The garden around the property was well maintained and enhanced the patio and thus increased our enjoyment of the patio area. The main house is beautiful and kept spotlessly, bringing honor to the memory of the original owners of years gone by. Thank you!

Outstanding breakfasts and very friendly couple. Beautiful garden. I stay essentially for a place to sleep while part of my family was up from North Carolina with their kids. So didn't try or plan to get around very much, but I'm familiar with the area.

This a beautiful and welcoming bed and breakfast. There are so many little touches that elevate your stay such as the beverage area, snacks and candies, robes for your convenience and comfortable seating areas. The breakfast was delicious and the host was kind and thoughtful. Our room was clean and well set up and the bathroom was updated and came with nice thick towels. The grounds were gorgeous. I definitely plan to come back!

Exceptional Bed n' Breakfast

The hosts, Diane and Scott, went out of their way to make the stay perfect. They pay attention to fine details, such as snacks and a wonderful breakfast. The only thing that was a surprise is that the property is right on a busy street. We were in a room that faced the street but there was no noise because they had installed sound proof windows. I would definitely return.

Wow! What can I say? Diane and Scott were marvelous from start to finish. They really cared about us and our every need, to make us feel like their place was our home away from home. I love it that they both sit down with us when we first get in and chat with us about our lives and theirs like we’ve been friends forever. They explain all the amenities that are available, and personally take us to our room to show us what is available there. The home’s inside decor was tastefully done with a sense of history all over. Their outside garden and fish pond were beautiful and well taken care of with flowers of all kinds, even a gnome garden! The morning breakfast was delicious and varied, and Diane graciously even made me hot chocolate from scratch! We have visited with them 4 different times and will come back again when we are in the area. My wife and I heartily recommend it to everyone!

My second visit—an 8-minute ride from Lancaster train station. The garden/pound behind the historic house is a tranquil retreat, and a township park nearby offers shady walking. I always head to R.B. Shap (5-min drive) for shoes; Lititz offers dining options. My hosts, Diane and Scott, are welcoming and affable. I will gladly return.

What a fabulous B&B! The hosts are delightful, respectful, and very sweet. The location was perfect for us, between Lancaster and Lititz, and away from the crazy touristy corridors. The house is immaculate! The atmosphere is elegant yet cozy, peaceful, well appointed! We wanted for nothing. Every need was anticipated and prepared for. Our room, Witmer, was quite comfortable, clean, and beautifully decorated. The house is gorgeous and was decorated for the holidays so beautifully and tastefully! The breakfasts were so delicious that the hosts need to publish a cookbook. I have celiac and the hosts were undaunted, ensuring that I was both well fed and given gluten free yummies. This stay was truly a joy!

Elegant and comfortable, the Bowman House is surprisingly quiet despite its fronting on Lititz Pike (501). In the rear garden a waterfall offered a tranquil retreat. Scott and Diane served delicious breakfasts, and a guest kitchen is stocked with snacks and a Flavia coffee/cappucino/matcha tea machine. My favorite shoe store, R B Shap, is two miles away and downtown Lititz less than 4. I’ve stayed in four other inns/hotels in the area and this is by far the best. Diane and Scott made me feel very welcome; I’ll gladly return.
