New ownership brings fresh vision to The Harmony Forge Inn in Bellefonte
Bellefonte’s Harmony Forge Inn, a hidden gem tucked along the tranquil banks of Spring Creek, has entered a new chapter under the ownership of Kasey Rhoa and her family. With a rich history and stunning Victorian charm, this beloved inn is poised for exciting changes that travelers to the region won’t want to miss.
The decision to purchase the historic property came from an immediate sense of connection. “We fell in love with it at the very first showing,” said Kasey Rhoa, Partner and Event Manager at the Harmony Forge Inn. “It’s absolutely stunning, and as soon as you cross over the bridge, you get this overwhelming sense of peace.” Although Rhoa and her family are new to managing an inn and wedding venue, they are no strangers to property management and have had the guidance of seasoned professionals.
The inn itself is a beautifully restored Victorian treasure that offers a glimpse into the past while providing modern amenities for today’s travelers. “Stepping through the door is like stepping back in time,” Rhoa shared. “The previous owners took great care of the property, and we are excited to put our own spin on it.”
Among the exciting developments is the renovation of a second house on the property, aptly named Creekside Lodge. The three-bedroom, two-bath house sits right on the edge of Spring Creek and will serve as a groom’s suite for weddings and additional lodging for tourists. The project is set to be completed by late spring 2025, adding even more versatility to the property.
For visitors seeking more than just a place to stay, Rhoa envisions expanding the inn’s role within the community. Beyond hosting weddings and events, Harmony Forge Inn will soon offer a range of activities for locals and tourists alike. “We really want to make it more accessible to the community,” said Rhoa, hinting at potential summer concerts and other gatherings. Travelers can stay updated on future events through the inn’s Facebook and Instagram pages.
As Bellefonte continues to grow as a destination for history lovers, outdoor enthusiasts, and wedding parties, the Harmony Forge Inn is ready to be a centerpiece of the community. Its blend of historic elegance, modern updates, and family-driven vision makes it a must-visit for anyone looking to experience the beauty of Central Pennsylvania.
