Rocky Acre Farm Bed and Breakfast

Simply the best relaxation destination for families with children

Our stay could not have been more enjoyable. We only stayed for one night but we'll have the memories for years to come. This truly is a special place!!!

Our first time at Rocky Acres will definitely not be our last! What an amazing time we had! The kids found plenty to do by roaming the farm, riding the golf cart, kayaking, and spending time with the animals. They spent all day outside! And my 17 year old is still raving about the breakfast! Our room was beautiful and perfect for a family of 5. We left there feeling relaxed and refreshed, with a wonderful appreciation of farm life. Thank you!

Love this place. Great breakfast, super atmosphere, been going back a few times a year for a decade The Cammaratos

This was our second time coming. Even though the weather was bad on the first day - our second day made up for it. Our three grandkids loved it as much this time as the first.

This was our 2nd stay at Rocky Acre. Our first was 3 years ago when our kids were 2 and 4. My 2 year-old could not stop talking about it for 3 years and I finally looked ahead enough to snag a room for a few nights when we were available. It is even better. The first time we stayed at the apartment off property and while it was nice, being at the house is sooooo much better. Feeding the calves, interacting with the baby goats, being a part of the good vibes given by the inn keepers and other families was WONDERFUL. If you want a great time for the kids, an opportunity to connect with nature that is nestled in a great location, this is the place for your family. My son is already asking to go back next year and this time, I'm on it.

When the kids prefer our farm stay to our time at Hershey Park I thank God and the Benner family.

You will love this bed and breakfast. The staff is wonderful. The breakfast is out of this world. My grandchildren loved everything from milking the cows to collecting eggs to taking a pony ride to taking a hay ride to taking other rides on farm equipment to using the game room. Rocky Acres is must to stay if you have children or grandchildren. Hope to come back with my other grandchildren.

Well-appointed, clean room w/ friendly staff. Lots of family activities. Excellent food. Planning on making this a yearly trip for our family.

We enjoyed our stay at the rocky mountain farm. Breakfast was delicious!.

The staff of Rocky Acre Farm B&B were amazing. They gave my two children a memorable farm experience. My children gathered eggs in the hen house each day, fed a lamb with a baby bottle, held newborn goats and fed older ones. They saw how the the cows were milked 3 times a day. They were too chicken to participate though!!! Best of all they watched a calf take its first steps. After two nights we really did not want to leave. We all had a great time on tractor rides, playing basketball and having fun in the new rec room. We are all looking forward to going back sometime soon!!

It was outstanding will stay here in future.

The staff was very friendly. There was a lot to do and the freedom to do it. Just wish there was more conversation about how to care for the cows (feeding, milking, lodging...). I feel they could have used a farm hands person to answer questions and show people the proper way to do things (like picking up the chickens and rooster, and more details about milking the cows). The fresh fruit and hot chocolate were great additions to our breakfast.

Everything about our stay was wonderful. I'd highly recommend it to those with younger children as it really gives a "farm experience" to those of us who have never been on a farm. The family is terrific and helpful.

All in all one of the best organised B&B we have been in. Yhe people especially made the place. Free access to all the faem annimals. Ver, very good.

Our family stay 3 days at Rocky Acre Farm over Spring Break. The Breakfasts were the best with more than we could eat. Great service and experience for our kids.

I had a great time during my recent stay. The hosts were very friendly and the breakfast was one of the best I've ever had. The B&B and my room (Fireplace Room) in particular were lovely. Though I didn't spend much time on the farm itself due to other obligations, it seems like a great place for the whole family to enjoy.

We stayed for three nights and two and half days at Rock Acre Farms. I picked the farm based on good reviews, so I felt I should add our own review to the mix. We have a range of ages with our three kids (almost 2, 6, 11) and it can be hard to find activities that suit everyone. Rocky Acres had something for everyone. Our youngest fell in love with the pony, Cookie and loved the hayrides, tractor rides, kitty cats, baby goats and baby lamb. She was in heaven. Our older kids loved the pack of kids that were there with their families, playing basketball, the hay rides, tractor rides, bonfire, bikes and just generally being on the farm. Collecting eggs from the hen house was a highlight for each of them, and watching the milking was fascinating. Our accomodations in the guesthouse were clean, well kept and comfortable. The breakfast was amazing, and the staff is very helpful and kind. We especially appreciated Nancy, who was managing most things while the owners were on vacation, and Jason, who organized the kids' activites in the mornings (pony ride, tractor rides, hayride). Very polite, very good with the kids. We really look forward to when we will be able to return. We also found lots of things to do in the surrounding area so much so that there were things we didn't get to that we will try next time. I almost hate to write this review as I don't want it to become even harder to book a vacation there, but really they deserve recognition for providing a warm family atmosphere and generous hospitality.

This was an amazing experience for my whole family!! The accommodations were amazing and comfortable. The activities were more than expected and the breakfast? Well... I have never seen a breakfast like this before! It was large and delicious! Good enough for my teen to not miss it once! lol I would highly recommend this B&B. We are planning our return visit for sometime next year! (We are 9 hours away from this location) Thanks Rocky Acre Farm for the fantastic memories!

loved our stay at Rocky Acre Farm - we will be back for sure!

Fabulous time on the farm, Will provide many memories, and the host put out a great down home breakfast for the guest to enjoy! Will be back as soon at time allows.

This is our 4th time returning to Rocky Acres. The rooms are getting renivated and are so cozy and inviting. Our room was the latest to get updated (The Efficiency). It is clean and welcoming. I have a fetish with hotel rooms and get wigged out. Not at Rocky Acrea. Super clean. The food is amazing. Eileen is a wonderful cook and like to fill you up till you are stuffed. My kids are in high school and they love returning each year. The Benner's know the area like the back of their hand and they give us suggestions on what to do and where to go around town. If you have small children there are bikes, wagons, balls, get eggs from the hens, hay rides, and a many many more things to keep kids happy and busy. I highly recommend Rocky Acres to anyone. It's the place to be.

A great place to experience the PA countryside in a family environment. Highly recommend the apartment for a great family time.

We LOVE Rocky Acre. This was our 7th year going. Even our teenagers, who started going there years ago have not soured on it. Can't wait to go again in 2012!

This is an amazing place. We have been going for years and love, love, love it! The best place every!

We have stayed at Rocky Acre Farm Bed and Breakfast several times. Our 9 year old son calls it the Kitten Farm because he loves the ever-present collection of cats and kittens. The hospitality at Rocky Acre is outstanding, and it is great to be on a working dairy farm. We watched a calf being born on our last stay - what a rare gift for suburbanites! Rocky Acre is a great place to build family memories.

We just returned from our stay with our 2 small children, ages 3 years and 6 months. This is a lovely home set in a great location. We stayed in the Farmer's Suite which was nice and cozy for the four of us. The homemade breakfasts were wonderful! My 3 year old loved all the activities for the kids, especially the hay ride and pony ride. It really was a nice experience for a family getaway. The only drawback I found was that when we arrived we were not made to feel all that welcome by the owners. In fact, we didn't even meet them until the following morning at breakfast. Also, even though my daughter enjoyed playing with all of the cats, I was a little put off by the droppings left all over the kid's playhouse. Overall, we had a wonderful time and plan on returning in the future.

We just got back from our Farm Stay earlier this week. I knew it would be fun, but it exceeded my expectations! Our room and the whole house was extremely clean. The homemade breakfast in the morning was wonderful, we felt like we were part of the family. Don't even get me started on the animals!!! We loved them all. My 20 month old daughter was even able to interact with them, which was fun to see. When I look back at the pictures, I really long to go back and experience it all again. The atmosphere is extremely family and kid friendly - they even have all kinds of toys to play with outside. Our girls had permanent smiles on their faces :). I highly recommend this bed and breakfast!!!

Rocky Acre was fun and entertaining for the whole family. We were able to gather eggs from the chickens, feed the goats, ride the pony, feed the calves and enjoy a hayride. The home is well maintained and the farmers breakfast was awesome - a real feast. We will definately be back!

The room was wonderful and the people were very friendly and hospitable! We enjoyed the beautiful setting and the delicious feast for breakfast! It was a nice get-away and we would recommend it to anyone.

Rocky Acre Farm has everything you need for the perfect mini-vacation with your family. B&B is always full of kids who quickly become friends while their parents watch them sipping glass of wine. You get to milk cows, get eggs in the chicken coop, feed the pony, sheep and goats or just ride bicycles. Also, there are various activities like hayrides, pony rides, golf carts. You can spend the whole day at the farm or go visit nearby Amish villages. We will definitely be back soon.

If you are looking for a beautiful place where to spend a couple of days in tranquillity with your family, Rocky Acre is it. Set on beautiful grounds, this lovely B&B offers great activities for children. My daughter decided to celebrate her 12th birthday there and brought her two best friends with her. Favorite activities was bottlefeeding the baby calves and looking for fresh eggs in the early morning. The owners are just fabulous, so very friendly and accommodating.... and their breakfast is the best, never seen so much delicious choices.

We had a lovely stay here. The best parts were the lovely atmosphere and the wonderful, hearty, delicous breakfast. There were so many fun things for children, even toddlers. It was also enlightening to see a working dairy farm in operation, something that could be educational for older kids. I would definitely recommend this for families with children. If we had to change anything, we'd plan to stay the whole time on or near the farm and not even bother with venturing out to the tourist side of Lancaster.

Lovely setting, room, and hospitality! Convenient location for Amish country, Lancaster, Strasburg, and Hershey. The traditional breakfast/feast starts the morning activities and surprises that just keep coming. Fantastic opportunities for families with children of all ages. We met families that have returned for over a decade. We will definately be back!

We were only able to book one nite because this place is so popular -- we all loved it - kids 6 and 8 years old can't wait to go back.

As always we have a wonderful 4 night stay at Rocky Acre. Sumptumous breakfasts, tractor rides, pony rides, hay rides and picking up eggs from the hen house my children ages 2 and 5 were in delight every day. So close to Dutch, Hershey and Cherry Crest Farms this is a perfect location for our annual summer vacation. From staff to guests every one bears smiles every morning. People are open to conversation and helpful with ideas for dinner dining and shopping. Our 4th return and will continue to be an annual destination stop for our family.

This was our 4th visit to Rocky Acre. My oldest is 17 so I wanted to squeeze in one more farm stay before she heads off to college. This time we stayed in the guest house which was perfect, as our 3 children are 11, 16 and 17 and we were beginning to outgrow the main house, plus they liked having a bit more privacy and the ability to come and go (quick hike through the woods connects the properties). We simply love everything about Rocky Acre, from the graciousness of our hosts to the bountiful breakfasts, golf cart rides, kittens, and proximity to Hershey. We are a typical suburban family, but my kids never miss TV or the computer when we are here--there's actually a TV in the guesthouse but we didn't even use it. We first visited about 8 years ago and not a thing has changed, not even the farmer's card tricks at breakfast every morning. As we drove away my husband commented that maybe we'll come back with grandchildren one day . . . .it's that kind of place.

Great family destination for a true to life experience on a working dairy farm. Unplug and enjoy the simple things in life like front porch sitting while holding a purring kitten.

What a wonderful surprise of a B & B with apparently a very large following of devoted return customers. A very special place.

I really hesitate writing a review - I don't want anyone else to find this place, and keep me from getting a reservation the next time. A delightful family B&B - kids rule here. The rooms have multiple beds to fit parents and kids. There are pony rides, rides in an adorable "tractor", a nice long hay ride through the neighborhood farms, a swing set, playhouse, bikes, wagons and other riding toys, a petting farm with goats, sheep and a pony. There is a golf cart families can take out to tool around the farm. A hen house and lots of baskets for the kids to take to collect the eggs. If you get up early enough you can help feed the new born calves, stay up until 9pm and assist with the evening milking. Prime ages for kids to visit Rocky Acre fall between 2-10, any younger and they won't get anything out of it. Any older and they may be too cool. Older kids are given extra privileges and are made to feel important. The breakfast was INCREDIBLE. Mrs. Benner and her daughters (and granddaughter) put out a spread at 8:15am to feed an army. I think I counted at least 10 dishes every morning. Go - if you can get a reservation.

My husband and I stayed at Rocky Acre B&B while on a trip with our twelve-year-old granddaughter. We have stayed in many B&Bs, but this was our granddaughter's first experience. Since she lives in a city, she was enchanted by the real working dairy farm! She loved feeding the baby calves, and she enjoyed all the activities with the other young guests. We all loved getting to know the Benner family and eating the sumptious breakfasts! We will definitely recommend Rocky Acre to our Texas and Oklahoma friends!

This is the most amazing experience that a city person can ever have. We watched two calves born. My son saw a hen lay an egg. He loved driving the golf car (with my foot ready for the break). My son had the most fun of his young life especially since he had the freedom to explore. I was able to enjoy relaxation and an amazing (I mean amazing) breakfast each morning. I will now make sure to book a vacation there at least once a year.

My daughter & family plan to spend several days at this B & B in a few weeks. We were traveling through PA on our way to another destination, so we stayed at the farm B & B, just to see what our grandchildren would be seeing. They are going to have a great time.

Highly recommend Rocky Acre Farm! Excellent accommodations and lots to do!

All around great farm bed and breakfast. We have two boys (8 and 6) who love to stay there and we literally do nothing for a full day except watch them fish, take hay and tractor rides, ride the pony, and play with other kids. This was our third trip to the farm and we have already reserved for next year. Also, it is a great staging area for day trips to Hershey Park and Dutch Wonderland. That says it all.

We had a great time at Rocky Acre! Our 22 month old son loved the animals and the tractor/4 wheeler/golf cart/pony rides. The property was very well kept, our room was very clean and bright and the breakfasts were fantastic. I would highly recommend Rocky Acre!! Thank you!!

I took my two children 3 & 4...they absolutely loved it....they fed a baby lamb with a bottle, milked cows, rode the pony, played with a baby goat, collected eggs from the chickens, and Mr. Benner took them on fun rides around the farm. We will go again!

The Benners are such lovely people, and they serve the most delicious breakfast imaginable. We really enjoyed our last stay (we saw a calf being born!!) and can't wait for the next one!

My family thoroughly enjoyed our stay! My youngest son cried when it was time to leave, saying "I can't leave. This place is my dream!" His sentiments sum up our experience...

Great breakfasts. Animals just enough for the little ones. Cozy room in attic. Unfortunately a very large family of 20 took over the remaining rooms and was outside yelling til late at night. No sleep for us!

My kids, 11, 9 & 6, loved every minute. The cats and rides with farmer Benner were a huge hit. It was a wonderful experience.

Such a great place to bring the family...The kids love running around the farm..pony and hay rides...boats on the creek...hanging out with other familys and roasting marshmallows...good old fashion fun and you might even see a calf being born

We had a wonderful time with our 2 children at this delightful B & B. We milked cows, fed calves, played with kittens, took tractor rides, pony rides and had a delicious breakfast. We had a really relaxing time at this beautiful B & B.

This is a great place for young kids. Everyone is very nice. The food is great. We stayed in the Guest House. Holly is a great person

Convenient location with much to do in nearby Lancaster. A simple and constant delight for small children (under 10). Our kids were constantly on the go from breakfast to bedtime. Half the value of the stay were the others who stayed as well and who provided interesting stories of how they came to the farm and why they keep coming back.

My family loved every minute of our visit in July. I had no idea there would be so much to do; we will stay for three nights next time. My kids, 7 and 5, loved sleeping in a loft bed. They gathered eggs, milked a cow, rode the bikes and scooters and tractors. We all went for a hay ride past beautiful farms and fields and through a covered bridge. The kids rode a pony and an adorable train made out of 55-gallon drums. (Okay, I admit I rode it, too.) My son rode up front on the four-wheeler with other kids, surrounding the farmer, who obviously enjoys the children. Row boat, tire swing, playset, porch swings and a charming play house made us feel like it must have been a great place to raise children. My daughter fell in love with the many kittens, and we met some wonderful families. The breakfast was fabulous -- both the food and the sense of community. We plan to become one of the many families who return year after year.

We've been going to Rocky Acre, annually, for several years now, often more than once a year. That in and of itself should say a lot. It is an excellent place to relax and unwind from the daily "rat race". Seem to meet really nice families each time we go. If you leave the breakfast hungry it's you own fault, but I don't think that has ever happened.

It was our first visit to Rocky Acre and we had a great time. We have two children-a 13 year old daughter and 10 year old son, and I was a little concerend that the teenager might not appreciate the experience...I was wrong! Both kids loved the farm-all of the critters, especially the kittens, they loved exploring in the golf cart, the stream w/ boats, the bikes, balls....there was a lot for them to do. We loved our room, the Founders Suite was was just beautiful-clean and spacious. The breakfast was absolutely delicious with such a huge amount of homemade food that kept coming!! After breakfast Galen gave us a wonderful hayride thru two counties and covered bridges. Galen has the patience of a saint-it was extremely hot and after the hayride my son wanted an ATV ride, Galen was happy to give ATV rides! The farm was a wonderful and relaxing, yet fun getaway for all ages!

You get to ride golf carts even if your a kid. There's big, really good Amish type breakfasts. You get to help around the farm doing chores such has feeding the calves, milking the cows, feeding the goat, and collecting chicken eggs. There are really nice people, cats and sometimes adorable little kittens.

Our family of four (children 7 and 8) stayed 2 nights at Rocky Acre. Not much had changed since I stayed there as a child 25 years ago. This is a good thing! My children enjoyed the same opportunities to play with the animals, learn about dairy farming and eat the wonderful breakfast as I had. There is an open and welcoming environment that makes you feel at home. Mr. Benner is a pleasant and engaging man who clearly enjoys his job and interacting with children. A very enjoyable stay! Thank you.

Very fun and clean farm stay!My daughter is already talking about going back and was so excited gathering eggs and milking the cows!

My family had a wonderful time at Rocky Acre. The breakfast was out of this world! The Farmer's Suite was perfect for for our family of four. Mr. Benner did a fabuous job entertaining the kids with all the farm rides after breakfast while my husband and I had another cup of coffee.

Ahh what could i say about rocky acre farm, It's wonderful amazing and fun. Me and my family have been coming to the farm now for 18years. we come up every august, we cannot wait for this year i have been talking about it for like 2months already. im 21yrs old i have 3 other sister's ranging in age from 17yrs 25yrs and 28yrs. are family keeps extending my 25yr old sister and her fiance have three boys who absolutely love rocky acre, my other sister who is 28 and her husband have a baby girl. we all still very much enjoy it there. i love waking up every morning at 6:00am to gathering egg's. playing with the cats and playing basketball. i love riding on the golf cart's. The breakfast is outstanding, the benner's are our second family, we love them and enjoy there company when we are up there, they are so friendly and so nice. the farm is wonderful the room's are clean and big. we feel at home everytime we go up to the farm. 18yrs and counting cannot wait for august 7th 2011 thank you benner's for a great vacation spot for so many wonderful year's, see you soon faraci family.

My sister & her family have visited the Farm many times. We joined them there for a weekend trip and immediately could see why they loved it! The rooms are spacious, immaculately clean, and comfortable. The breakfast was delicious and plentiful. The kids were busy every moment of the day either fishing, milking the cows, or playing with the other children there. We can't wait to go back next year!

My mom, twin daughters and I stayed for two nights at Rocky Acres. It was incredible! From enjoying the kittens, kayaking in the stream, driving the golf cart, we enjoyed everything. My daughters want to do it again soon.

Fun, quite and just pleasantly peaceful. Your down to earth no TV, computers or ipod, ipads. It's just a wonderful time for all. My kids loved this place, our 3rd year and will be back next year. The owners are so nice. Thanks again for a wonderful time.

Best farm vacation for kids!!! We love the breakfast and creek!! Kids are very entertained by cookie, oreo,kittens and the moo cows!! Cant wait for next july!!!

Exceedingly kid friendly. Breakfast was incredible every day, and they made a real effort to accomodate our dietary needs. Everyone we met, from staff to guests, was happy and friendly. Quiet location, but close to many attractions. We would gladly return. Some of the other guests were there on their 4th, 6th, or even 8th visit.

We just returned from an 8 day adventure through PA. Rocky Acre Farm was by far, the highlight of the trip. There was plenty for our four kids (aged 2-9) to do. Play with kittens, explore the stream, go on a hayride, ride a pony, feed baby calves, I could go on and on. The house was wonderful, room was clean and well appointed. The Innkeepers and staff were very friendly and helpful. The breakfast was unbelievable. We will definitely be returning to Rocky Acre Farm.

Started staying there when my daughter was an infant and have been going back ever since. Worth going just for the family owners (the Benners and their progeny) and breakfast, but the tractor ride, hay ride, pony ride, cow milking and chance to see a calf being born are additional reasons to stay.

We had visited the farm a few times when our 5 children were small and we all loved it. Recently, they asked if we could all go back for a family get-a-way. My husband and I were nervous wondering if the magic would still be there for our kids now that they are older (11,13,15,17,19). Well, we shouldn't have worried - we all had a blast! Although our kids no longer played in the "doll house" there were so many other activities that we all enjoyed (driving the golf cart, the creek, the delicious breakfast, etc) Thank you to the Benners for giving our family a beautiful setting where we could reconnect as a family.

Rocky Acre is a wonderful family retreat! We went sight seeing while there and the kids consisently asked "When are we going back to the farm?" There was so much to do on the property. The owners truly opened their wonderful home for us to visit. The girl's favorites: kittens in the play house, bottle feeding baby cows, and collecting eggs for breakfast. Parent favorites: golf cart, kayak in the stream, ATV ride, hayride through the counrty, and visiting with other wonderful families during our stay. We love Rocky Acre!

My wife, two grandchildren and I thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The accomodations were quite nice and 'homey' and the hosts warm and very hospitable. We really enjoyed the farm..gathering eggs, helping milk cows, etc. This was a wonderful respite from our urban life!

The farm far exceeded our expectations. I especially enjoyed seeing and learning about the dairy poeration. My husband thought the breakfast was wonderful.

We stayed here and drove up to Sesame Place. The best vacation we hve ever had as it was perfectly well-rounded with farm relaxation and tourist opportunities throughout Lancaster area and surrounding. The Brenner's were very friendly and we were blown away by the AWESOME breakfast. I went to bed every night looking forward to not cooking but enjoying a home-style breakfast packed with everything your family could possibly want to eat. We are a family with a sever peanut-allergy and were completely comfortable with the food.

We have a seven year old son, who absolutely LOVES Rocky Acre Farm. At the top of his list: driving the golf cart and playing with the kittens. There are plenty of activities to keep him happy all day on the property, and many options for side trips. Mom and Dad love it too - great breakfast, a chance to relax in a farm setting, and very comfortable accommodations. We enjoyed getting to know the other guests, but you could easily stay private if you like.

We love love love this farm. The kids have so much fun and the breakfast is one of the best we have had. The hospitality is over the top. We are moving due to the military, but if we were not moving, we would go back again and again.

We stayed in the apartment and had plenty of space, they were great with our 2 and 4 year old who had a blast!

We have visited Rocky Acre twice, and it seems most people staying there are repeat customers. This is truly a special place to relax and create beautiful memories for your children...milking a cow, bottle-feeding a 3-hour-old calf, collecting fresh eggs from the hens, kayaking down a picturesque creek, taking a hayride through the farms of Lancaster, etc. The biggest draw for the kids, and most moms, is playing with the numerous sweet kittens roaming the farm. The bountiful breakfast is incredibly fresh and delicious, and I know we'll be back next summer for more memories.

we enjoyed everything about out stay at Rocky Acre. The kids had fun riding bikes, playing with kittens, gathering eggs, fishing, the mini horse ride, tractor ride, and the breakfast was one of the best I've ever had.

Our room was perfect size for our family of 5, and the place was so warm and welcoming and so many activities for the kids were included. They thought of everything to make the stay fun, safe, and easy! We will definitely be back!

We enjoyed our stay so much that we have already made another reservation to include more of our family. With all the places to visit in the area, you could literally stay on the farm and have plenty to do without sightseeing. The hosts and staff were such a blessing! This was our best vacation ever!

The best place to go for a weekend or a vacation . The Benner Family knows hospitality ! The rooms are great, breakfast is terrific and the kids love the rides, the kittens, the chickens and the cows. Nothing can compare to a weekend at Rocky Acres

We just stayed for one night but we had a wonderful time! We will definitely go back! It is all very simple country fun. The kids got to do all the little things, gather chicken eggs, milk the cows, bottle feed the baby calves etc. They loved the little pony ride, the John Deer "train" ride, riding the bicycles and playing in the little play house. The whole family enjoyed the hay ride through the country side. It was very nice visiting with other families, there are tables and chairs outside where you can sit and watch the children play. The breakfast meal did not disappoint! As we were leaving we saw the owner, and our 5 year old son told her (without any prompting): "On a scale or 1-10, with 10 being the highest, I would rate this place a 10!"

The hosts were delightful and there were plenty of activities to keep my young son engaged. A fun weekend!

Make yourself at home was the feel we got there. All the guests sit outside on the porch talking while our kids play together. After the amazing breakfast they serve us, the owner has hay rides, pony rides, and tractor and ATV rides. We gathered eggs from the chicken coop each morning. We got to milk the cows. The kids LOVED the farm life. Down the road is a meadow with a river to fish or go boating. There's a tire swing which the kids loved. There's also a fire pit to make smores. We loved this place and will definately return!

The room we stayed in (Hideaway) was very clean with great linens, etc. Tons of places to sleep and the bathroom was super nice! The farm was so much fun - Galon took time to make sure everyone had fun in the morning with hayrides and ponyrides, etc. Breakfast was awesome - come with a big appetite!

I have to say I loved my stay here..breakfast was excellent, homemade! The Benner's were awesome people to spend time with, Christians, and it shows! How nice to be able to trust people with my kids. We felt like family the moment we met them. The kids thoroughly enjoyed the farm, and Mr Benner treated them like grandkids. He took them on tractors, 4-wheelers, golf carts. He showed them where to collect eggs, and feed baby calves, and milk many cows. My kids loved him. They were sad to go, and are already begging me to make reservations for next year, seeing as how they are booked this summer! We miss Rocky Acres already! :)))) Cant wait to go back!

The farm was lovely. Breakfast was indulgent and plentiful. There were just a couple of things to note; there was no one from the B&B to check us in when we arrived, not a big deal if you don't mind making yourself at home. They provide a binder in each room with detailed directions and instructions to "farm life." There is no way to secure the items in your room, ie, no keys to the different rooms. The owner has very strong opinions about many topics, if you are looking for a demure hostess or someone to have an exchange of ideas with, you will be disappointed.

What's not to like? The proprietors are warm and inviting and love to feed their guests tons of great tasting food! We stayed at the guest house and had an absolutely restful (for us) and exciting (for the kids) time. Lots of room to run and play -- a kid's dream come true. The animals are also entertaining with quirky personalities that endeared them to our family. We look forward to our return visit in the autumn. - Cheryl Henderson-Khalid

First visit since renovation and Rocky Acres is better than ever. We stayed in the beautiful fireplace room which was spacious for our family of four. my 4 year olds loved the outdoors and tricycles, wagons, kittens, playhouse, henhouse, pony, porch swing. the breakfast was plentiful and delicious and the other guests are always lovely to get to know as well. Holly was very helpful in planning our area visits. A reliably wonderful place to visit.

We all had such a great time at the farm! So much to do, yet so relaxing. The breakfast was unbelievable! It said alot to see that so many families that were there had been going there for several years. We will definitley be back!!

Cannot say enough wonderful things about Rocky Acres. Beautiful B&B with so many activities for the little ones. The innkeepers could not have been friendlier and the breakfasts were delicious! Thank you so much for your hospitality...we will definitely be back next year!

We had a wonderful time, but the staff were not easily available. No one was there when we got there and we werent even sure where to go. We actually never met the owners until breakfast the next morning. So, my only complaint is that. We were pretty much, on our own. Nothing was explained to us and we didn't know where the creek or anything was until another guest told us the third day we were there.

a wonderful B&B and a real treat for the children/grandchildren who enjoyed all the farm activities and farm animals. The hosts offered opportunities for various tractor rides and pony rides for the children, which were a lot of fun. Breakfast is a real treat with a continuous supply of delicious food and wonderful company. The B&B is set in the beautiful farmland of PA.and a good change from life in the city.

Great time! Our entire family had a wonderful time. Rooms were great, breakfast was unbelievable, and the whole farm experience was one to remember. Can't wait to come back for another "farmstay"!

The kids had a wonderful time, as did my husband and I. They collected eggs from the hen house, watched the cows getting milked, bottle fed a calf, fed the breakfast leftovers to the cats, pony and goat, went on pony rides, a "train" ride, and a hay ride. Breakfasts were delicious, and huge. Be warned that you probably won't want any lunch. Follow the back-roads tours suggested by the staff and you will get a great tour through the heart of Amish country. We look forward to going back again soon.

We wanted to see in Lancaster and found this B&B online. It was beyond my wildest expectations. My 2-year-old son loved every minute of staying there. So did I. We loved it. We woke up the next morning to a giant home cooked breakfast with all the other guests. We will be back. It was one of the highlights to our stay in Lancaster. Everyone was nice. It was a little pricy but the room we had was huge. Worth the money 100% A lot of B&B don't accept kids. Here they embrace them. My son loved the tractor ride and I got to go with him

Rocky Acre is a wonderful place to take your children, or anyone who likes a farm. This was our second time going and we took my parents this time. We all loved the homey feeling of being there, and the activities that you can do. The breakfast is awesome, better than any restaurant I've ever been too! The rooms we've stayed in are very clean, there are "lived in" parts of the house that are a little messy but I guess that comes with being on a farm. We would definitely recommend Rocky Acre, and will prob go back again sometime.

The Rocky Acre Farm B&B is such a nice place to visit that my kids did not want to leave. They gathered eggs from the coop, watched cows getting milked and chased the endless supply of cats. The morning breakfast is lovely and Galen goes out of his way to make sure the kids have fun.

This was our second visit. The Efficiency room was perfect for a family of 4. Our kids (14 & 13) enjoyed canoeing in the river, tire swing, evening bon fire, golf cart rides from here to there and so much more. We have been present for the birthing of a calf and got a chance to milk a cow. The breakfast was awesome and we all left the table stuffed. From the house we traveled a short distance to eat dinner. During the day we went antiquing, found covered bridges, shopped at the many outlet malls and enjoyed shopping in Bird-in-Hand (Amish shops). Highly recommend Rocky Acres!!

We love Rocky Acre. This was our fifth visit and we have never been disappointed! Highly recommend it.

This was are 5th stay at Rocky Acre and it was never better! We brought several of our friends and they really enjoyed their stay. We are all going to try to come back so we can stay longer, but my family will be back every year!

From the time we arrived untill we left we felt very welcomed. The children couldn't stop talking about their stay. Each one from age 3 to age 10 had a great time and the only time there were sad faces was when we told them it was time to leave. Will recomend this place to all of my family and friends young and old.

We found the Rocky Acre farm 9 years ago when our children were 4 and 7 years old. It fast became a family favorite get away spot. We have always loved the Lancaster area for exploring, shopping and eating and adding Rocky Acre to the experience just put it over the top. Our son cried all the way home after our first trip. He didn't want to leave. He is now 16 and still loves 'going to the farm'. He has since graduated from pony rides and homemade train rides to driving the golf cart on his own and has a ball doing it. My daughter and I had the wonderfully unique experience of feeding a baby bull calf, newly born. We had this opportunity on our last two visits and my daughter talks about it often. I can't say enough about Mr. and Mrs. Benner. They are wonderful hosts that make you feel like you've just come home from a long stay away. The morning breakfast is out of this world delicious and very plentiful. Mrs. Benner takes great pride in feeding you well. It is always so much fun sitting around the dining room table with the other house guests and seeing where everyone is from. It never seems to matter where they're from, what their family status is or what their religious beliefs are. When you're there you are all one big family praying around the breakfast table for each other and giving thanks for this special experience. In a time where families are busy running in many directions keeping up with everyone's activities, a stay at Rocky Acre Farm is the perfect way to slow down, reconnect and spend some real quality time together. Thank you Benner Family for providing this wonderful opportunity.

We returned for a family farm stay at Rocky Acres Farm Bed and Breakfast last weekend and the warm welcome and well-planned family activities far exceeded our expectations. Rooms were spacious and clean, breakfast was delicious and bountiful and the activities, from collecting farm-fresh eggs in the chicken coop to a hayride to kayaking, made it a perfect family weekend getaway. We can't wait to return. All vacations should be this perfect!

Fabulous place to stay! Our 2 year old loved it and didn't want to leave. From the time we ate a delicious breakfast (pancakes, fresh eggs, turkey bacon, fruit, custard, oatmeal & more), we were busy on the farm. There were pony rides, a "train" ride behind a tractor, a 30 minute hayride, four-wheeler rides, and more. It was so much fun and the Benner's were great hosts.

My children and I stayed at Rocky Acre Farm for one night. We wished we had more time there. The farm was so much fun. The kids had a blast playing with the kittens, milking the cows, feeding the newborn calfs, and collecting the eggs for breakfast. We had to drag them away. They both said that it was the highlight of their trip to Pennsylvania. The food was wonderful! The only complaint we had was there was some sort of bugs crawling around the ceiling in our room. Perhaps coming in from the cold weather outside. Otherwise the room was immaculate and we all enjoyed the fireplace. The beds were very comfortable. We look forward to returning soon.

Thank you for visiting with us at Rocky Acre. We are glad you were able to experience the farm life and enjoy the farmers breakfast. We apologize for the "stinkbugs" on the ceiling. The Lancaster area had been bombarded with them and we were trying to do our best to eliminate them. We are thankful they have gone and appreciate your enthusiasm to visit with us again.

We stayed in the Century Room, which was small but clean and nicely arranged and offered a very cool amenity: a loft bed up in the rafters! Our 3yo was a bit young to want to sleep up there, but in a year or two I can see her refusing to get down. Breakfast was really, really good. After breakfast, the activities began... and I think it ruined vacations for my daughter for life! That night we got out of the car at our motel the next night, she looked around and said "Where are all the kids? Where's the pony?" Most of the guests at Rocky Acres had young children, and the activity experience is definitely geared towards the young and the young at heart. Pony rides on a miniature pony, a ride around the farm in a "train" made of barrels, a hayride, milking cows, collecting eggs. And the oodles of cats and kittens happy to be pet and played with! I have a 3yo and an 18mo and they both had an absolute blast. There were two slightly older girls (tween/young teen?) and they were having a great time too... I definitely don't mean to imply that this is a toddler-only trip. The owners were very friendly and very much made us feel at home. Even after we checked out they let us borrow one of the golf carts and drive down to the creek, where they have some boats and a tire swing and it was very peaceful and nice. This was a great find and I already can't wait to go back. It's very telling that we were the only guests who were staying there for the first time: every other family was a repeat visitor who made the trip at least annually. What a great tradition. (A note: this IS a working dairy farm. If you're not into dirt, animals, cats, cows, or normal farming practices you might want to skip this place. Inside the inn is very clean, but if you're not going to enjoy the farm activities then there isn't much point to staying there)

Eileen and Galen are the BEST Hosts! They welcome you to the B&B as if it were your own home! Eileen and her staff prepare the most hearty delicious breakfast you ever had! Galen is wonderful with all the kids, he takes them on pony and tractor rides always with a smile! Prepare to meet wonderful people and relax in the beautiful countryside. We go there twice a year. Have been going for the past six years. My oldest is now 17 and still looks forward to going!! God Bless the Benners

Was excellent stay - from the first rate service to the cleanliness of the room - to the friendliness of the staff - a very welcome stay

So excited to finally bring my children to a Bed & Breakfast where they are clearly welcome! The innkeepers are fabulous with kids and go out of their way make each one of them feel special. The breakfast is huge and tastes fantastic. Great family get away at an affordable price. We've gone back every year since we first discovered Rocky Acres and plan on continuing..

WE WERE THERE IN 1999 AND IT WAS A WONDERFUL PLACE TO GO. THE BENNERS ARE SUPER NICE AND MAKE YOU FEEL AT HOME. I REMEMBER THE EGGS IN A BASKET FOR BREAKFAST.

what a great place to stay. so much to do and kids love it... they give you such a big breakfast, your full all day.. great people own the farm. they are truly blessed. after breakfast the kids get pony rides,hayride and also a tractor ride. there is nothing bad to say. if you never been to a b&b, you should try this one. its like being at home on a farm.........
