A visit to the Lancaster area must include a stay at the Rocky Acre Farm. Located in Mt Joy, close to all the Amish sites, the Rocky Acre Farm provides a unique bed and breakfast experience. The 200 year old farm was a refuge on the Underground Railroad and is still a working dairy farm. One of the best features of this establishment is the owner, a friendly, gregarious woman who will welcome you and help you to chart your adventure in Amish country. She will direct you to backroad jaunts along country roads to places the tourists don't always get to go. These include a woodworking shop, a farm where homemade ice cream can be consumed, and a pretzel factory where you can be the chef.
At the bed and breakfast itself you will stay in nicely appointed rooms which are decorated in the Pennsylvania Dutch style. There is a large family room with a complete kitchen, in case you want to bring your grandchildren along. Kids can feed a baby goat with a baby bottle, see cows being electronically milked and play with the multitude of cats found on the grounds. It is fun for grownups too.
The breakfast at Rocky Acre Farm is like no other breakfast I have experienced at any other bed and breakfast! It is a feast to behold. Every morning you will be treated to a multi coursed feast. It includes fluffy eggs, bacon, delicious hash browns, biscuits, hotcakes, fruit and more! The best part is this banquet is all included in your room rate.
By now you must be sold on a visit to Rocky Acre Farm. You will not be disappointed by the food, the hospitality and the surroundings.
