I placed a reservation request in the morning, and they called me in the early afternoon to let me know there was availability, which was great. I appreciated the variety of 15 wines from which you could sample to create your tasting. My picks consisted of: -2020 Sauvignon Blanc -2020 Fusion (white) -2020 Cellar 1599 Riesling: Cellar 1599 is a Waltz label, for reference. -2018 Cellar 1599 Red Blend -2017 Baron Red I won't go into detail on my experiences with each wine, but I did have a glass (and then buy a bottle) of the Riesling. The tastings come in little tasting tubes that are basically test tubes. While some might find that unusual, I'm a science person, so I liked it! They also have a cheese board (choose one of four cheeses) with chocolate and crackers, which I added. The tasting room staff were friendly and accessible. It was a beautiful day and lots of families were out on the large lawn. Too bad there isn't a restaurant here, or it would be even more of a win. In any case, Waltz is a winner!

This is a wonderful choice to stay in northern Lancaster County…read more Carol and Steve are consummate country hosts, and their 5 acre "farmette" is a perfect weekend get away. Carol is an accomplished chef, creating incredible breakfasts that include fresh fruits and fresh-from-the-henhouse eggs (not to mention delectable golden raspberries from the backyard). After breakfast, Steve will let your children take part in feeding (and walking) the young, hazelnut-loving goats and healthy chickens, and even taking a tractor ride around the well-landscaped, rolling hills of the property. The house is extremely clean, well-appointed and welcoming. Say "Hi" to the adorable young steer "Calvin" in the front pasture too! A gem of a place run by an excellent couple.

We stayed here over a weekend to spend some time at my kids' favorite place (Cherry Crest Farms)…read more Country Vistas Bed and Breakfast was stumbled upon through the DiscoverLancaster.com site under Farm Stays. After seeing the location description, OF COURSE I checked Yelp. Here is the short of it: Carol and her husband are wonderful hosts and their home and surrounding land are very, very well maintained. There are animals in penned areas on their 5 acres, their house is pretty traditional décor and with its additions, rather modern(ish). This is their home and not specifically a "working farm" like Verdant View or like an Amish stay - which we loved because we were happy to have nice accommodations without overwhelming fragrances and allergic reactions to hay (we found out on this trip that one of us is VERY allergic and big baby about it). Lots of views to take in and things for kids to do during the morning. The long of it: The house sits on top of a hill overlooking hills in the back and farms in the foreground past the new subdivision. The driveway to their house is lined with trees (very picturesque). The home is spacious and a shoe-free site. You can put your shoes on the trays outside on the porch (complete with gliders and chairs with views to the tree swing (cute) and play structure (Super tall slide and swings) and a tether ball area. The farm-ish part: They have a horse to ride (Lilah). My daughter LOVED this part the best and was obsessed with the horse for the remainder of the trip. They also have goats to walk and feed, 1 sheep, chicken coop with lots of hens to collect eggs and feed, and kittens to hold were some of the penned animals here. The produce being grown on their 5 acres was fun to pick (my daughter went crazy on their raspberries - well, as much as a 2 year old can, at least) We were expecting to have a farm stay, and although the house is located on 5 acres with animals and produce gardens/fields, it is really more like staying in a nice house that is more on the contemporary side. We stayed in the Kwanzan Room (aka like the Cherry Blossom tree that has tons of puffy pink blooms). This room was perfect for what we needed - we had 2 rooms and a shared bathroom between those two. One room had a king bed and a Pack 'N Play in the closet and the other had a queen with a bunk (my son was so thrilled, he ended up wanting to stay on the top). The bathroom had plenty of towels and Carol refilled the disposable cup holder and took out the trash during the day while we were out - nice and surprising touch). The sheets were super soft and the beds were comfortable - no complaints here. My daughter leaned backwards (hard) towards the door - so she kind of fell into the door when she learned hard and the stop wasn't strong enough to stop her from pushing the lock into the wall making a small dent. Carol was forgiving and surprised that my daughter could do that, but my son can attest to how strong that little squirt is. The Kwanzan rooms did not share a wall with other rooms so it was nice not to share noises. There were 2 other families with little ones that weekend... so it was nice to see that the noise didn't travel far. We didn't go out on the back deck, but we wish we had.. the views were beautiful from there. We were parched from our long ride without potty-breaks, but we didn't an area where water was easily accessible (not that we asked either), but I am sure Carol would have given us some had we asked - she is kind of the wonderful host that way. The coffee-addicts that we are, we were snooping around for coffee again around 11 and it was put away, but Carol quickly gave us new mugs and did that wonderful host thing she did (she probably was not expecting people completely fueled by caffeine - lol) The breakfast: Carol can make some amazing things. Breakfast 1: Scrambled eggs (good), French Toast (yum), Fresh raspberries from garden (amazing, of course), tomatoes with lite Italian dressing and parm (my son only wanted plain tomatoes - it could have worked either way.. the tomatoes were sweet), baked oatmeal (really good), sausage (i forget which brand this is, but it tasted like the one that is precooked and vacuum sealed in rows - easy for quick cooking, but causes that rubbery feel... I used this for a party once and for a way to do a quick breakfast. It is not the best tasting sausage, but certainly not terrible. OJ & water on the table and coffee in the kitchen. Breakfast 2: This was my favorite - Egg frittata with cheese, green beans (individually halved= tons of work and probably garden fresh.. amazing), apple crisp (this is the best one I've tasted in a long time), Tomatoes (again with dressing and cheese - good), chocolate chip pancake and blueberry cake, BACON - this disappeared so fast, but Carol had a new plate right away. It was all delicious.. That Apple Crisp is something I still dream about.

My stay this past weekend at Manheim Manor was fantastic in every way. I took a trip to…read morePennsylvania Dutch country and found this place due to its awesome reviews, and now, after having stayed there for three nights, I see why everyone has been so glowing. Here are a few of the reasons that I thoroughly enjoyed staying at Manheim Manor: -Todd & Lorene: These two are truly some of the most gracious hosts you could ask for. In addition to just genuinely being nice and thoughtful people, they are also full of history about the home, the area around Lancaster, and more. When more guests were coming in the other nights and parking was getting tight, Todd called me to let me know a special place I could park in the back of the house. They are engaging conversationalists and make it a pleasure to stay here. I had mentioned to them that I was a cyclist and hoped to find some nearby biked trails, so Lorene printed out trail maps for me that I ended up using the next day to go on a ride. -The room: I stayed in the Peaches & Cream room, which has a great screened-in patio that made for a wonderful place to sit outside and read in the evenings. This was really one of the selling points for me as I wanted to stay somewhere where I had some private outdoor space, and this fit the bill. The rooms at the Manor aren't huge, but that was totally fine as I didn't have that many things with me anyway. The bed was quite comfortable as well, and despite the traditional nature of the home, they also had a Roku for streaming, which I ended up using one evening for Hulu. -The house and history: Built in the late 19thcentury, Manheim Manor is an exercise in historical exploration, in the best way. There is a downstairs library with a great collection of books ranging from Shakespeare to mystery books that I read as a kid (Nancy Drew, anyone?). There's an upstairs library of VCR tapes that brought back memories from just looking at the covers. Lorene took me on a tour of the house and showed me a variety of interesting historical points in its various rooms. The property also features a great outdoor seating area in the backyard. -The food: This is really a high point! In addition to being an innkeeper, apparently a great handyman, and many other things, Todd is also a refined chef and makes culinary creations that wow people every day. From the blueberry pancakes to the orange scones to the broccoli and cheese quiche...wow! Having been very fortunate to have visited many a highly regarded restaurant across the world, I can easily say that Todd's breakfast rivals some of the best morning means I've had in Paris, Tokyo, and beyond. There is also a great collection of tea and many other things that make breakfast at Manheim Manor the best part of waking up. Now for the bad...I don't have anything to say. I always try to have one point that's not overly positive so that my reviews seem more "real," but I honestly can't think of anything that isn't glowing to say about my stay. Lorene and Todd are wonderful, and all the other guests I met during my stay were friendly and neighborly as well. I have no doubt that upon my next visit to the area, I'll stay here again.

I'd driven past it countless times over the last few years but either didn't have enough time to stop or couldn't convince anyone else to stop with me. During my Lancaster Adventure Day, though, all of that changed. I purchased a Single Scoop ticket online ahead of time for $16.75 and reserved the very first time slot of the day at 10am. I figured a late-summer Thursday morning would be the sweet spot, and it turned out to be a great decision. It was busy enough that the place felt lively but not so crowded that I had to wait for every exhibit. Parking was plentiful, and I somehow managed to snag a spot right in front of the GIANT cow out front. Honestly, my day was already off to a fantastic start! The only hiccup of the visit came during check-in. Even though I'd already purchased my ticket online, I still had to wait in the same line as everyone buying gift shop items, purchasing admission and asking questions. Since there were only a two employees working both the registers and admissions, the line moved a little slower than I expected. If I could change one thing, it would be creating a separate express check-in line for folks who already have tickets. Once I finally made it inside, though, everything became easy peasy! The exhibits are completely self-guided, so you can wander at your own pace learning how Turkey Hill makes its ice cream and iced tea while playing with interactive displays along the way. One of my favorite parts was creating my own virtual ice cream flavor, complete with custom packaging. I also wanted to film my own Turkey Hill commercial, but those stations stayed busy the entire time I was there, so that'll have to wait until another visit. Naturally, I made a beeline for the tea sampling station. As someone who appreciates sugar-free options, I was thrilled to find both Zero Sugar Sweet Tea and Zero Sugar Fruit Punch available to sample. Both were fantastic! Then it was time for the part we'd all been waiting for...unlimited ice cream samples. One thing I really appreciated is that they weren't tiny little "blink and it's gone" samples. You picked two flavors, and they served actual scoops in a bowl. For an attraction centered around ice cream, that felt exactly right. My only tiny complaint? Wooden popsicle sticks instead of spoons. They definitely got the job done, but they made eating melting ice cream a little more awkward than it needed to be. Still...free and unlimited ice cream? I'm not about to complain too loudly! I spent about an hour wandering through the exhibits, playing with the interactive displays and enjoying the air conditioning on a hot August morning before making one final stop in the gift shop. Prices there were about what you'd expect for a tourist attraction, but there were plenty of fun souvenirs if you're looking to bring a little Turkey Hill home with you. Overall, I'd absolutely recommend visiting the Turkey Hill Experience at least once. I don't know that it's somewhere I'd return over and over again, but it was a fun, interactive way to spend an hour learning something new, eating entirely acceptable quantities of free ice cream and escaping the August heat. That sounds like a pretty successful adventure day to me!
