    Inn Details

    Surrounded by meadows and gardens, Swiss Woods is a quiet retreat on 30 acres in Lancaster's Amish country. All rooms feature patios or balconies, some overlooking Speedwell Forge Lake, and are decorated with the natural wood furnishings typical of Switzerland. Fabulous breakfasts, complemented by our own blend of coffee and a wide assortment of specialty teas, are served in our sunlit common room. Enjoy the views of extraordinary gardens, landscaped with a wide variety of annuals and perennials. Take a hike, watch the birds and relax! ...Where the cookie jar is always full! German spoken.

    Innkeeper Information

    Innkeepers Description:

    Werner's special talent is evidenced in the profusion of flowers surrounding the inn. Annuals, unusual perennials, flowering shrubs and bushes abound. Woodland wildflowers, like the elusive Jack-in-the Pulpit, peek out along the edges of paths. Bee Balm attracts the hummingbirds and Buddleia the butterflies. Debbie's talents are more evident in the wonderful breakfasts and lovely rooms in Swiss Woods.

    What a wonderful place to get away from the stress and rat race of every day living. We thoroughly enjoyed the atmosphere, beautiful naturalized gardens and hospitality afforded us by the innkeepers and staff. The rooms are beautiful and well appointed. The breakfasts and homemade goodies (which were available all day) were absolutely delicious!!! We will definitely return, and soon!

    Innkeeper Response
    We are glad that you enjoyed the gardens and the attention we pay to our breakfast and afternoon sweets. We look forward to your return visit!

    We were delighted with our accommodations. The Inn is beautiful and the food delicious. The atmosphere was very relaxing and the dog was a delightful part of the Swiss feeling. The driveway up to the Inn was for me a bit unnerving. As I drove up the whole scene came together and was a wonderful sight to behold.

    A hidden oasis tucked away in PA. The grounds are intoxicating, the rooms charming, and the innkeepers perfectly balance being available should you wish to seek input on nearby attractions, however they disappear the rest of time, making visitors feel free to fully relax and enjoy the inn. The staff was fantastic to work with and make you feel right at home. The food was incredible and everything was quite clean. Enjoyable place to visit, relax and explore.

    We arrived later in the evening to delicious cookies and lemon bars with coconut (melted in you month) They also had a great selection of hot chocolate and teas (including herbal) which was wonderful because we are not coffee drinkers ! We had fun playing games from their nice choice of games that evening. The beds where so comfortable I forgot I was not at home, and of course the breakfast was the best including waffles, scrapple, sausage and fresh raspberries and peaches! Debbie and Werener also made us feel so welcome!
