Amish Encounters No.8 – Where we stayed

During our time in Lancaster County, Pennsylvania we stayed at The Artist’s Inn, Terre Hill, hosted by Jan and Bruce. For anyone thinking of spending time in this part of the world we can thoroughly recommend this most hospitable and helpful B&B. Our recommendation (we did receive a benefit for writing this – the benefit of saying ‘Thank you’!) posted on a number of travel blogs follows –

Our long term interest in the Amish and Mennonite Christian tradition brought us from Australia to Lancaster County for a week. We needed an Inn! Our expectations were exceeded many times over.

The hospitality of Jan and Bruce was outstanding. Innkeeper Jan was invariably happy, accommodating, generous and willing to help our interests and itinerary – perhaps ‘unfazed’ is the word I am looking for. Jan went to a great deal of trouble from helping us track down people to helping us pat mules! – now that is something else! Jan’s home cooked ‘every day a new delight’ breakfast menu is just fantastic. Jan even keeps a record of our menus so that next time we will not eat the same menu, unless requested. The delicious breakfasts also meant dollars in the bank as lunch was never needed.

Location is marvellous as it is 5 minutes off the busy tourist thoroughfares and so gives rest and yet all is near when required. Administration, service and web were all accurate, clear and helpful. We have stayed in many fine B&Bs in many countries and The Artists Inn is our number 1 – enjoy it!

Thank you to Jan and her gifted husband – artist with picture and pen, imbued with a wry spirit of humor and self-reflection that brings forth our laughter and knowing nod to wisdom expressed. Thank you, Jan and Bruce. God bless you and all your guests.
