About Us
We invite you to come, relax, savor our views, and enjoy our animals at Country Vistas Bed and Breakfast. We are a farmette peacefully situated on five acres atop a ridge, with exquisite views and nestled amidst our landscaped flower gardens, vegetable gardens, and berry patches, fruit orchard, pastureland, and woodland.

We offer family-friendly, air-conditioned accommodations, a tranquil country atmosphere, a full country breakfast, and a hands-on farm animal experience for the children.
Our location serves as a home base for enjoying the many attractions of Lancaster County, as well as nearby Hershey and even the Gettysburg battlefields (about an hour and a half away). We will provide a free Lancaster County map and vacation guide and will be happy to make sight-seeing suggestions, call in reservations, or even arrange a dinner in an Amish home.

Choose from one of our four guest rooms, which are clean, homey, and tastefully decorated. Each room is fully air-conditioned, has a private bath, and features a king or queen bed, with futons and cribs available.

A spacious sitting room, a large front porch with rockers, a brick patio with fireplace, a bench swing, and a lawn glider all provide peaceful and picturesque settings in which to relax and unwind.
Strolling around the grounds or taking a walk to a nearby covered bridge affords you another opportunity to soak in the country and be refreshed.

We'll start your day off with a hearty breakfast, often including fresh fruit from our orchard; fresh asparagus, strawberries, or raspberries from our patches; and, of course, fresh brown eggs from our chickens. This leisurely breakfast is enjoyed in our lovely, sunlit dining room, featuring skylights and a large picture window looking out onto our enchanting country vistas. Some of our guests have even reported skipping lunch after enjoying this tasty and filling spread.

For children, the excitement of holding kittens; of meeting our newborn lambs and goats; of hand-feeding chickens, goats, and sheep; of gathering eggs from the nests in henhouse; and of taking a tractor-drawn wagon ride, promises to be a memorable experience. There are swings to enjoy, basketballs to shoot, and tetherball to play. The large yard and grounds are great places to run around, play tag or hide-and-go-seek, climb trees, and, on summer nights, catch fireflies.

As your hosts, our desire is to make you feel at home, to provide a comfortable and relaxing atmosphere, and to facilitate your plans in making happy memories as a family or couple. Many of our guests have remarked that their stay at Country Vistas provided a much-needed respite from the busyness, stress, and fast pace of everyday life and a fun and memorable experience for their children. (See Trip Advisor for reviews that our guests have written.) We look forward to seeing you!
Your hosts,
Steve & Carol Erk
Samuel, Nathanael, Andrew and Benjamin
