In 2006 Lancaster County is featuring local foods. The local foods are wonderful and you will get a taste of that wonderful "stuff" at breakfast. We will be glad to direct you to events about Flavorfest. This such an exciting time!

We are just 20 minutes from Hershey and offer accommodations that equals most of what Hershey  has and we are close to other attractions as well. You get to enjoy the country while visiting one of America's favorite towns.

Just spent time with some friends in downtown Lancaster. It was a great day seeing what is there for you to enjoy. We had lunch at Lancaster Dispensing Co. just across from Central Market. Very Good food!

Spring has sprung!!!! I've gathered information for you to do tours or get garden plants with coupons and gardening hints. I have local greenhouses that specialize in bedding plants to make your yard beautiful all year.
