The Artist’s Inn & Gallery in Terre Hill
Come and
enjoy this antique-filled 1853, Federal Inn in Terre Hill, a small town nestled
among Amish and Mennonite farms. Browse through the colored pencil pictures in
the gallery/sitting room, featuring the work of Innkeeper, Bruce Garrabrandt.
You'll feel like you've escaped to a simpler, gentler time as horse-drawn
buggies pass by the inn and chimes play from the 19th century church across the
street. Tennis, golf, and cross-country skiing are all nearby or you can enjoy
spectator sports like antiquing and outlet shopping. At the end of your day,
you'll find your bed turned down with home-made chocolates on your
pillow. All of our food is made from scratch and feature eggs and produce from
nearby farms, flour and grains from a local mill and even the chocolate is from
a nearby chocolate factory. All rooms are furnished in antiques, and include
hairdryers, fireplaces, robes, CD players, clock radios, irons and ironing
boards and featherbeds covered with Amish-made quilts. Two rooms boast
whirlpool tubs and one also has a massage shower and private porch. Terre Hill
has some of the best views in Lancaster County. The
terrain is hilly and many bike touring companies go right past the front of our
inn, which also is true for horse-drawn buggies of the local Amish and
Mennonite farmers. Adamstown (called the "Antiques Capitol of the USA"),
is just four miles away and has thousands of dealers and their wares every
weekend. There are local farm markets, covered bridges, one-room schoolhouses,
produce stands and small craft and antique stores. Our town has a Memorial Day
Service, annual antique car show weekend, town-wide yard sale weekend, and
Terre Hill Days. Surrounding towns also have harvest festivals in the fall. The
city of Lancaster is a
short drive away and offers many museums and historic walking tours. This area
is also known for micro-breweries and we can steer guests to some of the best.
Learn about the unique lifestyle of the Amish and Old Order Mennonites. Of
course, there is always outlet shopping in Reading or Lancaster.
