Final Thoughts

Lancaster County’s charm lies in its simplicity, authenticity, and traditions. On your visit, I recommend taking advantage of the chance to learn about Amish life firsthand – either by arranged farm tours, buggy rides through Amish farmland, or simply by getting out and visiting the many Amish businesses throughout the county.

This latter option gives you a chance to interact directly with Amish people – and can be a great learning experience.

This list gives a good idea of the range of lodging options available in Lancaster County – it’s not exhaustive, of course, but you should find something here to suit your situation – whether going on a couple’s weekend, country getaway, or family vacation.

But no matter where you stay—whether it’s against a backdrop of fields of corn or in a historic downtown building—in Lancaster County you should expect to find genuine hospitality, and a chance to slow down and reconnect. Drive safely, don’t be afraid to ask questions, and enjoy the chance to learn about a culture and people that may at times surprise you.
