A Boutique Hotel
Nestled away in the woods overlooking the seventeenth green of the prestigious Toftrees Golf Course, just three miles from the Penn State Campus, you'll discover Carnegie House, an exclusive boutique hotel offering discriminating travelers the comforts, charm and warm hospitality of a European Country Inn.
The twenty-two individually appointed rooms and suites are decorated with antiques and spaces that tempt you to linger. Arched doorways lead to beautifully proportioned rooms suffused with light from many windows and French Doors. Fires burn on hearths,
casting their glow on old wood and brass.
Oriental carpets lend rich color and softness underfoot.
From daily breakfasts to elegantly prepared hors d' oeuvres and dinner selections, dining at Carnegie House is as spectacular as it is relaxing. The Library invites casual conversation while guests savor a favorite cocktail or glass of wine from the award winning Wine Spectator collection.
Luxurious accommodations and spectacular vistas create the perfect retreat for you and your guests — a step away from your everyday experience. Come see why Carnegie House has earned the AAA Four Diamond Award for dining, lodging and exceptional personal service.
Carnegie House offers an experience that will have you looking forward to your next visit to Happy Valley.
Carnegie House is an AAA Four Diamond Award Winner: Establishments that earn the Four Diamond Award pass a rigorous AAA inspection. A rating at this level assures AAA members and the public that designated properties and restaurants are among the finest in North America. AAA Four Diamond winners consistently exceed the association's requirement by providing a skilled and attentive service staff, high level of customer service and top-of the line amenities and ambiance. These winners are truly in a class of their own, as only an estimated 4 percent of the nearly 24,000 AAA-rated properties and 5 percent of the 11,000 restaurants are Four Diamond recipients.
