We encourage our guests to disconnect and unwind while staying at our Inn. Once you check-in you’ll find that we make it very easy to relax. With no distractions such as televisions or wifi you’ll be able to truly enjoy the natural beauty of the smells, sounds, and sights of rural farm life. Hear our rooster crow and watch them nest in trees at dusk. Watch the goats and sheep play in pastures. Collect free-range eggs. Cut flowers or stroll out to barn.

The space
Please check out all of our rooms at Red Tomato Farm & Inn on Airbnb: Big Boy Suite, Box Car Willie Room and Beefsteak Room.

Enjoy your stay in our renovated farmhouse that was initially a log cabin built in the 1800’s. It is perfectly nestled in between pastures and trees and is a short walk to our gardens and a beautiful bank barn.

The staff that you will find cleaning the Inn, making up your room and setting out coffee and other treats are learning how to be inn-keepers. This is an active farm with people who have intellectual and developmental disabilities that work daily with our livestock, agriculture, and the Inn. They take great pride in making your stay as comfortable as possible. By staying at the Inn guests increase opportunity for inn-keepers to make interesting acquaintances, learn about new places, become more proficient at hospitality and housekeeping, and share their enthusiasm and knowledge about Red Tomato Farm & Inn.

Where you’ll be

Newville, Pennsylvania, United States

Our Inn is conveniently located just south of Carlisle, Pennsylvania allowing for an easy drive to Gettysburg, Hershey, Harrisburg, Mechanicsburg, and Lancaster. Our Newville, PA lodging is close to the Appalachian Trail for fantastic hiking and gorgeous fall foliage in the autumn months. Kings Gap Environmental Education Center has varied trails to accomodate all levels of hikers. Yellow Breeches or the LeTort Spring Run provides an excellent opportunity for fly fishing.

For those that enjoy cars, Carlisle is known for its collector car shows held at the Carlisle Fairgrounds during the spring, summer, and fall seasons.

The Carlisle area is the home for many higher education institutes such as Dickinson College, Messiah College, and Penn State’s Dickinson School of Law. Also, Shippensburg Univeristy is located nearby. It's also notable that the US Army War College at Carlisle Barracks, home of the Carlisle Indian School (Jim Thorpe’s alma mater), is in close proximity to our Inn.

Please visit The Cumberland Valley and Gettysburg Travel sites for more information on area restaurants, shopping and current events.

As part of our concierge services, local maps are offered with directions to tourist attractions, restaurants, and other places of interest.
