If you prefer the sort of b&b where the owners sit down and chat with you over breakfast or go out of their way to make you feel you are literally a "guest in their home," the Mulburn Inn probably isn't what you're looking for.

But if you would like to feel as though you are spending a few days in your own magnificent summer home, with an abundance of beautifully appointed public areas, wi-fi access, individually prepared full breakfasts each morning and freedom to roam about this elegant house and grounds in privacy (with assistance from your hosts available by merely picking up the house phone), you will find the Mulburn Inn a dream come true. The feel here is actually more like a small European hotel--I think there were probably at least 6 to 7 bedrooms upstairs--at half the small European hotel price. Beyond a doubt the best b&b choice in Bethlehem.

I recently had the wonderful opportunity of spending three days at the Mulburn Inn during the month of January with another couple.

We had a wonderful time, the hosts were friendly, kind and very accommodating to our every need.

It is a lovely Inn, steeped in history and extremely well maintained. The rooms are spacious and elegantly decorated with beautiful antique furniture.

The breakfast served was cooked exactly as I like it, and the variety was excellent.

The two husbands felt so relaxed at the Inn, that they both took a nap in the overstuffed leather chairs in front of the fireplace. The hosts make you feel like it is your home away from home.

It you want a wonderful, relaxing, experience in a beautiful Inn, the Mulburn Inn should be your next destination.

My wife & I stayed at the Mulburn Inn whilst on our Honeymoon towards the end of September 2007, expecting a romantic hitoric old Inn, with crackiling fires & deep soft beds.
What we got was a lovely old B&B that was very tatty around the edges, & definately in need of some tidying up.
ok - I'm sure an old property like that requires a lot of maintainence, but there's no excuse for having boxes of books, old gym equipment, old radios & computer eqipment littering the veranda. Or indeed for having tourist information 3 years out of date on the display!
We stayed in the "Adams room" - in which Cary Grant & Barbara Hutton spent a night of their Honeymoon.
The room was very spacious and looked as though it contained all of its fixtures from that era - which was lovely. However, the bed had collapsed in 1 corner, and a broken moulding from the wardrobe had just been thrown inside !
Breakfast was ok (Bacon & Eggs), although it was the only place in America that I left the table hungry.
Overall, our expectations (formed from reading previous reveiws the Inns own website, and based on the cost!) did not match our experience. You're paying for the history of the place, and nothing else. As a previous poster wrote "there's something not quite right about the Mulburn Inn"

The Mulburn Inn does not satisy in terms of either Bed nor Breakfast. Our bed in the Adams room was not comfortable as the bed was lopsided towards the headboard. We slept with our pillows in the opposite direction. We looked under the bed to see extra supports placed there in an attempt to maintain a level matress...it did not work. The room, however was tastefully decorated. The ensuite bathroom was large and clean but the problem there was the tub shower. It was completely surrounded by a shower cutain which touched us the entire shower...it brought out the claustrophobic in me. Our breakfast room was very pleasant, but the coffee (not 24hr as advertised!) was bad and breakfast was mediocre. The worst part of the stay was the hottub. PLEASE OWNERS read this and clean the area surrounding the hot tub. The dust was so thick you could see peoples footprints in it. This is NO exaggeration. It also smelled. We paid $250 for 2 nights accomodation and although the house is beautiful and quiet, the bed, dust and bad coffee severely detract from this.
I feel their website outshines the reality. It should be a less expensive place to stay until they fix the aforementioned problems. Lots of potential if the owners cared a little more.
PS Angelica's in Bethlehem is a nice lunchtime place to eat, reasonable prices and VERY CLEAN.
