The location and space of the rooms at the Columbian was wonderful. The linens, bed, TV were all excellent. I certainly plan to stay here when I return next to this area of Pennsylvania. Thank you so much for your friendliness!! Jane

The Columbian Inn and Retreat is an excellent choice for a stay in or near Columbia. It is conveniently located off Route 30 and close to many of Lancaster County’s attractions. But that is not why I stay. I stay because of the gorgeous entrance, the comfortable and quiet rooms and the excellent breakfasts provided by the innkeeper. Karen, the innkeeper is also a massage therapist and has recently teamed up with a yoga instructor who offers 2 yoga classes a week. These added perks make any stay at the Inn one to relish. I would recommend this Inn for a longer stay while touring Lancaster County, a weekend retreat, or an overnight when driving through this area on Route 30.

4.0 out of 5Great Thanksgiving Stay
December 15, 2011
This was our second time staying at the Columbian Inn and once again we had a great time. Karen is a great B&B hostess and makes marvelous breakfasts. We are both vegetarians and that did not hinder her creativity. We plan to stay at the Inn again when we visit family in the area. Joan and Laird Lorenz
5 out of 5Great Event at the Columbian Inn
August 15, 2011
To celebrate my mother's 70th birthday, we recently held a special dinner at the Columbian Bed & Breakfast in Lancaster County, PA. Innkeeper Karen Umlauf did a wonderful job for us! She thought of everything - the varied menu, the fancy cake, the flower centerpieces and more. My family loved the intimate setting, the personal service and the delicious food. Family members also spent the night at Karen's B&B and raved about the beautiful rooms and apple pancakes Karen made for them the next morning. Karen helped us create a fantastic event that everyone - especially my mom - will long remember. I would highly recommend The Columbian Bed & Breakfast in Lancaster, PA for a special event or a weekend getaway.
5 out of 5A wonderful B+B experience!
June 29, 2011
Everything about our 2 night stay was exceptional. Beautiful older home and room, lovely and serene garden area, great location, and the best part was the amazing breakfast each day. This was our first B+B stay in the U.S. and it set a standard that will be hard to match. Vicki & Dan New Jersey
5 out of 5The Excellent Columbian Inn
April 04, 2011
The Inn feels like home away from home with many additional comforts and elegance. This was our 5th stay at the Inn and each time there are additional nicities. The rooms are so beautifully appointed, the breakfasts are delicious, etc. But, most of all the innkeeper Karen makes you feel so welcome and at ease.
