History of the
Inn
In 1907 Mr.
Eugene Fay left Newark, New Jersey with the intention of
building an Inn in Northern Wayne County, PA. Although Starlight
Lake was not his original location, he quickly fell in love with
Starlight Lake and its surroundings and in 1909 the Inn at
Starlight Lake was opened to the public. The Inn remains a
favored destination in the region and its 100th
Anniversary in 2009 will be marked with several celebrations.
After the
passing of Mr. Fay shortly before the grand opening of the
Inn in 1909, his widow operated the Inn until 1915 when her
son purchased her interests in the Inn and took over the
day-to-day management. The Inn remained in the Fay family
until 1974 when Jack and Judy McMahon from New York City
purchased the Inn. The Schwartz’s are only the third owners
of the Inn in its 100 year history.
Current
owners, James and Sari Schwartz have been the Inn’s
proprietors since 2005 and are excited about being part of
its rich and interesting history. Prior to purchasing the
Inn at Starlight Lake, Sari and Jimmy came to the Inn
regularly. It holds a special place in their hearts and a
special place in the hearts of their guests.
