    My daughter and I enjoyed a mini-vacation in Lancaster. We chose to stay at the Tea Kettle Inn because we had stayed there in the past and had a wonderful time. Patty & Kevin are charming hosts. The rooms are very clean & comfortable. Patty's breakfasts are delicious. We can't wait to go back to visit again!
