The French Manor, an enchanting stone chateau, sits atop Huckleberry Mountain in South Sterling, PA. As a guest of the French Manor you will enjoy views of the beautiful crests and ridges of the northern Pocono Mountains. An elegant country inn unlike any other, secluded and private, like a secret lookout separate from the populace. Spacious, uncompromising accommodations, together with fine service, make The French Manor perfect for your long awaited getaway.

An Interesting History: Since its construction in 1932, it has been used as a private retreat for Joseph Hirshhorn and, later by Samuel Kress (of Kresge department store fame). After Kress willed the property to Bucknell University, it stood unoccupied for 16 years. In the mid 80's it was opened as a bed and breakfast. Most recently, it was transformed into a full scale country inn and restaurant by Ron and Mary Kay Logan, who own and have operated the Sterling Inn for the past twenty three years. Modeled after Hirshhorn' s actual French Manor in the south of France, the building possesses many fine features shared only by its European namesake. Craftsmen and artisans of German and Italian descent, whose children still inhabit the surrounding countryside, created the French Manor as a unique stone chateau, using the natural lumber and fieldstones of Huckleberry Mountain. The French Manor's imported Spanish slate roof, "pecky" cypress interior and great hall, Romanesque arched entranceway, and massive stone fireplaces attest to the artisan's mastery.
