The Settlers Inn
Hawley, Pennsylvania, United States · Independent · Accessible Luxury
Hawley citizens funded The Settlers Inn, an English Arts and Crafts lodge, in 1927 as Lake Wallenpaupack filled, with Pennsylvania bluestone, native chestnut beams, and architect Louis Edgar Welsh's gables. Depression and war kept it shut until the late 1940s. Jeanne and Grant Genzlinger bought it in 1980 and cut the room count to about 23, with Bradbury and Bradbury papers and farm-to-table dining on six acres that run down to the Lackawaxen, and the inn belongs to Historic Hotels of America.

About The Settlers Inn
- The Hawley Chamber built it as a community hotel for the new 1925 lake; the stock-market crash left the shell empty through World War II.
- Genzlingers restored from original blueprints in 1980 and reduced roughly 50 rooms to the current 23.
- Mission furniture, Fulper tile, and a Stickley grandfather clock carry the Arts and Crafts brief into the dining rooms.
History
The Settlers Inn was conceived as the Hawley Community Hotel in 1927, an Arts and Crafts lodge of bluestone and chestnut designed by Louis Edgar Welsh as Lake Wallenpaupack opened to tourists. It sat unfinished through the Depression and war, then opened in the 1940s under names including Tudor Manor. Grant and Jeanne Genzlinger bought it in 1980 and restored the public rooms. Historic Hotels of America member since 2010.
