    A caring, kind hostess

    January 22, 2012

    My husband and I stayed in the French Room for a few nights after Christmas. The room was clean, cozy, and warm. Each morning Ann served us a lovely breakfast and was completely sensitive to our dietary needs. We felt pampered and cared for. It was a lovely place to stay, with a lovely hostess.

    "We found this the perfect haven after a busy day. We stayed in the luxurious & comfortable French room with its authentic and creative decor. Our lovely hostess, Ann provided a warm welcome with helpful suggestions & both fabulous and abundant food. It is practically across the street from the Masonic Village with easy access to the beautiful Lancaster County attractions."

    Exceptional experience!

    June 27, 2011

    From the moment we walked in the door, we felt welcomed. We stayed in the Garden Room, which was both immaculate and tastefully decorated. The fresh local foods were deliciously and innovatively prepared, as well as tailored to our dietary tastes and restrictions. Ann and Dave were also very willing to help you with our travel plans and destinations that included many memorable sights and sounds. We will not only return on our next trip to Lancaster County, but also would recommend the Amanda Gish House Bed & Breakfast to anyone interested in a relaxing and an enjoyable stay with warm and inviting hosts.

    "Wonderful Stay - but wasn't long enough"

    June 02, 2011

    We stayed in the Rose room, very cozy, and the bed so comfortable we didn't want to get up in the morning. The best part was the champagne bubble tub, so relaxing after a long day of sight-seeing. Thank you for making our stay a memory we won't forget! Diane & Bill, Sparks, NV

    Fabulous Visit

    May 26, 2011

    Stayed at the Amanda Gish House for (1) evening to attend a graduation the next day. Wished we could have stayed a lot longer. The Inn, the hosts and everything about the place was extremely enjoyable. Extremely clean, comfortable and we where definitely made to feel at home. We visit Elizabethtown College several times a year. We used to stay in a hotel. Never again. The Amanda Gish House will be our first choice. Breakfast was out of this world. I can't say enough about this place. A++++ would highly recommend to evryone.

    This is the best

    November 17, 2010

    I stay at the Amanda Gish B&B twice a year for an extended time and they are like family to me and to all their guests. This is one of the very best B&B's I have ever stayed in.

    exceptional B&B

    November 14, 2010

    My husband and I recently had a 1 night stay in the garden room. The room exceeded our expectations. Ann and Dave were friendly and helpful, offering suggestions for dinner and sites to see. Breakfast was also outstanding. We would definitely recommend it to others.
