Five stars with a couple of small caveats! First time we stayed here and we would come back. The decor is beautiful and unique and the location is private and very pretty. The breakfast is FABULOUS and is better than a restaurant. My husband was able to add gorgeous roses and chocolate and snack basket onto our reservation for our anniversary. There are freshly baked cookies and other delicious treats available at all times, plus water and soda available in a fridge at no extra charge at all times. The owners seem very nice, and there is also a gift shop with honey and other neat items. The small caveats are: The website was NOT clear that the jacuzzi rooms do not have a stand up shower. We aren't really bath people so we were taken aback by that. However it's ok, we only spent two nights and we had a chill weekend so it was ok to relax in a bath one evening. Next, the toilet is really sluggish and clogs easily. And last, there is no thermostat in the individual rooms and we found it to be freezing cold (with that said, bring a hoodie or open the balcony door and it's fine). Anyway despite the little nit picks I still feel it is a five star place and would recommend! read more

Fantastic hidden gem in the middle of Amish country. Always have a great time. All the rooms are beautiful with private bathroom. Atmosphere is so cozy and great for couples or weekend away. They have a fireplace, great outside property and everything you need to relax and take your mind off the stress. read more

We used to love this place as a family, but we had a terrible last experience. After going every year, we will no longer be going to Swiss Woods. For weeks we would call trying to book our yearly trip to the B&B, but this time was very different. They were very nasty to us multiple times on the phone, and would say call later. After a couple weeks, they said, oh we can't help you, just go online and do it yourself (in a very nasty way). After doing that, it was radio silence from Swiss Woods. We couldn't get anyone to call us back completing our registration, and eventually they canceled our booking. We have no idea why, after years of going, and great experience with the owners previously, this time I guess they didn't want us as guests. I DO NOT RECOMMEND this place to anyone. We have told people who have asked us about it that it's not worth the money, find somewhere else. And trust us, as B&B lovers, we found some other great places to stay, with amazing staff, and even better property. Especially if you are going with family, you definitely should find somewhere else, this place has really changed. read more

Fabulous b&b. Wonderful hosts, beautiful setting & rooms, great breakfast. Highly recommend!!

You know how sometimes you want to tell a story but there are so many crucial things you want to be sure are heard that you're stammering everything? So please forgive my stammering effort to explain how fantastic Swiss Woods Cottage -- and more accurately how fantastic the PEOPLE are. First - simply - if you want the most PEACEFUL, idyllic, relaxing escape for your hard-earned vacation time, Swiss Woods is your escape. We drove in from Philly on the South route along the 30, then the 772 up to Lititz - it was such an incredible picturesque drive in to the area to begin our stay ! And Lititz, which you must visit during your stay, was that perfect little town that seems as though some sage old man has crafted it into his model train set, embellished its every detail and then found a way to transform it into a living breathing little town square and lampposts and teeny police station with the patrol car perpetually parked at the curb.. We arrived late at night, disappearing into a forest side road and feeling like we had stepped out of the world as my phone's gps stuttered and failed a little way into the path. Then we saw the sign and headed up the isolated drive where the picture-perfect cottage appeared in a quiet clearing. Immediately upon entering, we were struck by how much the place felt like a homey cabin we had happened upon that welcomed all visitors to sit by the fireplace, listen to the peaceful, quiet music, and enjoy one of the many little handcrafted baked treats that sat by the guestbook. We met the delightful, warm friendly proprietor, Debbie who quickly invited us to enjoy any of the lovely aspects of the cabin, explained what to expect in the morning, showed us to our room, and gave us our space to relax. The room was, basically, perfect! It was obvious that although it had an old cottage charm they take great care to provide everything to make the room comfortable and convenient. It was very clean, spacious, and yet cozy - the bathroom was equally so. They provided cable television with a DVD player, a perfectly suitable closet and dresser. In addition, one of those delights that we would never expect but turned out to be absolutely wonderful was a door directly out to the front of the cabin in addition to the one leading to the interior of the larger cabin. Coming back from a busy day of sightseeing and shopping and being able to go directly from our car to our private room was wonderful! In the morning breakfast was served in the family style and we got to meet a couple of newlyweds and enjoy breakfast together. The breakfast was AMAZING. Debbie and her assistants are amazing chefs, serving interesting, varied and DELICIOUS food, sweet, savory, and comforty. She makes an effort to change it up day to day, and makes it very obvious that you can eat as much as you like and she will bring more with a smile! As we closed out our meal, Wernor, Debbie's husband, made interesting conversation with the four of us about the cabin, and all of the areas he maintains for the guests that we could enjoy, as well as offering his thoughts for enjoying our time in Lancaster to the fullest. We were so grateful for his wise suggestions! Normally we have just a few 'must-sees' surrounded by a 'let's see what we see' approach, but Wernor's advice helped us see some of the most beautiful of the very beautiful countryside while also being able to see the terrific covered bridges, dairy, with the most fantastic ice-CREAM ever, and get shopping in too. The next day, our last, was just as wonderful and tremendously relaxed, but if you've read this far I must implore you: give yourself the time to explore the serene, gorgeous, and quiet land around Swiss Woods. Wernor has taken great care to make trails through the wooded landscape with little spots for pausing and deeply breathing it all in. We took a blissful stroll before we left, but were very saddened to realize just how much care has been given to making a peaceful escape right beside our cabin only when we were pressed for time.. Please, reward the meticulous efforts and gracious, enjoyable company of Debbie and Wernor and reward yourself with the most peaceful of escapes by staying at Swiss Woods.. read more

Absolutely lovely B&B. Accommodations were superb (we did the Matterhorn suite) and the breakfast meals were out of bounds delicious. Very close to Lititz, Hershey park, and other local attractions. The hosts were extremely friendly and welcoming. Definitely plan on coming back. read more

This is a wonderful place to get away. This place has a warm and inviting atmosphere with beautiful landscape, wood interiors and nice big stone fireplace. The rooms are very comfortable with private bathrooms and a door to the outside and very comfortable beds. The food is absolutely fantastic as well! The only thing that outshines the place itself is the staff. Very friendly, warm, inviting and engaging. read more

Swiss Woods - Common area with fireplace, plenty of seating piano & guitar - Bed & Breakfast Near Me - Lititz, Pennsylvania

My boyfriend and I just returned from a perfect Christmas getaway at Swiss Woods Inn, staying for three nights from December 21-24. It truly is a magical place. By the third night, I felt as if I was staying in a friend's home, rather than a place of business. It provided the perfect balance of privacy and fellowship with wonderful people. Werner and Debbie are incredible hosts who truly go out of their way to get to know their guests. As a young couple, we had been nervous about going to our first bed and breakfast, but we felt truly welcome and they were happy to help make our stay at the inn special. The rooms are pristine and cozy, ours was called the "Emmental." It had a private entrance, so we could choose to come and go under the radar or grab a handful of delicious toffee from the living room while chatting with the other guests by the fire. I've never eaten a more delicious breakfast in my life. Each day several different items were served. For example, one morning we were served sausages, potato pancakes, and french toast that literally melted in your mouth. Since it was Christmastime, we ate beneath the shimmering light of a Christmas tree lit with real candles, just one of many Swiss traditions that inspire the inn's beautiful decor. Swiss Woods is a place that I will feel homesick for next Christmas. But chances are, I won't feel that way for long, because I'll be there celebrating a new Christmas tradition. read more

I found this place through a livingsocial email I got a few weeks ago. We stayed here over a long weekend for our first wedding anniversary. Originally, we had not planned to do anything special, but when I saw the deal and saw there was availability for our anniversary weekend I felt that we couldn't pass it up. I've always wanted to visit Lancaster county and this seemed like the perfect (not to mention affordable) opportunity. The inn is very cozy and inviting. We enjoyed some time out by the fire pit our first evening there. Breakfasts were fabulous and they did a great job accommodating my need for gluten-free meals. We did not need lunch at all since breakfast was so filling! While in the area, we browsed in the shops in downtown Lititz during their monthly Second Friday event, took a walking tour of downtown Lancaster, visited Lapp Valley Farm for some wonderful Amish ice cream, had a great anniversary dinner at General Sutter's Inn in downtown Lititz, visited the nearby wolf sanctuary (definitely worth the money), & went to a Hershey Bears game (and stopped at Hershey's Chocolate World for a hot cocoa before the game). It was great to be able to come back to the inn to unwind and relax after our outings. The coffee pot is always full and there are plenty of baked treats available for those who don't have dietary restrictions. There are also tons of different loose leaf teas to choose from. The staff was very welcoming and friendly. I would highly recommend Swiss Woods for a nice long weekend off the beaten path. read more

I had always been hesitant about staying at a B&B. I worried that we were inconveniencing the proprietor. But...after my stay at Swiss Woods, I'm sold!!! This place is so pretty! The food is outstanding! The grounds are gorgeous! The Lititz/Lancaster area is a favorite destination spot for my husband and me and we are thrilled to have discovered Swiss Woods. read more

My wife and I spent our first wedding anniversary at Swiss Woods and we already booked next year's trip. This was our first B&B and we are now big fans. If you're looking for a nice relaxing stay, I highly recommend the Swiss Woods. Fresh food, clean environment, well groomed grounds, secluded areas, hiking trails, fireplace, and even rooms with private balconies and jacuzzi tubs. Be prepared to relax. read more

This inn puts the B in bed and the B in breakfast. In addition, it puts the B in beautiful. (This is probably more in the "B" word than anyone wanted in a review). However, whether you are inside or outside the inn you will feel Blessed by your surroundings. I love not hearing any cars, listening to the birds and walking among the incredible landscaping and grounds that Werner maintains. As for Breakfast, it is yummy, nutritious and wonderfully presented. Beds are made to snuggle into and sleep away the night and perhaps a daytime nap. Hospitality abounds, whether it is from Werner and Debbie, or from their pleasant, helpful staff. I need Internet access when I travel, and this B&B's wireless is super convenient. Is there a downside? Absolutely; I had to leave and go home. read more

My boyfriend and I spent part of our spring break at Swiss Woods to take a step away from the stress of graduate school, and it was a fantastic, relaxing trip! Swiss Woods is located on a hill that overlooks miles of farms and we enjoyed driving around the beautiful area. The little town of Lititz was fun to explore and we especially enjoyed checking out Appalachian Brewing Company. This was our first bed and breakfast and we were mighty impressed! Everyone was super friendly and I cannot say enough good things about the breakfasts! We will be making the delicious baked oatmeal this weekend. The rooms were cozy and I loved the fireplace -- definitely gave the place a homey vibe. Tea and coffee were always available, and as someone that loves tea, I was pleased to see they had dozens of choices. Yummy cookies and other baked goods were out in the afternoon/evening and we made sure to sample everything! Basically it was a wonderful trip and I'd highly recommend Swiss Woods to anyone that is looking for relaxation or enjoys exploring small towns. read more

You are simply not going to find a better B&B. Werner and Debbie are fantastic hosts (we even got to experience Werner's bees first hand...wow, what a treat that was.) Debbie has a perfect whatever-you-need can-do attitude and the place is beautiful in its surroundings, cleanliness, breakfasts, staff. A perfect time all the way around. We will be back! Anna and Ralph read more

We spent three nights at Swiss Woods and loved the experience. Our room was comfortable. The breakfasts were fantastic, and the afternoon sweets were very nice. The grounds were magnificent, with beautiful flowers and many birds; sitting outside to read and listen to the birds was so peaceful. The B&B is convenient to all of PA's Lancaster County sights and shopping--the Amish markets, the crafts and quilts, and the outlet centers, as well as many great restaurants. The Swiss Woods gift shop has teas and soaps that my wife found enticing. read more
