I spoke to Pam before they arrived and she was so helpful and I knew they would be in great hands. They said their room was beautiful, clean and spacious and that the breakfasts were wonderful. They said Pam and her husband were the most sweet and welcoming people and they really made the trip wonderful. So grateful that they made my parent's trip so awesome... go visit BF Hiestand House!

The room was wonderfully decorated. We had an amazing time in Marietta thanks to Pam and Dallas the hosts. They were very welcoming and loving. This is definitely a must-visit!

I will preface this review by saying the town of Marietta, PA is one of the most idyllic towns I…read morehave been to in the US. It is a river town and is a charming place to stay if you want to visit the area attractions in Lancaster, Lititz, or York. The Ascot House was built in 1800 and has been lovingly renovated by Wendy. Wendy is the best b&b host I have ever encountered and I love her British accent and stories. We were greeted as soon as we arrived and were shown to our room (the Essex). The Essex room is upstairs and the entrance is outside, but you have your own private porch which is great. It is also convenient if you have dogs as we did, because you can walk them or go into the backyard without going through the main house. Wendy is truly the most pet friendly b&b I have ever been to as well, and made sure the dogs had a water bowl on the porch soon after we arrived. She will also pet sit for you if need be for a reasonable rate. We promptly joined another couple on the deck for wine and cheese and had a great time talking to them and Wendy. There are two taverns in town that are in close walking distance, McLeary's and Shanks Tavern. Both have live music, but McLearys is larger and open on Saturday unlike Shanks. We had a great time exploring the town of Lititz on the Saturday and toured the PA Wolf Sanctuary which I highly recommend. Wendy is glad to provide any recommendations you need and we enjoyed the restaurant she recommended in Lititz. Wilbur's Chocolate Company from 1884 is also located in Lititz. The dining room is very formal and decorated in a beautiful manner. We were treated to many courses at breakfast - one morning we had a blueberry cake, fruit, and eggs and bacon, and the next morning we had yogurt and fruit, apple turnover, and waffles with true clotted cream. You can also get your own pot of tea which is a nice touch. You should not need lunch after eating breakfast here. The Lancaster area is very quiet on Sunday so you might have to venture farther for attractions that are open. Our favorite activities were just walking around the town of Marietta and looking at the beautiful 19th century homes, especially along the railroad tracks. They have a Candlelight Tour of some of the old homes every first Sunday in December and we have already booked to go back to the Ascot House because it was truly that special. The Susquehanna is a beautiful river and is located just behind the railroad tracks. Yes, you can hear the trains go by in the middle of the night so I would recommend ear plugs or taking some Benadryl. I wouldn't let that deter you from visiting this b&b which is located in one of the cutest small towns you can think of. There are also lots of wineries in the area that I want to try next time we return to the area. Make sure you check out the Chickie's Rock hike which is very easy and has a great view of the Susquehanna.

We just returned from 2 nights at Ascot. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The house is lovely and…read moreclean. Rooms are large and comfortable. The hosts, Bonny and Chris, are an absolute delight. We loved hanging out with them in the kitchen, eating breakfast made to order, and having great conversation! We felt like we were visiting our favorite relatives)))) Even though we gave it 5 stars, I must mention couple of cons. 1. The carpet in the bathroom. I don't like carpets anywhere, let alone in the bathroom. For various reasons it's unsanitary, allot easier to clean tile and hardwood floor, than carpet. 2. The train makes horrible noise, it honks for a long time in the middle of the night which is really disturbing. However, with windows closed you can't hear a thing. 3. Mattresses would need to be updated to something firmer and more modern and orthopedic. But I am sure,in time all will be improved and updated. Thank you, guys, again for making our stay so pleasant !

This place is a hidden gem! If you are looking for a peaceful, down to earth REAL farm, then this…read moreis the place for you! My kids are more excited about waking up for "chores" then going to Disney. Every single time we go (We've been there 4 years in a row) and without fail my kids are up at 6am!! Chores begin at 7:45... Chores consist of Vicky leading us in the journey of how to take care of animals at the farm. We begin by feeding pigs, horses, cows, milking the goat, greeting rabbits, feeding calfs, and picking eggs from the chicken coup which, if you stay in a room w/out kitchen, you get good old country breakfast courtesy of Biz & Tom. There is is a beautiful coy pond where kids swim (bring coins to feed the fish n floaties for little ones). There is an awesome tree house and play house. You can even make a fire and make s'mores. It is an amazing place to disconnect from the hustle & bustle of our daily lives and TECHNOLOGY. However, if you must use technology their Wi-Fi works just fine. We have made it a family tradition to go every year... looking forward to next visit. We've stayed in both the Hay Loft (you get a view of the whole place from here) and Chicken Coup where it cannot get any cozier.

Did our wedding.. WOW Awesome!…read more Everything was great! All of it! Everyone had such a good time. Eric did a phenomenal job getting everyone up on the dance floor.

He keeps in contact when necessary but doesn't overwhelm you with constant emails or phone calls.

First visit to try out their wines. Very pleasant surroundings and really unique tasting room…read morethat's in house that's been converted. Feels very homey. Service was friendly and I think overall the prices here are reasonable. Was not big on their whites - they were a bit to austere for our taste. The grunier vetliner holds promise but it's missing some of that wonderful pepper spicy note that you typically get. On the red side, they're entry-level wine, which is Redbone was actually our favorite kind of a pizza style light red. I also thought the title, which is there biggest red was pretty decent and they had a new release which I didn't catch the name of but tasted, and it was a Good one as well. Knocked on some cheese and bread with a music in the background and a beautiful deck. A worthwhile destination on a beautiful Saturday
