The perfect gift for every occasion

    Originally the upstairs parlor in the front of the house, this florally decorated suite has seven large windows, ornate 1 1/4 strip oak floors, pillared archway, queen lace canopy bed, parlor stove, and cable TV/VCR/DVD. A flight of steps within the room leads to the loft dressing area and private bathroom. The loft has a day bed for an additional person.

    Alden House: best choice for Lititz, Pa.

    December 10, 2012

    My wife and I have stayed at four different Bed and Breakfast places in Lititz, Pa. over the past several years. Everything aspect (room, bed, furniture, cleanliness, service, breakfast, value for the price, etc.) gets our top rating. Lititz is a nice destination and the Alden House is by far, the best place to stay! Jeff and Sonia Keller
