About the Inn

The Gage Mansion is a historic Queen Anne Victorian that was commissioned by Colonel George F Gage, the superintendent of the Huntingdon and Broad Top Railroad, in 1896.  Blueprints were drawn by George Barber, a prominent architect of Victorian homes.  Dozens of Barber's painted ladies remain intact across the country and are listed on the Register of Historic Places just like ours.  Colonel Gage incorporated many elegant details into the building of his home such as Italian marble, stained glass windows, and six intricately carved fireplaces; but his greatest claim as a status symbol was his ownership of the first telephone in town!

In 2014, John and Angie Thompson purchased the property.  "We wanted to share its splendor by opening the Gage Mansion as a bed and breakfast.  Renovations to bring the home into the 21st century started by adding six bathrooms," explained Thompson.  "Design details include Italian marble tile floors and shower surrounds and meticulously matched wooden trim.  For our guests' comfort, individual climate control was added to each suite, along with WiFi, and TV.  Our tranquil spaces are furnished with comfortable, elegant appointments, compelling our guests to unwind.  In the morning, guests enjoy a hearty breakfast of fresh, locally sourced ingredients."

Join us in this grand historic home nestled in the heart of downtown Huntingdon amidst the lush Allegheny mountains! Dining, shopping, outdoor recreation, and sites of historical interest are all within walking distance.  We look forward to welcoming you!
