Churchtown Inn B&B

  • Inn Details

    On the National Historic Register, the Churchtown Inn is a beautiful mansion graced with comfortable elegance. Our location in the middle the most beautiful farmland in Lancaster County provides breathtaking views that may be enjoyed from our flower garden or from our glass-enclosed, stone-floor garden room. Enjoy evening tea and sherry in our victorian double parlors, snuggle up with a book in our cozy den, bike or walk through the glorious backroads, or sit quietly by our garden fountain. Churcthown Inn provides ample space to get away from it all with your innkeepers always nearby, ready to help you learn about their Amish and Mennonite neighbors and other area attractions. On many evenings, the Inn provides guests with the one-of-a-kind experience of dinner in an Amish or Mennonite home. Wake to the aromas of a hearty breakfast and the sounds of Amish buggies clip-clopping past the Inn. All rooms feature private baths, queen-sized beds dressed in beautiful handmade Amish quilts, and wondeful antiques. All Amish attractions, antique areas, crafts, hot air ballooning, gliding, rafting, microbrewery, museums, ghost tours, buggy rides, great food, dinner with Amish families, and farmers markets are nearby.

    The innkeepers were so friendly - we felt comfortable right away. The rooms were lovely and comfortable and the breakfast was one of the most delicious I have ever had. One of my favorite parts of this inn was the garden - it was serene and peaceful. I would DEFINITELY go there again!

    My husband & I had such a wonderful time at the Churchtown Inn B&B. It was comfortable, quaint and the food was delicious. Best of all, after a few hours, I felt like we were staying with family.We learned so much about the Amish community from Jim. Our dinner with Mary was a fantastic experience. Infact, the whole trip was a fantastic experience. You can definitely count on my husband & I visiting again!! Josephine & Anthony

    My husband and I had the most wonderful time, Jim and Chris are great people and we felt welcomed in their home, breakfast was amazing - hearing the horse and buggies going by in the morning was a great treat - the second day - Jim had my tea ready and brought it outside I was really impressed - considering the house was full and he remembered that I drank tea and not coffee

    The Friday before Christmas and all through out minds was an escape to Lancaster. We usually just do the 'day trip' from the Jersey Shore but this time we wanted something special. So we randomly picked a B & B and ended up with the Churchtown Inn. We were warmly greeted by Jim Farr who proceeded to give us a history of this historic B&B ... since it was a rare slow Friday night we were also able to scope out all of the bedrooms at this inn. Spying unique rooms that might be future requests on our list. The innkeeper's choice for our room was perfect with a gaslit fireplace, a very comfy queen sized bed and a room decorated to make us feel special. Having read the website, I had to ask about the one closet and ... as I opened the door I was truly surprised and impressed. The back dining area provides an outstanding view of Lancaster County farm land and the entire inn is just plain comfortable ... we were tempted to not go shopping but just to enjoy the ambiance including the sherry, homemade cookies and delicious choices of teas. We woke up before the morning breakfast bell and were treated to the outstanding hospitality of Jim and his wife Chris. Breakfast was yummy, filling and Chris' special eggs in wontons had both of us trying to figure out how to make it at home. The Amish made granola cereal was so good we brought two bags home with us. We lingered as long as we could before heading out shopping but have already decided that in the future we don't have to have any guesswork because the Churchtown Inn will be our only choice for a Lancaster B&B escape!
