My second visit—an 8-minute ride from Lancaster train station. The garden/pound behind the historic house is a tranquil retreat, and a township park nearby offers shady walking. I always head to R.B. Shap (5-min drive) for shoes; Lititz offers dining options. My hosts, Diane and Scott, are welcoming and affable. I will gladly return.

What a fabulous B&B! The hosts are delightful, respectful, and very sweet. The location was perfect for us, between Lancaster and Lititz, and away from the crazy touristy corridors. The house is immaculate! The atmosphere is elegant yet cozy, peaceful, well appointed! We wanted for nothing. Every need was anticipated and prepared for. Our room, Witmer, was quite comfortable, clean, and beautifully decorated. The house is gorgeous and was decorated for the holidays so beautifully and tastefully! The breakfasts were so delicious that the hosts need to publish a cookbook. I have celiac and the hosts were undaunted, ensuring that I was both well fed and given gluten free yummies. This stay was truly a joy!

Elegant and comfortable, the Bowman House is surprisingly quiet despite its fronting on Lititz Pike (501). In the rear garden a waterfall offered a tranquil retreat. Scott and Diane served delicious breakfasts, and a guest kitchen is stocked with snacks and a Flavia coffee/cappucino/matcha tea machine. My favorite shoe store, R B Shap, is two miles away and downtown Lititz less than 4. I’ve stayed in four other inns/hotels in the area and this is by far the best. Diane and Scott made me feel very welcome; I’ll gladly return.

The garden around the property was well maintained and enhanced the patio and thus increased our enjoyment of the patio area. The main house is beautiful and kept spotlessly, bringing honor to the memory of the original owners of years gone by. Thank you!

Scott and Diane are excellent host and hostess-friendly, accommodating, welcoming, outgoing and truly happy to have new visitors or welcome back old friends. Their big smile and amicable friendly conversation make us feel immediately at home every time we visit and their intimate knowledge of the Lancaster area always helps to point us in the right direction to see something new and different. The property is beautifully maintained and the 1860 house is in pristine condition. This along with the 3-course top notch excellent breakfast makes the B&B of choice in the Lancaster area. Scott-love the hat. Well done!
