Description
Circa 1763. This colonial inn is located just a quarter mile from the Ephrata Cloister in the heart of Pennsylvania Dutch Country, an area known for the Amish, antiques, rolling hills and farm land, and quaint towns and shops. The innkeepers, Dave and Rebecca Gallagher, have blended historic charm with modern comfort and convenience, to create a casual, homey atmosphere for their guests. Breakfast is always a treat and includes the Smithton's signature granola, homemade yogurt, muffins and breads in addition to a delicious hot entrée that alternates between sweet and savory. Each spacious guest room boasts a working fireplace and is decorated with hand-sewn Amish quilts, antique & hand crafted furniture. Modern conveniences include a flat screen TV with DVD player, clock radio with iPod docking station, and wireless internet access throughout the inn. After a day of taking in all the activities Lancaster County has to offer, guests can be found rocking on the front porch, watching horse and buggies pass by, or relaxing by the fire pit in the back garden, surrounded by flowers, birds and bunnies. Families traveling with young children or with pets can be accommodated in Tailor's Cottage.Publicity and Awards: New York, Country Living, Early American Life, Washington Post, Philadelphia Inquirer., Channel 2 News.Location: Country and Village.
