It is obvious that this family has taken a lot of pride and effort to making this Inn a relaxing and memorable experience. Breakfast was fantastic! It was a great way to start our day. My fiance and I stayed in the Butternut Cottage and it was beautiful. I loved waking up to a paddock full of sheep outside of my door. Everyone here was extremely courteous and professional. I would absolutely recommend this place to anyone staying in Lancaster. I would love to return the next time I am in the area.

Upon our arrival we were giving a tour of the main house, and shown were we had reserved to stay. It was quaint but like a little log cabin. Our bathroom had been given fresh linen and a basket on a small table had been filled with snacks. The room was very clean and warm. Warmth was needed since we were there in the fall and it was quite cool and windy. When you arrive you will agree on a breakfast time. In the morning you will arrive and be invited into their dining room, where they will equip you with tea, coffee, hot chocolate or even chocolate milk while you wait for breakfast to be finished cooking. Steve and Jamie cook everything fresh in their kitchen. Their food is divine...and if you love it as much as I know you will, then will give you a recipe to take home at the end of your trip. As you talk about your day, the innkeepers Steve and Jamie will sit and talk with you, but never neglecting putting more delicious food on your plate and filling your drinks. I promise you this is one breakfast table you won't get up feeling hungry from. Steve is very helpful in giving directions and giving you maps and brochures to destinations in the area. He is also good at giving you coupons to save money. The main house has a community room filled with books and movies for your watching enjoyment. There is also a small refrigerator always stocked with beverages of water and soda for the guest. We had such a pleasurable stay, I would definitely recommend Apple Bin Inn if you are going to Lancaster for business or for pleasure, Steve and Jamie will treat you right!!

The shared living room has comfortable couches and bookshelves full of books. The dining is also charming - very homey, with lots of country charm. I can't remember the name of my room, but it was a gorgeous suite. My bedroom had beautiful furniture (a comfortable bed, a dresser, and a desk), and my little den had a TV and a couch (where I read my book for a bit in the evening). The bathroom had everything I needed and was spacious. There was plenty of parking for guests, and the grounds are beautiful. If it hadn't stormed when I visited, I would have loved to read my book on the grounds. The breakfast in the morning was delicious (a yogurt parfait, some stuffed French toast, some bacon wrapped sausage, and coffee), and the service throughout was very friendly and helpful. The location was great; you're only a 10-minute drive from Lancaster and just a few minutes away from attractions in and near Willow Street (1719 Museum and Historic Rock Ford). My only little hiccup is that no one was at the house when I arrived to check in. I rang the doorbell several times before realizing that wasn't going anywhere. I called the number of the website and someone answered the second time. Once they realized the situation, someone arrived quickly and checked me in - it really wasn't a very big deal! Overall, I had a lovely stay at the Apple Bin Inn. I'd love to stay again! Just a really charming place to stay in Lancaster County!

J. Bowman House. During my stay found The E. J. Bowman House to be everything a bed and breakfast should be plus some. It's an 1860's Italianate Victorian home that has been completely redone and painstakingly renovated into a bed and breakfast by its owners, Diane and Scott O'Donnell. Diane is really not only the best of hosts but a truly warm and caring person, and one loaded with local information. As far as a bed and breakfast host, they don't come any better than Diane. The facilities of the Bowman House couldn't be better from the eye catching touches of Victorian furnishings and décor down to all the conveniences of private bathrooms, rooms with Wi-Fi and writing desks, robes, hair dryers, and personal controls for air conditioning and heat.

It was nice to have a slice of pie, eggs and coffee. You get to meet the people who stay at the other farmhouse too. Everyone hangs out and chit chats for a while. The morning starts with farm chores if you want to go! The kids loved it. There's a refrigerator for you to put your goodies in. It's not too far from town but you will need a car. Plenty of room to walk, kick a ball, play games. I will warn you, T-Mobile service is terrible there! Not their fault. Verizon seems to work well. This was an absolutely fantastic place to stay. I highly recommend it.

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.
