Limestone Springs Inn is a carefully restored colonial-era fieldstone manor nestled in the Cumberland Valley of south-central Pennsylvania, placing anglers within walking distance of the renowned Letort Spring Run and a short drive from Big Spring, Penns Creek, and a constellation of other storied limestone creeks that form the cradle of American fly fishing. The inn draws its name from the calcium-rich geological formations beneath the valley floor, the same geology that gives Pennsylvania's spring creeks their gin-clear water, stable temperatures, and extraordinary insect life that has tested and refined generations of fly fishers.
The property comprises six individually decorated guest rooms furnished with period antiques, each named for a notable figure in Pennsylvania fly fishing history. A full country breakfast is served each morning in the dining room, and the inn's library contains an extensive collection of fly fishing literature spanning two centuries. The innkeepers are accomplished anglers themselves, offering detailed guidance on current conditions, access points, and fly selection for each of the region's productive waters.
Guided trips can be arranged through the inn's network of local professionals who specialize in the demanding technical fishing that Pennsylvania's spring creeks require. Sight-fishing to rising trout with size 20 sulfur duns on the Letort, drifting a tiny trico spinner through a pod of sipping browns on Big Spring, or prospecting the riffles of Penns Creek with an Elk Hair Caddis during the green drake hatch represent just a sampling of the experiences available from this exceptional base of operations.
