Stayed for 6 nights in early February 2012. Hosts Lynndell and John are gracious and friendly without being intrusive. Lynndell's breakfasts were delicious and I greatly appreciated her abundant filling of my gluten-free dietary needs. I stayed in the Scandia Room, which was cozy but very warm when I had the door closed. I had to use the electric fan to stay comfy, especially at night. If you like a warm room, this is the one! Lititz is a lovely town, this B&B is right on Main Street, very convenient to shops and cafes/deli's. A wonderful stay.

With a snowfall the previous night, we were concerned if we would be able to utilize our reservation. The parking lot had been cleared and walks sholved upon our arrival and the property was beautiful in the fresh snow. The in-room fireplace was wonderful after a cold visit to the local shops. We want to return in better weather, but the stay was very relaxing.

It was charming. My room was beautifully appointed and very (spotlessly) clean. I had a small single room, the front corner of the house, as I was traveling alone, but it was perfect. I would come back with my family. The street outside my window, in the heart of this beautiful town, looked like something from a storybook. I felt as though I had stepped back in time. Definitely not the experience you would have in any corporate hotel or motel facility. As for breakfast-it was wonderful. Strangers at breakfast, but everyone talked like old friends. Easy to understand why, we were all enjoying being there so much. This place is a gem.
