After operating the very successful After Eight Bed & Breakfast in
Paradise, PA until November 2005 Toni & Lorin Wortel together with their
two children Marc and Miranda started the restoration
of the historic and upscale Silverstone Inn &
Suites. After completion in January of 2007, we opened up our newly renovated family mansion to
visitors of our tourism Paradise: The PA Dutch Amish area.
In May 2013 daughter Miranda
Wortel and Nick Wagner joined as fulltime innkeepers after graduating in
Hospitality Management giving Toni & Lorin a few days a week off.

duties at the B&B, Lorin's biggest hobby is counted cross stitch and sketching.
