Amish Homestay Bed & Breakfast
The Amish Homestay Bed & Breakfast offers the most authentic Amish experience, and the greatest amount of interaction with the host couple of all our lodgings. This Old Order Amish “farmette” (not a farm) offers in-home lodging with breakfast provided. The guest bedrooms are located on the 2nd floor of this home with a shared bath. Lodging includes tour of property & discussion of Amish life & culture.
This is a 3 acre rural property with horse & buggy, goats, chickens, large gardens, fruit trees, barn, etc. located near Ephrata in Lancaster County. Lodging is in the home of an Amish couple (in their 60’s) and their adult son. There are a few lamps which run on battery power but there are no electrical outlets in the guesthouse. This is a great lodging for guests who desire an authentic Amish experience with opportunity for interaction and discussion about the Amish way of life. This is not a good option for those requiring the usual amenities and luxuries of a modern bed & breakfast. You should be prepared to enter what feels like a different time & culture!

- $95 per/night plus tax & booking fees (for 2 guests)

We booked two nights with Ben and Emma and brought our two young children as a cultural learning experience, which I think is so important. We chose this bed and breakfast since we wanted as much interaction with our hosts as possible. We were definitely not disappointed! Ben and Emma treated us as friends and answered our questions without making us feel foolish. Ben brought us on a buggy ride and taught the kids to play shuffleboard. We all played board games together and spent the evenings talking and sitting around the fire. Emma made the most delicious meals and her meatloaf with homemade ketchup was to die for! Definitely take advantage of booking a dinner at the house. The second night we went out to eat and were regretting it the whole time.
Thank you for your informative review. We're glad you enjoyed your Amish Bed & Breakfast experience!
This was an incredibly unique and valuable experience. Ben and Emma were so incredibly nice and accommodating. They treat you like friends not strangers. A beautiful farm and lovely surrounding countryside and farmland.
My sister and I stayed two nights with Ben and Emma and we really enjoyed our time there. I promise you really won’t miss electricity unless you are glued to your electronics. If you really want to know more about the Amish and their way of life, this is the place to be. We plan on going back to visit.
