History in a Refined Setting: the Adair Country Inn and Restaurant

The beautiful Adair Country Inn and Restaurant in Bethlehem welcomes guests year round in a tranquil setting. Built in 1927, for many years the inn was the private home of the Hogan/Guider family.

Frank Hogan was a successful Washington, DC lawyer when his daughter, Dorothy Adair Hogan, married John Guider. Hogan built the Adair as a wedding gift for his daughter. (John Guider was a lawyer in Frank Hogan’s firm, and the family was close knit.)

Due to the Hogan/Guider family’s social standing, they were friends with people from all walks of life. Glittering society found its way to the Bethlehem home, and guests to the Adair home included presidential hopefuls, Supreme Court justices, senators, actors such as Dorothy’s lifelong best friend Helen Hayes, and sports figures.

The property remained the Guider’s private home until the passing of Dorothy Guider in 1991. In 1992, the beautiful home was converted into an 11-room country inn with two additional historic homes for rent on the estate. Today, the inn continues the tradition of hosting friends in a gorgeous country setting where the property features flower gardens in summer and bursting foliage in the fall. In the winter, the Adair welcomes guests who love to ski and enjoy snow activities. Featuring individual guest rooms and fine dining in a casual setting at the Adair Restaurant, a visit to the inn is memorable. Serving afternoon tea for in-house guests, a bar with a variety of drinks, and fine dining, there is something for every taste at the Adair Inn. Weddings are memorable affairs at the Adair Inn as well.

Couples return again and again to the Adair Country Inn to stay in the well-kept, tastefully decorated rooms that harken back to the age of Dorothy Guider and her friends and family. For information on the Adair Country Inn and Restaurant, visit www.adairinn.com or call 1-888-444-2600.
