Quant, friendly, and relaxing…read more The 1777 Americana Inn Bed & Breakfast, or Americana for short, is a Bed and Breakfast made from a converted antique home. It's run by a lovely couple who have thought of almost everything to make your stay as enjoyable as possible. Most of the accommodations is handled with little human interaction: book your room online, get a digital code to use on the door the day of your check in, fill out a sheet for when you want breakfast, and enjoy your room. Every piece of wall and floor is covered in charming decor, most likely from the local Amish community, from handmade rugs, to cute paintings, to little figurines and plaques with wholesome quotes. In the rooms themselves, printed signs in big print show instructions on how to use your amenities. Breakfast was the highlight of my experience. Each breakfast is a mix of fresh fruit, a breakfast cake or pastry, and a home-made meal that changes every day. A lot of time and effort went into making each meal special, all of which accompanied by coffee and juice. Each morning on our stay, we were greeted by the extremely friendly owners. During my stay, my wife and I found a few extra surprises that we didn't know were included when we originally booked our stay: A study that's perfect for reading or playing chess, complimentary snacks and whiskey, bath salts for our hot tub that was included in our room, complimentary Hulu streaming service. A booklet in our room had the history of the town, local attractions, and the best nearby restaurants for dining in and taking out. An outdoor area with nice chairs and a fire-pit. There were a few minor nitpicks that might be a bigger deal for you than they were for me: during our stay, the towel hanger on the wall fell off, most likely due to a lose screw. The thin walls made it possible to hear other guests and the occasional car outside. The TV in the room is so small, that it was difficult to enjoy. Americana is a wonderfully charming B&B experience that made our Pennsylvania trip all the more special.

A weekend getaway with my girlfriend at the Americana Inn Bed & Breakfast was a 5 star experience!…read moreMy room was called The Patriot Suite and had 3 levels. The first level was the living room and had a big screen TV with Hulu live included, plus access to log in to any other streaming service you subscribe to. The second level was a jacuzzi tub. My only minor complaint is that you can't see the TV from the tub. But it's the perfect size for 2 people and soaking in it felt amazing. My back was a bit sore and the jacuzzi made it feel better. The 3rd level was the bedroom. It had a TV with all the streaming services available, assuming you subscribe to them. The bed seemed small but still comfy for two. 10% of each booking of The Patriot is donated to a rotating military charity quarterly. My girlfriend is a military veteran so she loved the military theme of the décor and the charitable contribution. You have the option of 2 Breakfast times (8:30 & 9:30), and breakfast both days I was there was delicious. French toast one day and breakfast tacos the next day. I devoured each mouth watering breakfast. As a bonus the inn is next to a brewery that has good beer, cocktails and food! What more could I expect from a B&B? I shall return!

I could even forgive the out dated style and yellow wall paints if it wasn't for one thing. Omg. Omg. The music, the music. For some reason we could hear loud music in our bedroom/hotel room the whole time but from around 12 am - 8 am. We heard it when we checked in and the next morning, while my husband was still asleep. When I say loud, I mean we could understand every word in every song that played. I am assuming it was the music from the restaurant, but after paying over $270 per night it is something I would not expect to happened.

Grandview Vineyard was a nice place to enjoy beverages out on the deck!…read more Initially, I was surprised by the views once we stepped outside at the Vineyard. It doesn't necessarily look like that as you drive up. The only downfall is that there is only one restroom. The pricing seemed decent. I was super pleased that they had a small selection of mocktails. Their strawberry lemonade spritz wasn't too sweet or too tart! It was just right. My friends seemed to enjoy all the wine choices! Additionally, the crab pretzel was amazing!! The charcuterie boards looked worth it. Plenty of seating and a live band was set up around 6/630, but we left just as they were coming in. Highly recommend and would come back (even as a sober lady!).

Set on rolling Pennsylvania countryside, the views are straight out of a postcard. It's peaceful, scenic, and exactly the kind of place where time slows down (in the best way). The wine list is well thought out, approachable yet refined, with something for every palate. Nothing felt mass-produced or rushed and each pour had intention behind it. The staff deserves real credit: knowledgeable, welcoming, and genuinely proud of what they're pouring. They guide you without the wine snob energy, which makes the experience feel relaxed and inviting, whether you're a casual sipper or a full-on wine enthusiast. This stop elevated our Lancaster trip and added a fresh layer to a tradition we already love. Grandview Vineyard isn't just a winery, it's an experience worth building into your itinerary. We'll be back. No question. For photos, wine highlights, and more travel-food stops worth the drive, check out @travelingtastebuds_

However arriving so early meant the staff were either uninformed of the days events or just not ready. Signage was confusing on where to park and we ultimately were forced to return to our car with three little kids in tow, move it to a grassy area in desperate need of a mow, than wait in the car due to the cold until the shuttle was set up and we were taken go the train. The Easter train and activities that day were nice, although I still felt the staff weren't knowledgeable, and when we approached customer service for a program of the days events after seeing other people with them, they were even confused on where to get them. Other than misinformation, we enjoyed that day. My grandson found a gold egg for which they comped us the $35 ticket to the 4th of July festivities. The 4th of July activities were promoted heavily on Facebook and listed alot of great activities for kids one would assume would be included in the ticket cost. They also had fireworks, which we did not plan on staying for. My grandkids were excited to go on the train ride and get their faces painted. Neither happened, because once there we were told the train ride was an additional $15 per person and that the face painters were a no show. We were directed to a lower barn, a good walk from where we were with 3 small kids and told that's where the kids activities were. I don't consider food trucks and a coloring page "kids activities " but wherever. Annoyed we made the long trek back up the hill to the star barn in 90 + degree weather before a nice employee saw us struggling with the double stroller and gave us a ride on her golf cart, for which we were very thankful. The activities up there weren't much either. A gaga ball pit and corn hole, and the same coloring page inside. Bull rides and pony rides were an additional fee. The petting zoo was free but lame. 2 donkeys, 2 ponies, and two lamas we had no access to. The entertainment was a juggler who thought he was funny but failed to entertain adults and children alike. Every where you turned there were nickel and dime fees. So what was the $35 fee for? I'm assuming to see fireworks you can see elsewhere for free. So glad our ticket was comped, as this event was lame, and the hour we wasted there, mostly walking in extreme heat we can never get back.
