    Outstanding B&B

    What a beautiful B&B!!! Rooms are gorgeous and the hosts treat you like family. We hated to leave. Bonnie is an outstanding cook and went out of her way to accommodate my gluten allergy. We have never stayed anywhere that we felt so welcome. Can't wait to go back.

    Truly Delightful!

    April 30, 2011

    I spent a great deal of time hunting for the perfect place to stay when bringing my mother on our first trip to the Lancaster area. I finally selected Kimmell House and I'm so glad that I did. Dave & Bonnie have a wonderful & beautiful home. We stayed in the Country room, which was perfect for our needs with the twin beds. The accommodations were wonderful, from the comfortable bed and private bathroom to the open kitchen with coffee readily available. Bonnie makes an excellent breakfast that it both filling and so very tasty. Their home is beautifully decorated and very inviting. Bonnie made me feel as though I wasn't just a guest, but a part of their family. I would HIGHLY recommend this b&b to anyone and will be spreading the word about this little gem. And don't forget to check out their little gift shop - we did a lot of shopping on this trip and found that we really loved her gift shop!

    Highly Reccomended!!!!A++++

    February 28, 2011

    We would like to give a 2 thumbs up review for the Kimmell House. Located in a great location for those who love to antique and also for those who want to shop those great outlets in Lancaster. We have stayed at BNB's thru out the Lancaster area and we are so glad we found this one. Bonnie and Dave were very gracious hosts making sure all our needs were met. I am absolutely very picky about the type of house to the linens on the bed. It has to reflect the charm and decor of the era. The Kimmell House did just that. I loved Bonnie's decorating. The rooms were spacious and so were the bathrooms. The wide plank floors to the funishings that relfect the period. The breakfast's were great and filled us up for our busy day of antiquing and kept us going to dinner. Bonnie & Dave were very laid back and easy to talk to. I love to find out about the history of the house and as Bonnie said the bones of the building. It has a tale to tell and I love to hear it. Bonnie and Dave you have a special gem there and Tony and I will definitely be back.

    Bonnie and Dave felt like instant friends!

    What a wonderful B&B! The house was clean, comfortable, beautifully decorated and transported me back in time to a simpler way of living. The host and hostess could not have been nicer or more accommodating. The town of Ephrata was wonderful with quaint stores and great restaurants. I will find a reason to go back to Ephrata as often as possible.

    What a wonderful place for a get-away.

    September 18, 2009

    My two sisters and I finally had a chance to get away for a few days together. We stayed at the Kimmell House Bed and Breakfast and had such a wonderful time. The rooms and the entire house for that matter were just beautiful. We all would recommend a stay there to everyone; and we would definitely stay there again and again. We just can't say enough about how at home we felt. Thank you Dave and Bonnie!!
