if you are used to going to nice restaurants you will not have sticker shock. If you do not normally go to nicer restaurants - you will think it is overpriced. The service was very good overall. We enjoyed the hotel lobby and fireplace, played chess and had a drink at the bar. The location is good also, we went to Laurel Caverns which is just 5 minutes up the road and there is a great little diner about 15 minutes down the road. Overall, it is a very nice hotel, it could use some updates in the bathrooms, but if you are looking for charm and character, this is a nice weekend getaway.

I stayed at the Summit Inn with my husband and two daughters. We had a wonderful expierence at the inn and enjoyed the laid back atmosphere and the friendly staff. the kids enjoyed the pools. Our family is big on outdoor activities, so ohiopyle was the perfect place for biking seeing as its only 15 minutes from the hotel. The Summit even made us picnic lunchs to take on our biking trip. After a long day of biking I returned to the hotel for a massage. It was a great end to my vacation. My daughters cant wait to go back. I think this trip will definitly become a yearly vaction!

I am a business traveler, and on the road 200 days a year. Being on trips and going from place to place can be rough, and normally i just stay in Econos or motels...but i read about the summit inn in an article and decided to treat myself on my next trip. From my expierence staying at this inn I would strongly recommend coming here for any occasion. the atmosphere was comforting and relaxing, and though I was away on business, I felt like I was at home. so whether your on a business trip or a family vacation, I would certainly suggest visiting this hiddin gem!

My wife of 35 years and I came to stay at the Summit for a few days because we wanted to visit the Frank Lloyd Wright homes in the area. We were very satisfied with our stay, and our room had a lovely view of the valley. Our only complaint is that they are not open year round.

My sister and I meet every year at a different place just to have a weekend away, and this year we chose The Summit. We couldn't have been happier! Their restaurant had such good food, and the staff was very personable. We spent almost an entire evening relaxing in front of the fireplace with glasses of wine. We usually try to go somewhere different each year, but we will definitely be returning to the Summit.

Our stay at the Summit Inn was terrible. 1) The food at the restaurant was greasy - everything saturated with butter & stale bread. The waiter was unfriendly. 2) They advertise services which they do not have. Upon booking we were told that massage was offered every evening, but nobody was working during our stay. 3) Our room was freezing and musty. 4) Worst of all, my mother sent flowers to our room but they never arrived. The staff refused to take responsibility for their mistake and decided instead to call us liars. I will never return to a place that treats their customers with such distrust and disrespect.

We had their fabulous crabcakes, best I've ever had. The view was wonderful, I've never seen anything like it. This would be the perfect hotel to stay at for a romantic getaway. And the pool is an Olympic sized pool, plenty of room for my family.

we didnt like how we went to dinner there and they made us sit in with a reheral dinner i was quite put out with that. your pool was to small and didnt fit the needs of my family, we feel that you need to upgrade your pool and make it bigger.
