Old Economy Inn: an historic B&B

Church St, Ambridge
- Entire home/apt
- 2 Guests

- $90

I love the simple architecture of the Harmonist Society and did my best to restore the Inn in keeping with their style. If you treasure old houses, I really think you will love staying at the Inn. Make sure to visit the Old Economy Village, a state historical site, right down Church Street.

We have also restored another Harmonist home about six blocks away from the Inn. This other building, which is also in the Old Economy Village historical district, is the new home for our restaurant, the Old Economy Cafe. The Cafe opened in October, 2010, and features a great menu for breakfast and lunch! Stop in during your visit to the Inn!

Debra has been an excellent host and her house is very quiet and peaceful. Perfect if you need to take some time off from everything. I definitely recommend this place to anyone who wants a quiet and independent stay in Pittsburgh. Thank You Debra !!

Debra was a fantastic host. The apartment was clean, very spacious (much larger than I was expecting), charming and homey. We were so comfy cozy here. Enjoyed great coffee and what a pleasant treat to have a homemade breakfast brought to our door! And not only convenient but super delicious. Wish we had the time to stay another night. Thanks Debra!

Debra and her husband, Jim were terrific hosts. Very attentive. Not only did Deb make fine breakfastsut we took up on her offer for dinner two nights as well -- delivered to our door -- for a very reasonable additional charge added to our bill. Definitely worth it as there are few if any good restaurants in Ambridge. As expected in an historic home, furnishing were modest but quite adequate. Very clean. My wife and I would recommend OEI to anyone. J VanderZee Bloomington, IN

There are so many good things to say, I don't know where to start! This Inn and the hosts really made the vacation! We stayed in the upper unit at this superbly renovated Inn. It was so clean and simply furnished and decorated with items from the town's historical past. It truly felt like living in the 1800s with all of the modern amenities. The delicious breakfasts that were delivered to the door were phenomenal! All of the little touches....like the kitchen being stocked with... More »

We were impressed with the presentation of the Old Economy Inn. Debra and Jim have blended “olde world” simplicity with modern comfort and convenience in a clever manner that is easy to maintain. The bed is a dream! With its restored buildings and strong sense of times past, Ambridge is an interesting historic river village. You can feel as if you are in a quiet restful corner of the world even though Pittsburgh is only some 30 minutes by road. Our four night stay was determined by... More »

Debbie and Jim are very nice people who took great care of us. The inn was very clean and met all our needs. Love going to their cafe for a good breakfast. On the days we did not go to the cafe the breakfast was delivered to the inn. We will definitely stay at Old Economy Inn the next time we are in the Pittsburgh area.

We had a great - albeit short - visit to the Old Economy Inn a couple weeks ago. The Inn is a lovely and perfectly quaint in every way. We also had a very satisfying breakfast at Debra's Cafe just a few blocks away. We definitely hope to stay here again!

I wish we had planned our East Coast trip better so that we could have spent MORE time at the Inn. Charming, beautiful, cozy none of these words adequately describe just how absolutely perfect the Inn is. If I could, I would move in and never leave. We had the 1st floor unit (I was offered my option of which unit and left it up to Debrah to pick). You enter into a living room complete with tv, couch, chairs and 2 desks (one which doubles as a checker board table). Wireless was super fast,... More »

The Old Economy Inn is, in my book, a kind of utopian B&B. The owners have taken care to strike a perfect balance between historic and modern: carefully restored cabinetry, simple fixtures in harmony with period style, and all the necessary modern appliances. There is a very modern heating system and I enjoyed a luxurious bath in the clawfoot tub equipped with a modern telephone shower fixture. I also appreciated the modernity of the appliances: coffeemaker, fridge and microwave. I only... More »

Debra was a hostess par excellent! She actually "talked me in" as I was totally unfamiliar with the area and I had arrived well after dark and having driven over 500 miles, I was exhausted. But Debra was there to greet me on her street corner after I had made a wrong turn--cell phones are wonderful! I travel with my dog and she made us both feel welcome as she showed us her beautifully restored home on Church Street. She patiently worked with me to establish a connection to her wireless...

I absolutely loved my stay at the Old Economy Inn. The apartment was impeccably decorated and extremely comfortable. Much more luxurious than your average B&B! Thoroughly recommended.
