4 Day Yoga Retreat in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania

City House Bed & Breakfast was built back in 1925 by D. Bailey Brandt and is identified in Building Harrisburg, The Architects and Builders 1719-1941 by Ken Frew. The architecture is inspired by the Spanish prototypes architecturally explored in this era. Over many years, the home underwent many transformations, from being separated into two homes in the 1940s and serving as the group home in the '80s through the '90s. Its current owners Chris and Erica, are the third in a line of owners who chose to restore it to an original one-family dwelling.

Renovations were all implemented in spring 2010, creating City House Bed & Breakfast seen today. The remodeling focused on more comfortable living space and modern amenities without letting go of the original historic charm. Security was then updated with emergency exit lighting and fire alarms, gated parking, and a keyless entry. Yes, they have gutted and modernized the bathrooms but also have maintained the 1920's charm. The facilities that enable you to feel at home are enough to help you enjoy the best food.

There is round clock access to the special coffee station with hot brews and also some sweet indulgences. The guest pass is also included for two days for the YMCA giving full access to facilities and overlooking the Susquehanna riverfront, including cardio machines and weighs. This pass also gives the guests access to the Y's full studio class schedule along with the indoor swimming pool, Jacuzzi, and sauna. This is only one block from the retreat. This handcrafted house is fully decorated with stained glass windows, wooden floors, fireplaces, along arched entryways.
