The Foxburg Inn

I surprised my fiancé with a suite at Foxburg and couldn’t be happier with the experience. The front desk staff were very friendly and the room was very clean and beautiful. The fireplace in the room was a very nice feature. The hotel feels very solid and there was no presence of noise from other rooms whatsoever. The view of the river from our room was amazing and I would highly recommend the Foxburg Inn.

When I think Foxburg Inn, I think great restaurant! The food is very good and the view on the river is beautiful! One entire side of the resaurant is glass looking onto the river!
The service has always been great! Reservations are accepted but not always needed! Also, there is a nice little winery across the street!

To an unfamiliar out-​of-​stater (read: anxious city-​slicker), The Foxburg Inn simply does not exist. Cell phone service becomes spotty in this neck-​of-​the-​Northwestern PA-​woods, your GPS is bound to go on the fritz en route, and the hotel’s address may keep plotting itself elsewhere when entered in Google Maps. Yes, like some sick hick trick being played on them city folk. Soon enough, you will realize your best bet is to get on Route 58W and just head towards the Allegheny River, turning left right before the bridge. If you don’t, your car may end up on a few detour romps through farmland dirt roads, but that just seems to be par for the course in this area.
Technological setbacks included, Foxburg is a time-​warp of a town and The Inn is city center. In about a block’s length, this quaint riverside microcosm is home to a pizza place, library, winery store, restaurant, our hotel in question, and little else. A more-​or-​less modern (relatively speaking) lodging option — and the only one in a good 15-​mile radius or so — these accommodations boast picturesque river views, certainly its main selling point. The first-​floor rooms have back-​door patio access that overlook the Allegheny, perfect for a wedding reception after-​party or an early morning read. If your weekend speed is less roaring rapids and more, well, lazy river, look no further — The Foxburg Inn is likely right up your alley.
The rooms are nice enough — very clean, with granite bathroom countertops, free wi-​fi, and up-​to-​date HDTVs (even if they do happen to be as small as Michael Scott’s prized plasma). Regardless, The Foxburg Inn puts you right at wilderness’ doorstep, so its hard to spend too much time indoors with hiking trails and kayak rides and that stunning view waiting just outside. Its main purpose is for sleep, and unfortunately, their mattresses are hard, noisy, and, I swear, smaller than the double-​bed size advertised.
Chances are you came to Foxburg for a wedding, like myself. It can be a bit of a culture shock for some, for sure, and a town that might make you feel dirty for cursing and/​or scared shitless your little trip is about to be fodder for the next big slasher movie. But honestly, in conjunction with the next-​door (and connected via footpath) Allegheny Grille, The Foxburg Inn throws a beautiful reception and will keep your guests safe and sound, relaxed and happy. Sure, it isn’t exactly my cup of tea — I can’t attest to likely taking a few days off from work to head out to The Foxburg Inn at my own leisure. But I would gladly come back for another friend’s wedding — that’s the truth. After all, at least now I know I won’t get lost on my way into town…
