Ottaway Inn has been named the best Bed and Breakfast in Corry by the Corry Journal for 7 years in a row! Ottaway Inn is located in Corry, Pennsylvania, thirty (30) mile southeast of Erie. This historical town was established in 1861. Ottaway Inn was designed and occupied by one of Corry's premiere architects, A.P. The Inn's rehabilitation concentrates on it's historical features, such as the va
riety of wood used in the original design of the home. Ottaway Inn was built in 1865, the year Abe Lincoln died. Mount also designed the Corry Municipal Building, the Corry Public Library, the Water Supply Company, the Corry Armory (Now the Salt Church) the Elks Lodge and several homes and churches. Ottaway purchased the home in 1965 living in it until he relocated to Phoenix Arizona in 1988 to be with his children Robert (Bob) Ottaway, Randall Ottaway, Roger Ottaway and Roween Ottaway. The Ottaway family decided to painstakingly restore the 136- year old to its orginal condition. With three years of hard work and extensive renovations, the house was transformed into a charming bed and breakfast. The integrity of the home has been preserved for our family and our guests. The Edwardian style home includes all the three original mantle pieces, a formal dining room, a sitting room a formal living room, two pocket doors, a grand staircase in the foyer, hard wood floors, original baseboard and moldings. The home includes three (3) guest chambers: The Hallmark, The Headcorn and the Heritage. Both the Hallmark and Headcorn chamber have queen size beds hand crafted out of white oak. The Heritage chamber has two twin beds made of mahogany wood. The nightstands, desks and dressers are hand made from white oak, which compliment the home's flavor of wood. Each chamber has it's own private bathrooms, cable TV, and air-conditioning. Our guests will wake up to enjoy a hearty breakfast prepared by our Innkeeper, Kathy Ireland
