Our Story

This eatery is one of the oldest continuously operating Inn’s serving food in Pennsylvania. The cornerstone on the front upper floor reads, “Built by Jos. & Ann Bowman 1859 A.D”. In the early years, the Inn was named Ye Olde Golden Key Hotel. In the early 1900s, it was owned by George S. Trafford.

George was born in Jonestown and worked as an Ironworker in his younger years. He was also a master marksman. He lived in Lebanon on South Eighth Street and passed away at the age of 69. Blanche Molly was the owner of the Inn during Prohibition. The Inn was called Molly’s Tea Room during Prohibition and was just one of the many Tea Room’s or illegal speak-easies that operated at that time.

    We were impressed by the menu, and equally impressed when we tasted our lunches. Exactly what we'd hoped for. Our server Madison was outstanding today, and told us a bit about the inn's history. We will be coming back, and we're bringing more people!

    DescriptioFood is creative and delicious. Nice variety of options including vegan, vegetarian, gluten free. Plated and presented beautifully. Drinks were also excellent and well balanced. We sat on the deck, tucked in a more quiet corner on a busy night. Underrated gem.

    Such a cute venue- it was big and busy, yet personable and the service was impeccable .
    It has an extensive menu- and our meals and appetizer were delicious!
    Drinks were fabulous, too. We tried some off the specials menu. It was happy hour so they were a great price!

    I am not sure exactly where to start so I'll start here: This Inn is a Gem! I loved everything about it! Our waitress Emma went above and beyond to make sure we had everything we needed for a superb dining experience. The options on the menu were enticing, interesting and varied from the Appetizers to the Entrees to Dessert. Everything was delicious. It was a perfect summer night to dine outside and I love the terraced ambience.

    We have a cottage in Mount Gretna and this is our first time here! I was really blown away by how efficient the restaurant is. We arrived to an absolute packed house and we're in and out with a full meal in under an hour. Outstanding service and the food quality was great.
