The Station Inn B&B Welcomes you to

Watch the Trains from Our Front Porch

Welcoming Rail Enthusiasts and History Buffs since 1993

The Station Inn is a railroad-themed B&B located in Cresson, PA along the same busy Norfolk Southern railroad main line that traverses famous Horseshoe Curve a few miles away.  Guests from far and wide stay at The Station Inn - built as the 1866 Callan House - to congregate and talk trains, explore the region’s railroad attractions, and explore local spots to watch freight trains conquer the mountain grades of the Alleghenies.

Our expansive front porch is 145 feet away from Norfolk Southern’s main line, where you will be wowed with the sights and sounds of heavy mainline railroading.  Our radio system allows you to listen in to the action, while our porch lighting and WiFi allow you to relax and stay as connected as you like.  Eight comfortable rooms welcome the mountain air so that you can settle in for the night.

The Station Inn has five two-room suites upstairs. Downstairs, there is a large three room suite and two smaller, single rooms. All accommodations have private baths. Desks, reading lamps and Keurig coffee makers are provided.  Comfortably bright lamps are bedside for those who read before retiring. The next morning, you can enjoy a cup of tea or coffee on the porch before we serve you a full, hot breakfast, along with fresh fruit and breakfast pastries in our common dining area.  Complementary soft drinks, spring water, and cookie jar all await, and when you’re ready for lunch or dinner, a number of local eateries are a short walk or drive away.

Breakfast in the Common Room

Our guests enjoy breakfast together in our Common Room, surrounding our beautiful custom wooden breakfast table, up to twelve at a time.  Breakfast starts with coffee, tea, and orange juice, with a full hot breakfast prepared by our cook.  We serve a variety of dishes, including pancakes, waffles, french toast, scrambled eggs, open faced omelets, or biscuits and sausage gravy.  Most meals are served with ham or sausage.  We can accommodate most food allergies or dietary restrictions with advanced notice.

Ours is a communal breakfast, where our guests get to know one another, chat with our staff, and trade their insights about railroads in the area.

Typically, breakfast is served at 8:15am.  Guests are asked to sign up on the white board in the front lobby by 9:00pm the previous evening. During busy times, we will provide servings at both 8:00am and 8:45am to accommodate greater numbers of guests.  If your travel plans don't allow for breakfast, ask at the front desk as we may be able to accommodate you.

After breakfast, you're free to grab another mug of coffee to enjoy on our front porch or elsewhere in the common room.
